What did you in college because you were poor and couldnt afford better food?!
My roommate and I used to eat butter & sugar mixed together!. We called it "poor mans cookie"!. Gross eh!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Used to eat big dry shredded wheat with warm water!. Apple slices with peanut butter and iceberg lettuce with white sugar sprinkled on it! My roomie and I called the lettuce 'rabbits dessert'!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Took a job in a high end restaurant so I got decent meals most of the time!.
Grew tomatoes and potatoes in pots - almost for free!.
Butter and Sugar are some expensive foods - you can get a lot of food for that!. We also ate a lot of pasta with tomato sauce, mashed potatoes, big stews like pasta with meat sauce, chicken and only bought items on sale from discount stores or asian markets and would not be picky but rather creative!.
Lastly, when we wanted to go out we went to company cafeterias as they are often subsidised by the companies and you will get a choice of hot food as well as large salat bars!. Found the better food was from the newspapers and banks!. The newspaper cafeterias are also open for dinner!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Butter and sugar and bread was only a dream to us!! We couldn't afford those things!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
