/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I just finished a bowl of steamed rice with a drizzle of italian dressing.

I win.

Drinking chocolate milk made with Ovaltine. Eating peanut butter crackers.
Wishing I had something better at 3:40ish in the morning.

It's called "lonely breakfast".

...

It's like cereal.

Except the cereal is M&Ms and the milk is Irish Cream.

>>4328907

... peanut M&Ms?

>>4328942
Whatever your lonely heart desires.

University, on couch, watching Jerry Springer, pot of Stove Top Stuffing out of the pot with the wooden spoon.

At the time, ambrosia.

Usually since I'm poor and hungry in the am, I'll take a piece of white or whole wheat bread or a bun, put some pasta or pizza sauce on it, put whatever cheese I have in the fridge on it which is usually cheddar or mozzarella, then some cold cut meats which is usually salami or ham and some kind of vegetables or fruit such as left over garlic, onions, tomatoes, olives, etc. Bake it in the oven until the cheese is melted well. Tastes good.

I call it poor people trailer trash pizza.

>>4328952

So you've not actually had it.

Mind you, I'd have a bowl of peanut M&Ms with Irish Creme, but I feel there's something missing.

I think a splash of Cream of Mint could work. But that's no what I was thinking. I was actually thinking salted almonds. Not smoked, just salted. Or something salty.

It's a whole new kind of granola.

>>4328975
You're leaving lonely territory now. The intention was never for it to feel complete or amazing. Stick with M&Ms or other small candies. Reese's Pieces would be fine.

And I didn't realize you were asking me what the original was like rather than what you were allowed to do. It was regular M&Ms. Because that's what we had. Very old M&Ms.

This meal is intended for when you feel bad and want to feel worse and want anybody who sees you to feel pity and disgust.

>>4328983

If you want that why not just eat semen lucky charms?

Can of whatever canned vegetabales. Corn, peas, green beans, mixed vegetables, whatever.

Drain liquid into saucepan. Bring to boil.

Add ramen noodles and flavoring packet. Return to boil and stir until noodles are cooked.

Stir in room-temperature vegetables to bring the boiling-hot mass down to a more-or-less immediately edible temperature.

I call it poor people soup. If people ask whether it's made with actual poor people, well, who knows what they put in ramen flavoring?

>>4328986
...I feel only disgust and not pity.

I had some bread and butter pickles from the jar, a spoonful of yogurt and a handful of cheese-its last night. I'm not super poor, I just hadn't made the time to go shopping when I should have yesterday.

>>4328983

How could I pity the man who eats cereal made of M&Ms and Irish Cream?

Also I don't think Reeses pieces would work, the taste is too distinct. It's like, McCormicks' cinnamon. You just know what it is.

>>4328972

This actually sounds pretty fucking delicious.

>>4328995
I mean, who would want to eat Lucky Charms? Gross.

>>4329000

ya iknorite

Probably Jews.

I always have a batch of beans on standby, and rice takes just a few minutes to cook.

Slice a tomato and avocado to have with it. At the very least, have a small jar of unopened salsa ready to go. Keep some mixed vegetables in the freezer.

I don't know how you guys end up this way. Being poor isn't an excuse. You're either lazy or stupid, or both.

I once had a tortilla wrapped with nothing but different hot sauces and cheeses.
I felt pretty pathetic.

>>4328992
Its cows bone marrow. My mom makes it from scratch all the time.

>>4328972
do you even know what poor means?

>>4328907

My Christmas Eve dinner was Reese's Pieces and Egg Nog, in a bowl, eaten as a cereal.

"The Lonely Santa"

>>4328972

Growing up my Dad would make that stuff for me when my Mom was working the 2nd shift/night shift. We'd use leftover marinara from Spaghetti or Lasagna, etc.

We called it "Pizza Quick Bread" and that shit is tasty, no need to fee bad about that.

