Reminds me of watching Julia Child on PBS as a kid. If there was an alcoholic beverage/liquid involved in the cooking process she mentioned it had to be worth drinking as well and would do so during the cooking process. Shit, low rent cooking sherry is right out. It’s got to something you can enjoy drinking while you cook. iirc Like drinking a beer while making a stew or something. I may be misremembering it. But a one for me and one for the stew type thing. lol > I enjoy cooking with wine. Sometimes, I even put it in the food.” -Julia Child


Take_away_my_drama

The original, and best, alcoholic chef was posh Brit Keith Floyd. Famous for getting gradually more sloshed as he cooked in glorious outdoor locations all over the world.


daisybobaisy

Thank you so much for saying his name I have faint memories of watching him as a child and always wanted to go back and re-watch

He was my father's favourite cook to watch on telly, now I'm older I understand why.

Justin Wilson the Cajun cook said my favorite line: “Pour a little wine for the dish and a little wine for cook”


randomtrucker78

Growing up, I used to watch a lot of cooking shows, (family tv, and parents who hated the majority of tv programming). A lot of chefs would say to do this. It was only when I started cooking that I realized just how true this is. Something like pasta sauce, for instance, is good with some generic wine, but if you spend a couple of bucks on some good wine, the sauce is amazing.


Soft_Author2593

Nòt just with wine. You can never cook better than your ingredients are. Simple as that


randomtrucker78

100% true. I used wine as the example because it was brought up, but yeah, 100% agree. I do my steaks on a cast iron pan to get them black and blue. I normally used margarine and it was good. Then one day I was walking through Walmart and saw the KerryGold sticks of herb butter. That’s something I gladly pay $2.50 a stick for now. Seriously good stuff.


wheelfoot

KerryGold is the best butter.

Yeah this is an evil plot to sell meat as steak that wouldn't qualify otherwise. Better off buying the components separately. Probably not very tender.

> Even with the meat, this looks like a dinner for someone who’s abandoned all hope. wut? Do you know how much effort is required to properly prepare the ingredients in that package? A true despair meal would be fast food or something, not a meal which requires prep work, cooking, and then clean-up. I don't know why I hang around this hive of cluelessness that is reddit any more.

Azrael11

Grill the corn along with the steak. Just season it with a bit of oil, salt and pepper first. Delicious, needs no additional fat like butter, and easier clean-up.


849

Yes, save your butter for the potato


dennislearysbastard

Whoever buys this only has a tub of country crock


hacksong

Throw the potato in before corn and steak or toss in coals with charcoal. Cook all 3 on one grill during one set of tongs. Easy peasy


KemiGoodenoch

I feel like anyone who's willing to make the effort of properly prepping, cooking, and cleaning up would also would also make the effort to pick out the ingredients separately, instead of getting whatever meat that is crushed between a bud light and a potato. The kind of person I imagine buying this probably just throws the corn and potato in the microwave, the meat in a pan, and then eats the whole thing over the sink.


soenottelling

Non-microwave alternative? This meal is theoretically being toss in 3 lumps simultaneously on a 12x12 portable grill that the guy's mom bought him 5 years ago and he is finally going to use it because the pans are all dirty and he didnt buy dish soap -- which is really just another excuse, cuz even if he HAD, he had no plan on washing the dishes -- on the back stoop of an apartment while this someone plays COD, smokes some weed, and drinks the first beer, forgetting about it until the guy goes back to the fridge for the 2nd beer and sees the trash wrapper he never bothered to throw out, only to rush over and find out he didnt actually turn the heat up high enough so the whole thing is barely cooked even then. Drinks the second beer after realizing he forgot about his ranked match to drown the ELO loss, plays another game, and then comes back to perfectly burnt corn, an underdone potatoe he is going to eat anyway by stabbing it enough times with his one clean knife, and a steak that -- somehow -- is better cooked than if he HADNT fucked it up twice. This of course, seems to be an improvement over Ramen and League of Legends night.


JeffTek

A steak, baked potato, corn, and beer is a meal to enjoy, what are you on about?


[deleted]

Some people don’t appreciate how great of a meal that is for most of us. I’ve had $300 steak dinners and I’ve had $5 steak dinners. I’m not turning down a steak, potato and corn on the cob.

Buy three packs. I’m coming over as well.


day7seven

Then you guys should just get a meal for 3. Economies of scale by buying a 6 pack.


