Coffee Pot Ramen

Think back to your college days and remember some of the "meals" you used to eat back then. Do you still eat that way, sometimes? Peanut butter on a tortilla sure didn't seem right to me, but when I replied to questions of what it was with "dinner", I didn't get that many strange looks. And that model meal of nutrition was prepared, and eaten with delight I might note, yesterday.

And I haven't lived in a dorm for years.

Alright, so there wasn't any food in the house and the nearby grocery stores were all closed. Did you expect me to eat late night fast food? What's open at those hours, anyways, Wendy's and Taco Bell? Mm-mmm! Suddenly, that makes it seem like an okay thing to do because what I did was healthy. Right?

Right.

Share your worst frugal meals. You know you still do it. You can even claim it was out of necessity and I'm sure no one will blame you then. Women, of course, never eat as badly as guys do, so I don't expect any stories from the females of The Cellar.

"Breakfast."

Warm beer and a twinkie.

How do you mean "worst"?

For a while in college I lived on Pop-Tarts and IBC Cream Soda. I wouldn't go so far as to say it was healthy, but I enjoyed it.

Those kitchen concoctions that are created when there is simply not enough food in the kitchen to make something reasonable, either through lack of money, time, etc.

Pop Tarts always had way too much sugar in them for me. That, combined with IBC, would have made my head explode. Mmm... delicious.

A-1, it should be noted, works on steaks and nothing else. Trust me.

Rice with ketchup.

And you're right, most women won't sink to the depths that desperate men do with regard to food.

One guy I dated described a time at which he thought it was perfectly rational to have oatmeal with onions. Both started with "O" and it was around dinner time. Were it breakfast, he said, he wouldn't have added the onions (He has a PhD in computer science, which pretty much explains everything).

I've lived on bread and coffee for a week. Just straight white bread, rip a lump off the loaf.

I have a friend who adds peanut butter to his ramen noodles. He alternatively will add a slice of American cheese on occasion.

I used to mix black beans, Rotel (both straight from the can,) and cheddar cheese.

I once ate a Vegemite sandwich. Choked down two bites, then threw it away. Never again, I tell you!

I know this isn't exactly anything too desperate, but ...

Kroger used to sell boxes of 48 frozen corn dogs for something around $5 ... my roommate and I bought 3 or 4 at a time and ate them day and night. You would think they would get disgusting after a while, but no, once you have one you can't stop. Fantastic.

Actually a great cold noodle dish that my mom makes sometimes ... basically peanut butter and soy sauce over noodles with whatever you want in them. Must mix cold to get that gooey sauce coating, otherwise the soy sauce runs off and you just have peanut buttery noodles. Like a demented version of pad thai.

Rice, milk, and sugar. I was surprised to find that other people know this as well. Has to be day-old rice from the fridge, too. Kind of like a make-shift cereal and it is surprisingly good.

Add heat and that's Rice Pudding.
