>just make the sandwich at home, bro>it's cheaper and easier, bro
"People" who complain about the viability of making sandwiches themselves are better off eating Subway because even that is beyond them. Yeah I'm calling you lot out.
>>22256921"People" who put people in quotes and attach anime images are huge faggot pervert virgins.
Nobody says it's cheaper or easier.I just don't want to pay a wagie to assemble it for me.
>>22256922>projecting tourist can't even make a fucking sandwich on his ownWhy am I not surprised?
>>22256916the amount of variables here is in the 10s of thousands, that statement may or may not be true depending. so the discussion is not so straightforward
>>22256921>you lotGod I fucking hate Br*t*sh "people"
>>22256916>YouTube is a valid source of informationPleaseI call bullshit. This is just zoomers and genYners defending their laziness and/or incompetence. And maybe the fast food industry shilling their deskilling of 2 generations so they now have to pay someone to make food for themselvesEating out is a treat, not a right
>>22256916Good thing they made more than 1,500 bucks off advertising revenue to subsidize their retarded plan
>>22256963Not british but I recognize it's a good term and use it, same way I recognize beef wellington is a tasty dish and eat it.
>A YouTuberin the trash it goes
>>22256916This experiment was stupid since he insisted on getting salt from the sea which used up most of his budget since he included the cost of flying to the coast to gather sea water.You can make a chicken sandwich from scratch for less than 50 dollars easily unless you're including buying a cow for milk which he didn't.
>>22257055There are retards here on /ck/ who unironically think we should be doing all that shit instead of just going to Jersey Mike's.
>>22257060Nobody unironically thinks you should fly to the sea to get salt, they're just saying that to make you feel bad and apparently it's working if you're talking about it.
>>22257068I need people like you to rescue me when I’m being bullied for fast food
>>22257083I'll be there next time, anon.
>>22257060False dichotomy
>just make the sandwich at home, bro>it's cheaper and easier, broSometimes it just is.
>>22256916Certain kinds of sandwiches I will never, ever make at home. Like a chicken parm. I'm not breading and cooking chicken, making sauce, etc every time I want one. My fuckin deli can do that for me
>>22256916I hate that retarded argument. It's like saying repairing the axle on a car costs 100,000 dollars because you had to hand cast, stamp and machine all the parts and then build all the specialized tools and had to go to mechanics school. That's not how shit works. Most people who do it watch a YouTube video and buy cheap parts from RockAuto and hand their mechanic buddy a handle of liquor or two and the job gets done. The entire point of modern society is that we have other people who perform specialized tasks so that other people can do specialized tasks instead of doing everything individually like we did in the fucking Stone Age.
>>22256981For $1.35 you can't even get a single slice of roast beef or good cheese.
>>22256963>M-m-must mention the British>H-h-have to talk about the British>C-c-can't sleep, thinking about the BritishGet over your obsession.
>>22256963
>>22257449They only charge that because people will pay that. These prices are a reflection of society. 1.35 will absolutely get you a slice of roast beef and a bit of good cheese if your deli is willing to sell by the slice. But a big mac, fries, and a coke are a lot more than 1.35 today. 9.29 will get you a lot farther, don't you think?
