Starving.

[Anonymous No.4079595]

Have you ever starved /ck/? After college i moved to a big city, but couldn't find a steady job. I bought things on sale that were big on fat and protein. I ate a lot of eggs, bread and milk when I could. Sometimes whole milk was on sale for $1.00. I wasn't able to afford juice, fresh vegetables, or snacks of any kind. Other times when I was hungry, I would go to sleep instead of eating. I lost 40 pounds. My mother bought me a plane ride home for the holidays, she told me I looked like "death warmed over".

I'll share my favorite "i'm starving" poorfag recipe:

3 cups cooked rice
1/2 caramelized onion
handful of cooked frozen peas
1/2 diced cooked chicken breast

I could eat that for days. Makes me sad to taste it now.

Share your starvation story and cheap ass recipes, /ck/.

Op again.

Ironically my previous job was a cook.

But the city had some wicked rules among restaurants. they expected new cooks/chefs to work for free for a month, off the books, before they would hire you on probation pay. Most of the time they would make you work then at the end of the month say "Sorry, you're not the kind of cook we're looking for" fire you and do it all over again to the next guy.

It was god awful. I now hate and distrust people, having to remind myself to back off.

I have to remember that not everyone is a monster all the time.

I've been through that before.

The longest I went without food was about a week. It was miserable.

Nowadays I always keep 50 lbs. of rice and beans in storage. I haven't starved in about a decade.

Op here. I went to the government place to get some free food out of desperation.

They looked at the whitey in front of them and said "Oh no honey, we can't do anything for you." They did give me a box of "emergency food". There was a peanut butter salmonella outbreak at the time. The woman told me "Just don't eat the peanut butter, baby".

It was honestly the most edible thing in the box, sadly. I had saltine crackers, "vegetable medley in a can", powered milk, seriously off-brand, undrinkable fake "Tang", sausages in a can, and a small bag of rice.

I choked most of it down, but it honestly wasn't fit to be called "food".

Also, fuck you, like you ever ate food at a food bank.

I had severe food poisoning last week, and after throwing up 12 times and literally pissing out of my ass for 2 days, I was the hungriest I've ever been in my life. I had nothing left in my body besides the little amount of water needed to survive. I'd call that starving.

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.

I haven't had problems with this starvation thing before but I've seen it first hands when I went back home to the Philippines, children begging on the streets or even going into restaurants hoping that someone would buy a meal for them. It literally broke my heart (I was in middle school at the time).

It even affected me more when I learned that my best friend (we're still friends) wasn't getting food everyday, they had a family and was starving. So as a family we tried to give them some money and food so that they could survive. The parents would have nothing of it and chose to let themselves starve before they would "take help from rich privileged people". So then from that day on I just always brought two lunches to school, one for me and one for my friend. And always kept the locker stocked with various foods that wouldn't go bad that she could hide in her room. Lots of jerky.

No one should starve and have to wonder where or when their next meal is going to be.

I remember my first day of moving out and renting a room in a house with 6 strangers for being closer to college. It was winter and I had no car, but campus was beside a lot of big box stores including a big grocery store. So I could walk home from campus with groceries which took 15-20 mins. This was my initial plan that never happened.

First day there I set up my room. I was pissed because I got no wifi reception... I had to do something to keep busy and ended up befriending one of the guys who moved in at the same time. With no food we ended up ordering a pizza... Second day we ordered another pizza. Third day another pizza. Then we were short on money. He thought of pooling money together for shopping. He had a car so we drove to a Costco and bought big box of Kraft Dinner, 100 count hot pockets, tub of butter, frozen bread, huge carton of eggs, and those big packages of italian sausages. Total came to 150ish. I was short, but he covered my end on his credit card and I would repay him and if I couldn't repay him I would give him my xbox 360. (Ended up selling my Xbox360 to him for 200)

We survived on that with tap water for 2 months. I went from a healthy 160 lbs to a 140 lbs.

Then we had a new guy move in. His dad owned a farm that raised pigs, cows, chickens, and a few other animals. He brought a freezer and had it loaded with all sorts of meats from his dads farm. I asked the landlord if we could build a grill and picnic table in the backyard. He was cool with it only if we built it to his specifications. He provided the materials and we ended up building this sweet grill and little gazebo with a table to eat in. Construction roommate did most of the tough work. After we built it we ate grilled meats every other day with kraft dinner. Shot back up to 160 lbs.

Me and a few friends went backpacking in the backcountry of the San Juan National Forest in Colorado.

