It's ugly, but it looks delicious to me.
Tasty!
I want to make that. It looks delicious. I've been really into sweet potato lately. It looks healthy, too. Kibble? what? No.
Futurama addressed "bachelor-chow" decades ago. London needs to get with the times.
News flash to lecture fems - eating a high protein diet is not a new trend.
Nope.
Kibble is dry and crunchy. That's not kibble.
Not too many real men are going to put in that much effort. Pre-cooked meatball bought by the bag, zapped in a microwave for 2 minutes with tomato sauce, then covered with mozzarella melted over it in a bowl is more like it.
Yes, I've eaten this forever, but I never saw it on line. Real men prefer sustenance over style, and it tastes good. It's nothing like dog food. Trust me. I know.
Corn beef hash and three eggs straight up.
Someone named "Eilidh". has thoughts.
cannot get past the her/his first sentence.
The ingredients list looks fine. It probably does taste pretty good.
Way too many ingredients, carbs and work for a real man. Mine is just the meat, cheese, and seasoning. Git-R-Done.
I would leave out the dijon mustard. I don't like that.
Hamburger, salt, and garlic, what more do you need?
Love the name, “boy kibble”! Girl kibble might be something like a chopped salad. We’re all just pets to our pets so let’s roll with it! Let’s all get in the feed bag and knock it off with all the culinary gourmet shenanigans….;)
It’s a guy thing. You wouldn’t understand.
"How do you handle a hungry man? The Manhandler!"
"It's not a Sandwich, it's a Manwich."
Some things never change.
My dog and I eat pretty much the same thing. I wish she would cook once in a while. She does clean the dishes to spotless. Does a better job than the dishwasher.
"Corn beef hash and three eggs straight up."
A fellow man of taste.
"This is a woman’s view of food for men."
That's what I see. The idea is right, but the execution is clearly female. Women never seem to grasp how simple we are. Think of a woman and take away everything that's not necessary for fun and survival.
Liver and onions is pretty easy to make.
Men are consciousness raising and are sick of being told what to do by low IQ women.

"Liver and onions is pretty easy to make."
I enjoy it with Fava beans and a nice Chianti. ffft, ffft, ffft.
That's way too much work for a young guy. Just fry up hamburger and onion. Thow in a can of beans and tomatoes. Add Chile powder. Enjoy.
Ate that all the time in college.
"an unseasoned batch of ground beef and very little else."
Yeah, you omit all reference to the considerable amount of seasonings, the sweet potatoes, the sauce, etc., and it is an "unseasoned batch of ground beef." The "very little else" is doing a lot of work here.
The article talks about chicken breasts. Chicken and rice is super-easy to make. Just put some curry powder on it.
Nobody better look up Maruchan's customer profile psychographics, nor focus on whether their largest customer cohort is men or women. That would be revealing. Don't do that.
I like Runza pocket burgers. Small fast food chain out of Nebraska. Not many left.
They mix ground beef with cabbage, onion and spices, and it sits inside of a tender doughy pouch. mmm.
I tired to find a hack recipe and discovered that the possible spice is "Old bay".. ?
In a dutch oven pot - I slow cook chopped onion and chopped cabbage until tender. That's it. Just those two.
then cook longer with dashes of old bay and lots of fresh ground pepper.. a bit of salt. Taste as you go. Old bay has a kick.
Add cooked vegan or real ground beef to the mixture... & after it's all mixed and caramelized... Make sammies.
That's it. - find a nice warm hoagie. Stuff it in there. Add nothing at all or add mayo and pickles. Yum.
Why garlic in everything? I hate garlic!
That looks like almost as much work to prepare as the shrimp and sausage jambalaya I made for Mardi Gras on Tuesday night. Which would I rather have? Like the Rep. Fine posed choice between dogs and muslims the other day, this one is easy. Dogs but not dog food.
Looks good to me, but it needs hot sauce.

