Umm yea all adults should look at prices for everything. It's part of being an adult and keeping track of your finances.
people look at prices when ordering food?
i remember having to do that when i was younger. burger king had that different deal depending on what day it was and id even share that meal with my gf at the time. lol
my parents have become frequent chinese/international super buffet goers when they actually decide to eat out as well as the AYCE sushi buffest. more bank for buck. i go sometimes and its not all that bad. i prefer ordering from the menu in a non sushi buffet environment. wont step foot in a golden corral though. yuck.
Real good food does take a longer time. A veggie medley is not anything beyond a simpleton level dish for lesser palettes. Indeed, it's mostly the spices and sauce helping the veggies go down the chute. Dumping sauce on a pile of vegetables is unskilled cooking. Oh yes, you'll get more calories than a McDonald's value meal, but don't tell me that the shit coming out of a 20 minute cooking session will be anything beyond mere functional in terms of tasty food.
The most wholesome vegetable as far as feeling full after eating is the potato. Something that needs to be skinned and then cut to specs. And that is before anything else is cooked.
I worked at mcd's back when the chedder melt came out. All it was was a squirt of cheddar cheese from a gun and we sauteed sliced onions with soy sauce on a grill.If they can't even manage the McRib there's no chance in hell for the Cheddar Melt.
Keep an eye out for their Monopoly, typically if you're going to get the McRib, it will start around the end of the Monopoly season (late October, November).I wish those fucking bastards would bring back the McRib. They did in the U.P. of Michigan last summer, but not here downstate. What the shit is that?! There's like 10 living things up there, and 9 of them are deer.

The melting and seasoning of meat takes longer than 6-10 minutes. I know that once it's on the fire/stovetop, it's all but a few minutes worth of cooking. I've seen my mom stir fry often. Cutting the meat to the right size, mixing the stuff with cornstarch solution, letting the soy sauce soak in a little. Skipping all those steps and just quickly cutting, say, chicken breast and just directly putting it in the pan is a worse tasting piece of meat, and it is less tender.
That said, Americans are indeed quite unwilling to learn anything out of their comfort zone and sulk in an unskilled state. Cooking is one of those things. Cooking does save money, even if it is unsavory. McDonalds is bland anyway. Like, nothing they have has any taste...
Currently in my area.....

I've never liked the McRib, I must be odd considering how people have always raved about them.
i marinate a shitload of meat on monday when i get back from the grocery store and pull it out nightly and just cook it. there's literally no meat preparation needed when i cook it. it tastes even better as the week goes on.
You eat the same stuff all week?
