There is definitely less seasoning used in eastern European recipes as compared to western European recipes, thats not to say they are any less good because they still use onion, garlic, salt, and pepper in droves, and heartier herbs like dill and parsely. Add to that that boys (this can apply to girls too but from what I've seen they get conscripted more heavily than boys to help with cooking) generally tend to not be interested in helping in the kitchen they dont get to see everything that goes into a recipe and remember the bigger more apparent parts of the dish.

Have you ever asked why Eastern European recipes became like that? Cause USSR and empty food shelves. We all enjoy ānaturalā flavoured food after that due to generational trauma, I guess. We do have access to the Georgian cuisine, which is known for using a lot of herbs, but they can grow them all year long, while some of us been raised with 6 months of winter.

This is a great cultural anecdote! Iāve spent years as a cook/chef, and have a vested interest in different cuisines. Iām Western based, so we really have a lot of beef, cheese, butter/milk in our recipes.
I was born in Mexico, so really poor generally. I moved to the US a long time ago but my comfort foods still come from home. Steamed sweet potatoes in milk, Spanish rice w fresh banana slicesā¦the struggle was real
I know this cultural anecdote in different form: red and black caviar for some regions was cheaper than baby food or fresh fruits. My father due to his military career travelled a lot - so he would bring few kgs of it and we would trade it for something crazy - like 25kg of sugar that would last all winter. We also been considered poor since military wasn't the most paid job.
I feel so lucky my croatian dad knows how to cook, it's definitely not the norm. Most of his expat friends don't even wash their clothes, houses are filthy and they just eat out. They're all divorced, you tell me why.
I had a calisthenics fitness health nut friend. He would make really plain or super healthy meals like grilled chicken breast only seasoned by the flame or spirulina pasta and meatballs . Same thing zero seasonings not even salt. When I asked why donāt you use seasonings he said āI donāt need that, most seasonings have salt and I donāt want salt.ā No real reasoning other than probably thinking too much salt is not healthy, or he wanted to stay ripped. Then he murdered a girl and got life in prison.
Someone told me it was that they couldn't have salt. All the other seasonings would be fine, but adding enough salt to flavor the large amount of meat they have to eat to bulk their protein would spike their blood pressure to unhealthy levels. IDK about other spices, maybe it's just pointless to use other spices if you can't use salt?
I saw one of them on here talking about how the chemical compounds in cinnamon can cause cellular inflammation. It all just sounds like disordered eating to me.
I think it can go too far just because so much nutritional science is just junk.
I think what most bodybuilders do is ordered eating. It's ok to have a hobby and be passionate about what you do or do not put in your mouth. Being disciplined isn't a disorder. That just seems kinda rude and judgmental.
It's only when they fall down the rabbit hole of biased nutritional science blogs and personalities that promote their particular ideas it might get a bit out of control. You can find studies to support anything you want.
False. Salt allows the taste receptors on your tongue to taste a wider array of flavord, also making those flavors more intense. Properly seasoned food doesn't taste salty, it just tastes like more of itself. So salt is, quite literally, every flavor.
This is just gym bro misinformation. It does not take much salt to make your food acceptable, and if youāre working out so much you need that much food, youāre sweating so much youāll need more salt than the average person anyway
I was trying to be silly⦠but yes there are affordable spices. Everyone should at the very least have a stash of granulated garlic, garlic powder (different from the granulated garlic and unbelievably amazing), salt, pepper, Old Bay, rosemary, and thyme. Also crushed red pepper flakes, and curry powder, and cumin. Lots of cumin.
I have garlic powder, salt, pepper, chilli flakes and cumin. I didn't even know granulated garlic was a thing. I wouldn't buy two types of garlic. Rosemary and thyme I would only ever use on cooking lamb which is never. Don't know wtf I'd use old bay for.
I get decent spices in the Mexican aisle in grocery stores. They usually come in a cellophane package which makes them cheaper, then I just transfer them into older spice containers that I already have.
I buy my spices in bulk from Polish shops or Asian markets. Same with buckwheat. You can buy 12 x 500g bags for 4⬠or 10kg for 5ā¬. Same with chia seeds. You just need to know where to get them. Even Aldi would be overpriced for the quality they provide
Food becomes an obligatory chore, as opposed to an enjoyable indulgence. If u have to eat 6k calories a day with 3 protein heavy meals + snacks it's just not worth the effort apparently.
I guess doing it long enough u just stop caring about rotating the same few spice styles and just go the easiest, cheapest route cos no matter what it is you'll get sick of it long term
Even with flavor, the act of eating itself becomes a chore when you need to eat this many calories. If you're avoiding calorie dense foods and eating healthy, 6000 calories can easily be 6-7 large meals and can easily take 2+ hours of your day. That's why some top level bodybuilders do deranged things like blending their chicken rice meals and drinking it instead of eating
I definitely couldn't make this tradeoff to bodybuild, but that's their choice to make and as their regiment gets more intense surely they knew what they were signing up for
When you reach a certain level, eating is a chore to be done. The taste is meaningless, you have to eat specific things in big quantities and spices doesn't really make it better.
John Cena or The Rock are billionaire and I can safely assume they eat ton of bland food made by their chef.
Really, in the end, people are working hard toward a goal they consider important to themselves.
I think the logic is that it's easier to get down and quicker to prepare if the food is plain but calorie dense. I suppose it sort of makes sense when a lot of gym people eat pretty high volumes of food.
Iāve had a friend who does this claim itās because he doesnāt want to associate bulking food with something he likes, because then he would see the thing he likes as a chore to eat. Heās eating like 4-5 meals a day, plus things like snacks to keep himself going, and at that point youāre just shoveling food in. If you start to associate Cajun chicken or teriyaki beef or whatever as the bulk food, he feels like he would end up not wanting to eat it as a treat kind of thing.
I'm begging you to coo tye buckwheat with a stock cube and extra water so at elast it's moist (unless you enjoy rye dry buckwheat,I always like mine more wet than "proper"). Stoc. Use is such a cheat code for making it taste more fun
You definitely should! As a wifey of a 6ā3 110kg gym rat lad - this is my go to. Since I need to shovel ~5000 calories into this man every day šš„²
Now Iām picturing this poor woman shoveling buckwheat into her meathead husbandās mouth like sheās shoveling coal on a steam powered locomotive and heās the furnace and, of course, the buckwheat looks like baby teeth so the whole thing has a very upsetting āBaba Yagaā kinda vibe. Halloween was last month, yall.
You are not that far off, I need to run around the house with food and demand him to eat, asking 20 times a day if he is hitting his protein goal if he is one the office. Huge Addams family fan - Halloween every day for me š¤
Thank you, but yeah - if you need advice on how to bulk more effectively and save some money - you're welcome on my DM š I learned all min-max cheat codes by this stage
Buckwheat with meatballs. I've made it before. Delicious.
Toast the buckwheat first in a dry pot until it goes popcorn on your ass. Improves texture and you can leave more water in later without ending up with soggy porridge.
I thought barely but wasnāt sure. Glad I know itās buckwheat.
Iām a big fan of these whole grain oat type stuff. Even just a bit of butter or oil and salt and I enjoy them, toss in some mushrooms itās really all it needs. Maybe some fresh herbs.
Which one? You just linked me to the main page āŗļø
I was about to say I have never heard about farro, but thatās because itās called something completely different in my country lol
Yes, farro is amazing! You can actually make a really good ārisottoā with farro. The name for it makes more sense in my language, but I guess farrotto works as well
I don't know. I like it with just salt, minimal pepper, or a bouillon cube added to the water. Buckwheat isn't fancy, it doesn't need homemade stock. Sauce works too of course.
I prefer a fresh eggātakes about 5 minutes with a nonstick pan, slightly more with any other (I use stainless but not every does). Over easy so the yolk can give the rice a little extra flavor.
If you donāt want do do a fresh egg, I would boil, and then soak the egg in a soy sauce and spice mixture overnight for flavor. You can Google a soy egg recipe for that.