I’ve said for years that women could rest much easier if they accepted that most men are just as simple as we seem.
We cook for you. shup up and eat.
Looks like upscale taco filling to me. Far fancier than what I make.
"We cook for you. shup up and eat."
A perfect pick up line to get a man home.
A certain sort of woman is disturbed by male self sufficiency.
On the main, I eat the same lunch and supper every day. Roasted veggies, bone broth and roasted drumsticks. The kids at work call it gobble-groul.
The linked article is just a woman complaining about a guy she used to date. That's it, that's the story.
The video is far from unseasoned ground beef and looks like it makes for a pretty good meal. But we're all supposed to hate on it because this author knew a guy who ate these unrelated chicken snacks.
" Pre-cooked meatball bought by the bag, zapped in a microwave for 2 minutes with tomato sauce, then covered with mozzarella melted over it in a bowl is more like it." Quick and easy. My sometimes lunch- or something similar
"Corn beef hash and three eggs straight up." I go with 2 eggs, poached. I use an egg poacher- have never mastered the art of cracking the eggs in boiling water then fishing them out with a slotted spoon- which my mother used to do.
"Liver and onions is pretty easy to make." and if you grease the pan enough easy to slide straight into the trash can. To each their own.
A cup of noodles, can of tuna fish, can of cream of chicken soup, and optional can of corn or peas- from start to finish under 15 minutes to make, and another 5 to finish eating.
A cup of McCormick brown gravy over the microwaved meatballs is pretty good, as is a cup of the same with a pound of cooked and drained ground beef, with or without added spices- spooned over toasted or untoasted bread.
A can of chicken breast mixed with a cup or poultry gravy over bread or mashed potatoes.
I've got lots of 15 minute from start to finish recipes. All pretty bland unless you want to add a lot of spices. Not my thing.
My son made some Korean burgers the other day. They were pretty good- far more spices then I ever use. Prep time and cooking almost an hour.
Diversity, diet, and prejudice.
Another one from college:
Boil Shrimp
Cook rice
Mix together - throw in some soy sauce and whatever.
In The Accidental Tourist, when they weren't eating Thanksgiving Dinner, they ate "gorp."
I have a 12 year old granddaughter and an 11 year old grandson. Both live in London. When they visit grandpa in Los Angeles, I make danged sure that they are learning how to cook. Start with cookies, move on to pasta and chili. A month ago the two of them made a pasta carbonara dinner for their parents, complete with wine, salad and dessert. Grandson dressed up as a sommelier to pour the wine. They will likely live alone for a while as young adults, and they will be able to cook for themselves. Boy kibble? I've made something like that since I was in college long ago.
A lot of my favorite comfort recipes are hamburger, onion and garlic. I then will add a couple of more things for variety. Spinach, peppers, bacon, potatoes, beans.... The combos are almost endless.
My kids referred to these dishes as hamburger glop.
Eggs are a bachelor's best friend.
Advice to the ladies: If you don't cook it and don't eat it, shut up. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
shhh most women don't know that all they need to lure a man is no dark house and pots not cold.
Quaestor - well played. #
Three pounds ground beef. Four packets Taco Bell seasoning. Follow instructions on the packet...
Yum!
I make something similar with chili spices and hotter seasonings. I leave out the starch. It's delicious and lasts for 3 or 4 days. The wife won't touch it.
chuck said, "Eggs are a bachelor's best friend."
When I wasn't laid, I ate four dozen eggs
Every bachelor seeks to get large
And now that I'm laid, I eat five dozen eggs
An egg's friendship men never discharge
What a weird and petty article. Just sounds like mean-spirited jealousy to me. She's bizarrely trying to make something very pedestrian and normal (and good?) into being considered some sort of disgusting red flag--probably out of insecurity with how low-effort and uninspired her "girl dinners" look by comparison ("cheese, biscuits, etc.").
When talking about "rice, mince, eggs and vegetables" or "baked chicken breasts and vegetables" (healthy meals that hit multiple food groups), which is economically and responsibly cooked at home and "carried in tupperware" (the horror!) to be eaten later by these disgusting man-pigs, she describes it as:
- "Like dog food but worse"
- "Boy kibble"
- "Slop-like appearance"
- "Miscellaneous meat"
- "Strange habit" that should be done "behind closed doors"
I'm just not seeing the connection....
Ok so the ex-boyfriend carrying the (cooked) chicken breast around "in his pocket" and eating it when hungry is pretty unconventional, but that has nothing to do with a broader concept of "boy dinner", "kibble" or "slop" that she's trying to paint.
Same as many others here. Brown the ground beef, add diced onion, drain the fat. Add teriyaki/soy/tabasco and eat. Side of 3-4 Zesta crackers to mop up. About $8 using good beef. 90 grams of protein. 850-900 calories. And same as above. Wife does not eat this - more for me.
Boyfriend was being literal. As a writer she should have appreciated him for it. What better place to put a chicken breast than in a breast pocket.
I used to go backpacking with a friend in the Angeles Crest Mountains in L.A.. We would only take canned sardines, gorp, rum, Kool-Aid mix and water. That would be it for days. Anything tastes good with a tired body, and a campfire.
Hardly seems unseasoned. It looks tasty to me.
@Gospace:"... I use an egg poacher- have never mastered the art of cracking the eggs in boiling water then fishing them out with a slotted spoon..."
Perfect poached eggs every time: Crack the egg into a small bowl. Boil a saucepan full of water (with 2 tablespoons of white vinegar), at least 2-3" deep. Once gently boiling, use a fork or spoon and stir the pot. Get the water moving in a circle, enough to form a top-to-bottom whirlpool in the middle. Once you have the whirlpool going, gently drop the egg in, from the bowl. The whirlpool will keep the egg in the center, nicely consolidated until the white begins congealing. Let it cook to suit and it's all ready to retrieve.
That horsemeat canned dog food was pretty tasty back in the days of feeding neighbors dogs
"and very little else." Ms. Dorgan is lying, and very little else.
@Howard, Bachelor Chow, Now With Flavor! Makes It's Own Gravy!
She's had a particular, pethaps peculiar experience, and publishes with explicit Diversity motives following popular style guidelines.
The author doesn't travel amongst female fitness influencers, as most lifters are constantly chasing daily protein goals - women included. Lot's of meat, meat and more meat....for all!

