>>14276020
Wife died in a car bomb

>>14276020
Weeeeeeellll this is a story all bout how, my life got twist turned upside down. If I told you, you wouldn't believe me so laugh at me all you want.

Bologna and cheese was a magical combination with a bit of mayo but I was never poor enough not be able to afford bread

>>14276006
Lived out in the middle of nowhere so when we did the 45 minute long drive to get groceries in town my dad would wrap hotdogs in foil and stuff them beside the radiator as he drove and we'd eat them in the grocery store parking lot so we didn't have to stop at a restaurant while in town

>>14276043
I want to hear your fresh prince story.

>>14276006
I was poor but my mom was retarded and bought name branded bullshit. Our sandwiches were:

Wonderbread slice
iceburg lettuce
kraft single
oscar meyer bolongna
more lettuce
frenchs yellow mustard

You got two slices of cheese if you were a good boy

>>14276071
Mkultra, on my way to become famous, realize fame is a trap, start public ally talking about secrets I swore I'd keep my mouth shut over. On multiple lists and constantly harassed in my dreams, on here. My life is destroyed but it was absolutely worth it. Now, I'm already expecting a take your meds schizo response.

>>14276006
Hello fellow ex-poverty boy ily. contributing poorfag food I remember

>>14276071
Have proof of the fame thing, can't post here without doxing myself. Deny and laugh at me all you want, I've gone through worse.

>>14276110

>>14276133
I don't blame you for not believing, I wouldn't either in your position.

>>14276133
Used to eat this every day a good healthy choice when you're broke

>>14276148
The ramen with the msg was superior

>>14276006
We ate pancakes for dinner during the Regan era, and one year we spent an entire summer camping and mom nearly had a nervous breakdown. It would be nice to have been black and gotten that sweet sweet Section 8, food stamps, and welfare.

>>14276006
I ate bologna all the time as a kid and still do to this day. Fried bologna grilled cheese is one of the best poverty sandwiches of all time.

>>14276168
We would take whipped cream put it in a bowl or plate, throw chocolate on it and bam. A "sundae"

>>14276006
Fried bologna sandwiches with mayo - just like Elvis

Pasta sandwich with a little sprinkle of salt

it'll still be, even after a 100 years

hotdogs with beans or mac and cheese was a staple at the bootleg daycare I went to

>>14276229
why not freeze the whipped cream first

>>14276006
Dad would save empty milk jugs and other containers, fill them with water and store them for when the city would shut off our water due to nonpayment.

>ketchup sandwiches as a kid
>18 move away for college
>so broke, literally eat ice cubes to curb my hunger
>eat the freebie popcorn at the college cafeteria for lunch
>one night im so hungry I sell the Simpsons hit n run and Enter the Matrix to gamestop for $4. Go to BurgerKing and get fries and a small burger

Still mad I sold those games.

>>14276581
This one is the winner ITT so far. Hope things are better for you now, pal.

>>14276066
smart dad

>>14276006
For me? It’s McCormick minced garlic on toasted white bread with grocery store butter smeared.

It’s actually pretty good desu

>>14276006
I would eat buttered toast or tortillas with salt late at night

>>14276148
My old lady eats this with raisins on it and calls it "Ants on a Log".

>>14276097
>take your meds schizo
I know how the show-business works and let me tell you, you're lucky you're alive anon. Did they make you sell your soul to the devil? And regarding your constant spiritual attacks, only Jesus Christ can help you and keep the unclean spirits away. Pray to Him with all your heart, read your New Testament, get saved and you won't have to fear anything on or below this earth anymore.

>>14276229
That’s grim

A spoonful of white sugar on watered old bread for dessert. I still make it sometimes

>>14277772
lmao people actually believe this

we'd eat macaroni and cheese with no cheese. essentially mac and milk and butter and lots of pepper

it's not really bad and cheese is way more expensive than the other ingredients

we were fuck poor but my mother flat out refused to buy us things like hot dogs and bologna. she hated mock chicken

for us, it was watery stew with ground beef and potatoes, chip butties, milk, brown bread

>>14276006
We always bought the packaged ends of salami and other, close to the due date foods. We often had some toast with some cheese, salami pieces and ketchup as a pizza replacement, which we grilled in a toaster oven.

