Today I made vegetarian salisbury steaks using impossible patties, store bought broth, and fresh veggies and herbs (and some stuff I had laying around). I spent less than $15 total (costco, price per unit) on the ingredients. It took 2 hours of cooking.
Assuming a wage of $25/hr, lower than adequate but relatively high in service fields in the US (those who work enough that delivery is super tempting), my meal cost me $65 including my labor. That’s less than it’d cost for delivery of a similar meal, is higher quality than I could get for delivery, and I’ve got leftovers for tomorrow, which I wouldn’t get with delivery.
Delivery is a scam. Gig economy Based delivery doubly so.
I think we’re here at Lemmy because we’re not there — most of us I mean — following along with all the popular trends in the mainstream. And your dish sound fantastic. My challenge with impossible patties is that I get cramping if I eat them and I’m not sure why but they are startlingly convincing.
