@kaia I used to be on an equivalent, GoodFood, that had comparable prices. While it'll definitely come out more expensive than thoughtfully planned meals from the grocery store, I found it cheaper than mindlessly buying things at the grocery store and not knowing what I'll do with them, healthier than frozen meals and cheaper and healthier than ordering from restaurants. It's also nice to cook some things you might not have tried otherwise, learn some new cooking tricks (I learned to oven bake breaded chicken with mayo to make some amazing quasi-fried chicken). You keep the recipies after, and unlike the recipies from a cooking book, you've made and tasted them all. If HelloFresh is like the one I was on, their "DRM", their attempt to lock you out of making their recipies outside of their kits is gonna be their spice mixes, which all the recipies will require one of, but honestly if you have a little bit of cooking experience you'll be able to replace them easily (I think some people publish their recreations of the blends online too)
@guizzy@kaia I tried to subscribe to something similar that would deliver already made meals for lunch at work, but I have allergy and their stipulation is "they can't guarantee they won't send something I'm allergic to" which is utter bullshit
@kaia I don't know how it compares to your BF's appetite, but I always found the portions generous enough. They aren't the bullshit "recommended portion" on dietary information on meals that are set too small to make food look less bad than it is (like the box of Kraft Dinner that I can easily eat on my own being supposedly "4 portions"). One meal kit portion for me was a decent portion I was always fine with.
@coolboymew@guizzy@kaia >"they can't guarantee they won't send something I'm allergic to" That's either because they most likely subcontract or because they don't trust employees or because they don't want to take any risk insurances/legal wise.
@mangeurdenuage@guizzy@kaia ça aide contre les réaction allergique? J'parle pas de truc du genre du pollen, je parle de réaction allergique plus sérieuses
Après ça coûte rien d'en avoir sous la main et d'essayer lorsque tu a besoin, le produit n'a aucun effet négatif.
>je parle de réaction allergique plus sérieuses Je ne saurais dire malheureusement, bien que ce soit un traitement qui soit connue depuis Mathusalem le monde dit moderne n'a pas l'air d'avoir documenter plus profondeur ce produit.
