Cliantro and the cheapest lunchmeat I can find. Then find the cheapest bread I can find.
Cliantro = 50 cents
Bread = 89 cents
Lunchmeat = 99 cents

Lasts a good week of lunch.

I used to make Rice A Roni out of fried rice and top ramein. I can't remember how to do it exactly.

Whole cucumber in a hot dog bun.

Semi cooked top ramein, so that it is sort of crunchy (mmmmmmmm).

Egg drop top ramein is AWESOME, BTW. Cook as per usual, but drizzle a raw egg (beaten) in for an additional minute. Sometimes I add frozen peas. Shoot, I ate that for lunch yesterday!

A little irrelevant but, my friend once told me he had chicken nuggets one day at the DC in UC Berkeley, and then the next day the DC had the left over chicken nuggets and covered them with sweet and sour sauce and called it sweet and sour chicken.

Yea, sounds right. I know at the UC Riverside dorms, last night's carne asada is tomarrow afternoon's burritos, or last night's leftover burgers are tomarrow afternoon's patty melts.

Tunafish, Cranberries, and lettuce on a roll.

Peanut Butter & Jelly with nacho cheese doritos mixed in on white bread.

Two days straight with nothing to eat except Pixie Stix, and Kool Aid. I was a super ball that bounced at the drop of a hat after those two days.

2 Products which do not exist in the US. Poffertjes with vruchtenhagelslag. Poffertjes are like sweet, tiny pancakes, to be eaten hot with butter and powder sugar. Vruchtenhagelslag is for on bread, sugar with flavors (which have to taste like fruit but don't, they taste terrible nowadays). It wasn't too bad, and as someone had dumped it over the whole load of poffertjes it was either that or nothing. Was 4am and we were all drunk anyway.

The people at Rutgers University had a similiar idea one night. They did the same thing but this time called it General Tso's Chicken at the Orient Express Line. :Q

Macroni and barbeque sauce. Get the macroni in 1lbs bags, the sauce from the cafeteria for free.

general tso is FAR from sweet and sour chicken...it's the red-sauce covered meat with those black long peppers that are super spicy.

Coldcut sandwich + pickles + cheese + ketchup heated up in the microwave for 25 seconds

Doesn't sound too weird but everyone in my family thinks I'm nuts for eating that

Other than that I eat fairly normal

hahahaha thats gold.


i just used to steal food from the cafeteria if i ran out. they seemed to have a problem with it...All you can eat my ass!

anyways, now that im not longer a freshman, PB n J is the way to go, even though albacore and some mayo cannot be beat. I have loads of ramen but no microwave.. :(

this is why i stopped using marijuana... i'd just get too freakin hungry and spend like 8 bucks on food and crap at once.
