/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I have no opinion on your thread topic

I'm eating week old leftovers as I type this

>>18564509
Not a bad idea when you're strapped for cash and time, really.

Impossible to live on your own and not eat leftovers for 2-5 days depending what you make.

I mean that particular dish would be totally fine and taste fine after a week… might cut it to 5 days just to play it safe but probably unnecessary

>>18564509
>he doesn't freeze his soups

>>18564557
Wrong.
>t. WFH Chad who has an apartment and cooks lunch and dinner every single day

Try and stop me bitch ass.

>>18564509
lol
damn poorfag don't even have a freezer

>>18564557
unless you spend an hour plus cooking everyday, which sucks
>>18564588
freezing food makes it taste like shit

>>18564509
keep crying pussy

>>18564572
Dinner is your leftovers from lunch then.

>>18564601
No. You literally can't make a single serving of certain things like chili, braised meats, and breads.

>>18564611
Yeah you can

I still meal prep and it's still the best way to live. Unless you're a little bitch who doesn't work out and have hobbies/ a social life that take up their free time, it's a necessity

>>18564557
most single people dont make enough food that they have leftovers for almost a weeks worth

the only left overs i have had in the past 13 years is stir fry or spaghetti which i eat either the next day OR the day after(basically 2 servings/meals worth)
everything else i make is eaten for that meal

Leftovers taste better than fresh food

>>18564611
oh yeah, I see what you mean
i meant specifically for single serving dishes, obviously shit like chili as a single person you just have to eat it for days

>>18564629
what do you eat then? i can think of shit like steak, salads, sandwiches. making most pastas or stir frys would be a pain to make one portion of, only one i can manage to do one portion is carbonara bc it doesn't reheat well and takes 15 minutes max.

>>18564610
WRONG

>>18564509
get fucked
i only cook giant batches of food and freeze the rest, it would be way to expensive to single batches of chili, stews and soups

>>18564651
sandwhiches, hotdogs, hamburgers, canned stuff

most things i make arent full meals like meat/starch/veggies when you were kids at home
most things that can be made in a pot or frying pan are usually single serve stuffs
i count leftovers as something big cooked that you have to reheat, not separately cook each day(like hotdogs for example)

most times i have to reheat something takes 5 minutes yet i can wash a pot or pan in half that time and then cook a new meal on them
i can cut down on dishes by cooking my meat and veggies at the same time in a frying pan too for many dishes and they can easily be enough for one meal
i dont home make chili or soups or something like that could be a multiday leftover thing

>>18564557
Or just don't cook insanely high portions and eat out. Which is fine. I don't want to eat leftovers for 2-5 days. Meal prep is for people who have given up on life or poor zoomies.

>>18564673
Based bug. Look at how the bug gets angry when you expose his habits

>>18564714
>based bug
are you sure you know what that means?

>>18564509
>Zoomers who don't know why "leftovers" used to have such a bad connotation
People who grew up in the depression and had kids would scrape uneaten food off of their plates and save it, it's why people didn't like leftovers. It didn't just used to be extra food, it was food that someone else touched/didn't eat

>>18564509
the same food for a week is more boring than gross if you store it properly. keep it to 3 days max

>>18564509
you cant make this thread and post an example that proves you wrong. stews and soups are perfect for meal prepping/storing.

>>18564880
>you cant make this thread
Already did and I see no issue
>>18564831

>>18564673
The (you) cries out when struck

>>18564509
Just make stuff that tastes better the longer it sits, like lasagna.

>>18564557
Make regular family size four portion meal, eat one, freeze two, eat the fourth at some point in the next week. Wa la.

>>18564601
>hour plus cooking everyday sucks
>on board dedicated to cooking

>>18564624
How do you make a roasted chicken without leftovers?
>inb4 I eat the whole chicken
Go on a diet.

>>18564509
I eat week old leftovers all the time.

>>18564509
I had a coworker who meal prepped chicken and broccoli every week. I finally went over to him and chastised him for it and said he has no soul eating food like that. The next few weeks the meal prep stopped and he even said he felt better.

>>18565014
faggot, that's literally the most healthy thing you can eat

>>18565014
God you're so cringe

>>18564601
>freezing food makes it taste like shit
it really depends on the foods.
Some dishes like soups or stews taste pretty much the same even after being stored in the freezer for months.
those are usually the dishes that makes sense to cook in bulk

>>18564945
Sometimes I just want to have the food part of "Food&Cooking"

>>18564509
Entirely a woman thing, just like keto. I've never met a man on keto or a man that was into meal prep. What is it about women that makes them slaves to fad diets?

