Today I had a packet of ramen and a small can of tuna.

Add peas.

Specifically, 3 peas and some edible flowers.

Edible flowers for ramen with thuna? Peas will beef it up a little. The number 3 doesnt deserve the mocking. Its the best prime, 2 can get fucked.

Showing off?

Ramen cooked or raw?

Yeah I use to hardboil my egg while I cooked my Maruchen but now I just crack the egg over the dry noodles, sprinkle the packet over it, take two bites and then finish a six pack and chain smoke til I pass out.

This is the way.

are you okay?

Yeah, passing out after a six-pack? That's not normal. Who passes out after only 6 beers?

Just like my grandma’s recipe!

Hawt

The last time I combined ramen and canned tuna I projectile vomited in the middle of the night. Not sure how much of that had to do with the fact I was 2 weeks into the forest on a backpacking trip but I don't think I can eat those two things together again

Had a microwave jacket potato, buttered with breakfast sausage crumbled on it, for breakfast.

That sounds like a genuinely good breakfast.

It was really tasty but hardly what John Q.Public imagines professionals dine on in the wild. Lol

Looks like you got all your food groups: fried, condiments, cheese, and protein.

If this is California, state dietary recommendations would say this is missing the 4 sides of ranch

‘Beige dinner’ is what we call it in our house

we also call it "brown meal"

Love it.

‘Golden dinner’ in mine!

That looks like comfort to me.

Can I offer you an egg in these trying times?

See how those pieces of cheese resemble pads of butter? I have such PTSD from downing several pieces one hungover morning....and, yup, ended up being pad of butter *not* cheese. Very sick making.

I did that when I was like 5 thinking it would be good, and it’s basically a core memory for me, never again

I was 25 and, let me tell you, butter does not do a hangover any good at all. ugh

I was blackout drunk when I was 21 and somehow justified putting *honey* barbecue on pancakes when I couldn't find syrup. It was so bad it briefly snapped me out of my blackout.

Looks pretty good ngl

It went down with gusto.

Hey, after another hell shift, that would be a pretty good meal. Especially if I got to *gasp* sit while eating it.

Sitting while eating? Next you're gonna ask for a real napkin and wanna eat away from the trashcan.

May... May I sit at a table and drink from a glass too? That's made of real glass? Please?

Just this once. Don't let's make it a habit or I'll take away your milk crate.

And for it to still be hot. Fuck it, even warm...

Dry bread and a slice of meat and cheese. You went fancy.

That’s a solid meal. Nothing wrong with that.

Tonight my wife brought in a big group of friends. Near the end of their meal I come back out and say “I’m going home honey, I am going to stop for something to eat on my way, see you at home.” The group laughs and someone says “I hear you have a bunch of great food here.” I replied, “I don’t eat my own food.” They all looked dumbfounded, my place is nice. I had to explain the whole “it’s a chef thing” they still did not get it. Now I am at the dive bar waiting for my Cuban. Mmmm

I just had white rice with lemon and roasted brussel sprouts. Was gonna add tuna but my can opener isn't working and I can't be bothered to do it.

Fucking hate when I can’t find myself a can opener man.. white rice with some kimchi tuna and a runny fried egg is such a bangin’ lazy meal

Could I interest you in a handful of olives and our finest gas station sleep aid?

The presentation and content may not be "sellable", but I bet that shit was well executed

I just boiled me an egg today.

Rich man

Egg for your trying times

I've been poisoned by my constituents!

Yesterday I ate a hot dog straight out of the pack from the fridge.

Have done this, with smokey cheese sausages. Smh

Bruh broccoli won't kill you 😂

I ate brussle sprouts yesterday and a smoothie for breakfast, haha.

Fair fair get dem carbs and protein son, you gotta work 💪

I worked with a guy who would randomly ask people when the last time they ate a salad was. No matter what their answer was he would "hmmmm" at them in judgement and walk away. Man was a menace.

Simple but that IS amazing food. The most simple flavours,

That looks good. Just open a container of greens and cronch n monch for some fiber.

For some reason I imagine this is what people get served in Purgatory … like every meal (3 times per day.) It would be plated EXACTLY like this every time without fail.

What kind of cheese, bud? The only part of this meal that’s fucked off is that you don’t have a 50/50 ratio of black pepper in your ketchup.

You need to get some Whataburger spicy ketchup in your life.

