American food.

Potatoes and onions, corn, inch thick pork chops.
Pork chops were excellent looking managers specials for 6.12 instead of 9 something.
The whole thing would have come up to about $5.50 per person. But a weird thing happened. A while back we went to a store we got maybe four times a year to get something Walmart didn’t have. They handed us a store contest scratch off card. We got home and scratched it off. We won a $100 gift card.
So technically this meal was about negative $40 per person.
We wanted to stock up on freezer friendly meats but that entire freezer was out of commission. Womp womp. Like MacArthur, we will return.

That’s not true. We are way fattier than pork.

Any true American food is either microwaved or eaten directly out of a plastic bag!
In other news: your meal looks really good, like a true comfort meal

Nothing green? Mid-west maybe, but not sure that represents all of America.
-
A stereotypical American meal is “meat and potatoes” If either the meat or the potatoes are green, you die.

That poster a few weeks ago who said hes gonna block this community lives rentfree in my head. Because i get him. Nearly everytime i see a picture of this community posted in my feed it just absolutly disgusts me. Holy moly. It dont even know why? Its not high cuisine, but who cares? I’m sure its perfectly fine tasting self cooked food.
But something about it just breaks me.Anyway. Keep it up. This is a nice little community and i could just post my own stuff if really cared. Feel free to delete this comment. But damn, i couldnt stay silent or just ignore it any longer. My poor european tastes are struggling to keep it together with these meals.

What spices did you use for the meat?

Due to comfort food compliance regulations imposed by my wife I’m only allowed to use salt and pepper or, very rarely, curry powder, on pork chops. This one is just salt and pepper.

Yesterday I re-learned that Romans didn’t use salt and pepper, they used salt and cumin.
Going to try that today.

They liked long pepper and grains of paradise. But I wouldn’t use grains of paradise on pork chops. Cumin and long pepper sounds good.

I did salt and ground cumin on a ham sandwich, it was decent!

Late reply, but are those mustard seeds on the potatoes?
Jane Brody would be happy…

I used a seedy German mustard on the potatoes and onions after I fried them. Oh and about two tablespoons of butter.

Does this look better? If so: too much instagram

Nope it does not look better. It’s the food, not the colors.
Oh maybe it is the colors, it looks even more like it’s heavy in the stomach.
It’s weird as I like meat and cheese myself. But photos of American food which is almost exclusively that stuff - the first few I saw, i though yum. But now every time I see more of them, it turns me off.
I understand OP is living on a budget and I’m happy for them for their 100 USD card. And I remember - when I was there for holidays the last time I ate similarly myself because some simple fresh stuff just did cost a fortune.
Back to the picture - what would make it look good to me would be something green, just a bit of salad on the side or some bell peppers sliced.
I was in Sardegna once and on that trip I had one of the best meals I ever had in an agroturismo. What do I remember about it? The plate of raw sliced tomatoes and bell peppers they had grown themselves.

Nah, the last time i used insta was when it was mostly known for its infamous lomography filters. While this edit is intentionally horrible it proofs a point though. A subtle shift in the whitepoint to the warmer side and a few clicks to reduce the slight green tint in the potatoes would help wonders. Almost looks like flourescent light or photographed with a flash light. Either case wouldnt be ideal.
Anyway, i’m well aware of how hard it is to take good pics of food. I wouldnt have made that rather blunt and maybe hurtful comment if it was only about the presentation. Its mostly just a culture shock thing, i guess.
But enough of me and my “feelings”. If i ever comment or post again i will provide pics/recipes.
