Is Duncan Donuts still a thing in the US?

 

[Paradoxium]

Deliciously crafted meals take time.

I'm not going to make one on the way to college when I can grab a sausage mc muffin (no egg) for $1 each.

I would actually buy my college's food as it's all technically homemade right there. It's very good too.

Problem though.

A SMALL FRIED BURRITO COSTS $2.
A PANCAKE BREAKFAST COSTS $6.
EVERYTHING IS OVERPRICED.

Buy a meal plan, 360 kitchen access basically for free. (well pre paid)

I forgot myself lol. The curse of the Midwest. Also I know the South Dakota guys used to hit up our smash tournaments a while back cause we were the closest to them IDK about the North Dakota folk though?

well ya know it's like an extra 3 hours or so of driving. I mean if I was going to go to any regional tournaments it'd be twin cities but I often don't have the dosh/time to drive 4-5 hours down to Minneapolis.
Also twin cities traffic isn't fun.

Dunkin' Donuts. And yes. There are about 15 within ten minutes of my house.

I think there might be 15 left in all of Canada, hence me not spelling the name right. Seriously, Tim Hortons utterly destroyed Dunkin up here, it's not even funny. The few that are left might as well become landmarks at this point.

Cooking is secretly pretty easy. Just find recipies for what you want to eat and follow them. Cooking with dog master race

Yeah, when I went to Canada, people legitimately gave directions using Tim Hortons. "Go down this street until you get to the third Tim Hortons. Then make a right. You'll pass another Tim Hortons, and then it will be on your left. If you get to a second Tim Hortons, you've gone too far."

The other part I remember of my trip to Canada was getting poutine. A lot of poutine.

I'm guessing you came over here to Quebec, right?

And I just noticed that the banner at the top of the page features PM Roy! I feel so proud.

Quebec. And Ottawa, Ontario.

Poutine is amazing. I don't think I could get enough of it.

The most that I would want to cook in a normal school day morning would be some bacon, a grilled ham & cheese sandwich, put the bacon on that, throw on some Jalapenos and maybe some mustard.

Anything more would be making an effort, not to mention the fact that the skillet would need to be washed before I left as well.

The lazy struggle is real

 

[GP&B]

My lady's getting me into Cooking With Dog, that dog is so ****ing chill.

 

[Ginge]

The most I'd be looking to cook in the morning would be a bagel. The extent of dinner cooking would be making some pasta or chicken nuggets. I know you CAN cook on a budget. But I'm not the best at cooking. I've charcoaled a Cup Noodles and an Ellio's pizza before (separate occasions). I get fast food for speed, convenience, and the fact that I can't cook.

That's the point of the slow cooker, though. Throw everything into the pot, add water, set it for however many hours you want it to cook for and leave it. Should probably get one that turns off by itself after being set to cook so you won't have to keep track of the time. As for breakfast, eggs take literally minutes to cook and honestly the better snack would be your favorite nuts or some fruit. All that fast food really is overpriced and they try to make it sound like it's so cheap. "Only a buck!" You can quite literally feed yourself food infinitely healthier for a few cents per serving. You can also just search for quick and healthy breakfast tips and probably get like a million, this is why google is there.

Upstate NY has a pretty even split of Dunkin Donuts and Tim Hortons.
Timmy Ho's master race tho

For breakfast you can make yourself some eggs in the time it takes for the toaster to brown a bagel. Or some oatmeal. Or all of the above, throw in some good juice, and BAM pretty balanced breakfast that will keep you very full for most of the day. AKA what I do most mornings. Takes like 3 minutes to make.

 

[Empyrean]

Poutine is amazing. I don't think I could get enough of it.

I must be the only dude here who absolutely despises poutine. Two bites and I'm already full for the day, no joke. Then again, I barely do eat fast food (like once a year maybe?), so my tolerance for greasy dishes is already pretty poor.

 

[Plum]

there's a food truck in my city that only serves various takes on poutine
it's magic
also it's name is le petit poutine, which is adorable

 

[Guilu]

Is it still adorable if I tell you Poutine is how they write Putin's name in France ?