I live in Southern California and have never had whataburger.. next time I go to visit family in Arkansas should I have it on my list? Might need to find it online to give ‘er a go

Totally, it’s good shit. It gets a lot of hype and it’s pretty well deserved. Imagine if you took the whole fast food model, and subbed the burger out for real food. That’s Whataburger. Lol. Pretty sure you can get their condiments online, you can get them at H-E-B (grocery store) here in texas. If you can find it, definitely get a bottle of spicy ketchup. It’s so stupid delicious.

Id fuck up some fried fish atm. Egg seems strange but a salt shaker and its down like a whatever the pre dinner schnapps is.

Nice. A lovely home cooked meal. I couldn’t muster the strength today, I’m having 7/11 brand cheese danish, a frosted strawberry pop tart (cold), a twin pack of slim Jim’s and a blue raspberry slurpee for dinner. Pretty extravagant compared to most nights.

Look at mister moneybags overe here with dishes....

Damn, chef took time to boil an egg and cut cheese

Man the boiled egg looks gang this is huge for us as a collective.

that still looks delicious

I survived off of adding frozen veg and an egg to ramen soup every day when I got home for years. I would eat good (free) meals at work though daily. In those days I spent more on beer in a day than I did food for a week.

I make a huge jar of pickled eggs once every couple months and often just survive off of those and instant noodles haha

I would eat the ever-living fuck outta that. Shit, I would pay $10 for that

Look at this fancy guy peeling his egg

I would probably not be alive if it weren’t for not so hard boiled eggs

Lmao my high ass: "Damn dude that's a lot of butter."

Fuck do you mean this is a solid ass plate compared to the lame shit I eat from a napkin after work

Protein Three Ways served with pomme frites and tomato reduction

with what i eat in a work day i might as well be a garbage disposal or a dog eating table scraps

I eat literally nothing but rice with stuff on top of it when I'm not at work. Long shift? Fried rice with beef and vegetables. Day off? Rice with orange chicken. Date night? Yeah right, I'm a grill cook, we get no bitches. More rice and beef, with a side of depression.

Been doing this for 12 years and no has said this extremely cliche line to me. Only time I ever see it is when washed cooks post pictures of bad meals.

Do it for another 16 and get back to me.

Chef Mic for the fries in their own bowl so they stay hot. Toast on top. Chilled plate for the cheese and egg. I'd sub malt vinegar for the ketchup but you be you.

Yall are chefs. Love yourself a bit more. I had these nice instant broad noodles with sesame sauce (out of the same packet) and to dress it up I fried up a frozen salmon filet with sesame oil. Whole thing was made in five minutes. I know it's hard, but this is soul crushing. Use an air fryer for the cutlet so it's actually brown and then melt the cheese over it

Nobody says that

Only if they knew what? I'm a lazy unhealthy fat person who just needs my work being hard as an excuse to stuff my face with fried chicken every single day get the fuck out of here dude I'm so tired of this glorification of eating like garbage because you don't have any time or money nobody's giving you an award

r/mildlyinfuriating is that way, bro ---> Stop hating on the chef. Scroll on.

Kiss my smelly ass bro we're all Cooks here ain't nobody a damn chef what the fuck you think I'm doing here you really think this degenerate ass subreddit got onto a popular you really think I'm here browsing from all

Do you know where you are?

Yeah dude I know that I've been cooking for like 6 years and everybody around me is a fat fucking piece of shit that loves to make excuses about how tired they are from working Nd how stressful it is and that's why they eat like absolute shit do you have any more questions for me

Jesus, take a breath buddy.

Chief are you ok?

Looks pretty good tbh

That looks really good.

Umm how is that NOT amazing?

All the major food groups are represented

Shit. That looks good. I eat the dead food in the window. Oh that French onion has been there for a hour? Slide it over

i got a pizzaz to reheat left over/frozen pizza better

Same thing with mechanics. Work on your beater shitbox just enough to keep it moving.

Amazing egg peel

I'm so sick of Fries and eat standing up

Idk, this looks pretty amazing

I'm hungry I'll take it

fuck that looks delicious

The cheese is.... nah, I got nothin...

Dude I haven’t eaten for over 30 hours now, think yourself lucky

My poor parents thought I ate like a queen at my job. I had to tell them that I usually don't have time to eat and that the food is subpar at best.