In a classic case of, "but I thought steve brought it" " well I thought nick brought it", we left behind half the food we were going to bring.

It was about two weeks of mountain hiking with ~40lbs packs, on halved portions (which had already been small to begin with, due to weight constraints)

Not to mention that the pre-packaged meals that our meal-planner had bought were so vile that we could barely choke them down even in our starved state.

So not the worst experience in the world, but I was fucking gaunt when I got back

[Anonymous No.4080398]

When I was a kid, we went hungry often, because we were poor as shit and lived in a trailer. We lived in the middle of the woods, though, and could get apples that my mom would cook into a lot of different things, plus rabbits/deer from friends that would hunt near our home and bring us portions of. I don't remember much of it, but from what I'm told we lived on those apples for a week or two at a time sometimes.

At about 13, my mom had 2 more kids she couldn't afford and at one point we had to choose between food/formula for the younger children and food for me, 13, my brother, 14, and my sister, 18. We had a lot of potatoes for a month or so, but not much else.

Once I moved out on my own, I've only ever really 'starved' twice. Once was the first year I moved out. I had 2 extremely well-off and really slobby roommates who would throw away pounds and pounds of meat and fresh vegetables and fruit like it was nothing (They hardly ever cooked and their families always filled the fridge for them). I remember almost crying when I watched them throw it away. God, I hated those assholes.

The second time was last summer, and it lasted about 2 months on one meal a day of rice, or rice and beans, or plain pasta. We only went with absolutely no food for about a week and after that I got sick for the first few days I ate again.

Needless to say, I hoard beans and rice like a motherfucker now.

[Anonymous No.4080516]

I don't know what kind of shitty food banks you guys have where you live, but the one in my town always has nice stuff. Juice, cereal, canned milk, frozen meat etc. They even give out stuff like soap and razors and shampoo etc.

I do live in the USA. Then again, I don't live in a poor people hating big city.

Also, there's this thing called food stamps.
Churches and different types of organizations will help out sometimes as well. You just have to use your brain and look around.

Hey, all, torn asshole Anon, here. I am currently "starving." Catching those up on my situation, I have had a tear in my rectum for about 6 months now, brought on by a sudden fuck up in my GI tract that has me going 8+ times a day. It made bowel movements painful beyond belief.

Though, recently the tear isn't that bad and seems to be healing, but a new issue has arisen in this GI snowballing fiasco. I tried to eat less and less as possible because I didn't want to shit. This seemed to cause a fuckton of mouth ulcers (though it may be crohn's, I have to get that looked at) to crop up in my mouth and throat that are now even more painful than the tear.

The simple act of swallowing (even if I don't have anything to swallow) is dreadful, my uvula is covered in their white blotchiness, rendering it swollen three times its normal size and looking like a piece of chewed up gum. At night, my mouth hangs open and drys out in my sleep, further irritating the ulcers and allowing bacteria to incubate. I completely stopped eating foods, and almost stopped drinking liquids.

I've grown weaker, have unexplained fevers and I sleep most of the day. My mind is slipping. My joints hurt (again, could be crohn's or my body eating up their proteins). My body is failing.

I am left with my ultimatum. I have 4 weeks to get my nutrition back on track or I will be placed in a nursing home with a feeding tube for the rest of my life. I have lived in a Hell for the past six months and I need to fight against the pain and turn this around.

Don't wait for 4 weeks. Get into a hospital or nursing home now. Those places aren't repositories for broken people, they're centers for rehabilitation. And rehabilitation can be as simple as helping a person get back on a suitable nutrition scheme. Wait for those 4 weeks, and you might have a kidney failure or something else, and it will be too late.

If getting into treatment feels too difficult, contact a parent, a friend, a sibling, any relative, and ask them to help in the process of getting there. If they can't do this, contact a social worker, a priest, a neighbour, anything. This isn't a time to be shy about what debts you will incur or who you will inconvenience, this is a time to take every action available to ensure survival and, even better, to gain a new lease on life.

Luckily, I'm starting to get food down better. Ate a good bit of mac and cheese yeesterday, which has lot of bang for your buck when it comes to calories.

I have been reading this thread attentively and I am shocked with the episodes of hunger that the majority of people have experienced here. I suppose that you live in the USA and I am absolutely shocked!

