    Bread and ketchup is actually pretty nice, I eat it happily despite not being poor as fuck now.

    Worst I've had was a tin of plum tomatoes with english mustard mixed. Right before pay day, last of my money spent on gig tickets, cupboards were bare, drunk as hell. Usually I just lived on sandwiches, omelettes and dry pasta.

    For me personally cheese on bread and small tuner can with cheap water crackers. Canned baked beans would be one too. I got a good food budget that I got set so this sorter thing doesn't happen well hopefully.

    But it doesn't taste that bad.
    My uncle eats this, I tried it once. It's not horrible but not my taste.

    I can't say ive ever eaten anything from being poor but.. I have eaten stale cereal, not too bad honestly. Hard bread and tea ( I think hard bread is a british thing, not too sure) it's very cheap and good. PB Sandwiches, very cheap and good. Rice, you can buy in bulk for like extremely cheap, unless you live in japan or somewhere where it is a more common meal.
