I have a theory that there is a impossible trinity (like in economics), where a food cannot be delicious, cheap and healthy at the same time. At maximum 2 of the 3 can be achieved.
Is there any food that breaks this theory?
Edit: I was thinking more about dishes (or something you put in your mouth) than the raw substances
Some popular suggestions include
- fruits (in season)
- lentils, beans
- rice
- mushrooms
Agreed. Beans can easily be dressed up and made delicious with just a few spices for very cheap, and are very healthy.
I wish I knew how to cook instead of college, instead of falling for the “rice and beans are awful poverty food” meme.
Rice and beans are amazing. I’m an adult with a good job, and I still eat rice and beans. I just know how to cook them now.
