A full loaf of bread, top cut off and hollowed out, filled with miscellaneous meats - sausages and bacon mostly I think, then put in the oven for something like an hour. Might try this.

A little late to the discussion but a gentle reminder that the marine ecological cascade, desertification, fires, ecocide, peak fertiliser, climate change, etc, mean that the carrying capacity of the planet is dwindling, and that even at a lower quartile of global consumption we won't be able to sustain numbers. we are already well within the fastest extinction event in history (we're more destructive than a meteor) eating the rich/addressing consumption is the best mitigation for now, but unless we are able to completely change our entire food habits, agricultural systems and end fishing within a decade and also rewild about half the planet then yeah we have a problem.

Student cooking chat: Absolutely baffled me the number of people at College who's entire culinary skills were 'put something frozen under the grill for a while', but then again I'd been learning how to cook since I was about 14, as it was either that or be hungry til 8pm when my parents got back from work and couldn't be arsed making food until after sitting down for an hour with a cuppa etc. Bologneses/Stir fry's are the world's easiest poo poo to do, if I could be bothered doing better than 'put something frozen under the grill for a while.' Mate made me laugh when he'd shifted from student digs into a house, had food but no oil for the pan. Frozen chicken burgers do not do well using only water instead of oil it would seem. Saying that I went round the place later in the year and he looked like poo poo, mainly because he'd been eating nothing but an industrial size pack of wafer thin ham & a bag of crappy frozen veg every single meal for 10 days, while waiting on some money coming through. We went & got fish & chips.

To be fair my cooking ability hasn't advanced much from my late teens, most of my cooking involves some vegetables with some meat and some soy sauce and serving over rice i have got much better with omelettes but that was from accidentally putting the egg mix in when the oil wasn't quite hot enough and then realising that gives a better overall cook and makes it dead easy to flip

Student cooking fiascos not including my own: - Guy who spent his entire first year cooking nothing but a rustlers burger every day, only variety he got was from the kebab shop - Inexplicably skinny guy who just grated cheddar and melted it with pasta 90% of the time. Had the worst farts imaginable. I foolishly as it turned out went on a date to pizza express once and he mocked me as this was 'fine dining'. - Singaporean guy who found the entire concept of egg cups so funny he was near enough rolling around on the floor when I made a soft boiled egg. He also used to make otherwise ok looking noodle heavy meals but would just chop up tesco value ham and toss it in? - Lady I'm somehow still in a relationship with a decade later coming into the kitchen while I'm cooking, after I've just emptied a jar of pasta sauce into a pan, complaining that I'm 'wasting' the remaining dregs left in the jar, and proceeding to fill it with tap water, shake it up, and pour the whole thing in completely off her own back. - Impossibly glamourous French woman who had never had porridge, got right into it and was eating 3+ bowls a day, nearly had a heart attack when she discovered the calorie content. - Guy who had never cooked before in his life who just tossed a whole potato in the oven with zero prep and caused a minor explosion. Somehow became the best chef in the house within a few months. I guess it's kind of cooking???: - Mystery pooper who pranked his entire corridor by making GBS threads on a baking tray, throwing it in the oven, then vanishing. I wasn't there but apparently a bunch of them came home after the pub to find the aromas of a very burnt turd wafting around the whole floor. - some tory maniac bit the head off a live pigeon for some reason but honestly at this point that just seems par for the course

Tomato pasta, "Quesadillas", Stir fry and Noodle soup were pretty much my cooking knowledge at Uni. I was really uncertain about cooking rice so I just avoided doing it as much as possible, and the oven was filthy with thick black grease from the previous tenants (that we had to clean out to get the deposit returned, the cheeky bastards) so every meal was done on the hob. It went pretty well, considering. Major food gently caress ups I can remember was burning spaghetti while I was busy chatting and making a prawn thai red curry from a jar. I forgot coconut milk so I thought I'd try sweetening regular milk with sugar- except I also forgot to do that before adding the milk so I sprinkled sugar on top. Wouldn't recommend.

You can actually make some really tasty (but I guess bad for you) meals with noodles and just random bits of meat. We used to make loving amazing udon noodle + spam + egg meals when we were at uni that cost like, sub £1 per meal.

