Just because you're on a budget doesn't mean you can't make a mean dish! Can these friends make a decent dish under $15 without creating beef (pun intended) between them?

@@wastingtime9004 oh I am so sorry you had to endure that. Idk if you have or plan to have a family but I do hope you can turn that around for yourself now(if you haven't already). Food can be so interesting and fun. We didn't have much but food was one of the things we sort of invested in because it meant time together. Ofc back then all the stuff that's popular now (i.e. oxtail, crab, goat and certain cuts of lamb) were less popular and much much cheaper. I realize in hindsight that our diet was heavily influenced by the Caribbean. Lots of Haitian, Jamaican and even Cuban and Dominican dishes. Irish was a fun discovery.

@emilyprentice5581 10 месяцев назад

Queen and Kayline ain't ever struggled. Makeba has been through it. She's the only one that created a struggle meal and I appreciate how real it was. You're not trying to be fancy you're trying to survive. Therefore the goal is to be dirt cheap and to stretch. Makeba's did that. The sauce is the ketchup in your fridge, the beans are the cheapest form of protein, the plantain is cheap, filling and satisfying and the rice carries it. You still have money left over in case, and you can safely eat that meal all week till payday. The other two however were showing us $15 meals. She critiqued the way she did cause she knew that someone who struggled the way she did would have come a lot better if they had $15 to make one meal, for one person, for one day. Neither of them milked that money for what it's worth, talking bout chicken fillet, precut bell peppers and almond milk. Y'all better leave Makeba alone, she was spot on. $15 for one meal and you don't even have greens, wheel and come again.

A real struggle meal for those who know, is less than $10. I remember being broke and on my own in college. Lots of Alfredo, spaghetti and sauce, top ramen, and rice, beans, and plantain nights. And if I had it, I’d get a $5 pizza for Little Caesar’s. The first girl brought back memories. I don’t think the other 2 have “struggled”….

my struggle meal would probably be krelan. It's a perfect struggle meal and is also known as such because with only 1kg of flour you can feed 10 people without someone being hungry at the end. You basically mix bakingpowder, flour and water in a baking tray, bake it. then you take a fork and a knife and mush the 'bread' up and cover it in butter. You typically eat it with fresh or pickled vegetables, marmelade, honey, feta cheese and ajvar (a paprika based vegetable paste)

If you’re struggling you can eat more beans per price of meat. It’s common sense, the difference is the interpretation of budget meal. 15$ is not a budget meal, that’s just a meal, expensive too if you’re not using ingredients from home, like rice and beans.

I have to say that the first dish was actually much more a budget meal imo. They didn't use expensive seasonings(if any), probably the bare minimum amount of cooking oil and included a low cost protein (beans). I thought that they were on point with keeping it low and nutritious regardless if it was lacking flavor. I don't think $15 is a budget meal either. The first meal bought things that'll last a few days versus spending a whole $15 on a singular portion.
