Cooking or fast food
In my case, I never buy ready-made food. I was just thinking about it in the morning, when I was in town and saw some bakery sellers by the bus stop. I thought: I wouldn't eat that even if they gave it to me for free. Why? Have I had bad experiences? Have I had bad experiences with street food? I don't really remember that happening. Even so, I'm very suspicious about the issue of sanitation in street food stalls.
Besides the sanitation issue, there's the budget issue. I'm the type who tries to save as much as possible, and fast food in my city is quite expensive compared to homemade food, which makes sense, given that those people invest their time and energy in buying, preparing and selling the food.
When I was a child, when the economy was much better in the country (I live in Venezuela), I did like to go out to buy and enjoy all kinds of food in the city. Chinese food, pastries, soup, all kinds of juices and desserts. Those were good times in that sense, since food was cheaper and even lower class families could choose what to eat, and have a balanced diet, even fall into excesses. But now we have had to adapt and make do with what we can get, according to our circumstances.
I dare to say that, even before eating some kind of street food, I prefer to get together with someone, buy the ingredients and prepare it at home. I find it nicer and more special, even if it does not look as good as if we had bought it ready-made.
One time I was working in a supermarket and many of my colleagues were in debt to a lady who sold food in the middle of the day. I didn't understand how they could afford that expense, given that our salary alone could be enough to buy those daily meals.
For my part, I would stop early to cook, eat breakfast and save the food for lunch and dinner, which I would heat up in due time. It certainly wasn't the most appetizing food, but it was enough for me, and it was a necessary effort, given that I was saving at the time to solve a problem.
The truth is that my mother and grandmother were in charge of the food at home during my childhood and adolescence, and since they liked to spend time in the kitchen, I didn't try to help them in that area. By the time I became independent, I didn't even know how to make coffee. But there's no science to cooking, and I quickly learned what I needed to survive. Now, however, I enjoy spending time in the kitchen, without rushing, and trying to make the food look good for my own benefit, since I live alone.

Cocina o comida rápida
En mi caso, jamás compro la comida hecha. Precisamente estaba pensando al respecto en la mañana, cuando estaba por la ciudad y ví a unos vendedores de bollería por la parada de autobús. Pensaba: No me comería eso aunque me lo regalaran. ¿Por qué? ¿He tenido malas experiencias? ¿Me ha caído mal la comida de la calle? La verdad es que no recuerdo que eso haya pasado. Aún así, soy muy desconfiada con el tema de la sanidad en los puestos de comida en la calle.
Además del tema de la sanidad, está el del presupuesto. Soy del tipo que trata de ahorrar lo máximo posible, y la comida rápida en mi ciudad es bastante cara comparada con la comida hecha en casa, cosa que tiene lógica, dado que esas personas invierten su tiempo y energía en comprar, preparar y vender la comida.
De pequeña, cuando la economía estaba mucho mejor en el país (vivo en Venezuela), sí que me gustaba salir a comprar y disfrutar toda clase de comida en la ciudad. Comida china, bollería, sopa, toda clase de jugos y postres. Eran buenos tiempos en ese sentido, ya que la comida era más económica y hasta las familias de clase baja podían elegir qué comer, y tener una alimentación balanceada, incluso caer en excesos. Pero ahora hemos tenido que adaptarnos y conformarnos con lo que podemos conseguir, de acuerdo a nuestras circunstancias.
Me atrevo a decir que, incluso, antes de comer algún tipo de comida en la calle, prefiero reunirme con alguien, comprar los ingredientes y prepararla en casa. Me parece más bonito y especial, aunque no quede tan bien como si la hubiéramos comprado hecha.
Un tiempo estuve trabajando en un automercado y muchos de mis compañeros se endeudaban con una señora que vendía comida al medio día. Yo no entendía cómo solventaban ese gasto, dado que nuestro sueldo perfectamente podría alcanzar solo para comprar esas comidas diarias.
Por mi parte, me paraba temprano para cocinar, desayunar y guardar la comida para el almuerzo y la cena, la cual calentaría en su momento. Ciertamente, no era la comida más apetitosa, pero era suficiente para mí, y era un esfuerzo necesario, dado que estaba ahorrando en ese tiempo para solucionar un problema.
La verdad es que mi madre y mi abuela se encargaban de la comida en casa durante mi niñez y adolescencia, y dado que a ellas les gustaba pasar tiempo en la cocina, yo no intentaba ayudarlas en ese ámbito. Cuando me independicé, no sabía ni hacer un café. Pero cocinar no tiene ciencia, y aprendí rápido lo necesario para sobrevivir. Ahora, sin embargo, me relaja pasar tiempo en la cocina, sin apuros, y tratar de que la comida me quede bien en beneficio de mí misma, dado que vivo sola.

It's good to consider the cost and cleanliness of the food we eat, you are doing just right. It seems this inflation is a general problem in most developing countries.
Yes, although it is a recent problem in our case. Thanks for commenting!
