I think my favorite "shitty" food is cheap Chinese takeout.

What do my fellow anons enjoy which might fall into this category?

I feel extra bad when I get fast food or kebab-like things (Turkish food mostly). Unfortunately there's no cheap Chinese place near where I live, but I'd probably prefer it over most options. Unless it's really just msg-type sauce+chicken+rice, in which case yea that's pretty meh

That's a really neat coaster anon

cheap, americanized chinese food is also my guilty pleasure. i live by chinese buffet that has a to-go buffet option (you get a styrofoam container and go to town on the buffer--flat rate but you're charged a little extra if you go over a certain weight limit). i get mostly meat and sushi, usually supplement it with some vegetables and fruit at home and make it last two meals.

You already posted Chinese food so now that's all I can think about. I fucking love pot stickers. When I discovered my local Chinese place sold them I ordered two plates and made myself sick on them. Turns out eight wasn't enough but 16 was too many.

Made my own dipping sauce though because the stuff the Chinese place gives you tastes like sugary crap.

I can't get enough of these fucking Mini Pizzas by Chicago Town.

I use them for everything, I have several recipes using them. They are the perfect size.

Pizza Burgers, obviously 2 smashed together, usually with some ham, cheese or lettuce in between
Pizza Baked Potato, again obviously this is baked potatoes with the mini pizzas stuffed into them
Pizza Shakshuka, basically I fry an egg in the pizzas with tomato sauce and paprika
Pizza Noodles, basically cut the frozen pizzas into strips then let them half defrost so they get soggy and stir fry them with some veggies
Pizza Energy Bars, basically just microwave one of the pizzas and then cover it in Pureed Dates and cut into strips
Pizza Porridge, which is just Porridge with a frozen mini pizza floating on top
Mini Pizza Brie, take a wheel of Brie and a Mini Pizza and smash them together, I like to roll them along the floor and the one that goes furthest gets to go on the bottom
Pizza Kiev, put some garlic butter between the pizzas then seal them together with breadcrumbs and bake
Black Forest Pizzas, basically pizza then cream then pizza then cherries coated in chocolate

Taco Bell burritos are better than 90% of 'authentic places.' I really like how their ground beef is so wet and sloppy, at most places you get this dry mince that's almost like meat loaf. I also don't get why most places put rice in the burrito, that doesn't taste good IMO, but I guess it's optional.

Wrap döner kebab most definitely.
Also the pizza from these pizza/kebab shops here in Finland is infinitely better than the floury abominations that the overpriced chain restaurant (Kotipizza) sells. I mean, if you're scared of immigrants then I guess it works out.

Those randomly little dive Mexican spots/ food trucks. Paired with a generic Mexican lager they never disappoint.

You can get better quality food for the price at most Japanese restaurants.

Got pretty much the same thing in Montreal, although not from carts.

Shish taouk chicken, rice, garlic potatoes, salad, pickled turnips, with garlic sauce, hummus and pita bread.

Big ass plate usually for 10-12$. Good alternative for poutine when really drunk.

Blue cheese or feta?

Also, all the good places can make the thing with "spicier sauce". Didn't know this but recently, but usually they do and don't charge extra.

High quality hamburgers in Poland are very cheap (like 5 dollars) so it's the best pick u can get here. They have similar price to shitfood like mcdonalds etc