Not poor but poor food is great comfort food. Bologna sandwiches, just bologna, white bread and mustard, as well as macaroni and tomatoe soup were two of my fave meals. Still high up there to

>>14276006
I craved sweets so bad as a kid that I used to steal sugar packets or searched the trash for some unopened sugar and ketchup packets.

You are not broke if you could afford bologna and cheese, even this shit plastic cheese.
Macaroni with a bit of butter, mashed potatoes with a bit of butter, soups made with stock cubes and without meat, fried eggs on sunflower oil, sandwich with margarine and salt, "pies" made with mayo and whatever friut avaliable. That's the shit.

>>14277648

Pretty common, that was the way we did it back in kindergarten for me. You know, back when peanut butter was allowed in public schools.

Cold hot dogs with a cup of ketchup.

>>14276006
I got by on some white rice flavored with sauce packages that I swiped where I could.

I can't eat ketchup without getting reminded of my shit childhood. It doesn't help that my father was an "artist" that bought shittons of expensive tools/colors/material but never sold anything. He used up the inheritance of my mom for useless stuff. I hope he kills himself soon or get wrecked by corona-chan.

>>14276006
Cheese? Shit that was a luxury.

Devon and tomato sauce is true povo

i grew up as a poor kid then when i was 11 my dad got rich and i spend my teens being hated for being a richfag.

My dad said in Mexico they were poor so what he did was he rubbed some cooked meat chunks to a tortilla for flavor and ate it.
Rinse and repeat.

Brought up in our great grandparents house in the south side of our city. Every appliance we had was shit my dad picked up off the side of the road that people were throwing out. We lived off my dad's pension for 10 years after he lost all mobility due to fucked up joints from 30 years of heavy labor and botched double knee replacement surgery at 45 years old.
We lived with a broken refrigerator for like two years, so we mostly lived off dry beans and potatoes.
I got accepted at our states university with a full scholarship, so I worked a full time job while going and sent all the money back home. It was just enough to keep the water and electricity on. I ended up graduating with a double major in physics and computer science.
Ive been looking for jobs recently, but nobody is hiring. I send out dozens of applications every day. I'm back at home now working for 12 an hour eating beans and rice for every meal.
I have no idea why I even bothered writing all this out, I made it all up

>>14278531
>he had cooked meat

>>14276006
Plain pasta and a cup of milk

>>14276006
My go to poorfag meal was cut up hot dogs in ramen. I have no idea why i suffer from hypertension.

>>14276096
Shit, negro...we're practically twins.

>>14276006
You spoiled rich-fags make me sick. I had to use up all my fat reserves and some portion of my internal organs since I didn't had any food. The only sweet thing in my life was finding some gum stuck on the underside of tables that still had some flavor in it. The only cheese I got to taste came from weeklong unwashed cocks I had to suck to earn money for rent/medicine for my parents.

actually poor.

>>14276006

I used to eat bologona and cheese (didn't cut it into squares tho, who does that) like this and my family wasn't even boor.

>>14276229

This doesn't seem poor but just weird. If you have whipped cream and chocolate then you can afford ice cream.

>>14276006
Not even cheese, probably either ketchup or a tomato slice or nothing

>>14276021
>on white bread with mayo
honestly peeps who never had this didn't have a childhood, even though we were poor it was and still is delicious

>>14276021
Fried bologna, slice of velveeta, lettuce, and mustard mayo mix on toasted white bread is an awesome sammich.

>>14276006

I wonder how many of you were really financially poor, how many were simply suffering emotional poverty (e.g. their mom didn't give a fuck), and how many were culinary poor (e.g. their mom didn't know how to make anything else)?

>>14278570
>>14278736
He used the grease of the cooked meat to coat the tortilla. most of the time they ate nopales or beans.

>>14276006

>Meat was only for dinner on the weekends
>Bologna was called "Mortadela" in my homeland, and looked like a Doctors sausage. Thick slices covered in eggwash and breadcrumbs and pan fried... we called them "poverty hamburgers"
>White bread sandwich with butter and a slice of cheese to school. After that a thin chicken soup for dinner.
>A slice of bread with butter and sugar before going to play with the other kids after school
>a slice of bread with lard and salt as a snack during cold days.

early 90's in ex-commie bloc were weird.

>>14277772
Yes, my soul was under their control and the only reason I'm alive is because of Jesus.