I live in Portugal (EU) and although we are a poor country according to the "rich country" standards, we have almost eradicated hunger in our country. Every school and college has a canteen, if you cannot afford to eat there the meal is subsidised and there are many food banks providing free meals for indigent people. I cannot believe that so many normal people from such a rich country as the USA has experienced hunger!

My family is a normal middle class family and I am fortunate enough to have never experienced hunger in my life. We are not rich, we cannot afford to go on holidays every year and our parents have spent a considerable amount of money in our education but we have never experienced hunger.

Your society is shit! You defend people's rights to bear arms (despite all the school shootings) yet you refuse to have a public National Health Service or to provide poor people with a minimum of subsistence.

it varies based on individual policies. Typically they'll want some kind of proof of income or lack thereof. If you're on unemployment, that will do. if a paycheck stub shows how much you make, you then tell them how many you have in your household (you might be required to prove that, if you make an outlandish claim). From this income/mouths to feed ratio, they'd determine your eligibility.

At my bank, after proving eligibility, you got a card good for a pick up once a month for the rest of the calendar year, and you'd need to prove it again in January if you still needed it. Every shelf would have things available to you, in a X items per person way. ("2 cans of pear halves per person" "one bag brownie mix per household") kind of thing.

On your way out, you'd get your card stamped for the month, and the worker might spotcheck you to be sure you aren't taking more than you should.

Additionally, there was a second section near that checkout where bakeries and green grocers would leave soon-to-expire goods, which anyone can pick up in any quantity they want, since they get refreshed with something different pretty much every day, and it ddoesn't matter if the old stuff goes bad right there or in your kitchen.

It really was a helpful leg up when I needed it, but you can't live off it. It just helps you stretch a food budget.

Things I've done for food, out of desperation:

>Invented "Fast Food Safari:"
Walking the streets Friday/Saturday night after 2am looking for discarded takeaways. In 4 expeditions over a few weeks I found: half a pizza, 3 quarters of a garlic bread, a few portions of chips with chip spice, a half eaten cheeseburger and chips and A FULL 2 pc CHICKEN AND CHIPS WITH SALAD under a bus shelter - after it had rained! It was dry!

>Taken milk bottles from people's doorsteps after the milkman had been. Only took from people with more than one bottle, and only took one. Still feel shit about it though.

>Invented "Pasta Parsley:"
Spaghetti and parsley. That's it. Ate most of it. Fucking disgusting.

>Found a bag in the street (while on safari) that contained a few cans of food with Russian writing on them. Got them home and it was sardines or anchovies or pilchards or something, in tomato sauce. Found a few fish eyes in it that grossed me out.

Not me, a housemate did this:
>For months we peeled potatoes over the washing machine that had a layer of detergent powder spilled on it
>Pile of months old potato peelings on washing machine because we were foul teenage alcoholics
>Housemate deep fried them (didn't even wash the detergent off) and ate them
>He called them "scallions" and said they were nice
>He's still alive

I didn't make it up. I asked if I need to sign something or show proof of income and the people told me "We can't help you". I went from government office to government office (on their directions). I didn't meet this or that criteria.

There was a similar scheme for "emergency rental assistance" so you wouldn't be thrown out in the snow homeless. It was impossible to meet the standards BEFORE the paperwork process started. First you were required to have an eviction notice. Then you file the paperwork. If you're approved, 6-8 weeks later you would receive a single check for $480 dollars, regardless if your rent was $1000 a month. You were kicked out well before 6-8 weeks.

Look, you can give me your bullshit statistics and your "white people are on welfare" shit, but I don't care. I'm telling you what happened to me, in my city.

OP's a liar and butthurt. J'sezzin'.
Foodbanks are rarely run by gubment in the US. Of the many foodbanks in my area, three of which I volunteered for, only one /might have been/ gubment run (I'm not sure who runs it, but the name implies it is a government program), and I don't live in some pissant rinky-dink town, either.
Furthermore, it is unlawful for any assistance program to turn anyone away on basis of race, religion etc, so while it's /possible/ this /might have/ happened (OP being turned away because he's white), it's exceedingly unlikely it did. There's a Jewish-run foodbank in the area that caters mostly to Muslims because kosher food is permissible to those who eat halal.
I can't say much about OP's experiences with emergency housing. What I can say is that I know that in my city, it takes at least 60 days after filing before an eviction can be enforced and it takes 30 days of non-payment before the landlord can file for eviction in the first place. That's 12 weeks.

I have crohn's disease.

