Re: People just don't understand

Man there's all kinds of poor people food like this. I still don't bother buying buns most of the time bc like why?

Don't forget quesadillas made in the microwave. (Or, peanut butter and jelly or sugar+cinnamon on a tortilla, because they were cheaper than a loaf of bread.) Turning boxed mac n cheese into a "meal" by adding a can of diced tomatoes or some chopped up hot dogs. So many things. I ate so much of that crap as a teenager. Buying a can of vienna sausages as like a "fancy" thing to have hahaha. And one of my favorites was making "dessert" that just consisted of butter on a cold piece of white bread and then sprinkling some sugar on it.

When I moved to the rich kid school, I went over ot people's houses and it was like wtf what is all this food? They had fancy name brand soda rather than just koolaid mix and goldfish crackers or triscuits or something rather than saltines.

YES! I've done all of this and, honestly, my comfort food when I'm feeling down is still a lot of this.

I USED TO DO THIS TOO! I didn't even see it as a poverty thing, just as something I could make as a kid (since my parents didn't allow a lot of sweets in the house, which in retrospect *was* partly a financial issue, as well as a health issue, but I didn't get that at the time). I figured it was like cinnamon-sugar toast, but without the toasting or the cinnamon.

Brown sugar on hot buttered toast is the best version of this. I still make this when I feel like a sweet snack. :)