Hold on a sec, do you know Shelly? Didn't know it was a dog food sandwich she made for me until all the other kids started laughing. Wasn't bad up to that point.
It looks like something Chipotle would have on their menu… actually… withdrawn… it’s something Taco Bell would have on their menu.
What is the sweat potato for? So you can stay fat?
Also he cooked it way too much.
Make sure to use lots of salt.
Just add an egg to that. Maybe cheese. Pickles are good on the side.
It's called Ground Beef and it provides the most balanced nutrition you could ever hope for. Well, if she don't want it, that means more for me.
“What is the sweet potato for?”
Sweet potatoes in everything now. Sweet potato lobby has gone into overdrive.
Yes, sweet potatoes are an excellent source of gut-healthy soluble fiber (specifically pectin) and insoluble fiber, containing about 4-6 grams of total fiber per cooked medium potato. This combination supports digestion by acting as a prebiotic that feeds beneficial gut bacteria, reduces inflammation, and promotes regular bowel movements.

Key Gut Health Benefits of Sweet Potato Fiber:
Soluble Fiber (Pectin): Forms a gel-like substance in the gut, which helps soften stool and slows digestion to balance blood sugar levels.
Insoluble Fiber: Adds bulk to stool, helping to keep the digestive tract moving and prevent constipation.
Prebiotic Power: The fiber and carbohydrates, such as oligosaccharides and resistant starch, feed beneficial gut bacteria like Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus.
Short-Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs): The fermentation of this fiber in the colon produces SCFAs, which are crucial for maintaining a healthy, non-leaky gut lining.

For maximum benefit, it is recommended to consume the skin of the sweet potato, as it holds a significant portion of the fiber and nutrients.

Don't listen to me. Look at 2-million years of evolutionary adaptations
Based on the evidence regarding the diet of Homo erectus, it is highly probable that they consumed wild, starchy tubers—a category that includes ancestors of the modern sweet potato—as part of a varied, opportunistic diet.

Here are the details:
Dietary Habits: Homo erectus (living ~1.9 million to 110,000 years ago) were omnivores who heavily exploited various plants, nuts, and underground storage organs (roots and tubers).
Root Consumption: Evidence from tooth-wear patterns suggests that early human ancestors regularly consumed underground tubers.
Cooking Evidence: Homo erectus is strongly associated with the early, consistent use of fire for cooking. Cooking tubers, such as wild sweet potatoes, makes them significantly easier to digest and releases more calories.
Evolutionary Context: While the modern, highly cultivated sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is much younger (cultivated around 2500–1850 BCE), its wild, tougher progenitors were a likely, nutritious food source available in African savanna environments during the Pleistocene.

They also ate meat marrow and organs. Fruit honey and nuts for dessert. IOW Boy Kibble
Did he say 20 minutes at 390 degrees? In my air fryer, the sweet potatoes would be ash.
Sweet potato baby
Rover. That's the name of the dog share/ dog babysit site.
it only took me a few weeks to remember
'...Homo erectus consumed wild, starchy tubers...'
i bet the did.
There is a reason so few Homo erectus are around today. I blame sweet potatoes.
Gorp. Not heard that word in a while.
Do we call it trail mix now? So we don't offend the nuts?
Jon Krakauer thinks the kid in "Into the Wild" died from eating the wrong kind of wild, starchy tubers.
Our Gorp was basic, just M&Ms + Peanuts + granola.
I made it to for dinner. It is delicious and beautiful if you don’t mix it like ice cream and chocolate syrup.
Gorp: peanuts, raisins and M&Ms. Great road snack.
Girl dinners? One of diverse Epstein euphemisms.
Dietary genderflecting.

"I've said for years that women could rest much easier if they accepted that most men are just as simple as we seem"
What do you mean by that?
TikTok recipes are way beyond my ability to prepare, let alone indulge in the chance that I might like them, when in fact I would screw up the preparation phase and end up overcooking the whole mess when the deal is done.
I buy a large tray of the cheapest decent steaks at Costco, usually choice sirloin, then grill it all, put it in the fridge, and snack on slices most days. Sometimes a piece of fruit afterwards. Lasts a couple of weeks and usually allows me to make it from breakfast to dinner with nothing else.
How did men survive before leftist white women appointed themselves as food nannies and policed what we eat?
My husband has always thought Purina should sell a product called "Man Chow."
