I noticed this when I visited Marseille recently. I couldn’t believe how cheap pizza is!
It’s not uncommon to see large pizzas for $30+ in my area (which tbf is expensive even for america). I think American pizza does often have more toppings, but not enough more.
If you have access to ham hock, look up Congri. It’s a Cuban beans and rice dish that’s very cheap to make and quite tasty.
It might sound like more of a side, but I’ve found it’s plenty hearty enough for a meal.
I can see you’re in the UK, so this might be completely different for you, but another thing I’ve found lately is that chicken drumsticks are extremely cheap compared to every other cut of chicken. I can get about 8lbs of drumsticks for $8 from costco. I bake them, tear off the meat, and freeze it for use in whatever. I also save the bones so I can make chicken stock once I have enough.
Not sure if that will hold true across the pond, but I’ll throw it out there anyway just in case.
Edit: I realize you said no beans and rice, so I guess I’m not helping in that regard with this, sorry! 😅
I second this. As they say, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. It’s a lot less overwhelming to tackle problems in small pieces than by looking at everything at once.
This meme makes me wish we had an age of empires 4 community on here. This would be a perfect cross post there 😆
It’s a non sequitur response and rude for no reason. That’s the only fact I see here.
I can only speak for myself, but the types of responses you’re leaving in this thread are de-energizing. They’re a powerlessness narrative where nothing is good enough for you, so people shouldn’t even try. That’s how it comes across, whether or not that’s your intent. If you really want to help build the resistance, I would encourage you to take a different approach, because this one you’re using is doing the opposite.
They literally didn’t say that. Stop making things up to get mad at.
I’m not sure what the issue is, but I don’t believe in shitting on people for asking questions. We all need help sometimes.
I see you calling out some of the people in this thread my comment was aimed at, so I think we’re on the same side.
As you can see, Lemmy has quite a few of these people, too.
There’s a general strike on Friday? I’ll try to participate. I had no idea.
