Prison cooking….

[JackBootedThug]

Any of you reprobates ever do any time? Most of you know I retired from the bop a couple years ago. I happened to stumble across this dude on YouTube…fuck it brings back memories…keefe instant coffee….sheebang potato chips…?

My closest experience to prison cooking is Seasons 1 and 2 of Orange is the New Black.

Never been arrested or in any trouble. ?

I did get questioned for drag racing when I was 18, but they didn’t have any evidence it was me who outran a police car. ?. My 68 Camaro ran mid 12 seconds at the track, so they never had a chance.

I had a good relationship with the head of the gd’s where I worked. He used to hook me up with laughy taffy….good stuff..it’s amazing what they could do with a trash bag and hot water. I tried to explain to them that they were basically doing souse vide with 190 tap water. It worked.

Wow!
All 4 of those looked great!
Reminds me of the show Chopped where the chefs are given crazy stuff and have to be creative.

I had a good buddy that did quite a bit of time and I would go visit him and he would tell me all kinds of shit they would make.

I loved that show. They would get out there with the ingredients sometimes but I loved the variety of techniques and different dishes the contestants would come up with from the same basket.

I would love to see Gordon Ramsey roll up in a fed joint screaming at the inmate cooks like he does with the people on tv. He would not last long.

A prison kitchen is a 100 times cleaner than any restaurant. They will rob you blind but fucking with the food is taboo. That’s a good way to get tuned up.

Anthony Bourdain said that in one of his books. Said they would shame most hospital kitchens in an inspection.

That’s the truth. There’s a 10-20 man cleaning crew on shift at all times.

 

[JackBootedThug]

I would make all of them lineup at count time and do hygiene inspections. All were medically cleared as well.

im pretty sure just the bitches do the cooking and cleaning

 

[JackBootedThug]

I kinda miss it. Everyone does time in places like that you know…just different ways of doing it.

No not at all. Inmates segregate themselves. Usually you have shot callers for different groups in leadership roles.

 

[JackBootedThug]

I had a lead cook once who couldn’t boil water. He was the head crip though. I didn’t have to worry about anything.

This stuff is really clever and resourceful

Can prisoners really get access to, for example, entire large packages of cookies, etc? And Jolly Ranchers, etc?

Is it true that if you're the inmate in charge of the kitchen you got other group leaders vying for favors from you?
I've read a million books about everything and one quote from a prisoner in one always stuck with me:
Something like, "A man doing time has only eating, shitting, and sleeping. DO NOT FUCK with any of them".