>>18565014
and then everyone clapped

>>18565075
So you know like what, four people?
Every person I know into keto is a man and easily half the people that were into Atkins when it was a thing were men.
Do you even internet? Everyone of those ridiculous organ meat carnivore lifters is a man.
Think before you post. You don’t need to stick your hatred of women into every thread you read.

>>18564557
I always plan portions around having 2-3 days worth of food. Anything past that just starts to taste like crap.

>>18564557
Yeah, whenever your cooking for just one or two, its really not efficient to make small portions of meals. Best way to do it is make stuff that can be repurposed easily.
I can have roasted chicken one day, and chicken salad the next without any fatigue. Even if it stretches to a third day.

>>18564509
I took the week old leftovers in the freezer and placed it in the oven call the cops

>>18564509
meal PReP always looked disgusting
becomes even more disgusting when you imagine the sort of person reheating those leftovers at day 5 in the office

>>18564916
>the lousy b8er cries out in pain as he improperly uses memes

>>18564557
People who have trouble with basic activities of daily living are often insufferable type A yuppies living in their mortgaged house in the suburbs, working some bullshit job in the city, who spend 2 hours a day stuck in traffic.

You know I'm right. You know this is the reason it's "impossible" to them, although it may be more likely (given where we are) that they are actually the children of these pointless people who instead spend 10 hours a day watching YouTube videos of people playing video games.

I cook at least one meal for myself every day, and the rest is still wholefoods. I'm not even counting stuff that takes less than 10 minutes to prepare: A tin of baked beans, porridge, a banana and mango smoothie, whatever; hell, even a steak and a salad is about ten minutes.

Beyond that:

And I walk my dog and go to the gym twice a day (though I'm likely to sleep in and skip the gym on the weekend)

Your bullshit excuses are exactly that.

>>18564509
I still meal prep my lunches. I cook four steaks on Sunday, cut em up and put them in a bowl with lime juice or vinegar to give them a little zip. Also a dozen soft boiled eggs.

make a few different batches of food kept in the freezr so youre not eating the same shit all week.

anyways this is for people with no free time, fucking losers

So why does cooking in bulk make autists piss and shit themselves in rage here?

>>18565321
Its bug like and cattle like to eat leftovers the whole week

>>18565334
mmm bugs

>>18564509
>He doesn't meal prep two or three different smaller things for variety
Imagine being a retard.

You guys eat leftovers older than 3 days? I can't imagine reheating and eating something a whole week later unless it was frozen.

>>18564557
3 days is the absolute limit, and not for everything. Something like fish and cooked veggies must be eaten the following day.
Rare beef must be eaten or cooked through for the next day.
Pork, cooked beef and chicken are good for 3 days.
The only exception is soup which has boiled with all of its ingredients for at least 10 minutes. That can last up to 5 days, even if it contains fish.

That's IT

>>18565398
I don't meal prep at all my wife cooks for me you absolute bug

>>18564509
im literally going to roast a whole chicken and then use half w/ sausage and shrimp to make a giant fucking batch of gump and then freeze it all and eat motherfucking gumbo every night like a princely sort of man. :D

>>18565420
>He doesn't cook for the sheer enjoyment of making something.
>Calls others bugs
What a projecting faggot.

>>18564557
It's hard to make small portions you're right. Chicken broth is a solid choice that gives you broth for various soups at least. Chicken goes pretty well in chicken salad sandwiches. Another very solid choice is just smoked meat like barbacoa/pulled pork.

basically just don't make goulash diarrhea slop so often

>>18565222
Describe your daily schedule pls.

I just don't eat lunch and make 2+ portions of whatever for dinner. No leftovers 80% of the time, I have to go out of my way to make enough food that I can't finish it within 24 hours of cooking it. What retard thinks it's harder to make less food when most of the time is spent on prep anyway?

You're all too unsophisticated to spend 30 minutes every day cooking shit instead of just reheating what you already made in 5 minutes.
Only a true artisté such as myself could make some fresh sloppa every single night when I could be doing literally anything else.
>but why would you spend all that time?
Because old food is icky and it makes my tummy sad

>>18565532
Cope

I often make food that I won't finish for 4-5 days, am I supposed to make mini quiches?

Most food doesn't go bad in the freezer. Not sure what you're talking about.