>>14276108
how are premade meals poorfag food? they're not even cheap, that's just lazyfag food

>>14276006
I used to have a ketchup sandwich or mac and cheese everyday for almost every meal and I had a huge water bottle I would fill up at school when our water was shut off. Ice cubes were also technically a "meal" for me. If we ever got fast food I would literally save the few fries or bites of a burger I had and I would wait to drink the ice water from my soda. I am so fucking glad I make my own money now.

>>14276006
I once spent a summer with no electricity in Florida with nothing to eat but plain boiled potatoes that I was only able to cook because we had a gas stove.

>>14276006
I was so poor that me and my sister used to have a eat each other out on camera for old men on a webcam service to provide money for our father's cocaine addiction.

French dinners. My mum would put down a blanket and put small plates of meat, cheeses, veg, fruit and bread. All cut up small. Happened a couple of times a week. She had this old beat up French phrase book and would try to teach you the names of everythinh along with some basic French. She told us this is how the French eat and if we got good enough at speaking French she'd take us on holiday to France. She was going to the supermarket at closing time and asking for the food they were about to throw out. She'd come home and cut the bad bit off and present them all dainty and nice to us. She made being poor fun.

>>14276250
Go ahead and call me subhuman because I actually like my black eyed peas and rice with a nice drizzle of ketchup on it.

Then again I fucking love stewed tomatoes with blackeyed peas and rice so my brain probably just says "Fuck it I like this too lmao" when I eat that so idk

>>14276006
Had s friend in HS who was really poor. His older brothers offered us Ketchup sandwiches one day.

>>14276035
go larp somewhere else

>>14276097
go larp somewhere else

>>14280161
because lazy as fuck parents who don't know how to cook will blow all their money on tv dinners and fast food pretending that's how you feed a family of four to five competently.
my mother in law did that shit so my fiance and his younger siblings all now have weird food habits and have had to grow out of said habits, and it's from picky eating to not wanting to eat perfectly acceptable leftovers in the fridge.

>>14276006
>Any other poverty children? A bologna and cheese slice cut up into squares was a staple meal. Prove how poor you were

Well, that is what most kids cried on demand to get when they rode in the cart in the grocery needing their whaaah Lunchables like they weren't just crackers and basic deli meat in little stacks.

Those lunchables kids were a bit before my time. My own (very good cook) mother once, mind you just once, threw together some kind of snack before going out for some kind of thing teenagers had to do on weeknights (scouts?) dunno. But, this once she cooked bologna in a skillet with BBQ sauce til it curled up and got crispy. When she served it telling some story about her german grandfather making it for her Dad when mom was out of town, as a treat, etc, my older brother interrupted her to talk about it being the shittiest poor people food he'd ever seen. I think he left the table crying. He had about 6 moments that I recall like that, where he was rude or ungrateful. Glimpses into his soul.

My parents pulled his leg one time. Had him going for about 2 weeks, he just wasn't sure what to believe, but they kept up the charade that he was switched at birth, that a lawyer had contacted them, and they acted very worried, and his birth parents were very rich well known family in our city. Everytime we passed the buildings on the highway owned by that family, the topic came up again about is it true? HAHA.

>>14276071
wellk this is a story all about how
im still a virgin and here is why
i came to 4chan and discovered /ck/

>>14281207
>it's from picky eating to not wanting to eat perfectly acceptable leftovers in the fridge.
My spouse did that crap. Horrible inlaws with all kinds of weird food rules that ruined really common recipes, from unsauced pastas, to turkey bacon demands, to pulling off breading on all chicken, to only having chili on top of salads, but never in the bowl as a stew. Never an actual italian toppings on pizza night. Never splitting any food at a restaurant. Stupid stuff. I could look forward to having said leftovers a second time, but 100% of the time it was a no-go idea for the spouse.
After tossing too many good leftovers or else having a sort of lazed out dumb takeout idea, I started to just immediately freeze leftovers right out of the casserole or the pan, right into the freezer, and pull that stuff out again only when we'd be in the mood for it again.

>>14276035
I know how you feel. My cat died last year.

>gatekeeping poverty

>>14276742
Sprinkle some Parmesan sawdust and that's garlic bread to go with spaghetti.
>>14280161
Banquet brand trash is usually priced comparable to a pack of gum though. Also you've obviously never grocery shopped at a Dollar store.
>>14280840
Wew lad.
>>14281088
I'm sorry to inform you that you mother was a Ouiaboo.

Butter whisked with cacao as nutella

Potato soup, sometimes with a sausage or piece of bacon

Cutlet with noodles, canned peas and instant gravy as the sunday dinner.

