MacGyver meals
After getting way too off topic in another thread i'm making a thread to talk about all the amazing tricks you know for preparing a meal with limited ingredients or things you normally wouldn't cook dinner with.
Here's my recipe for:
Step 1:
Go to the local shop and buy some handmade dumplings. You're Macgyver now so you have to use your environment... and paperclips to your advantage.
Step 2:
Put the dumplings in the microwave in some boiling water... bonus points if you boiled the water with jetfuel or something else really cool. I was out of jet fuel so i used a Kettle. Cook on high for 8 minutes.
Step 3:
Drain the dumplings from the water with an elaborate and unecessary system of spatulas. Fry in a sandwich toaster for a couple of minutes or untill nice and crispy.
Step 4:
Fashion a crappy fork out of a paperclip. You have real forks... but you're MacGyver... so paperclips.
I will update this with pics after i do this again.
Plx share your macgyver cooking skills.
@j95 okay so it's technically a """"granola"""" but the one I took to work is called Five AM Organic and I would get the coconut and cocoa flavour. It's pretty pricey for cereal though, so try not to eat it too fast. Otherwise I usually like Sultana Bran or Nutrigrain
All this talk of cereal made me go and get another bowl of Weetbix... Not complaining 😛
I used to love fruit loops as a kid. The siblings and I would always fight over who would have the last bowl, because then you'd get all the sugar at the bottom 😛 (so healthy :D)
I definitely MacGyver quite a few of my dinners, although I feel like I'm sort of at an advantage flavour-wise since my mum literally gave me a box of spices to use as a parting gift when I moved out. You can improve even the most bizarre meal with enough chili.
@j95 I used to take this coconut and chocolate muesli to work as a (sort of) healthy snack, although sometimes I'd take milk from the work fridge and eat it like regular cereal if there wasn't much work happening. I am an advocate of dry cereal consumption
My mates and I went camping a few weeks ago and someone forgot the cutlery (not me....) so we ate our dinner with the spare tent pegs 😛
Totally not the point of this thread, but everytime I hear MacGyver I think of Patty and Selma from The Simpsons 😛
I scored free cocoa pops from the free breakfast table yesterday, filled up a container with them (dry) and ate them with the container lid for lunch the next day, does that count??
@DruidChild I normally eat dry cereal with my fingers 😛 maybe I should try using a container lid instead - much more skill involved in that 😄
Oooooh I enjoy dry cereal as well @lokifish @DruidChild although for me it has to be cornflakes or sometimes Nutri-Grain.
Also, from the sounds of it I'll have to start replacing my forks with tent pegs and paperclips!
PETITION TO BAN ALL FORKS FROM RO! 😛
AND ANOTHER PETITION TO MAKE EATING DRY CEREAL MANDATORY! 😛
And yes to dry cereal! :D:D
@N1ghtW1ng on the few occasions where all the spoons have been in the dishwasher, I have been known to eat cereal with a fork... hahaha that's my MacGyver food tip 😛
Huh, so you weren't kidding about your MacGyver cooking skills @Ben-RO 😛 I'm going to have to start eating with paperclips - forks are far too obvious an eating utensil.
(Additionally, who is MacGyver? Is this one of those pop culture references that goes straight over my head?)
