That actually made me tear up a bit. Solid shit.

I didn't realize how much of my childhood was struggle meals until I thought about it as an adult. Lots of buttered noodles with salt/pepper, a ton of canned fruit/veg (free thanks to my grandpa working at a canning plant), and when we had the money to splurge on meat, Mom would make a pork roast with potatoes and onions. I have fond memories of the scent of the roast simmering in a cast iron pot all day, and then you could use the leftovers with some BBQ sauce (sparingly!) on plain white bread for a poor man's pulled pork. Every couple of years I buy a pork roast just to remind myself of home and how far I've come.

It kinda lessens the blow when most of your national dishes are "struggle meals". People didn't have too much to choose from when we were kinda forming our national identity 110 years or so ago. Like the absolute peak dish is this nonsense called "karelian roast" where you take all the bad and chewy bits of a pork, put it in a pot with onions and if you can afford them carrots, then cover them with water, and put in oven until it's all grey mush.

The chicken bouillon that was used for the popcorn chicken is a powder. Meaning you can sprinkle it on without making your popcorn soggy. What you used is chicken base, a chicken concentrate meant to be used to make stock but with flavor closer to freshly made chicken stock. It’s not the same and, while I don’t want to try either, I’m almost 100% certain that would have both tasted and looked better if you had used the powder.

Chicken powder on popcorn reminded me of when my brother and I were little and we used to sneak packs of ramen out of the house when we were hungry but didn’t want to go home yet. Lunch would then become, crushed dry ramen, in the bag, with the seasoning powder mixed in. Pretty good snack. 😂

Apparently I did struggle meals wrong. In college I started off the month buying a big bag of rice and then would buy meat whenever it was on sale or on clearance. Then spend some money on garlic salt, pepper, soy sauce, and ginger and then went wild with whatever other ingredients were on sale. 5lb of rice 8.98 Garlic salt 4.78 Black pepper 3.77 Ground ginger 2.24 Soy sauce 3.58 Vegetable oil 3.84 Total 27.19 for all the seasons and rice which will last a while. I usually got a few weeks out of the rice and only needed new seasonings every 3-4 months depending on how liberal I was with them. Then for protein and veggies watch for good sales and clearance. Now these prices aren't totally accurate because I'm just going off Walmart prices they could be more or less depending on where you live.

She would also add fresh cooked beans ($1.98/ one 32 oz bag) which had been left cooking all day. On fancy days she would make fresh jalapeño salsa and add it to give it some spice.

I thought I was so smart, but apparently its already a thing in Louisiana. Honestly, a cold can of beans with raw onion, garlic, and some hot sauce has seen me through many a day.

I can make a giant pot of bean soup for like 10 bucks from dollar store ingredients. One thing that always makes struggle meals more palatable is having a good selection of dried and powdered spices (which i can also find at the dollar store). Your wallet doesn't have to suffer just to satisfy your tastebuds, and your tastebuds don't have to suffer just to satisfy your wallet. Shop around for deals, and just never be afraid to experiment. If you worry a lot about making things, or just have no idea where to start, then i actually recommend studying recipies from times of scarcity. In the U.S. that would be the great depression and world wars one and two in terms of years i'd start looking into. People really showed a lot of good and bad creativity during eras of rationing. Even if your situation is bad now, i have every faith that you'll be alright.

@@hardywatkins7737 the food bank was a god send for me in college. I'd go with my roommate to get a box for two, then cook loads of stuff before the fresher things could go bad. I can't have dairy so I'd trade the dairy products for other things with friends on and off campus. Lol sometimes I'd even trade home cooked meals for other stuff, like extra ingredients or spices. I know there are lots of people in my age group that feel ashamed or embarrassed to go to a food bank, but honestly its a resource like any other. Damn, sorry I'm rambling, you just brought up funny memories of my little "restaurant" I had back in college.

You are going to become something even bigger in the near future. Keep going and do you!

My favorite struggle meal is bootleg spaghetti. A packet of ramen cooked with no salt packet and drained, a can of tomato soup (not watered down), some oregano, and some garlic powder. It got me through a lot of lean times.

baked beans with cut up hot dogs baked in the over was my struggle meal lol

Buttered pasta was my struggle meal as a student. Good times. 😅

You don't understand how funny this is 2:23 . I once made a huge batch of french toast for my entire family as a kid, and used cumin instead of cinnamon by accident. I specifically remember saying "Owww I love cinnamon, I'm gonna put extra!". IT WAS HORRIBLE!