>>18564557
zoomers unironically spend $50 a night on ubereats and wonder why they cant afford a freezer

>>18564601
>an hour plus cooking
meat n 3veg and pasta take 10min to cook, 9min of which is spent watching tv, sipping beer or playing vidya anyway

>>18564908
i am going to beat you up, thats the issue pal.

>>18565545
4-5 days to eat a single quiche? That's a dinner and breakfast right there.

>>18565222
>and go to the gym twice a day
Once to work out, what's the second time for? Gay sex?

I cook Monday evening and whatever I make lasts me until Thur or Fri. Breakfast is granola and yogurt. Lunch is crackers & cheese, salami, or skipped. Sat is something prepared by the grocery store, Sun is grocery store item #2 or eating out. I drink water and tea and the only snack I have is a bag of carrots every so often

>>18564651
You just suck at cooking

>>18564629
>have had in the past 13 years
Little old to be here aye grandpa?

>>18564557
i eat whole food plant based so my big portions of things are still one serving

>>18565485
>basically just don't make goulash diarrhea slop so often
But goulash is the best ragout you can eat 3 days straight. Just replace the side dish every day as goulash goes well with potatoes, noodles, rice etc.

>>18565091
Go back

There is nothing wrong with leftovers and that doesnt need to mean eating the same thing everyday. Just be smart and cook the expensive bulk items separate.
You could grill a bunch of chicken one night and have a piece with some grille squash (cheap and easy). The next day buffalo chicken wrap for lunch. Dinner: Chicken and vegetable stir fry with some rice in the rice cooker bam. Next day, chicken salad lunch. Dinner green chili chicken burritos or some shit. Add some tomato and chili powder to the leftover rice from yesterday and bam another side. It's literally that easy if you keep a stock of basic ingredients and aren't a cooklet.

>>18566520
Sounds gross as fuck and you just confirmed it by posting your shitty paper plate lmao. Why is everyone who 'meal preps' such a stereotypical bug?

>>18564509
>week old leftovers was good?
I eat meals out of the same recipe for two-three weeks easy.

>>18564509
explain how it is "gross".
ever heard of a freezer?
leftovers are great. even months later. it's like finding a christmas present you missed.

>>18564601
>freezing food makes it taste like shit
no, making food cold imparts no flavor.

>>18564509
i agree, also refrigeration, really?

>>18564844
no leftovers never meant this, and even if it did, this would only mean something to a generation that has died off completely.

>>18564509
u are suppose to put it in the freezer....

>>18565014
the end

>>18565075
I would purposely make multiple large meals like enchiladas, chili (no beans of course), burritos, lasagna, beef or pork with mashed potatoes and gravy, and many other meals then divide them up and freeze them for work lunches. save a ton of time and money and I am a dude.

>>18566718
You sound poor and lonely

>>18565334
bug like?
cattle like?
could you actually make sense. what kind of delusional maniacal nut case are you.
making food to be eaten later is what humans have been doing for hundreds of thousands of years.

>>18565420
>my wife
I do all the cooking in my house because I cook better and like my food cooked my way. my wife will eat almost anything. how does it feel to be a mommas boy?

>>18565411
>>18565419
I eat refrigerated leftovers for 6 days out 7. I've never seen the food go bad or taste bad. You just never did it so stop talking. Or you are normalfags who have a girl cook for you so you don't get it.

>>18566721
nope rich and married. the place I used to work (I am retired) had no decent places nearby to eat.

my choices were the terrible cafeteria, or walk over to the capitol and go through security just to eat at a subway or some chinese restaurant, or a 15 minute drive to wait in line at a busy lunch rush filled restaurant.

or I enjoy a quite meal at my desk watching youtube.

>>18566694
I can my own soup, meats, and veggies instead of freeze 1/2 the time & it lasts a year or two just like that
>I can't stand frozen soup/, it just has a weird taste after

>>18565321
Mental retardation t b f
It's preventing them from wrapping their tiny head around the fundamental concept that any prepackaged, precooked, preprepared, canned/jarred, dehydrated, sealed or preserved item of shit they buy form the store is actually something that can be considered leftovers in some shape, degree, or form.
>If you slapped a brand label & a sell by date on your vacuum sealed meat/jars/cans/ziplock bags they wouldn't be able to tell the difference
>its stupid yuppies & pseudo-intellegent cityfag shit


>>18566726
that faggot has never heard of any kind of preservation other than frozen/canned & never had any food not from a store, they ain't worth your time friend.

