In the early days of Lemmy you were only allowed to post about beans and if you strayed off topic Mothra would come get you.

Now we discuss all sorts of things, like beans.

Oh, and beans.

    Obv., brigading is completely wrong and evil and I would never support or countenance such a thing, and Epstein probably did it a lot, but over on that link there's a question about non American sodas.

    Just putting it out there.

    People will read it or not.

    People will react or not.

    We all have agency.

     

    Times are hard, the cost of living is rising, and so, like many people, I'm trying to cook cheaper meals for the family. I recently did the Piri-piri chicken wing, wedges and corn traybake from BBC Food.

    Wings are cheap, potatoes are cheap, and corn isn't crazy expensive. The limes were probably the most extravagent ingredient. Total price, probably £2-£3 per person.

    It was great, and the family all enjoyed it. To the point where it would go on the regular rotation even if we had suitcases full of cash stashed around the place!

    What are your best economical recipes that aren't just beans, chickpeas, and rice? Meals you actively looks forward to, rather than just a budget way of getting calories inside you?

    On my list for the coming week:

    • Carbonara
    • Sausage and mash with onion gravy
    • Chicken Quesadillas
    • Mac and Cheese with salad
    • Spicy black bean tacos
    • Stir-fried tofu
    • Slow cooker leek and potato soup

    I can supply recipes for any of these.
