The Bialetti Pasta Pot can be used for potatoes or veggies too.

Yes. The idea having a lid with some holes to make it much easier to the strain your cooking is however not known to so many. Why? I have no idea.

And the lid locks in place too, the whole pot is very light and the handles don't get hot. Not bad for about $30.

I'm not sure how.

Meatloaf?

It wasn't until I got to the last line and realized you were talking about how to stretch your food budget......
Go to a local food bank?
Rice, dried beans, beef bullion cubes?

Pöpcørn? Aha. The Swedish Chef maybe isn't so Swedish after all. He's Norwegian as well:)

How well can you understand what the chef is saying?

The Muppet Show is subtitled when they show it here. No, I don't understand anything. :)
Actually it's all gibberish and it's also strange that the chef sing like some German songs. But I think I read somewhere that Jim Henson came up with the character when visiting Hamburg in Germany.
There is also another funny theory.
Chef Lars "Kuprik" Bäckman claims that he is an inspiration to the Swedish Chef. He was struck by stage fright at a brief feature in the American TV Morning Show in 1969 and made no more than incomprehensible sounds. However, the fact that Swedish Chef had something to do with the incident is denied by scriptwriter Jerry Juhl, who worked closely with puppet creator Jim Henson

In case any wonder, Popcorn is also the Swedish and Norwegian name for popcorn and pronounced the same. Like Cörn Fläkes for that matter:)

We in Sweden love crawfish just as in Louisiana.

Then I guess you guys don't eat oysters alive as well...
And fish as well that are left to suffocate for some minutes before the die whereas crawfish and lobsters dies after a few seconds...

If we are going to debate the morality of how you prepare your food, it should probably spin off into a separate thread.

I am an omnivore like everyone but I have been eating meat substitutes a little more frequently. Found a Veggie Pattie (Hamburger substitute) at First Watch that reminds me enough of a hamburger that I have been eating it.

I'm thinking of going from fish back to chicken like My brother made it this month if My budget allows it, He'd buy some Foster Farms skinless and boneless chicken breasts or at least skinless chicken, put each one in a sandwich bag, store the bagged chicken parts in the freezer, then cook them as needed sans bag on something microwave safe in the microwave for 5-6 minutes on high for dinner, yes they should be fully cooked, test them with a knife, if they're not done pop them back in for a minute until done.

I agree with the omnivore bit. I look at food like going on a safari. It is all a target of opportunity.

Ok. We in the Nordic countries have some very odd fish dishes. Like Surströmming, Lutefisk, Hákarl that are traditional dishes. It demands an acquired taste though. But Japanese people seems to like it as well.
However Kalles Kaviar, Swedish lightly smoked cod roe. The Japanese don't approve that at all. Very strange...
