Maybe, but this should be less work for mods considering we're gonna be doing this every month. Don't want to drag someone over to add/remove a poll over and over forever e: fixed OP to include links to the recipe posts. It should be noted that Bird with big dick's post is the only one with a post ID ending in 69 Doc Walrus has issued a correction as of 00:06 on Jan 22, 2019 |

I'm assuming we can't vote for our own? In which case I'm voting twoday, because that sort of thrift and utility is something that is the uppermost of anything I'll ever respect about cooking As a proud proletarian and hobo cooker, I'm sure they're not terribly surprised at this vote of confidence, though I tend to bag and stock my scraps at the time (using excess stock creatively rather than using excess stock to use things creatively) in an opposite manner to them an 8qt crock post is just aces

Also assuming we can't vote for our own, I vote for either Epic High Five or Twoday. If forced to pick one, Epic High Five. I'm big on calories/dollar, so I like the ones that are 1800 calories+, basically, but I think the quesadillas would kill you pretty quickly. But Twoday did the quick pickles on the beet stems and the homemade ricotta trick which is pretty cool.

twoday's recipe is really cool but I had to give it to crakkerjakk because all three parts of their entry were creative and they got a ton of food in. I liked EHF's entry for the same reason.

Crakkerjack's was extremely good but I felt it involved too many ingredients to be really properly a proletarian feast like I had interpreted this challenge to be

Yeah, I was explicitly going for variety. Trying to avoid the vegan stereotype of a giant fuckoff pile of rice and beans. (Though that would have been cheaper/more calories.). But still be enough to eat for a day.

Chicken is cheap and this was the cheap challenge. So I made and tried the quesadillas and I liked them. They were simple enough that I memorized the recipe and I am almost certain to make them again in not too long. And that's very good and there is certainly value in that transferability in the proletarian challenge. Duscat's stuff seems like it would be tasty but the writeups are not the most informative. Black fried rice owns, but it's definitely the sort of thing I would make myself so I felt more drawn towards the unfamiliar recipes. Bird with a big dick, I see what you were going for and I thought of doing the same thing, but I decided against it. It is important and a worthwhile point that you can have nice ingredients even within a budget, but as a whole the recipe is impractical and reminds me of going to a restaurant where all the dishes are smaller than you expected. The noodles were probably the most complex coherent dish, and I want to try making it. It makes me want to eat spam, which is impressive. However, my instinct leans me most towards Crakkerjakk and EHF, because they took similar approaches to me, to show off random tricks and hacks, and try to have a maximum diversity of ingredients and final products despite the budgetary constraints. Between these two I chose EHF because there was more unfamiliar stuff in that recipe, so I feel like I learned more from it. And I love learning poo poo. Overall I am happy with the outcome of this. I love cooking and I love c spam, and so far it's been two great tastes that taste great together

Voting quesadillas, with a stray longing toward bachelor chow. Looking forward to someone else suggesting a challenge, so I can jump in withou suspicion of pushing the one I'm good at.

Willie's quesadillas get an honorable mention for being super cheap and tasty looking, but I voted for twoday's recipe because I love me some beets and it looks less likely to give me a heart attack when I get around to trying it. Looking at all the entries my presentation was shamefully half-assed and I will strive to do better in future challenges.

I must admit the pickled beet stems were better when I tried them a few days later but they weren't the best thing to quick pickle, and overall they are better sautéd with the greens and garlic.

twoday posted:The cornbread was the deciding factor for me as well, gotta try it it's not really a thing that's formally established, but generally speaking corn dodgers and corn pone are when they're formed into balls or patties and fat fried (hush puppies also fall under this designation), which is why for my own recipe there I differentiated it from those because baking as a thin sheet and cutting into portions isn't how it usually goes with the dish If you're going to fry it, it works well with a neutral fat like lard, but really shines with bacon grease as you may imagine. Cooking some up for the fat to fry and putting diced bacon in with the recipe is a solid choice

Speaking of bread, one future challenge we should definitely do is baking bread.

It's normally meant for stuff like tortillas and tamales

It was pretty tasty, but be sure to get LITE spam or else it'll be too salty. Seared spam is entirely different from straight-out-the-can spam both in taste and texture and I really like it. I'm thinking of making a spam bahn mi sometime soon with a similar sear+sauce technique.

Back when I ate meat I used to really love that seared spam sushi from Hawaii. Musubi? Perfect amount of carbon and salt to balance the much lighter flavor of the rice.

Yeah, Musubi is the Goku of the spam universe. Every other good spam dish is pretty much "Musubi, except..." Spam scotch eggs.... hmm...

I was prepared at the start to lose to twoday because his entry is both more creative and more starkly utilitarian than mine, both of which were the primary themes of the contest that said I still want to win even if I'm not qualified to do so
