No, some people talk to each other, you know. Clearly not in Hawaii,
though :)

You must have very superficial contact with people. Is that a Hawaiian
thing or just you?

Well-off people often buy prefab food, too. There are thousands
of high-end frozen entrees at the grocery store, most touting their
healthfulness.

Yes, you live in the one where you don't look in the freezer case at the
grocery store:

The point is that prefab food is expensive. If you buy real food, like
potatoes, beans, vegetables that are in season etc., you can cook
healthy meals that are cheap. But I often see people who are clearly
not well off, buy expensive prefab stuff.

Cooking takes time. Poor people often have less time available than
rich people. They have less money to convert into time, so the rational
decision is to prioritize food.
 
Cooking takes equipment. The really poor might not even have a full kitchen.
Slightly less poor people move frequently, so have fewer possessions.

Sorry, but that's nonsense.

i don't have much of a kitchen. i can get many things done though. i use a cheap serrated knife for cutting veggies; a cheap knife for cutting and trimming raw meat. my small sauce pan got lost in a move and instead of buying a new one, i now boil my eggs in a deepish frying pan. when i put the egg(s) in, the water only covers half of the egg; i top it with a lid and eggs come out fine. etc. i can make stir frys, stews, soups from scratch etc. and i don't consider myself poor, but poor is relative. i'm not as wealthy as trump is.

The grocery stores now have huge frozen dinner sections, as Cindy
mentioned. Many these days are actually pretty healthy and good
"fast food" for people that don't have much spare time to home
cook every meal. It's a decent compromise. At least healthier
then BK or McD, etc.
 
Frozen dinners got a bad rap just from the early days when only
Swanson or Banquet dinners were sold.
 
There are certain days, I come home completely exhausted. I'll
take a shower and eat an easy frozen dinner vs spending an hour
cooking from stupid scratch. On some of those days, I'll just
skip eating altogether rather than bother. I've learned to have
something easy on hand though.
 
I'm a very big fan of "just toss it in the microwave." It can be
cooking while you shower.

Even retired people don't want the trouble to cook from scratch
every single day. The frozen food sections are worth checking out
these days.
 
Alternatively, I often cook large in order to make my own frozen
dinners but only on days off when I plenty of time. I'm going to
make another gallon of pea soup either this morning or tomorrow
morning. I really like that stuff and good to have some in the
freezer. Frozen in pint containers which is often enough for 2
meals.

For many green vegetables, I've switched to frozen...next best
thing to fresh. Have you ever priced fresh veggies in a grocery
store? Ridiculous prices so often.
 
Have you tried yellow squash yet? I love it and will buy on sale
for 79 cents a pound but most times it sells for like $1.79 a
pound. I won't pay that. Same thing (and prices) just for iceberg
lettuce.
 
The truly poor do grow all their own vegetables, raise chickens
for eggs and meat, and also hunt to suppliment the meat issue.
This is only for rural people with some land. City poor don't
have that option.

Guessing about what people you see do and why they do it is
almost always a fail.

What an odd thing to say. :-o
 
There *IS* a good movie about rich pretending to
be a street bum though.
Check out: "Life Stinks" (1991)
I like that movie.
Funny, entertaining and a good ending :)

The TRULY poor live in alleyways and under freeway overpasses. Rat
makes a fine meal.

do you use hungarian paprika? i don't think i do. i use a no name brand. don't now the country of origin, but it's quite good. i used to use the szegedi brand, but it's very expensive. there is a difference in paprikas though. i once purchased lebanese paprika, and it was horrible.

Interesting. Until I came to RFC, I always thought that paprika
basically had no taste at all and only used it a cute topping
occasionally. It *was* always from a grocery store though and
probably very old and had lost it's taste.

That looked quite nice, I must say.
That dish would make about 3-4 meals for Jill. ;)

Popeye, yoose can get rid of yoose fly lice. Go to the drug store
and they will sell yoose a product to get rid of yoose crabs.
 
Be sure to treat the ole mexican woman's crotch too, or yoose will
just catch the crabs again next time yoose eats her.

Chile relleno is one of my favorites. I don't make them but order when
eating out .. texmex and newmex versions.

My laptops have a touchpad for moving the mouse. Annoying at
first but I got used to it. Once I get the annoying Windows10 one
going, I'll probably use a separate mouse and a keyboard.