>>22256916Here's the flow chart for sandwich choices OP: >want cold cut sandwich/wrap for lunch- Make it at home, wrap, and bring with>want a hot sandwich for lunch- Get it from a food truck or nearby restaurant>emergency, need food quick- Get whatever from local placeWhile you can technically make a hot sandwich at work using stuff like portable crock pots, it's not work the effort involved usually. They do also have microwave hot plates and stuff that can be used to toast, but I've found those are fiddly and not worth the effort. And forget about anything fried like a chicken sandwich, definitely never worth doing that at home. Feel free to spend away at restaurants, they are cheaper and easier. Especially due to oil/fat costs. There is no reason to ever get a cold cut from a wagie who will stiff you and get shit in your meal. Cold cut and PBJ type sandwiches last hours and can be shipped cold. Tortilla wraps stay good for like 1-2 months, there is no excuse when it comes to wraps and pinwheels. They refrigerate perfectly. And most cold cut sandwiches will be capable of being wrapped in parchment and ported to work either the morning of or night before. It is cheaper by all metrics to do a cold cut at home. Time, effort, materials, all cheaper. You will literally wait longer at Subway to get one made for you and you will pay double for shitty meat (or worse if the wagie skimps on your serving). If you bake your own sub bread, yeah it's longer - but you can make 4-5 sub rolls at once, enough for a whole week. And more importantly - you can "upscale" it with higher end deli meat and better bread. Plus ALL of the Subway sauces are sold at Walmart if you are hung up on that.Also, sometimes you are the only person who can make rarer sandwich types. If I want a po-boy, I have to make it. No one in my county makes them. I cannot buy it. Used to have a food truck that made them, they went out of business.
Oh, and for the common complaint that>I don't want 5 sandwiches back to back100% of sandwich components are freezable AND preserved such that they last 1-2 months while in the fridge, outside lettuce. Lettuce is the ONLY time sensitive item, and it can be kept for about a week or so. You can easily freeze bread, meat, cheese, and pickles are already preserved as-is. Too much meat? Freeze some, use some. Same for cheese. Bread eats freezer space, but you CAN freeze it. Fun fact: you can premake whole sandwiches and freeze them! Just don't let them get freezer burn. That means lettuce is your sole enemy for time. And guess what? It does double duty for salads! Use it! Heck, if you want to really get into it - you can make bao, freeze them, and they heat just fine in a microwave. Slightly more complicated to make, but you can do what the Chinese do if you want soft buns with fillings, aka a sandwich. Bamboo steamers are cheap. But that does involve cooking, and this board hates cooking.
>>22257605do people here not make like 20 sandwiches, bag them and freeze them?then you just reach into the freezer, grab your sandwich of choice, and toss it in the microwave (or an air fryer) and bada boom bada bing you're eatin
>>22256924>he hasnt heard...
None of these text on an image pictures are ever real
>>22256916Perhaps it was cheaper ten or fifteen years ago when produce was in a lower price range, energy costs were affordable, inflation overall allowed salaries to put more in the cart. Not today, you would have to buy in bulk to nudge down costs in order to make that sandwich home worthy and for the whole family, but if you live alone it's just a waste of money, time, ingredients.> hurrdurr buy a sack of rice and cans of beansSure we can all eat like Brazilians for months until you saturate your palate and hate rice for the rest of your life.
>>22258068Not every sandwich needs to be piled high with deli meat. Pretty sure you can pick up small tubs of tuna salad from the deli or meatballs from the hot bar.
>>22256963I'm less concerned with "you lot" than I am "you lot out" instead of "out you lot."
You're all too autistic
>>22258734You shouldn't be concerned with that phrasing, my ESL friend.
>>22257178Grape jelly. I knew it was the standard jelly but my bro told me strawberry is standard
>>22256916i did the math and i found out i can only just barely beat the most simple sandwich (all ingredients require no preparation besides cutting them) that's available near me and that's only if i eat the same sandwich four days in a row and not account for the time it takes to assemble and clean up.the most simple sandwich is ciabbata, lettuce, tomato, sauce/cream cheese spread, mozzarella, pesto.it would literally be more expensive and MUCH more time consuming for me to make any of the more elaborate sandwiches like grilled chicken breast or fried chicken i think i might be able to beat the deli meat and cheese slices sandwiches too, but i don't want to be eating deli meat four days of the week.for reference, all sandwiches are quite fresh, made on the day and cost 3.5 eur. i get them at a gas station so maybe they're a loss leader for them or something. gas stations used to be overpriced but now everyone else's prices exploded and these sandwiches stayed the same price.
>>22260178You can't make an affordable sandwich at homeanymore because produce prices have gone uptoo much. Meat, cheese, veggies, are meant to beused in a short window of time, if you live alone allthe ingredients you bought to make a cheapersandwich will spoil and you lose money, in the end it's cheaper to buy one off the grocery store.
