Limited Budget Challenge: 2 days, £4, Ambient Vegan, with Foraging - Day 1

Thu, 03 Nov 2022 11:54:18 +0000

This is day 1 of an exercise in which I set myself the task of cooking 6 different meals on a total budget of £4
As usual, there will be rules and permissions - this time though, no animal products, and ambient (shelf-stable) purchased products only.
This video contains the shopping, some foraging and Day 1 of the menu. Teleportation is permitted.

It's important to note: this is NOT an attempt to 'play at being poor'* (although it did make me appreciate things that I normally take for granted), NEITHER is it an attempt to 'prove that people on benefits could get by with less' (in fact if anything, it proves the opposite - because this was a difficult thing to do - that's why it's called a 'challenge').
Primarily, this is an exercise that I set myself specifically to try to provoke a creative response; to nurture or develop transferrable skills of creativity and adaptability.

*nor in this case, make any kind of statement about vegan diets.
