So I noticed that a lot of the people that find this site are searching on google for man food. This website comes up on the second page of google results for man food. When I was creating this site, I was focused on the “Lazy Man” portion of Lazymanfood. I was trying to create a site geared towards lazy men. But actually, when I think about it, the “Man Food” part is pretty appealing too.

What is man food exactly? It’s hard to pin it down exactly, but certain foods definitely come to mind when we hear the words “man food.” We usually think of foods like burgers and corn dogs, or foods like stews and chili. Barbecue also comes to mind when we think of man food. What true man doesn’t salivate when he thinks of barbecued ribs with tangy barbecue sauce or perfectly grilled steaks seasoned with the perfect dry rub? Or what about a nice hearty bowl of stew? They all sound really good.

So in the next few days, (if I’m not lazy) I will put up some recipes for the man who likes his man food. Don’t worry, they should still be easy enough for us lazy men.

Often when I watch a cooking show, I’m amazed by how much a little bit of oil or a little bit of butter is. Maybe it’s because I’m asian, and everything’s a little smaller in Asia (insert dirty joke here), but a little bit of butter on a cooking show looks like a huge glob to me. That’s probably why I can’t make stuff like Alfredo sauce well– the fat content matters a lot in those creamy white sauces.

On the other hand, I’m amazed by how small a “good amount” of garlic is. When cooking shows say to use a good amount of garlic, it looks like a tiny amount to me. A good amount of cooking show garlic seems like a tablespoon, I usually use at least 3 times that much.

It’s amazing how different eastern and western cooking differs. I’ll try to put recipes inspired by both eastern and western styles, but I’ll leave it to the reader to decide how much a “little bit of butter” or a “good amount of garlic is.”

This is an interesting article about fresh food vs frozen or canned food.
True or false: Fresh Food Is Better Than Frozen or Canned Food

For the lazy, here’s the gist of the article.

The general consensus is that fresh fruits and vegetables are more nutritious than frozen or canned produce. However it seems that it’s not always the case. Since fresh food travels far to get to you whereas canned and frozen foods are processed immediately, the nutritional value may be higher for canned or frozen food. And the canning or freezing process leaves nutritional value intact for the most part.

So what does this mean for us lazy men?
We don’t need to go to the supermarket every other day to buy fresh vegetables and fruits. We can stock up on canned or frozen foods every once in a while, so that we always have what we need in our pantry or freezer. As an added bonus, frozen or canned vegetables are often cheaper than fresh.
