    Most of them. They require not only the right ingredients and even the right brands. But the amount of tools you would have to go out and get, just to make that thing. I currently am struggling to make homemade butterbeer, from harry potter, because I spent like a combined $30+ in materials and ingredients and that’s only by one recipe. Which is another thing, recipes vary and have their own way of doing things which again is going to require having to spend more just to make it.

    It’s a no-brainer why people would rather have take out or go out to restaurants.

      You really don’t need a ton of tools to cook most dishes. And once you have the tool, you have it for the next dish that needs it. You think ingredients are expensive? Restaurants use the same ones and up charge you.

      Ordering or eating out for every meal? In this economy?

        Let me know when grocery shopping is cheaper than ordering or eating out. Then we’ll talk.

        Guess I’m in for a long wait then if all you did was downvote.

          What? Right now. Even fast food is like 12 bucks for a shitty burger and fries. What does everyone currently complain about? The price of eggs. 7 bucks for 12. That’s four three egg omelets for almost half the price of a fucking happy meal. What are you talking about?
