3-4 $1 sandwiches from McDonald's can get you through a day.

Of course, buying some rice and beans and making those yourself is cheaper, but poor people are usually stupid.

McDonalds in the UK is fairly expensive. If poor Brits are eating fast food they tend to eat Greggs or Chippy.

Also lots of frozen ready meals from the supermarket as >>8053464 says.

>>8053487

The Brit version of this is beans on toast.

Pot Noodle or a sandwich from Tesco

a lot of cheap takeaway, lived in the ghetto and the most popular thing is chicken and chips.

Once saw a guy go to a chicken and chip shop to buy some plain yogurt but he was probably on crack.

[Anonymous No.8053579]

I'm poor and British. I'm living on beans on toast until I find my next job.

I had pork chops the other day though, as a treat.

Other lower/ underclass folk I've met eat oven-food from Iceland, and occasionally badly made curries or bologneses. There's a vast range of lifestyles in the lower classes, though.

At places like Iceland and Asda, you can buy like 50 Chicken Nuggets for £2.

Also, you can buy a 2 Litre bottle of 7.6% ABV cider for the same price.

Another uk food question.

Do brits really eat alot of prepared ready made food from supermarkets? I ask because whennim watching brit tv or youtube videos that has to do with ppl going to the supermarket there are alot of single serving ready meals.

[Anonymous No.8053665]

>>8053652

Yes, especially middle class people.

Go to a Mark and Spencers or a Waitrose at around 6-7pm and you'll see tonnes of people in suits picking up their microwave 'pole and line caught tuna steak with organic cucumber relish' and a bottle of red wine.
These sacks of shit are actually what made me get into cooking because I so didnt want to be like them.

The skill of cooking is somewhat of a rarity, despite every cunt nowadays describing themselves as a 'foody'.

>That will mold and go bad, though.

Bread and baked beans are both loss leaders in UK supermarkets. They are far cheaper than rice and regular beans. You can also freeze bread and cook it straight from frozen in the toaster.

I understand that rice and beans are cheaper in America but they are not cheaper in the UK.

Beans on toast is a filling hot meal, only takes a two minutes to make and costs 35p. It isn't amazing but it is satisfying.

because they make dreadful financial decisions - hence poor.

They will have takeaway 5 times a week costing over £100 and not realise they could have spent £40 on shopping instead.
Plus they'd have to cook then.

This is a screenshot of the bestselling frozen meals at Iceland, a popular UK supermarket.

Look at this and tell me that British people don't care about food.

Look at it.

Spaghetti. Chicken Curry. Fried Rice. British people want to eat and enjoy a wide range of food. They want to know how to make things taste amazing. They WANT to but for some reason we just can't. We come home from a day in our depressing service industry jobs and all we want to do is look at pictures of the resort we are staying at in Spain in our annual holiday which we booked 1 month after getting back from our last annual holiday. We want to watch TV shows about people on benefits. We don't want to think about the Umami profile of fish sauce and how well it might work in a ginger and lemongrass Thai infused chicken curry. Life here is too depressing.

I actually spend a LOT of time in Iceland. I like to watch people there. I see them looking at the tasty frozen meals and saying things like 'oh that looks nice hon' and 'son you like Curry, how would you like curry instead of fish fingers?'. People here know something is wrong with the way they eat. But they are too busy trying not to get fired from their jobs stacking frozen meals onto the shelves that they just don't have the energy to figure it out.

You go to work
Your manager tells you to sort out the Indian food.
You take a Korma
You stack it onto a Tikka Masala.
You stack it onto a Balti.
You go on your break
You get a steak bake from Greggs.
You go back to work
You work on the American section
You stack onion rings on curly fries
You go home
You eat a microwaved Lasagna
You are British.

Anyone saying 'ready meals' forgets how expensive they are. Broke people in the UK eat a fuck ton of pasta and tinned stuff like tomato/beans, oven chips, fried egg/sausage, cheap frozen chicken products. Look in their fridge and you'll always find a massive block of £2 'cheese', some plastic white bread and shitty margarine. Guarantee it.

Also shit tea.

[Anonymous No.8056386]

>>8053460

Chinese surely, Indian takeaway is at least 50% more expensive.

I think they eat the frozen shit from Iceland (the frozen food store for non bongs) or Farmfoods. Turkey dinosaurs and these smiley face potato / chip things.

And lots of pot noodles / super noodles. And lots of cheap shit beer like Carling or Tenants.

Its true, I usually have a couple of slices with butter in the morning for breakfast because it is easy and filling. Tastes fine too with a coffee.

Is it not as popular in burgerland? We have toast with a cooked breakfast too. The toast sandwich thing is a meme though, never heard of anyone actually doing that.

Poor people are poor for a reason.

Most poor people have lots of takeaways and go to the pub often here in the UK. They use all their benefits on relatively expensive shit kebabs, beer and cigarettes.

The food they do tend to buy I've seen is stuff from Iceland (frozen meals or microwaveable stuff) or tinned things like heinz soups, tinned fish or jars of hot-dogs.

In busier cities like London definitely, if you're an office worker in the city you will pick either that or a sandwich up at lunch. And on your way back from work it's quick and easy to pick up and slam dunk in the oven or microwave for a fairly tasty meal.

Our microwave single meals are largely very good from the major supermarkets, especially 'finest ' ranges