ThomasPaine posted:Student cooking fiascos not including my own: Yeesh. There's also the guy in a house share who was a Russian student (I wasn't by then) who would spend 1.5hrs every night, starting just as I got home, using every available pan & source of heat in the kitchen making 3 chicken kievs, 2 pans full of some cabbage concoction that smelt like old farts and microwaving a baked potato forever, then slobbering his way through it like it's chowtime at the trough in the tiny living room. Which of course the kitchen was also part of. loving did my head in. One of the girls I'm still mates with now from college put two eggs on to boil & went out, totally forgetting about them (no idea how you do that, I knew someone who did that with a running bath & managed to destroy the bathroom floor/living room ceiling). No harm came of it as a housemate came in & shut it off before it could burn the place down but 6 months later you could still smell this disgusting weird tortured metal/eggshell smell in the kitchen. Probably best I learned to cook when I did too, as much as I love my Mum, her specialty was spaghetti bolognese, and by that I mean mince & onions fried to a crisp with a tin of chopped tomatoes/baked beans chucked in, possibly some bell peppers with barely drained spaghetti. For some reason she likes her steak well done too, and like a noob up till the age of about 25 I thought that's how it should come. Took an ex in a restaurant turning round and saying to the waiter 'like gently caress he's having it well done, 2 mediums please' and my tastebuds thank her to this day. Been to London restaurants the last few years with my Mum & told her to get something else instead of steak as they're either going to laugh at us or refuse to do it well done. My girlfriends family are Portuguese, so I've picked up a load of how to do that the last 3 years too, it's simple stuff & mad tasty, as long as you've got time to prep the day before.

But also try pasta of choice with your usuals + red pepper flakes, I feel like Sardines go well with spice but I don't know why that would be I'm not Lloyd Grossman. Maybe they are in fact bad and wrong together.

Alternatively you can add them to pasta with a fried slice tomato and a bit of lemon, or on a salad, maybe a jacket potato. I mostly eat them whilst camping, tasty but can get a bit messy carrying the empty tins about.

Weirdly everyone I lived with at uni was okay at cooking from what I remember. From our first week in halls we made a rule that once a week one person would cook for the whole flat and we ended up staying together in digs. Even did a roast for Christmas and everything. Only guy not included was the bloke from Accrington who lived off horrifying kebabs and disappeared after the Christmas holidays. I did have a flatmate after uni who would eat frozen sweetcorn as a snack.

And if you do put too much water in just simmer it for a bit till it boils off? E: should refresh before posting but this was a response to Thomas Paine EE: a pipe smoking dog posted:I did have a flatmate after uni who would eat frozen sweetcorn as a snack. This is me, also frozen peas. If I'm just cooking myself a frozen pie or something I generally don't even bother cooking the peas&swees, serve them frozen and they balance out the heat of the pie to make a perfect eating temperature straight away.

Kind of interesting, not that I think Labour would take any notice because the party is so loving terrible at everything in Scotland.

Oh god I lived in a house share 2nd year uni and two of the people in the house were "the couple" and decided that they were "mummy and daddy of the house" and tried to make us take it in turns to do a full sunday roast. Stuff that. My boyfriend wasn't a student and did shift work. I wasn't spending Sundays when he wasn't working making a Sunday Roast. We went to the local pie, chips and kebab shop. I have zero interest in 'shared cooking' to this day. Leave me out of all that. Until my parents got a dishwasher mid-late90s, if I went home for Xmas, I stayed right out of any food prep activities, but after Xmas dinner, I would barricade myself in the kitchen with a heap of heavy metal cassettes while the family (all my siblings and a handful of very young nephews and nieces) would fight and squabble in the lounge over what was on TV (dad always wanted the 5 hour opera of Tosca on BBC2, mum always wanted James Bond, the kids always wanted cartoons) etc. and placidly do all the washing up. Once they got the dishwasher, I quit doing Xmas (have done more than 25 Xmasses now in solitary except for the 16/17 years I had my kitties.) ED: When I was a teen, I would be first home from school and expected to get a meal for 6 ready every night with bugger all ingredients because the folks NEVER had anything in.