One of the symptoms in a flare-up is a loss of appetite.
Until a couple months ago (officially), I was on Prednisolone, a type of steroid. It gives me quite an appetite and solidifies my poop a bit.
It turned out that I was completely dependent on this drug for any sort of appetite.
I would NEED at least one 5mg tablet to summon the appetite to eat anything on a given day. On days when I did not take it, I would only manage to eat about half a bowl of rice cereal and be full.
A couple of weeks ago it got really bad, I had diarrhea and regular vomiting (and even shat blood a few times) and became afraid of eating again.

I went 3 days without eating anything whatsoever. Partly due to fear, partly due to lack of appetite and partly due to sleeping so much (lack of energy).
After this I was placed on a liquid-only diet (that means non-creamy soups and some special nutritional milkshake) for a number of days.
Not sure if it counts as starving if you don't feel hungry.

Pic somewhat related, its the special nutritional milkshake thing.

I've never truly starved involuntarily, but I do have a pretty good and nutritious recipe. Ramen fish soup! In most cities I've been in a package of ramen is about 30-80 cents, and a tin of sardines will be about 70 cents or a dollar. If you go easy on the sodium/msg packets that come with the ramen, this could also be considered nutritious and quite sustaining. Good luck to all of you.

Well, OP has to find only one link proving that there is a city in the US that routinely gets cold enough in the winter months for there to be snow that allows evictions during those months. Only one. OP can then claim to be from that city. Doesn't prove that he's from there, mind you, but I don't think he can find that, either. L/T laws, while generally being very state-to-state and even county-to-county within states, also have certain codes that are universal. While I'm not certain, I believe winter eviction protection is one such universal thing.

>1/2 diced cooked chicken breast

What the fuck are you doing? Use chicken legs, or better yet, chicken necks, hearts or gizzards. Chicken breasts aren't cheap.

There's a few things to I do when I'm really broke. First, meat is a condiment. Fatty meat specifically. Lean is always more expensive. Onions are a must, because of vitamin C and flavor, as are potatoes and beans, because of calories.

One recipe I especially like is called "fricassee" by my family. It's quite simple. Dice a piece of salt pork that's as big as half of your palm, or a third of it if you're serious about being really, really broke, then fry it in a big pot (You don't need to add fat, it's fat enough already). Add one diced onion and fry as well. Then, just dump a shitload of cubed potatoes (I'm thinking maybe 6-10 potatoes depending on their size) in there, and fry with everything else. Add a bit of pepper if you feel fancy (no salt, salt pork takes care of that for you), then just fry the potatoes until they become somewhat translucent. Then, add about half a cup of water, and cook over low heat for a while. You can't really overcook it, as long as it doesn't burn, but the low heat should prevent that. The potato starch and the water will make some kind of really thick gravy. You want that. There's essentially no meat in the recipe, but it'll still taste like pork. It's actually really, really good.

Also, you know how baked beans require molasses, mustard powder and all of that fancy shit? Wrong. Put a bit of salt pork, an onion and some pepper (again, pepper if you feel fancy) into a pot of white beans, and bake for a few hours. That's all you really need.

Also, in case that's not clear, salt pork is essentially heavily brined pork belly. Like wet, unsmoked bacon. I guess it could sound weird if you haven't heard of it before, but it's a lifesaver if you want to put some life in your broke as fuck meals.

>Cold weather usually doesn’t stop an eviction. It doesn’t matter what time of the year it is or what the temperature is like - the landlord can still evict her.
>The idea that it can be too cold to evict someone is not true. There are other common myths about eviction. Some others are that families with children can’t be evicted, or that families get extra time to move when they are evicted. Another myth is that an eviction notice is no good if it’s not notarized.

When I was in my second year at uni, my roommate suddenly decided she had to move out of our apartment, and turned off all the utilities that were in her name. At the time, I couldn't find a job (I lived in a town with 1 major uni, 3 colleges, and several trade schools, so unskilled labor jobs, like for college kids, was at a premium and hard to come by). I didn't have any family to help support me, so I lived in the dark, no electricity, and cooked dried pinto beans (my neighbors gave me a 10 lb. bag) over Sterno for about 2 months before I finally got hired. Cold showers, pinto beans, and sheer agony. Great times.

I did an internship in Chicago for 4 months last year (culinary school in NY). I worked at the best Mexican restaurant in the city, the tradeoff was that they paid me around $150 a week.

An old roommate of mine coincidentally lived in Chicago, and he let me stay there. I still split rent with three other guys, but the rent was still something like $400 a month.

