    This…. Is not stupid. This is just making dinner with what you have in the fridge

    Not stupid. He can’t help that his parents are carrots.

  3. DunceMemes

    The “swipe right” dots didn’t load for me at first so I thought the dinner was just the two carrots.

    why is this stupid food? this post doesn’t fit the subs spirit

  5. JohnLow5

    He’s doing the best he can with what he has. Definitely doesn’t deserve to be in this sub.

    You are eating healthier than a lot of Americans.

  7. Jean_Paul_Magno

    This looks super tasty!!

    Let’s gooo

    Why is that stupid food? It is food that fill you up on cheap budget. Just shows you how cheap you can feed 4 people.

  9. Triscuitador

    it’s simple, not shitty. it looks good

  10. lost_user_account

    I guess it depends if $2.50 is a lot in your country. Is that what you make a day?

  11. ThiccElf

    Whats stupid about this? You have a good, healthy protein, vegetables and a good carb. It’s a solid, filling meal, I’d eat it.

  12. Such-Competition-816

    I posted I another sub and people said the same that why a posted here do you think I need to delete?

  13. New_Function_6407

    I’m sorry your parents are carrots but that dinner looks terrific!

  15. bazookajef

    There’s veg, protein and carbs. What’s stupid about that? If available, I’d change a couple of those carrots into another tomato and some garlic but that’s a legit meal as is.

  16. wanderingsheep

    That would cost like $20 at my local grocery store

  19. Dead_before_dessert

    Why did I already see this *hours* ago?

    The only stupid part is those eggs, you do not need to boil them for that long, like 7 minutes max is perfect

  21. utterly_baffledly

    I would slightly modify it but the main thing you want to change is probably presentation. Either sauce gently over the top or mixed right through.

  22. No-Consideration-891

    This isn’t stupid. It’s resourceful if anything. Some times you have very little to work with.

  23. Capital_Assignment51

    Not stupid, but eggs like the one on the right always freak me out

  26. Itsjustausername535

    *Waits for the stupid part…*

  27. Acidbaseburn

    Looks like a normal home cooked meal to me

  28. BeGladYouDidIBet

    One of those eggs is uncircumcisef

  29. BallisticRicehat666

    Proud of you making what you can with what you have, I’ve been there a ton

  30. protomex

    Damn, they don’t have onions and garlic?

  31. elmariachi304

    I’ll admit my ignorance up front, I’m actually surprised those ingredients can’t be bought for less than $2.50 in Angola. Seems like a lot. I’m guessing the box pasta is most of it.

  32. weasel-jesus

    I’d cook the vegetables and boil the pasta. Once the pasta is cooked add it to the vegetable pot. Beat the eggs in a cup. Then add it to everything else. Mix for about a minute. Then eat

  34. Personal_Wall4280

    I wouldn’t have made it like that, but I would have still ate it if someone made it for me. The eggs though, if you fry them sunny side up, the runny yolk would make this 10x better.

    This actually isn’t a bad list of ingredients. You have carrots, onions, and bell peppers. This is the basis for the holy trinity or mirpoux. With the eggs and tomatoes, you can make a bit of an alleyway tomato carbonara with it.

    Personally, I would have just used the eggs to make egg drop soup, and maybe tried using the onions, carrots, and tomato for a poorman’s Bolognese. Green bell peppers? I guess they can go into the soup? Or maybe eaten raw as an appetizer with some sort of hot sauce concotion mixture.

  36. NotTheRightHDMIPort

    If you made that for me I would be grateful and eat it.

    I cannot think of a more perfect dinner.

  37. taemyks

    Rock on. Loved your Pizza post. Any other things you’ve never tried that you want to?

  39. Independent-Duck-636

    Poverty food shouldn’t be considered stupid food. You’re just eating to survive.

  40. Keku_Saur

    I don’t find this stupid at all! if anything I would prep it different. I would have chopped the boiled eggs. and mashed more the tomato to make it more of a paste, and add slowly the other vegetables while taking out the excess of water, seperate one egg white and add it a bit, needs low heat tho if not it will make the white cook and seperate.

    the carrots are a riot because since it’s a root you can mash it. And it taste so good carrot almost in any form wether it’s chips, fries, mash, juice etc. very versatile like potato.

    And the yellow yoke, I would put it into the pasta gradually. Kinda like how they do with carbonara to make it creamy.

    for onion I would have cooked it a bit more until it’s close to grilled with the onion then add the chopped boiled egg and place it on top of the pasta.

    This is probably better posted on r/shittyfoodporn, it’s not stupid just kinda shitty looking lmao

    That said, I would devour that

  42. Remote_Sugar_3237

    Maybe it doesn’t fit the sub, but it’s humbling and necessary to be reminded how some of us have it easy with food security.

    Definitely not stupid food. All the best to you and your family from Costa Rica.

  43. CypressJoker

    This isn’t stupid, it’s just modest. I’d eat it.

  44. MaybeClassy

    Thanks for sharing your dish! Looks good!

    I love how most of these comments are in support of this guy and calling it not stupid food. Because it’s not.