>>4329238
should've made a quesadilla out of that. no shame in a quesailla.


whenever im really broke, i just scrounge. i havent been in that situation in awhile, but when i was, i'd try to account for the hard times every trip to the store. simple as buying something i don't really like that much so it wont get eaten until there's no other option. also a favorite lunch of mine when i was trying to save every penny was pb&j with a packet of ramen.

oh, and also ramen noodles are pretty good raw, used to eat them like chips.

>>4329890
I was just thinking dang this isn't what poor is like

>>4328863
Oh man, every time I don't have any sauce
>W-well I guess there's some italian dressing in the fridge...

>>4328997
>You just know what it is.
I know ur a fagit

>>4328862
What am I looking at in this picture? Why is the person with the camera not upset about the mess he's making? Why is he measuring flour in an office?

>>4328862
one entire tin of beans

Boiled rice porridge with Bovril stirred in for a week.

The Bovril was shoplifted.

I put it on toast, but still feels bad man

I sleepwalk sometimes and usually wake up halfway through putting butter on a tortilla, rolling it up, and microwaving it until the butter is melted. I don't know why I do this.

I once went a whole day on a value pack of vanilla wafers. Not bad

Instant yakisoba on my birthday alone

I lived off of a bulk box of instant ramen for about a week. That cured me of my enjoyment of instant ramen.

yea, dry ramen would have to be my go to don'tgiveafuck snack.

foreman-grilled breakfast sausages and/or bacon in a wrap drizzled with ketchup (all from the tesco value range ... even the foreman!!!)

pathetic, but fucking delicious

I have not eaten in 11 days

>>4328862

I ate a can of pork and beans with an entire package of hotdogs for dinner last night.

>>4328862

If you are foreveralone and get a supermarket deli rotisserie chicken on Christmas Eve, and microwave it to warm it up on Christmas Day, and carve it as though it were a pretend turkey, does that count? No stuffing. Canned store brand mixed vegetables as the side dish. With a cup of convenience store eggnog for dessert.

>>4330783
Goddamn. That is pathetic.

One time I went to a friend's house to watch football and he had ordered some KFC. After football, he asked me drop the trash in the dumpster on my way out of his apartment complex. I drove to a gas station a few blocks away and opened up his trash, grabbed the oily KFC bucket, picked through the trash, and collected all the chicken bones. Some of the drumsticks still had meat on them, imagine how you'd eat an apple by only eating the middle and leaving the ends of the core uneaten. I took this all home and boiled it to shit with some salt and black pepper until I had a broth. Added half an onion. I ate this for a week. I even took it to work for lunch.

A bowl of half a pack of cream of wheat with a birthday candle in it.

One time during college finals I had virtually no money nor time and I ate omelets with only freezer-burned frozen vegetables for a day. The next day I scrounged together 8 dollars and bought a pepperoni pizza and made that last for two days.

Good times.

>>4330783
Wow. Jesus, dude, that is sad.

Really? I don't know, I stopped caring about holidays a while ago and, although XMas means good food and good times with family and friends, if I was unable to celebrate it and had to be alone I really wouldn't care.

You are a bad person for what you have done.

>>4329898
I laughed and cried a little at the same time.

Saltines spread with margarine.

Diet coke with pepperoni pizza hot pocket.
For breakfast.

grilled cheese with wonderbread and velveeta

>>4330268

>>4331240
Whoa, elementary school flashbacks
>Grandma this grilled cheese tastes funny

I went through a vegan phase for a while.

Boxed ribs, premade macaroni salad, and $5/bottle manischewitz blackberry wine

or


raspberry pie and icecream for breakfast lunch and dinner

or

canned tuna, mayo, relish, and and cajun seasoning mixed together with a fork in a bowl

These were my lowest points

>>4328972

This is actually called Nigger Pizza / Ghetto Pizza / redneck Pizza and sometimes in Canada, Indian Pizza, because it's a staple meal of any indian child living on a reserve.