>>18564509
lol I regularly meal prep and its fine. Arguably most things I make are better after sitting for a day or a few. Tacos are best with fresh but even veggies will keep for a week fine.
I know you don't shop and cook every single day so enjoy your diabetes from all the slop you order.

but you don't even have the mental capability of understanding why some antibiotic farmed chicken pumped full of brine and sold for 4.99 isn't fucking good for you just because MUH PROTEIN
fucking end your goddamn life you fucking moron using buzzwords you don't even fucking understand

"meal prep" is fine. the bizarre "meal prep" "community" is what's strange. also leftovers are generally disgusting after day 3. you're supposed to freeze any meals that won't be eaten in 2 or 3 days and thaw them the night before you intend to eat them.

back in my day we just called it cooking.

>>18567273
>If you criticize my low quality factory farmed food then you are a shill/vegan/nigger/etc.

It's sad, isn't it? Zoomers.

>>18567273
I used the word correctly. You did not. Because you're a vegan nigger shill. It's a chicken you mongoloid.

>why some antibiotic farmed chicken pumped full of brine and sold for 4.99 isn't fucking good for you
Brine is water and salt. The price isn't related to the nutritional value lmao. You keep saying antibiotics. Which antibiotics? Why are they bad? Faggot.

>>18564509
i dont meal prep but i eat week old leftovers all the time

Man, everyone in this thread who is against meal prep is so retarded it hurts.
You are all either lying or making shit up, strawmanning off of your limited shitty experiences reflective of your shitty cooking skills, or have genuinely tried it but are too retarded to figure out what reheats good and what doesn't.

no matter how tasty the food is, how do you not get sick eating the same meal every day for like a week?

imagine having crab legs everyday i think I'll vomit

>>18567396
>>18567396
For a human yes, people who meal prep aren't human. They are cattle

>>18567396

>>18567451
>>18567459
WFH is a chad if he travels around not renting. I've met him

>>18567396
There are very obvious and easy ways to avoid this which have been already pointed out in the thread.
>meal prep one part of the meal, serve over different food like mashed potatoes vs rice
>meal prep multiple meals
>cook one meal, eat left overs another
>have different sides with each meal (baked potatoes, salad, pasta, bread, ect.)
>>18567403
You are weak minded if you can't stand eating a meal three days in a row, especially if you punctuate it with different snacks/a different meal throughout the day. Either that, or your cooking sucks so much eating that often is unbearable. Maybe it is even a mix of the two? And you call other people cattle for, of all things, being more efficient with their time and effort.

>>18564509
>meal prepper

>>18566733
>I eat refrigerated leftovers for 6 days out 7. I've never seen the food go bad or taste bad. You just never did it
Your fridge isn't magic, you're eating gross shit but you're just fine with it. I would do it too if food didn't become gross after more than a couple of days, why do you think we do it anyway? We like the convenience of having food in the fridge, we just know what happens after a couple of days.

>>18567459
Chad socializes with friends and fucks while "working" from home. The virgin officecuck "socializes" by being reprimanded by his (woman) boss.

>>18564509
>fad
People have being doing this forever and will keep doing it for a long time.

The real meal prep is modular meal prep. Cooking up ground beef and adding it to pasta, tacos, and other dishes escaping me at the moment or cooking some chicken breast and shredding it up to throw in salads, tacos, or other dishes. You have that shit on deck then all you need to do is something simple like chop and sauté veggies, boil pasta, open a can of beans, etc...

Also pork chops can be broiled in like 5 minutes. Put a sweet potato in the oven (or microwave if you're really in a rush), pop open a can of green beans, get some apple sauce and you've got a great meal with minimal effort.

I'm busy as fuck and eating during the week is easy as fuck if you're not retarded about shopping and cooking. Having some pre-made seasoning mixes like pic related is key. Also remembering to prep meats with a marinade. If I'm cooking chicken or pork tenderloin you already know‐jo it's going in mojo.

>>18569199
Somebody does the cooking, that's the point you petty cunt

I mean, do you know that if you go a restaurant and eat something like bolognese, bourguignon, lasagna or other dish that takes a long time to prepare, it was frozen? Even mom and pop stores do this, they can't cook it everyday. When it says 'allow 20 minutes to prepare' its normally because they bake it from frozen and it takes a while to heat up. Restaurants have been meal prepping forever.

>>18564509
Soups are fine for meal prep.
Beef stew, goulash, lentil soup, bean soup, bisques, paprikash... just pour them steaming hot into glass containers and seal them. Refrigerate after a few hrs.

Reheat and enjoy.

