A lazy supermarket special - a roast chicken in a bag and a baguette roll picked up on the way to the checkout. We’ve all been there and I’m sure it makes a passable meal, but cooking is a skill everyone should endeavour to be proficient in.
A succulent meal

Add some veg, and some butter for the bread, and it’s a good meal

Potatoes could. The leaves, sprouts, and underground stems (tubers) of potatoes contain a toxic substance called glycoalkaloid. Glycoalkaloids make a potato look green when it’s exposed to light, gets damaged, or ages. Eating potatoes with a high glycoalkaloid content can cause nausea, diarrhea, confusion, headaches, and death.
Also, the sentient mutant vegetables on Atrack of the Killer Tomatoes will definitely want to do harm toward OP.

Not to mention, if you try to swallow a potato whole (as one does), you risk choking to death.
Gullible@sh.itjust.works 19 hours ago
From what I understand, green potatoes are rendered harmless by boiling, as the poisons are water soluble. Though they are not rendered inactive by boiling, they are diffused through the water, rendering it inadvisable to reuse for boiling other foods. Following that, harvesting these poisons is relatively easy and a good way to get Cheney, that asshole, to keep to his own fucking food.
Not disagreeing, trying to keep food waste down.

Tomatoes are fruit! Although I don’t know if the mutant tomatoes still count as such.

Is wheat not a vegetable?
stray@pawb.social 16 hours ago
Wheat grain is strictly a vegetable, being an edible plant part. But people usually use the word to refer to a socially-constructed category which is completely feels-based. Membership tends to be determined by flavor profile, nutrition content, and whether the given part falls into another popular sub-category (such as fruit or nuts). This is why fruits like the tomato and pumpkin are usually sorted as vegetables separately from fruits with generally sweeter flavors like the banana or orange.
Vegetables like grains, legumes, and certain tubers will often be grouped together as “carbs” due to their high carbohydrate content which distinguishes them from low-calorie, high-fiber vegetables like spinach or broccoli.
CannedYeet@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
Wheat is a plant. If wheat was a vegetable we wouldn’t need the distinction between plant and vegetable.
YellowParenti@lemmy.wtf 13 hours ago
When I was on a strict diet, I actually bought 5 dollar rotisserie chicken and made a stir fry of sorts with broccoli, spinach, carrots, peas. I’d skip breakfast just to be able to have a big dinner and be satisfied going to bed. I’d try to get close to 120g of protein a day, (I’d eat half a chicken a day) and technically as much veg as I could stomach. I figure I was eating around 1500 calories a day. It worked but it was boring.

Even in the 1960s eating a whole chicken would have been a luxury, this isn’t peasant food, that’s the gout inducing diet of a king
Tattorack@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
Soft white bread? Nobody but rich upper class people could afford soft white bread until well past the industrial revolution.
That’s also a pretty large roasted bird that’s being eaten in complete absence of stew.
gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 1 hour ago
fun fact: whole-grain bread is probably healthier than soft white bread anyways due to an increased content in fiber, so there’s that …

A medieval peasant on a celebration day. I doubt they could eat a whole as chicken every day
vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 16 hours ago
Depends on which era honestly. The medieval period lasted for nearly a thousand years and could very about as much as one would expect, so for example a very well off peasant during the high medieval period maybe could have eaten a whole ass chicken for a while at least. Probably wouldn’t have though, at least not without turning it into soup or a sandwich equivalent.

A few things to unpack here.
- That chicken is roasted nicely, but I completely understand if that was bought in that condition at the grocer’s.
- Plain bread is a travesty. it needs to be either toasted and/or you need some melted butter or gravy to sop up.
- Pair this with some fruit or pan seared/roasted vegetables. Even microwaved beans would make this nutritious. Takes very little effort, very easy to do.
- Even peasants had access to beer, ale, or home-made short-beer/kvass. Gotta calorie-max so you can work in the field tomorrow. Plus, the alcohol helps with the constant muscle-aches and fatigue from endless labor.
There are innumerable ways to elevate this meal, but I’ll keep this comment short. Anyone, feel free to message me or reply here if you want tips for that.

Reminds me of a pretty recent game called Pentiment that’s like an old school point and click adventure about a murder in a middle age German Abby where a bunch of conversations happen over meals & who you eat with can have an effect on a bunch if stuff in the game. it was pretty cool to include and I’m guessing they tried to go for some accuracy considering how much detail they use on the foods.
