The Ultimate Mustachian Food Guide

(1/7) > >>

Quinn:
So, I love food and I probably spend more time than I should thinking about what to eat. The MMM forum has been a great place for me to optimize my food budget and try out new recipes. Russ has created the amazing Mustachian Recipe Index, but there are so many other great non-recipe-related threads about food. I've always had trouble remembering threads that I've read, so I've decided to compile all the food-related discussions we've had in the forums.

I've done my best to comb through the threads but I've definitely missed a few threads here and there - let me know if I've missed anything and I can update this post with new links. Suggestions about the organization of the threads will be welcome too. Thanks!

Edit: The list is complete as of 10/20/15. I'll come back and update it after a few months!

Edit (8/10/21): Final update of this list. That's it for me - hope this remains useful for everyone!

forummm:
Wow, that's a lot of threads! Do mustachians do anything but eat and talk about eating?

scrubbyfish:
Acorn, that food guide is AMAZING!!! Thank you so much, on behalf of all the people who will gain from it, for doing this!

I hope the mods make it a sticky somewhere.

Idea: Food budget by region. e.g., Folks in Canada rely on some very different approaches than folks in the continental US can get away with, so there've been some threads specific to that. Maybe the next person doing a search for that, or any other region of the world, could compile its list into the format you've developed.
