College kid kookery
Alright, so I'm sure many TFP'ers are broke college kids with a rusty teflon pan and five bucks to spend on dinner. The woes of being young and poor, right?
In my area at least, those prime cuts of meat(chicken breast, steaks, ribs) are getting hell of pricey lately. So, what is your favorite cut of meat that doesn't take a bite out of your budget?
For me, the pork tenderloin may be king. I feed three chums nicely off one seven dollar cut, add in fresh vegetables and we may hit ten dollars.
Also, the chicken thigh! I got four thighs for five bucks at the market today. The chicken breasts cost nearly three times as much. At the moment the four are soaking up dill, roasted garlic, and lemon juice. Add in mashed garlic taters and a few rolls and I have a damn feast on my hands.
So, let's hear some ideas and proteins for the broke ass folks.
*edit* I had this open on my desktop for a while and never saw the thread just underneath it. Goddang! sorry about the duplicate thread creating.
