Every time we had a meal including gravy, my grandparents would literally have a side of white bread smothered in gravy. Cheap calories from back when you burned 4-5000 calories a day on the farm.

rndmnmbr posted:Chicken leg quarters are always cheap. Mix a can or two of cream of mushroom with rice and a little water, put the leg quarters on top, bake until done. For some reason, no matter how much salt you add before it cooks, it will always need more when done. This reminds me of a childhood favorite. Giant can of Cream of Mushroom soup, ground meat (beef or turkey depending on what was cheapest) and then dump that on some spaghetti noodles. My mother also used to cook me a huge pot of rice, then throw whole milk, cinnamon and sugar in there. Eat it hot and it was kind of like a cross between oatmeal and rice pudding. Usually get a week of breakfast out of that.

Fleetwood posted:spaghetti + butter This post made me recall how often during my childhood the only “snack” to be had was noodles with butter. And how many school lunches that got packed for me were just a peanut butter sandwich on one slice of bread, so half a sandwich. Maybe a juice box, but nothing else. And the gravy on bread thing, that was dinner pretty often, too  e: guess I shouldn’t say often on that last one, but frequently enough, at least.

And the gravy on bread thing, that was dinner pretty often, too My brother and I were lucky enough to qualify for the free lunch program, and also attend a school that had little old lunch ladies with decades of experience who knew what tasted good, back before Aramark conquered all. So our lunches were almost always kickass. Snack at home? Lol. To this day I am so loving burned out on eggs. Didn't like dinner? Sneak into the kitchen after bedtime, open a can of vegetables I liked with a load of margarine, make do until the next day. ... ... (Rant incoming) And you know what made every loving bite stick in my throat? My mom and stepdad had the checkbook, and anytime they wanted a snack, they just went to the store and got it, and wrote a hot check for it. And then when payday rolled around, spent an ever increasing amount of money covering hot checks, leaving less and less for things like groceries, until they were so deep in the poo poo my grandparents had to bail them out, again. "Oh, we couldn't afford many groceries this month, I'm sorry. We'll just have to tighten our belts this month, I promise next month will be better and we can buy some snacks" AAAARGH NO YOU'RE THE REASON WE'RE IN THIS MESS! I hope that $30 bottle of Dr. Pepper and bag of chips was loving worth it! *pants* ...So yeah, I may have some food security issues.

Cheese + BBQ sauce + ruffles. Picking cactus fruit off the neighbor's cacti that went into our side of the lawn and getting poked a million times and making cactusade. Same with lemons I guess. pandy fackler posted:those dollar tubes of chorizo paste with eggs and potatoes in a tortilla By default chorizo was mixed with eggs in my household to the point the whole thing was called "chorizo." I was really confused a few years ago when chorizo started to get popular and it was just a catch-all term for mexican sausage. I guess sausage+egg=chorizo was just a california thing.

Then i'd skip a day and i'd come back 48hrs after the first meal. so it was 3.5 buffet trips/week I don't know if it's the same now post pandemic where takeout at buffets has become more common but the Lin's Asian Buffet policy was if you wanted a plate to go, they weighed your food. I don't know what the dollar per pound ratio was but I could get two separate meals out of $3.50 and the regular buffet was like $13.00 with a drink.

I think that's super common, and not specifically a California thing or, considering the thread title, a "poverty food" thing, but just a typical thing. I guess "chorizo" is technically the sausage, but if I ordered a breakfast chorizo burrito and there was no egg involved without it saying otherwise, I would understand but still be surprised, because it's so expected. I'm not trying to talk semantics here, just saying that yeah, I think that's usually the norm in many areas.

Around here chorizo is just one of the 8 or so meats you can get at the Mexican street carts for your tacos or tortas. It's just spicy ground sausage. But if you do go to a mexican restaurant and they happen to have a breakfast offering, it always has chorizo. Dual purpose meat, i guess.

One of my staples lately has been these frozen pierogis from the bargain market. It’s $3 for a two pound bag which imo is a pretty good price. All they need is a bunch of mayo for dipping and if im feeling ritzy enough some cheese to melt on top

Honestly, they're almost all the same, just different levels of spice. I think Nissin Cup Noodles has the best non-spicy flavors so far. Anything they put out I've liked. They've got regular cups, and large cups. However, they also have a "Stir Fry Rice with Noodles" cup, which is probably the only one I've had that was radically different between the millions out there. Because rice. And it's more of a sauce than a soup. We have an Asian food mall that has just a ton of noodles. I've had to use the translate app on some of them to figure out the cooking times, and when to add one of the five packets some of them come with. But, they really do all taste the same. Some more fishy or beefy than others etc. Philthy fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Nov 23, 2022 |

I just want one of those Japanese cup noodle vending machines installed in my kitchen, with all the weird flavors like salt, or cheese curry, or tonkatsu miso. Maybe throw in some of the weird Korean flavors too, like kimchi with nuclear meltdown levels of heat.

I almost always see chorizo with egg in breakfast burritoes in my town because we have a high density of hispanics. And then there's the del taco chorizo burritos and the starbucks chorizo breakfast sandwiches. It's popular because it's different and it tastes real good. I don't think prices factor into it at all. Sure, it might be cheaper, but not as cheap as just not including it on the menu and instead using more egg.
