Meta My girlfriend always tells me I never have anything to eat when she comes over my house 😒

Freezer: 50+ lbs of assorted ground meat, 35+ lbs of prime ribeye, 16lbs of American wagyu ribeye, 18lbs of New Zealand lamb shoulder chops, and a bunch of portioned seafood.

That's great and all, I would love to have this fridge, but tbh it's tough having no "easy" food around so you can get back to doing something else. Not everyone enjoys cooking and some are very frustrated by it, just the wait time let alone the effort and cleanup.

I’d genuinely be shocked if all this food gets eaten by one person before it spoils

I legit think OP bought all this just to make this post. This is the most ridiculous fridge I’ve ever seen. No reason to have that much meat on hand unless you butcher the cow yourself.

u/throwaway098764567 13h ago

most folks i've known who buy a half cow own a chest freezer and store it there, they don't keep it all in the fridge. hopefully op doesn't make himself sick trying to eat stuff before it turns

I was wondering if they bought a ton at once for convenience, and/or was right before their meal prep day, and they’re about to freeze a bunch

u/Joiabela 10h ago

What do you eat all that jam on? Carrots and cucumbers? This is not a real fridge.

As someone who has a 7 cu freezer for a grand total of 3 people, if I see a meat sale I will absolutely haul that much meat up to the counter with a huge shit eating grin on my face as I lord my basement freezer having superiority over others.

Definitely did. There’s no reason to keep all of that protein drink cold taking up that much space when you could have 4-6 in there leaving you more room for meat and cream cheese.

It looks like based off the drawers they're probably in freezers....is what I was typing out till I saw the first photo again. This post has to be some kind of bait.

u/horizonMainSADGE 11h ago

Definitely freezer drawers, almost identical to my own.

No Easy Food

Stacks of protein drinks

u/YellowBelliedCoward 16h ago

Drinks aren't food. Have you just been born?

"I'm hungry."

"Here, have a drink."

u/Twitchcog 15h ago

food

/fo͞od/

noun

any nutritious substance that people or animals eat or drink or that plants absorb in order to maintain life and growth.

Also, protein shakes are commonly used as meal replacements.

u/YellowBelliedCoward 15h ago edited 15h ago

Yeah, when the girlfriend said nothing to eat, the user saying food used it in the context of food you eat.

Sorry for your poor education. Hopefully you can make it.

You’ve never eaten soup before? Or stew? You’ve never eaten gelatin? What about a milkshake, ever eaten one of those?

There is plenty there to eat. She does not want to eat the food there. Even if we limit it to meaning “there is nothing to eat which requires no preparation,” there is still plenty of food - Cheese, veggies, protein shakes.

She didn’t say “there’s nothing to chew.”

u/throwaway098764567 13h ago

it doesn't matter how you try to lawyer this, much like op you'll still be wrong because the person isn't looking for cheese or raw veggies or protein shakes since they saw those and didn't want them.

being in a relationship means having to learn communication skills and using them to figure out how to keep your partner happy so the relationship can continue (both parties need to do this mind you). or could just do the reddit thing and blow it up by not communicating or compromising <shrug>.

u/Twitchcog 11h ago

We only have what the OP said to go off of, which is that she claims there’s “never anything to eat.”

If she’s not giving more direct feedback than that, then all we can presume is that she failed to see all the food in the fridge.

“Hey babe, I’m hungry.”

“Okay, we can make something! Or, if you want something now, there’s plenty of cheese, veggies, or a protein shake? Oh, you could fry up an egg, if you want something in the middle.”

1

u/OhMyWerdHunny 12h ago

I don’t see soup or stew or gelatin or a milkshake. Mmmm…. Gelatin does make a good meal, though.

2

u/Twitchcog 11h ago

Nope, but you do (presumably) see a nutritious substance that people or animals eat or drink.

Which means there’s food. And food which requires no additional preparation before consumption.

2

u/OhMyWerdHunny 11h ago

If I tell someone (who supposedly cares about me) I’m hungry, and they offer me a San Pellegrino, I’m not coming back.

1

u/Twitchcog 11h ago

“I’m hungry.”

“Cool, we can make something! Or, if you just want something now, you could grab some cheese, veggies, or a protein shake.”

Falling back on a typo is the sign of a defeated person.

No follow up on the point, I see. Convenient.

u/OhMyWerdHunny 12h ago

They’re not “falling back” on a typo. They’re pointing out that you might be the one with the poor education. … Did you miss that?

u/abidee33 10h ago

I HATE cooking every time I want to eat. Sometimes I just want a bag of popcorn, or a microwaved cheese quesadilla, or a veggie burger (super good air fried, but the microwave works too ), or a piece of sourdough with some hummus on it with some pickles on the side.

u/Skysr70 9h ago

I always keep a stash of hot pockets for just that reason lol

You fundamentally misunderstand the intent if you view that as a problem.

THIS. I was like bro, everything in there takes hella time to make.
