re: #315 FFL (GOP Delenda Est)

I recall eating Cup O Noodles quite a bit in my college years at times when I only had access to hot water. Also very popular if you had access to a fridge (to store milk and butter/margarine), stove and some pots and pans was generic mac and cheese mix since you could get those five for a buck at the local Giant Eagle.

Instant noodles are popular with the homeless, for obvious reasons. It was my idea to start stocking them in bulk at our church pantry. It’s been a big hit. We have one client who likes Vienna sausages with Ramen or Cup O Noodles. Haven’t tried that but it might work. Canned chopped ham ($1 for 4 ounces) definitely does. For hungry people who have homes (a larger group than the actual homeless), the frozen mixed vegetables are an excellent choice for all kinds of things. I never liked the canned mixed veggies, but I discovered recently that the Wal Mart store brand of “Mixed Vegetable Medley” is actually pretty good. I got some of those for my emergency food stash, too.

I know all this will absolutely horrify suburban foody snobs. Fuck them and their pretensions.
