/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I have OP

but I was 10 years old, my sister was 15 and my mother had to support us alone, she got her pay delayed during 2 weeks in wich we had almost nothing to eat.


Literally the day she was supposed to get her pay, we only had one onion, one potato, some rice and pasta and a can of tomato paste

We rationed the pasta and rice with the can of tomato paste and onion and they lasted for 3 days, just eating once a day the three of us

The potato was next and if made us last one more day

Next day we raided the house in search of pennies and my mother got some borrowed money, so we went to the supermarket and got the food we needed but we kept rationing eating 1 time per day, mostly soup of rice with some vegetables in chicken stock to make it richer.
