This seems like a perfect opportunity to post one of my favourite pics:

Sometimes it's shit, but somehow the fact I only paid 99p for it makes it taste better somehow. Rich folk tend to think the other way around I think.

Frozen pizzas are great, I totally agree with you there. Dunno if you get them in the states, but I really like Freschetta spicy chicken pizzas. Great crust, great topping - made better by the fact that Iceland always seems to have them on offer :) Chicago Town ones aren't bad either.

Having said that, I did buy an Asda (owned by Walmart) own brand pizza and it tasted like ass. It was really bloody bland.

The fresh pizzas that cost roughly 4 times as much rarely taste any better, and piss me off because when I've eaten one, I realise I've paid �4 for one meal, when I could have made some tasty spag bol for about 80p per portion.

Cereal is a big part of my diet too, in addition to milk (skimmed, semi, or whole, I don't care.)

I only have a few staple recipes that I cook at home. All are cheap :) 

I also love NoName Steaks. I've never had a bad NoName Steak. Although they cost like $100 they're good. Really, really good. Mmmmmmmmmm.

This one is a piece of piss to cook, and costs next to nothing. Ideal for students and people who tend to be broke all the time (me.)

I call it "Eggy Rice With Stuff" It's great hot or cold. When I say "great" I mean, it's alright, nothing special, but think about how cheap and easy it was to make and you will feel all nice and warm inside.
You will need:
* 2 medium eggs (cheap battery eggs are fine)
* a cup of rice (doesn't matter what type really, cheapest will probably do)
* 3-4 rashers of bacon (any type is fine)
* a small onion (red is nicer, but any will do)
* 4-6 medium white mushrooms

Wash the rice if you can be arsed, doesn't make much difference. Drain it and then put in a cup of water (you should use about the same amount of water as rice.) Pop it on the stove with a lid on the pan and leave it on a low heat. You should also slap a bit of oil in a frying pan and stick it on a medium heat.

scramble the eggs a little bit, don't cook them, just get them to a state where they are a bit runny, but not raw.

Wipe the pan out and keep it going on a medium heat.

Chop the bacon first, followed by the onion, then the 'shrooms. Doesn't really make much dfference, but you will want the bacon in the pan first, so it makes sense.

Put the bacon in the pan, followed by the onion about two minutes later. Don't stir it too much unless you want it all to taste of bacon. Pop in the mushrooms last.

check the rice. Hopefully it will nearly be cooked. There shouldn't be much water in the pot after 10 minutes of cooking. At this point, stir the egg in and pop the lid back on.

When the bacon and shit are looking good, give them a taste. Put them in the pot with the rice and egg when you think they are about ready. Mix it all up, put the lid back on, take it off the heat and leave it for a few minutes (2-3 is fine).

Eat. Maybe you fucked it up, maybe you didn't. Either way, it didn't cost you much, so be grateful. 

How dare you use onion in your recipe! Do you not respect the Master?

Hatatatatatatatataah! =P 

I am a sucker for those frozen Chicken/Beef/Turkey pot pies from Swanson. They are usually 99 cents a package, but sometimes on sale for 50 cents (!!) You can't find a better pot pie anywhere IMO.

Ramen noodles are inexpensive and abundant. They satisfy the heart with brothy noodle goodness, and stimulate the mind with ancient Asian wisdom. 

The superiority of a culture can be gauged by its choice of fast food. Yay Japan and Britain! Long live noodles and fish and chips! 

2am. Kebab shop. Meat and chips please. No salad. Yes, all the sauces. *munch* *munch*. 

then I might say something 

You came up with the idea of starting a food thread, just do it and get it over with. 

There is something inherently wrong with a donner, but I kind of like them anyway. When you wander up to a Kebab van or shop and see that odd looking blob of meat rotating on the skewer, it can be somewhat offputting, but on the other hand, at least they keep it where I can see it... I at least know that nobody is busy wiping their cock on it when I tell them that actually I didn't want coleslaw, which is more than can be said of McDonalds.

Btw, has anyone compared the offerings from branches of McDonalds in different countries? I am guessing that each branch of McDonalds in the UK employs a guy to sit on each burger before it is popped in the box, but I didn't find this was the case in Japan. I didn't visit McDonalds in Germany, although wherever I went, the McDonalds branches seemed to be disguised by some impressively old looking structure and less in your face coloured plastic than in the UK. Oh, and the Japanese branches of McDonalds had more choice and served better food than the ones here. What the hell is up with that? FUCK YOU McDonalds. Fuck you and your stupid "I'm lovin' it" slogan. Cocksuckers.

No, I don't want a Big fucking Mac before anyone asks :) 

If an onion taught me karate, maybe I could give it a bit more respect. An onion without the ability to sing and dance is much more likely to end up in my frying pan.

Wendy, I never did ask... are you a man, or a woman? :) 

I just watched MadFox's .mpg clip, linked a few posts previously, and I'm not entirely sure - it might just be my mind playing tricks on me - but I could swear I just saw a fleeting glimpse of Yog-Sothoth giving me a "thumbs-up".

if you really want to be twisted you can use the 0_hull to crawl to the exit. Point is, then the rest of the level is pointless.

I thought I made the diagonal brushes enough to permit crosspassing, but indeed you found another one.
Thanks.

for the offer of joy - I'm impressed!
for the lack of venture - I'm not so impressed!

You are what you beat! 

Oh, take it from me - she's a woman... although even I had my doubts at first. ;) 

I was visiting some of my family who are from New Orleans a year ago, and the McDonald's that I visited served red beans and rice.

Big Yuck-o, I hate beans. 

The teriyaki burger in japanese mcdonalds is pretty good =) (I only went to mcdonalds once there, so didn't really taste much else, but it tasted better than the shit in France and the US). 

pure shit... my memory of what appeared to be a brand shiny new Mcdonalds in france during lunchtime was as vacant as the space between Cardo's asscheeks. Imagine that, a country who's past is enriched with the whole idea of 'gourmet' and McDonalds nobody eats at! I was shocked even at the tender age of 11. Burger King in Paris was busier. But we went to this other 'chain' restaurant that had all you can eat pastas and It was friggin' aweseome. I forget the name. Bal what all you can eat buffer "italian" style chains are there? started with an 'F' i think.... I have to think on this one... 

.. and "gourmet idea" are for sure incompatible !!! It's my "frenchy" humble opinion... If you want good food in France, don't stop into McDonald, or Quick, or other fast food.. even Burger King are not good... You'd rather try "real" restaurants: it will be much more expensive, but here you find the french "gourmet idea" you were looking for... 

I was just mentioning McDicks as it was the current theme. Of course I ate wonderfully good during my visit to France. Altho lunch usually consisted of a baguette and cheese and maybe some pate if it was market sunday in our locale. 

I agree, McDonald is for sure the worst, but not the only one (unlucky we are), food chain right here... If you are looking for good food, and I mean real french gastronomy (and I easily guess it's all the same for others countries), you must avoid eating in fastfood like McDo or others.. !! 

No idea what that Italian food chain could be pope...
When I have to eat fast food in France (cause of lack of time to eat properly at noon), I usually eat at Quick, but thats just cause its the lesser evil (=it isn't american).
Then again I don't like proper french food so much, too much meat... Much prefer eating asian stuff... 

Kentucky Fried Chicken 

Now there's a good recipe ... it comes just like the riddle.
