I have a theory that there is a impossible trinity (like in economics), where a food cannot be delicious, cheap and healthy at the same time. At maximum 2 of the 3 can be achieved.
Is there any food that breaks this theory?
Edit: I was thinking more about dishes (or something you put in your mouth) than the raw substances
Some popular suggestions include
- fruits (in season)
- lentils
Well chicken maybe as it is the most cheap meat. And it is subjective, but something like chicken soup (if cooked at home) can be relativly cheap and really delicious.
Also, just thought about it - fruits and berries also easily break this trinity
While I also like chicken, the more delicious chicken tends to be pricy (as in the cheap chicken is often bland in taste - but I’ll concede that’s kind of splitting the hair.
But you’re probably right about fruits.
Take some cheap dark meat and make Chicken Adobo. You need vinegar, soy, garlic, sugar, black pepper, and bay leaves and eat it with white rice and steamed veggies. You can use pretty much any vinegar and soy, though there is a traditional Filipino brand.
If you think the cheap cuts of chicken – or pretty much any type of land-animal meat, for that matter – are bland, you’re Doing It Wrong™. Those cuts tend to have the characteristics that make them suitable for low-and-slow cooking methods like smoking, braising and stewing, which can turn out even tastier than the best grilled chicken breast or steak if done right.
Meat is an expensive luxury product
If your in america it is expensive and low quality
there seriously is something wrong with american foods because I’ve accidentally added them a few time to my nutrition tracking app and they are seriously unhealthy compared to my local countries food