I used to drink hot milk with cinnamon and honey, and one time I put a fuck ton of cumin in by accident and it was putrid. Idk why spice companies haven't changed the way they label cinnamon and cumin at this point. just make the cumin label yellow or brown and make the cinnamon label red ffs

😂😂😂😂 I’m dying here. Between his sense of humor and that bent fork. 😂😂😂. Best horrible recipes ever.

Dollar tree struggle recipe: 1 bag of corn chips, 1 can of chilli or beef stew, and slices of cheese. Line a baking dish with lightly crushed chips, put stew or chilli on top, cheese on top, bake til cheese is melty.... Really really good meal for less than 5 bucks.

A struggle meal my mom would make is kind of a mushroom-tuna casserole. She'd mix white rice, cream of mushroom soup, canned peas, and tuna together then bake until warm throughout. If we had them, she'd sautee sliced button mushrooms in butter and add them, but they're not essential. I actually liked it as a kid, but it's not everyone's cup of tea.

Sounds like the average tuna casserole, my mother just crushed up some Ritz crackers and melted butter on top before baking it.

Another one can be warm tortillas with butter or salt :) back in college a can of corn, frozen chicken, and tortillas keep you away from hunger and expensive meal plans. Also wholesome NPC, thank you for making the recipes, hope you can cook again tomorrow

Frankfurter sausage on a slice of bread with cheese and bbq sauce. The best 🤤

Part of me wants to try the second last one deadass looks like the brownies that come in the tv dinners

I used to make a microwave mug cake very similar to that chocolate cake almost every day. Was the best part of my day during a pretty dark time so love the messaging at the end and thanks for sharing.

11:59 i also had open mind. But it closed after watching the bonus recipe

Lost my appetite after this video. Gonna come back to this video whenever i feel hungry at midnight 👍🏻❤

My sister (she's in 8th grade) made us this 9:18 dish and it turned out so good! Instead of the bread she used puff pastries cuz we didn't eat it as a struggle meal lol. She also made chocolate ones. And they were delicious. Although the chocolate inside is piping hot.

I make any struggle meals feel like struggle meals

i wish there was more content to watch, ive binged everything. i find it really entertaining for some reason, keep it up!

Bruh that sponge line was gold lmfao. The comedy is why i click

My struggle meal used to be a salmon patty that I shredded up and put in a bowl of white rice with Japanese BBQ sauce

one of my struggle meals i still make once a week is bechamel sauce with noodles or rice, depending on what i have at home. the catch is, the sauce is also seasoned with a bit of soysauce and a few dashes of tabasco.

How exactly was putting a precooked sausage on precooked beans on a tortilla difficult to prepare?

the sheer weight of the guilt makes it physically challenging

One of my favourite Struggle Meals was and still is absolutely amazing. You just need some cheap fish liver. I usually bought packs of 10 or more because they were quite cheap. then you get a can of corn, one onion, some bread, or crackers and finally soy sauce. Just mix one can of fish liver into a bowl, add the corn, add the soy sauce, then finally finely chop half an onion and add that in. Mix it, add the crackers and let it soak for 5 mins. Done. It's packed with nutrients, but really easy to make and it goes amazingly well with any cheap liqueur.

This needs to be a series

This is my favorite channel ATM, please keep it up!!

the “nice job team” gets me everytime idk why

Butter bread, never fails. My dad used to prepare for us when he was going through a divorce.❤ Still love it.

One thing I discovered while poor is that bread and butter was a staple for a long time for a reason. Plain bread and butter with a little extra salt is actually pretty good and very calorie dense. It's when you run out of butter that things are grim, cos at that point just plain ol bread is indeed a bit sad. A lot of people waste money buying and making stuff that's a whole lot nastier than just eating bread and butter. Throw in a tin of tuna every now and then for some protein (just eat it I find, putting it with the bread just makes both worse) and you're golden. Oatmeal makes a great dessert with some cinnamon and sugar. The one thing you definitely DO get sick of when you're poor is beans and rice for dinner. You want something hot for dinner and bread and butter is not so good for that, and holy crap I've eaten so much beans and rice, to the point I feel physically ill these days at the sight of it, the humble cheese toasted sandwich being a much tastier call if you can afford the cheese. I definitely got sick of beans and rice in a way i never really did with bread and butter. Bread and butter I actually still love to this day, although I can afford fancier bread now, the regular ol slice white is all good. I never got the cheap value white though, the acceptable mass produced white bread is not really expensive even when you're poor and it's well worth it getting the middle of the road mass produced white bread over the super duper cheap white bread which is nasty.

His jokes never miss 😂
