Grains!

General
Barley is good for satiety and economy, lentils for protein, bulgur and buckwheat for breakfasts (with oil and seasoning), and quinoa is pretentious. Oats are boring.
Rice is a bitchy piece of shit who only wants to infect you because it DOES NOT want reheating.... Do not do rice i made lovely fried rice but it stank of dog after only TWO DAYS in a FRIDGE.
Rye is my spirit grain because it was originally disliked and a weed but now has become an important and celebrated part of varied diets because it figured out how to make itself useful!
grains have saved my wallet and you should learn them too they're the best
And then there's wheat which is ok for flours and for some grain spirits and drinks, i guess...? Whiskey can be made from barley if you take care to malt it so the starches become more sugary! I've been doing some home ferments and honey makes a very floral and nice drink and sugar makes what's best described as "yeast soda with a punch". Be careful because whiskey tastes like floor varnish!!! Vodka is just alcohol so it's to-the-point and succinct. That's valuable!
DO NOT tell my landlord that i have about 7 old Dawtona soured gherkin jars containing cucumbers in a 4% brine because they will NOT understand because nobody here understands fermentation :((.
I'm not sure if you can cook rye and eat it alone because i haven't seen it offered at the he-wolf Tesco superstore here :( but i'd love to and then it'd mean i can save my rye bread for some good kvass lmao.