>>18569192
I used to get these all the time, but they've gotten rather expensive. Nowadays, I just grind up chicken breast and thighs to make my own nuggies. I chuck those in the freezer.

>>18564509
It did? This is what I've been doing for years, and I know coworkers who do it as well. It's just plain efficient to make a large meal at the beginning of the week and then eat it for the rest of the week.

You won't die from it unless you heat up the whole pot again and again. Just take out a portion and heat it up separately.

That anon is retarded and possibly even gay. The 3 day fridge rule is not about getting sick, it's about the quality of the food. Anything that isn't soup will become nasty and slimy from the slight decomposition. It won't make you sick but it's still gross to eat.

>>18569421
>i LITERALLY cannot spare 1 hour of my life to cook.
So what are you so busy with anon? Do you work 16 hour shifts? Lmao

>>18569421
I dont time that shit but boiling noodles is 10min, and cooking the mince takes like 5 minutes then add the tomato sauce or whatever and reduce until its done (depends on how much you want to do, can take up to like 20min if you really want)

>>18569424
did I say anything about that? I'm just busting the bullshit about making spaghetti in minutes. You're in the wrong conversation

>>18569425
so what you're saying is that I can spend 20 minutes making a single serving of shit bolognese, or I can spend hours making a great batch and then freeze it for later

>>18569427
You can easily make spaghetti in minutes. You just chose the longest possible recipe you could think of, because you're gay.

>>18569430
>hours
What fucking recipe of bolognese takes hours ?
its fucking mine and noodles

>>18569423
Everything becomes more flavourful after 3 days though. Stews taste better every time you heat them up.

>>18569432
are you familiar with the concept of "simmering" for reduction and flavour?

>>18569439
I literally mentioned it in the previous post, depending on how long you want to do it, but its doesn't take anywhere near multiple hours, how much fucking sauce are you reducing or at what low heat that it takes fucking hours ???

>>18569441
I guarantee if you google "bolognese recipe" right now it'll be at least 2-3 hours

>>18569432
>>18569441
Have you ever made tomato sauce anon? That shit takes 45 minutes at the barest minimum to actually become decent, and you can double that if you want something that's actually good.

>>18569441
youve never made tomato sauce have you

>>18569444
>>18569443
please stop clowning, nobody is falling for it, entire thread is about single men not being able to make fucking food daily, now you niggers are adding "but you're not making muh 10 hour sauce so its literally not bolognese !!!" criteria, if you want to make it and have limited time you can do it under an hour easily

enjoy your 20-minute tomato meat slop

>>18569450

>eating week old leftovers was good?
What is a fridge/freezer?

Chili is best when it's a week old. Same with cabbage rolls. I literally make these a few days in advance.

>>18569423
The reason something tastes bad after a week is bateria
Veggies i can see.
But cooked meat (that has fat), stews etc 3 days is the 100% guarantee that you will never get sick, whilst also retaining flavour. This is in a standard container.
Once you approach a week sure you can eat it, but the odds that you sick are only increasing the more you leave it.
>leaving something out on the stove for 3 days
Yeah you could do this.
But you also start getting insects and rodents in your kitchen
Plus again, you playing the odds every time you eat it.

>i'm 100 years old and i'm fine
Lucky, 3rd worlder or good immune genetics.
Most people eventually poison themselves and improve their hygiene and food preservation knowledge.
You can also be a 40 year old retard who never learns

None of these are real things that actually exist, just made up pseudo-science.

>>18568745
They aren't memes. They are from a local spice shop and good as fuck. They were also gifts from my mother because she loves me and supports my well-being, but you probably know just as much about that as you do cooking. Post spices.

Good call.

Also, why is Aleppo pepper so fucking good?

reddit post of the year

>>18566694
I agree with peter falk and kermit, covid happened and I had to move back in with my mtv/post boomer dad and gen x mom 2.5 years back.

Both work jobs hard(Got to save for that retirment, lower mid class types).

All you need is a standing freezer(An old school toyota from 91), I would cook with both of them only twice a week we froze everything, and just like anon said even made whole roasts of meat, chicken, lamb or fish/seafood.

Truly christmas season was an amazing find of presents, all the well flavored snap frozen foods(we only cooked on christmas even and new year)

is there anything with making a large batch of marinade and slowly cooking it and eating throughout the week?

>>18565222
and yet you hang out in the armpit of the internet.

>>18564557
My fatass always eats the leftovers the next day.
>this gone go bad if I leave it in there for another 30 minutes

>plastic containers
>not glass

I'll keep meat in my fridge for up to two weeks.

