I'm as anti-capitalist as it comes but how the hell would this even last half a week, let alone a night with the vodka, rice, and sweets

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago

These are just the goods that are rationed/limited. These were the goods with the highest demand and lowest supply. There are unrationed goods that could still be purchased, like potatoes.

[-] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 3 days ago

This makes so much more sense.

[-] ComradeMiao@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 days ago

Didn’t know! I limited potatoes sounds good

The rice is about 6 us measuring cups worth, and 1 cup is enough for 2 people to have a meal after it soaks up a bunch of water (plus a bit little vodka and sugar for taste).

The Flour can make several loaves of bread as well, it's about 5000 Calories for that bag without considering oil added for a nice focaccia or butter and milk for a classic brioche.

If each person gets this then it can ~~be sufficient~~ last a week or two, but I assume it was supplementary in nature.

There's no yeast included though. Are they also maintaining a sourdough starter with that ration? Also a brioche would probably use up quite a bit of their ration for the month and possibly last about a week. Lastly, who puts vodka in rice?

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Ah right, Monthly lol I was thinking more like weekly or biweekly. Yeah, this isn't enough.

Lastly, who puts vodka in rice?

I imagine people with limited resources who are receiving rations that include a handful of items that you occasionally need to get creative with.

It's like the show Chopped, but much less fun.

Questions comrade?

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

The vodka acts as a sort of Rice Vinegar replacement, I would stir it in after the rice has cooked since alcohol evaporates at lower temp.

[-] frostysauce@lemmy.world -1 points 3 days ago

One cup of uncooked rice does not make enough for me for dinner, I don't know how you think two can dine on that.

[-] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days ago

Well, the typical serving size for uncooked rice is 1/2 cup. Or 1/4 cup if it's a side dish. That's typically what I make for my wife and I when we have rice. Perhaps you just like more than the average person does?

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Yet 1/2c is the serving size. I can never decide if that’s a useless fiction or a good reminder that rice is a lot of carbs. Anyhow, I’m down to 1.5c (uncooked) for two people

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world -1 points 3 days ago

Fluffy rice is pretty filling, imo.

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Pretty sure they’d grow their own vegetables