>>14276035
shouldnt have bought a ford i guess

We ate fine. Beans and hot dogs was about as sad as it got. But god forbid there was no milk when I woke up and wanted cereal. Mom would mix the half and half with water just to make me shut up. Those were really hard times for me.

stale bread, ketchup, cheese on top, broil in oven for 5 mins. wa la. pizza bread for dinner.

I grew up on government subsidies because my mother's disabled, but bologna and cheese was never really something I ate. Food stamps meant we could at least eat decently. Also, I was on the free lunch program in school before Michelle Obama's thing, so I often got decently fed at school. My school had this really cool lo mein noodles with beef every other Wednesday that was fairly tasty.

>>14276229

It's easier to justify a gallon bucket of vanilla ice cream than it is a tiny bucket of cool whip though... Bulk prices allow you to save quite a bit.

uhh bread butter cinnamon and sugar

sometimes just bread with sugar and butter

I also remember being told regularly to take a nap for lunch if I was hungry.

>>14276006
Bologna and cheese slices were both too expensive when I was a kid. I remember seeing kids at school with bologna on white bread and being so jealous.

Some of the stuff I ate as a poor kid: off brand pasta like no name brand boxed macaroni or off brand pasta shapes with some can of sauce. For school it was the cheapest jam/jelly and the cheapest food-bank looking peanut butter. Thinly spread on stale whole wheat that was reduced price do to age or completely free. On weekends I'd eat a potato sliced up and fried in a frying pan. I'd get a few packets of ketchup stolen from a lunch counter somewhere. No milk no soda no orange juice. On special occasions wed get powdered drink mix like kool aid with 1/3rd the required sugar (at best). Cheap disgusting fish suitable for bait. Often caught by a relative or given to us. Bowls of cheap thai rice. Porridge. Packaged ramen was rare I used to think it was expensive lol.


Rural Canada Poorfag with retarded irresponsible boomer dope loving parents. Rich as fuck now and never talk to them. Might call dad today and tell him to go fuck himself. Happy fathers day anons

We used to always have some onions, pork fat, potatoes and buckwheat. Onions fried in pork fat with greaves. Potatoes and buckwheat grain boiled,then everything combined. Its a filling poverty dish i make to this day and not poor anymore.

>>14280093

>>14278736
t. richfag gatekeeping what he knows not.

>>14276006
We could either have potato chips or ramen for dinner and you were only allowed 10 chips per kid

>>14284341
Well la-di-dah Mr. owns a plate and silverware.

popcorn salt for dinner
we passed the shaker around and licked our hands

>>14277772
Or he could just take his fucking meds.

>>14287802
Noo not the voicerinos and delusiondoggos :DDD

>>14276006
I remember going scrapping in the morning with my dad before school so we could afford dinner that night. Picking up engine blocks and scrap copper got us through some lean times.

diced potatoes
cooked in margarine
topped with eggs
and ketchup

I have one friend who was so poor growing up that her mother would often forgo eating a meal herself so that said friend and her sister could share a single baked potato between them for dinner.

I grew up in shitty 1 star motels by the highway and in our car a lot, in the car we couldn't keep meat cold or whatever so we used to eat tomato sandwiches. Just bread, sliced tomatoes and when we were lucky my dad would get handfuls of mayo packets from fast food places for them.

>>14280128
Bless you friend

>>14276006
one of my white trash friends used to eat spaghetti with ketchup. im not sure if there was anything else in there, I'd assume maybe some hotdogs at best, just noodles and sauce at worst

>>14276066

Jesus Christ. i remember a friend and I bought a bunch of this garbage, some shitty "cheese" and a loaf of the whitest and cheapest bread when we went on an impromptu road trip when we were like 16.
At least we had the foresight to bring an ice chest.

>>14278184
my friend in high school would go grab something off the top of the trash if he saw someone throw away some uneaten food. he was kind of poor, but he was fat, so I dont think his poverty had anything to do with it other than his parents being retarded leading them to be poor and fucking him up mentally

>poverty children
>half of the thread is just people who were fed processed garbage so mom could watch TV instead of cook
for me it's potato and lentil soup

>>14281977

to everyone else, keep it up, you'll get out of poverty

>using pre sliced white bread instead of buns for hot dogs

I will never understand how people can not afford food when you can literally just go hunt a deer or two and have food for months.
