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) and vegetables
- lentils, beans, rice
- mushrooms
- chicken
- just eat in moderation
Edit 2: Thanks for the various answers. Now there are a lot of (mostly bean-based) recipes for everyone to try out!
Also someone made a community for cheap healthy food after seeing this topic!
I believe in this when it’s in my own hands but every single comrade I’ve had prepare a meal for us in an instant pot has been absolutely awful. I believe everyone has to be fucking with me because there is no way my comrades are living their lives eating crunchy rice and beans.
If it’s crunchy they didn’t do it long enough. Or perhaps did it way too long.
If the beans are crunchy they didn’t cook long enough. If the rice is crunchy there was not enough water.
