fist may have responded to this i'm not sure i didn't check. but frozen vegetables are actually the best aside from being fresh. they are generally frozen at a peak ripeness and done so very rapidly (flash frozen) in huge blast chillers. as far as preservatives in frozen veg it is only the freeze put on them to preserve them. now i can't tell you that they're GMO free cause most of them probably are.
you're totally right. there are some high quality frozen veggies out there, they just are really gross to me. i think i ate some when i was little and barfed them all up and just could never eat them again. frozen fruits are ok though. not sure exactly why...some kind of stigma.

I'm just going to point out that I was drunk browsing this thread last night, and I thought 5 from Australia started it...this shit reads like someone who isn't from America is complaining about the way a lot of people eat here.
Looking at it now, it just became 400 times more retarded. You live here and yet you're fronting like there's no such thing as a good meal, but you love to talk about all the good meals and high society food you eat...
good meals shouldnt just be in high society. i love a fucking down n dirty taco truck burrito just as much as a 'fancy' meal. but really why should that 'fancy meal' cost me so much? because nutritious food in america is underrated, or not very sought after.
in germany, they go home for lunch fo 2 hours. shops shut down and friends and family are allowed to cook, eat, talk, have a good time then go back to work. that sounds pretty interesting. not sure if they still do this...

still...i'm bringing back to one of my main points - grocery shopping is fucking weird. the way most food is grown in america is fucking weird. the way its packaged, processed, and shipped is fucking weird. yes it happens in other countries, but some of the extreme lengths that these american companies go through just to bring processed and packaged food to the grocery store is incredibly absurd. i see it more as marketing than actually trying to nourish people. that where the nutrition classes in school would be awesome...
so yes i think its sad when cooking is lost through generations - like what JUST THE TIP said: "the experience of eating and preparing food with your friends and family is extremely underrated in the states, imo. with the exception of the good ol american bbq, of course."
i totally agree.
i dont always have time to cook a huge meal for breakfast lunch or dinner. i work for a living. so yes, i do enjoy going out to restaurants where someone *hopefully* more trained in the culinary world than me can prepared something for me to eat. but in my fucked up head - i somewhat find that is more natural/better than me than opening up a can of raviolis and eating them.

i guess this thread needs more tits. how about this wifey status?
-
but im trying to say, grocery stores are fucking weird! thats what i said in my post. someone else brought up whole foods.

my dads job just got relocated. my parents dont really like each other, but they have gotten old enough where they just said fuck it. my mom had to move with him, 5 hours away. they lived in the house i grew up in. sure they rented, it was a duplex, behind some ghetto apartments near a busy street and a 7-11, but they lived there for so long.
she was hella sad to move far away from me...but she has a new house and im hoping she will like it.
-
more like engineered and processed.

i hope this is true.

the discount helps tremendously. i don't think it's feasible to buy 2 weeks worth of whole foods stuff at once. there aren't any preservatives.
i like their cheese selection though. i consider it more of a specialty store, not something I'd go to everyday... unless of course I got it like that... then, well, I'd highside on all yall bitch asses.
hint: grab the most expensive cheese and hand it to someone behind the counter and ask for a sample....they gotta sample it all!

Yeah, they just misunderstood him. He said he had training by a guy named Al Kaeda.
bwhahahahahaha im 24d

In a word: pleasure. It's like, my pleasure in other people's leisure.

1. keep in mind: you rule at life
2. no mentioning other past jobs unless its a situation that you rocked at - like solving a problem (without too many details on why it needed to be solved).
-
at least americans should know how to bbq....or cook a steak. but people my age.....usually dont. its sad.
-
This is what i imagine you looking like.
ew.

No that's cafeteria food or food they serve at Senior Citizen centers or soup kitchens.
Surely you don't think this is what staple American food is.
i wouldn't put it past a majority of people here. At least folks my age.
-
as good as whole foods stuff is.. the place is WAY overpriced. i refuse to do any serious shopping there.
.99 cents for a pound of pasta...$2.49 for a jar of organic pasta sauce = win.
there is gourmet artesinal shit there for sure...but you gotta look for the stuff that is priced match to trader joes. some shit gets hella cheap.
high end meats, wines and cheeses are for sure expensive, but we have comparable things for all of it. we also take food stamps :D
I can get by $50/2 weeks shopping there.

fuck yes. making my day!
so i made my first successful vietnamese meal. yes yes...it was also very tasty...and i made thomas keller's pre se style roasted chicken. shit was the bombbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
so easy too:
1. get whole chicken to room temp (not too long...just not cold or frozen)
2. trusse the chicken (see video)
3. salt, pepper inside and out. a little fresh thyme on top
4. roast at 475 for 35 minutes, 425 for 40 minutes

and voila! best fucking crispy roasted delicious chicken youve ever had. no oil, no butter.....ugh it was amazing.

well, I grew up behind a 7-11. I used to have to eat shit out of a can. I am no stranger to poor American meals my friends...
But as I grow older, I crave more "less human handling"for my food I guess you could say.