But I also smoke and brine practically everything meat that I cook, and I cook several cuts at a time.
I'll have chicken one day, ribs another day, salmon the next day, followed by some meatloaf. And all of it will be from the same smoke session.

>>18564557
This. OP is a fat retarded dude living in his moms garage.

I feel like it's inevitable to eat lots of leftovers if you're single, unless you want to cook every fucking day for some reason. I usually cook 4-5 portions simply because whatever meat I buy comes in packages of 400-600g usually.
Sure I could autistically freeze it and autistically and autistically unfreeze 100g every time I make one (1) portion but since I'm not FUCKING autistic, why the fuck would I do that instead of cooking once with fresh ingredients and having enough meal to last for most of the week?

I can agree "meat preppers" take it too far though, on top of that I fucking hate that term, just say leftovers you disingenuous fucking reddit rats, call it what is is. Also, what's with their fucking obsession with 5 million plastic containers? Why the fuck do they need to separate it while storing, do they not use plates? Fucking weirdos.

Some things taste better when they're put in the fridge for a night or two. Curries for example.

>>18569192
>Buy a Cornish Hen
>double the cost per pound of a regular chicken
Paying more for less stuff, that's definitely something you wanna do when you're single...

Wtf was the rationale for this. It takes 10 minutes to make a simple pasta and sauce. Less if you use store-bought sauce.

>>18564955
Eat the whole chicken

>>18567816
>soup can last for a week in the fridge
>raw meat can last for a week in the fridge
>vegetables can last for a week in the fridge
>somehow cooking all these makes them last less

Is OP a corpo shill? We already had flash frozen food since forever.

>>18564934
Voilà, become cultured.

>>18565014
Very cool anon, now go post it on r/wholesome

Anyone else not really liking leftovers because they genuinely like cooking?

Only thing I freeze is things I can't whip up at the spot, so mainly stock and occasionally a stew.

>>18571362
That's a musical instrument anon.

>>18571362
You're getting memed, son

>>18564509
meal prep is the worst thing you can do to yourself and your own psyche. The human body was not made to eat the same slop over and over again for days on end
>But... muh time!!!
Literally takes 15-30 minutes TOPS to make a nice daily nutritious meal.
>Not tru, potroast lasts 2 hours
Then do something for those two hours

>>18571909
>The human body was not made to eat the same slop over and over again for days on end
I don't think you actually know anything about human survival.

>>18564509
I made a pot of goulash today. I'll freeze a bunch and have it for meals over the next 6 months.

>>18565222
Hope you can find a better route of dopamine release on the internet because I'm better than you in almost all aspects and I know you're lying. Bait, or please better yourself as a human being, or an hero.

He's a lying fuck. No one but one in 2.5×10^7 actually do that. You're dumb for even giving it a thought.

Its a great litmus test to identify npc's, if they cook every day just for themselves, they have no inner monologue or foresight ability.

guy at work said he made some kind of pasta slob with 6 liter pot, he made it week ago and that still left for next week to eat at work
he didn't freeze any of it, just keeps it in fridge

>>18565222
That's a big brag.

Do American fridges not run as cold as European ones? I don't think I've ever had anything go bad.

Yes OP. You're such a cool contrarian

>>18565222

You forgot to mention

>weapons-grade faggot

I feel like that important bit was left out

>Cook pot of 'merican goulash as dinner for self and dad.
>We both finish the leftovers for lunch the next day.
I don't understand leftovers for more than 3 days unless you're not eating or making other foods to stretch how long the leftovers last.

>>18571212
>>soup can last for a week in the fridge
Yes
>>raw meat can last for a week in the fridge
wtf no, don't do this.
>>vegetables can last for a week in the fridge
Yes
>>somehow cooking all these makes them last less
Yes, for vegetables. Cooked vegetables lose their structural rigidity, their internal turgor pressure, and their biological functions that still maintain them for some time after harvesting.

>complete stranger freezes extra food to eat later
>have mental breakdown and argue with different strangers for hours about it

>>18564572
same mate, I work from home and cook nearly every day, I have a gf to feed as well, so she eats the leftovers, thus she will do the laundry and other house work crap I dislike
the trick to disposing of leftovers is a stable family
can't wait to get some kids so I can cook more often without feeling bad for throwing it out at times

>>18574624
for you

>>18574601
I do the same sometimes and have never once gotten sick. Lucky I guess.

>>18568227

>>18569199
Sorry that you have to eat that stuff anon.