Any premade food is double the cost minimum. Anything in a restaurant is more like 10x the cost. I don't care how much of a retard you are, at least learn to listen to people smarter than you.
>>22260391>Anything in a restaurant is more like 10x the costno? you undermine your point when you say this shit
>>22260400>no?what is your question
>>22260391>10xNot even close unless you're getting something very labor- and skill-intensive, like weighing out the ingredient cost per gram of sushi and comparing it with the prices at an upscale sushi restaurant. Even then it's gonna be like 5x at the most unless you're going to some meme restaurant where you pay to have fold leaf put on your sushi.Typical premade grocery store food will be 1.5-2x the cost of the ingredients you'd buy unless it's a loss leader like a rotisserie chicken, and restaurant will be 3-3.5x the cost unless you get a good deal or you're dealing with a niche case.
>>22256916Why can't you just post a normal thread starter instead of this ironic argument starting bullshit. Here: 'How far will you go for homemade sandwiches?' or some shit. I'd call you a faggot but faggots are at least attractive
>>22257060Nobody thinks that. You're making a ridiculous strawman which is the only form of argumentation you zoomers are capable of other than linking to some e-celeb's opnion.
>I use their app and buy their deals they put there. Also they give you free points with each purchase.For real though, these niggas gotta use the app. This ain't no motherfuckin game - I ain't playin wit y'all. Use the motherfuckin app.On the app, y'all can get the Cardi B and Offset meal deal for less than twenty dollars.That's a quarter pounder for a nigga and a cheeseburger for his bitch, a large fry and two motherfuckin drinks!That's a whole goddamn meal for two, for only a twenty.Plus a nigga get those points.Use them bitches for future discounts.So quit playin with them menus and "Imma order at the counter" type a nigga man fuck youY'all got me FUCKED UPTired of y'all niggas, for real....Use the motherfuckin app
>>22260178>the most simple sandwich is ciabbata, lettuce, tomato, sauce/cream cheese spread, mozzarella, pesto.I would ask if you were dropped on your head, but it sounds like your mom tossed you in the dryer with a few bricks. Pretty sure grilled cheese, peanut butter and jelly, tuna salad, egg salad, and quite a few others are much simpler. As a simple person perhaps you should just stick to simple food.
>>22261098i don't want to eat any of those american manchild sandwiches though
>>22260826i just want people to reply to me. i don't get much human interaction and if i make a rage thread it makes me feel SOMETHING
>>22260391>>22260400Depends on the food really.Plate of pasta? can easily be 15xHigh-end cut of steak? much lower
>raised and slaughtered the chicken himselfBrah
>YouTuberstopped reading there
>>22256921Yeah bro just drop whatever your doing and drive home every time your hungry
>>22263202>yourduh, bro
>>22256916Did he factor in his own labor to inflate that ridiculous number?
>>22262959>i don't want to eat any of those american manchild sandwiches thoughBut you are a whiny little manchild. They would be perfect for you. Mommy approved!
it's amazing how much discourse is just goyslop eating fat american retarded israel voting golem not understanding the arguement
>>22257449>1970 pricesOk buster, two can play at that game
>>22256916I am a third worlder, so my food costs are very different from people in America or europe, but surely this holds true?It is obviously very different to compare the total price of food production as a whole to that of buying a single sandwhich.But the costs seem high because he was raising a small quantity for a single sandwhich.The price evaluation used was that of a comercial factoryfarm, which assumes you will be raising hundreds of thousands or even millions of chickens in that setup.When you are talking about actual roots style food production, things are simply different. We raise chickens in backyards, we plant our own lettuce, tomatoes and onions, and produce our own organic fertilizer.Sure, I need to buy flour, olives and spices, but that is because those need colder climate to grow.Do you know how cheap a whole organic free range chicken cost me? $0.18 for the whole bird.They are not weighted, we go by size, and that is good enough for both.It is enough to make at least 30 sandwhichs after you are done rekovong the meat from bones.Another thing that is cheap is sloppy joes, cheap ground meat and tomatoe sauce on a bread simply works no matter where you live.If I had to go full poorboy diet to save money in a desperate situation, I would just buy bulk grains and beans and go fishing. Whatever I catch can either become dinner or bait, either for my fishing rod or my traps.A simple trap on a saltwater river using bamboo and a fish head will catch me plenty of crawlfish and crabs.I eat more seafood than rich japanese businessmen going out for sushi.So you must ask yourselves, why the fuck does food cost so daamed much in your countries? This is not normal, neither should you think it is!
