I'm always surprised at what can be done with some pretty basic ingredients, 99% of which have non-refrigerated options like canned tuna, or canned chicken, that can be had relatively inexpensively.


Do you think there's a market for such a book that people would buy?


The stuff I make is super simple, needing nothing more than a knife, a fork/spatula, a single burner, and a pan... and to me, seems like common sense, just knowing what goes well together.

dumb example incoming...


I was gonna make chicken fajita burritos.

I had green pepper, and onion, but realized I had mushrooms and broccoli that were about to go bad.

So, instead, I tossed the pepper, onion, mushroom, broccoli and some garlic in a pan with sesame oil, then cooked some canned chicken, tossed in some chili paste, and a couple packets of soy sauce I had laying around, and then made some rice...

Went from Chicken fajita burrito, to chicken stir fry, with only a minor ingredient change, but with a completely different taste profile.

Does anyone give a shit? Would it be worth putting something together in maybe an E-book and toss it on Amazon or something? Maybe get some yuppies to 'wanna eat like a homeless guy' while still being comfortable? Hahahaha

I say go for it, what have you got to lose?

Maybe a blog or website.

Some little story, followed by a recipe.

Then generate revenue from ads.

It’s what many foodie sites do.

Then they come out with a cookbook, which they tout on their site.

The website/blog traffic would let you gauge the interest in whether to pursue it further...

I'm thinking that hobo's would taste pretty bad unless they were cleaned up first. Maybe a processing plant that at least rinses them off before they're packaged up.

It all depends on how you cook ‘em...

Thinking of a title:
The Hobos of Papua New Guinea.... A Culinary Guide

Do this. You seem texh savvy enough, and have the time to create good content. Nothing but air and opportunity.

Yes, this.

Sure, people still buy cookbooks … but a simple Google search is a far more common tool, I believe.

"Do you think there's a market for a hobo cookbook?"

The sexy/slutty hippy chicks living in vans on Youtube have this market cornered.

To bust your bubble use google and do a search for one pan cook books. Been done plenty of times already but the old school Boy Scout stuff is getting harder to find like cooking a chicken in a coffee can.

Write a memoir and include a recipe at the end of each chapter.

"Hobo" is indicative of a position juxtaposed to that of privilege, and this triggers me. I suggest you do some serious introspection and plead your contrition on the tweet'r-book thing, you recalcitrant rayciss.

You gotta remember to bleed then after you slaughter them. Also country hobos taste better than city hobos.


I like the memoirs with a recipe at the end idea.