 

[Ginge]

I go to diners in Jersey and get Disco Fries. Fries with mozzarella cheese and chicken gravy. They are a poor substitute for poutine, but good enough to get by. I think there's a rule that food has to be horrible for people for me to like it

his poutine must be pretty petit from all that swimming

Slow cooker isn't a method but an actual thing?
You mean I'd have to BUY it?

It's John time : Cooking edition.

I'm too lazy to do that slow cooker thing, and I don't want to buy it.
Banana with Peanut butter? Disgusting.
Buying Yogurt? In my house? It will be gone in a day.
I've never actually had a reheated boiled egg. I like them right when they are done but I'm not picky.
Literally a bowl of normal cereal would be easier to make.
Veggies in the morning? PFFFFFFFFT.
Trail mix is problematic. I love it so it's bound to be eaten at extremespeeds. Not sure if I should be doing that.

If I have to pre-prepare it, I probably won't do it. I'm the master procrastinator. I still have two homework assignments that I've had all yesterday and today to do that still haven't been started.

All those things in the third recipe look like a lot of work. But I'm stealing that American berry Parfait recipe.

Making "poutine" with grated cheese is a crime against humanity. Cheddar cheese curds or nothing.

I look at disco fries as an inferior alternative, but still a separate entity. Like Brawl compared to Melee or Project M. I mean, it's still decent. And it's okay to have every now and then if I don't have something better nearby.

 

[Saito]

I just googled Poutine.

I was not aware of this Canadian slop.
#ShotsFired

Joking aside, it does NOT look appealing.

 

[shairn]

A restaurant near my college serves a variety of poutine, and their namesake poutine is made with added sausage and fried chicken, and served with coleslaw on the side. "Traditionally", the coleslaw is mixed into the poutine before eating. It looks like a complete mess, but it's so good.

 

[Ginge]

Fries taste really good with cheese. Fries taste really good with gravy. Fries with both are orgasmic.

Slow cooker is the ultimate lazy. All you do is throw ingredients and water in, press buttons, and procrastinate do whatever you want for like 4-8 hours. Can easily ask for it as a birthday/Christmas gift silly

Buying Yogurt? In my house? It will be gone in a day.
Literally a bowl of normal cereal would be easier to make.
Trail mix is problematic. I love it so it's bound to be eaten at extremespeeds. Not sure if I should be doing that.

If you like it, get it. Buy enough of what you eat at extreme speeds and you'll eventually even out (I've done this with food and drinks (yes, green machine) alike)

I refuse to buy food that will be eaten by everyone but me. I have people to buy food for me, not the other way around.

Yogurt is a target for my sister.
Cereal is a target for my Niece and brothers.
Trail mix is a target for everyone. Because who doesn't love trail mix?

I eat a bowl of rice, eggs, bacon, and a cup of miso soup almost every morning. Only takes 15 mins ish to make and it has enough calories to get me through most of the day. Also coffee

Dont be hating on coffee. Its my lifeblood

Drinking Coffee would be like me playing against your R.O.B.

A deathwish.

 

[Plum]

I love the taste of coffee, but I'll be damned if I damned if I turn myself into one of "those" people.
I don't drink it in the morning anymore. I started to in college and found myself basically dependent on it to wake up.
Now it's basically like chocolate (dark or gtfo) to me. Sometimes I just have a craving that needs a fixing so I treat myself to a nice espresso or something.

 

[| Kailex |]

I only drink cold coffee, hot coffee is just, meh

 

[Spoon~]

Coffee breakfast lunch and dinner. Hook it to my veins.

I've been told that Coffee improves your tech skill.

Wow you held out on us when you housed us. You gave us everything BUT the miso... What a jerk...

 

[Saito]

PMBR wasn't housed to 100% efficiency?

A rob nerf is in order.

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

I haven't had coffee in years. Get at me

Actually.... I've said that a lot. I don't think anyone could name a mainstream/fast food that I've had recently, lol (besides eggs)

Ahh, I thought you meant you were eating it. XD Well... make some weird unheard of food that they've never seen before that's actually delicious? Chances are they won't touch it cause they don't know what it might taste like.

 

[Oracle]

Does this mean if I cook a perfect breakfast next time rob will get all the buffs?