>>22265418he included the price of a plane ticket to fly to the ocean to collect seawater to turn into salt and that took up a majority of the cost. not joking.
>>22258431Always wanted to try a Torta i always see it on mexican restaurants menus

>>22265567>why the fuck does food cost so daamed much in your countriesbecause we have more money dumbass
A homemade burger is generally both better and cheaper than from a restaurant. >discounted meat from a store, still perfectly good and usable >you can season and cook the patty exactly the way you want it >you can serve and time it such that the bottom bun doesn't become soaked in and destroyed by meat juice and grease
>>22257183yeah stacking a grindah or stuffing some meatballs into a roll is one thing but there's no point embarking on this huge cooking project because you want a sandwich for lunch
>>22266848Like sandwiches it becomes worth it if and only if you use all of the ingredients you buy. Not too hard but it can be a bit inconvenient if you like something better than just a bun and a patty.
>>22266821Do you?I can afford to eat steak everyday, I have free healthcare, so I will never go into medical bankruptcy, I can eat shrimp and lobster as poverty food.In the USA, you either can afford to live by having foodstamps and other benefits when you make up to 40k a year, and then you endure total poverty until 70k a year because of loss of benefits.So, if you consider the life cost/quality, you may just be poorer than me.
>>22268206Holy shit you've been propagandized, but I guess that makes sense. Propaganda tends to work.But let's be real, all the worst stuff you've heard about the USA only applies to a small percentage of the population. Most people are doing fine.Most people can afford steak, shrimp, lobster and all sorts of other food. Most people have health insurance that works perfectly fine.You claim you can go fishing everyday and eat well. But what if you didn't live next to a body of water? I can just say "well you only get to eat in your country if you live near water, you have to be lucky geographically"Of course we can both see how retarded that is, and that is basically everything you said about the USA
>>22263190He just slaughtered it. If he raised it himself it would have tasted significantly better than supermarket chicken.
I am gonna make it at home lol.Who dares me to eat ten sandwiches
>>22268206It's great here if you've got money and not so much if you're poor. How much it sucks to be poor depends on the state you live in. That's about the long and short of it. We've got some of the best of the best and worst of the worst of the developed countries. If you're not retarded and you're willing to really grind it out for 5-10 years then you can get from the bottom to a position of decent wealth, whether or not a person should have to do that to live with dignity is its own question.>>22268232A significant portion of people here live paycheck to paycheck. Maybe they could afford a steak and lobster dinner once in a blue moon but otherwise they're mounting debt to pretend to afford a lifestyle above their means(this happens often unfortunately).
>>22268260>It's great here if you've got money and not so much if you're poorthis is true of everywhere.less developed countries still have the same disparities based on access to natural resources.
>>22268260>If you're not retarded and you're willing to really grind it out for 5-10 years then you can get from the bottom to a position of decent wealth, whether or not a person should have to do that to live with dignity is its own question.are you fucking retarded? Obviously that is an amazing thing. It's a miracle even.Contrast it with a society where you need to work all the time for basic subsistence.
>>22268606>it's true everywhereI can think of countries with better social safety nets for the poor where it's a lot better to be poor and countries where I'd rather shoot myself than be poor, so no it's not equally true everywhere at all.>>22268608You missed my point entirely, anon.
