I have to eat bones, anons. the health benefits are apparently outstanding. How do I make bone broth if I can't leave a pot on the stove for hours?

>40 minutes at 2/5 power is enough to keep it at cooking temp
>economical
>everything falls off the bone, plenty of gristle to chew

>bone broth & actually healthy cooked chicken in 40 mins instead of maybe 6 hours, with basically zero prep

I really need to get over my dislike for legumes, how do yall eat them? Beans in chili is the only thing I can tolerate atm.

Anonymous 16-06-23 16:51:41 No.34675

>>34662
Why the dislike? They are the same as any other slop but with texture and healthier. Just keep adding ghee and spices lol.

They go in a soup with a bunch of other crunchy vegetables and blend in to the mix.
They go on your tacos when you make a plate.
They go in chili.
Baked beans go on toast.

The bean is simply a vessel for nutrients, their flavor and texture profile isn't the focus. Notice how most any meal with beans has it either mixed in with stuff, fried and mashed, or slathered in sauce.

Beans can be good by themselves.
Freshly boiled beans only need salt and a bit of oregano, you can broil them with oil and epazote leaves mixed in the water but that's it.

>They go in a soup with a bunch of other crunchy vegetables and blend in to the mix.
That can be done but I think that lentils, broad beans or garbanzo should taste better on that kind of soup.

Just got done arguing with a libertarian friend about MSG. I said that it's not much more harmful than salt and gave him sources and his only argument was "I found a source that says otherwise and I don't trust anything government funded."

I love my friends, but goddamn.

Being friends with retards is fine until you want to actually talk about something interesting at which point you realize it's pointless.

wanted to get dinner delivered for the first time in a while but a pizza with breadsticks came out to 60 dollars.. That's the same amount I spent on the last grocery run. Settled for bangers with rice and a baked dessert instead which couldn't have been more than a few dollars altoghether.

anon wants to eat more legumes and pulses so here's my recipe
full disclosure: if you eat sugar, or are already fat, eating saturated fat as part of a snack like this, on top of a shit diet, is not a good idea.
I'll pig myself on this when high every week or two but I'm active and ript
-cook and slightly dry a lot of chick peas
-spread them in a shallow baking tray
-paint them lightly with coconut oil (it's saturated fat but it's among the oils with a high enough smoke point to use in the oven)
-apply herbs and spices of your choice. Mexican, Chinese 5 spice, I like Indian curry flavors.
-toast and roast to your taste
-enjoy monke mode with crunchy spicy greasy healthy munchies
Why is this healthier for the occasional feast than processed shit food?
-No simple sugars. This alone is enough.
-contains high protein, healthy fats and complex carbs. shit food contains minimal protein, unhealthy fats and simple sugars and carbs
-not designed by food scientists to mask satiety. you will feel normally full after eating a normal amount
-doesn't contain any additives, entirely whole foods
-you are not supporting porky and a culture of helplessness and obesity by buying shit

I started eating more vegetables and now smell awful due to constantly having awful smelling gas. Maybe being healthy isnt worth it

give your gut biome time to adjust and develop anon. If it's not accustomed to dealing with more vegetables it may take time to grow to deal with a healthier diet.

I think I’m just allergic to beans/cruciferous veggies. No other vegetables/fruits do this to me

Anonymous 10-07-23 06:30:29 No.35116

I never realized how good tuna steaks are until recently. Cover in lemon pepper and salt, fry on both sides at high heat for about 2 minutes (making sure the middle is still somewhat raw) and serve. They're tender enough to cut through with a fork and taste awesome.

Highly unlikely anon. The standard practice for introducing a new food to your diet is to do it gradually, like anything else, and add increasing amounts to your diet slowly. Next is to make sure that your gut micro biome has the probiotics necessary to digest this food that is new to it. This means maybe eating more fermented yogurt, maybe fermented cabbage, maybe probiotic pills. This will give your gut the bacteria necessary to digest any new foods more effectively. You are not allergic to food, you have more likely normalized an extremely narrow diet.

Beans weren’t meant to be eaten, and are full of intentionally hard to digest chemicals and compounds. I’m pretty sure they cause digestive problems for everyone, it’s just that in some people it’s low enough that they don’t notice.
Also cruciferous veggies are high in FODMAPs which is prolly what’s triggering you

Random thought: I’ve consistently found caramelizing onions to be the litmus test of a good cook.
The shoddy cook will require extra sugar, supplemental water, constant stirring, and 1-3 hours to achieve proper results.
The true cook only needs an onion and 25-45 minutes.
This has also led me to deduce that most all YouTube chefs are hacks, as they all purport the former technique as the only way.

People are saying they don't have time to eat healthy and you're talking about 45 mins. Chop it in 4, throw it in the pot and do cardio/chores/reading while the stew is cooking.

My lazy/fast way of doing it is to just always start with the onions when frying anything. Once they go transculent I'll add the other ingredients and by the end they're pretty well done

I still eat it with anti-predator capsaicin in chili con carne and it's delicious

I got a bag of barley. It's a nice alternative to something like brown rice or pasta and healthier depending on the variety. It takes a little longer to cook, but if you don't want to wait it's also good and chewy when undercooked.

speaking of vegetable medleys; onion, celery and carrots. I love cooking these together it just smells so good. It makes up the veggy base of most of my pasta sauces