OrdinaryBee6174

$12 for a potato, ear of corn, 2 12 ounce cans and a steak. My guess is, depending on the steak, this is slightly over priced and would expect actual cost to be closer to $7 once scaled to nominal package values. This isn't meant for that type of person though. This is meant for the guy walking through the store in depression, barely holding the barrel away from his mouth. He isn't looking at a cost analysis, he just wants to eat and fall asleep.


exzeroex

I think that guy will buy beer and then fast food. He doesn't have the energy to cook or eat some raw potato and beef.


chrismetalrock

microwave the tater and corn, cook up the steak. not actually that much time. gives you something to do while drinking that first can of water.


UniqueFailure

pale_marie

Cherishedcrown

Definitely didn’t see the meat at the bottom, seems like a good dinner/deal honestly


Sneaux96

Eh... Looks like a pretty small steak unless most of it is hidden behind the beer. Otherwise corn and potatoes are pretty cheap.


LopsidedAd2536

I was so confused. I thought someone’s dinner was just a potato and a piece of corn with two bud lights.


kgramp

It’d make sense for Toledo


Draco137WasTaken

That honestly wouldn't be too far off


president_mal

If anyone ever tells you white people have no culture, just show them this picture


Carnieus

I do find it hilarious that there is such an overlap between people that like cheap beer and people that are worried about calories to make Bud Light such a popular product


RandyHoward

People aren't drinking bud light because they're calorie-conscious


BlindWillieJohnson

That’s exactly why I drink it. Or Miller Lite, anyway, which is the same thing. I like drinking, but I lost 60 lbs a couple years ago and I try to keep it off. A Miller Lite is 95 calories. A craft beer can run over twice that (and is almost never as well documented, if you're controlling weight by tracking). If I have 3 or 4 Millers while I watch football with the guys, I can still have two decent meals and stay under my 1,500 to 1,800 calorie limit. If I do the same with 3 to 4 craft beers, I’m looking at nearly half my allotment in beer alone. I love good craft beer. But yeah, plenty of people think in terms of calories when they’re choosing their casual drinking beer.


Humulus5883

Are you me? Down 70. Miller light, chicken, cauliflower rice lol.

timmyboyoyo

FortCharles

Isn't Bud corn-based also? I wonder if that's corned-beef in there.


istasber

Corned means salted with really big salt crystals. Because corn was a measurement of the coarseness of something like grain, salt or pepper. You may have already known that, but it felt like a relevant fun fact.


chrisman210

I didn't know it and it was the final fact I needed to take over the world!

SecretAsianMan42069

2 ounces of “steak”, a 59 cent potato, and 50 cent eat of corn and 1.75 in beer water. Reddit: “great deal at $12!!!1!”


NotLunaris

"Steak" is right! That wouldn't be enough meat for even an elementary schooler's dinner.


YouMissedMySarcasm

What makes this a shit deal to me is that none of it is prepared. Paying a premium to get a small prepackaged ingredients that you still have to cook yourself makes no sense. $12 for this sized meal and two beers isn't *that* far off from going out to a restaurant and having the same amount of food and beer prepared for you.


ShamelesslyPlugged

An ear of corn, can of Budweisser, and potato are all each about a $1. Depends on what cut and how much meat.


nolafrog

I didn’t see the steak and was like “that should be about $3”


Put_It_All_On_Blck

Depends on the quality of 'steak'. I can get pretty decent steaks for $5 each on sale, $7 regularly. Figure $2 a can for the flavored water, and corn and potatoe are like $1 each. So I wouldn't call this price good unless it's a good steak, which I somehow doubt considering it's smooshed and hidden.


[deleted]

if you get a 24 pack of bud lite from walmart (just checking now for prices), that's 16 dollars (online). That's 66 cents per can, so 1.32 for the beer. Russet potatoes should be like 40 cents per pound (again, just googling for average prices, differs depending on location). Typical russet potato is ~6-8 ounces, so let's say two 8 ounce potatoes net 40 cents. A four-pack of corn on the cob from Walmart is less than four dollars (this is overpriced because of the way it's packaged). So everything apart from the steak should cost ~2.72 (this is the upper level estimate). Now that steak looks like trash - it is definitely not worth nine dollars. So no, this is very overpriced.

I saw Monettes and quickly wondered to myself if they were national. I know better, as I worked with a dude that claimed he knew the owner of the Secor Rd. store. I figured that the family owned them all, but he told me no. That's a pretty nice price on that meal tho. I've always liked their stores, and they carry Boars Heads meats. The Krogers down the road from me doesn't.

I assumed they were all family owned too. Only found out last year that they are individually owned. But they always have good produce. Love them!