Yes. I second. There is absolutely nothing shitty about that. Actually, I eat this too. And quite often. Just add some broccoli for color and you're golden!
For the briefest second I thought that was garlic and thought I had finally found something with too much garlic. Not that I wouldn't try it anyway if it was garlic.
This is your mom speaking. Youāre online so much, look it up! Cooking aināt that hard!
What ingredients do you like / have on hand?
Type in hamburger, onion, catsup, oatmeal, get Quaker Oatsā oatmeal meatloaf recipe!
Get creative with ramen. My go-to dorm meal was picnic ham and broccoli in ramen. That was because picnic ham has enough preservatives to frighten a coroner, and it would be good til the next time I actually had money.
There is no excuse for boring. If itās not actually good to eat, at least itāll be good for a laugh.
Lol my husband would eat buckwheat everyday if it was up to him. Thats actually my theory on how maybe his t1 diabetes went undetected for so long. His favorite foods are a good diet... what a freak, huh? Jk lol

I prefer a fresh eggātakes about 5 minutes with a nonstick pan, slightly more with any other (I use stainless but not every does). Over easy so the yolk can give the rice a little extra flavor.
If you donāt want do do a fresh egg, I would boil, and then soak the egg in a soy sauce and spice mixture overnight for flavor. You can Google a soy egg recipe for that.

This is your mom speaking. Youāre online so much, look it up! Cooking aināt that hard!
What ingredients do you like / have on hand?
Type in hamburger, onion, catsup, oatmeal, get Quaker Oatsā oatmeal meatloaf recipe!
Get creative with ramen. My go-to dorm meal was picnic ham and broccoli in ramen. That was because picnic ham has enough preservatives to frighten a coroner, and it would be good til the next time I actually had money.
There is no excuse for boring. If itās not actually good to eat, at least itāll be good for a laugh.