I had already rolled into Chicago on fumes, as moving to/living in New York had drained most of my money.

The experience was well, well worth it, but with rent and the weekly train ticket, I never had more than $50 in my bank.

I allowed myself to "splurge" on a $20 a month 24/7 gym. I also had two days in a row off every week, which meant feeding myself rather than eating at the restaurant.

My solution? Rice, beans, eggs, and pickled jalapenos. Also, PB&Js.

I bought big bags of brown rice, as well as dried black beans.

I'd cook a week's worth of rice, cool it and store it, and do the same for the beans. Some weeks I'd have black beans, some I'd change it up with pintos. When I had a little extra money I'd buy some chorizo (lived in a Mexican neighborhood) and tomatoes and make frijoles charros.

Eggs are expensive compared to rice/beans, so I would only eat them sparingly. Usually scrambled with chiles, onion, garlic, anything aromatic tossed in. Chiles, pickled jalapenos, etc., were always at hand. You tend to eat spicy food slower, and so you can get away with eating less.

[Anonymous No.4082379]

>>4082377

I also bought jams or jellies when they were on sale, same with bread (freeze it and thaw it if need be) and peanut butter. A PB&J was my daily breakfast, with a thick smear of peanut butter for the calories.

It was a strange thing to be in NEED of calories. Like seriously.

Ok, so after that retardedly long post, here's my "recipe" for frijoles charros:

1 lb dried pinto beans, soaked overnight
1/2lb Mexican (fresh) chorizo
2 large roma tomatoes, diced
1 small onion, diced
1 bay leaf
salt
oil
water (or stock if you're a ritzy fucker)

1) Saute the onion in oil until soft (or caramelized, your choice) in a small stock pot or large sauce pot
2) Add soaked/drained beans and water just to cover
3) Add chorizo, tomato, and bay leaf
4) Bring to a boil, then simmer until beans are tender
5)Season heavily with salt

Note: I like to cook this until the beans are somewhat overcooked, some are starting to break apart, and the liquid has reduced to a nice, thick, stewy consistency. Normally you can just cook it until the consistency resembles baked beans from a can.

Note: If you want to go a slightly different route with this, begin by browning the shit out of the chorizo, remove it from the pan, caramelize the onion, add the tomato, caramelize that, then add the beans, water, etc.

It'll give it a much darker, richer flavor, but I prefer the version where everything is just simmered.

Pic slightly related, it's the food I was making at work while I was eating on a $15 a week budget.

Luckily it was monsoon season and we managed to collect the rainwater in the bottles which could've given us the shits etc but fortunately we got through it alright. The worst part was having to live off of crackers for 4 days whilst hiking around mountains in the heat.

Moral of the story - bring a guide and plenty of food.

Eating out of trash cans in large cities is easy. Sitting in front of fancy restaurants, places I'd eat if I had the money. Waiting. Somebody would eventually toss their "doggy bags" in the closest trash can, upon leaving said restaurant. Why? I don't know. But I've never eaten so well. When I didn't do that I would eat still-hot pizza from the trash behind the best pizza places. I knew when they closed. Sometimes I would be out behind the place at the right time and they would just hand it to me and my bros. Food waste in the US is a fucking joke. You can eat better off others' waste here than most people can eat with full time jobs.

Sadly, this is actually true. So much good food is thrown out here and so much awful food is bought and sold because most of us can't afford "good food". If you are poor, I tell you you cannot comprehend the amount of perfectly fine and delicious food that is thrown straight into the trash for various reasons. I've worked in and around food for most of my life and the things I've seen tossed into the garbage would break your heart.

If you are well off and can afford to send your steak back to the kitchen because they cooked it medium instead of medium-rare, well then you cannot comprehend the absolute bottom tier foods that most of the working class are eating. We (they) (us) would love that steak you sent back, even if it isn't that warm anymore. Restaurants and grocers throw away so much though.

I used to work for Publix supermarkets in florida a long time ago, and yes it is true, SO much waste. I guess the people that run the shit would rather throw away hundreds of dollars of unbought food than one person not get the exact thing they are looking for.

Egg noodles, tuna, peas. Add mayo if you're into that. Or substitute chicken for tuna and cream-o-chicken for mayo for hot meal. Essentially the 2-bit whore of culinary art: cheap, easy, and done in a couple minutes.

i can't say it was "good food", but at the fast food place i worked at, when it was closing time they would throw away everything that wasn't eaten, and if anyone tried to take some home they would be fired
