When I was broke, but never on government assistance and didn't know about church charity kitchens that hand out food... ramen and Mac and cheese (that I made with water, yuck!) were at the top of my list. I lived on those. Now, 30 something years later, I discovered ramen again and it's pretty Ok. Different than it was 30 years ago! Boxed Mac and cheese though... still yuck.
I totally agree. Every now and then ramen sounds good. I haven't eaten mac and cheese in 20 years and I don't think I'll ever eat it again.
I stopped eating mac & cheese years ago, because of the astronomical carb count. Same for ramen.
Every one of you in this thread is crazy, I love Velveeta Shells and Cheese doctored up with milk, more cheese, jalapeños, ham etc. and I always have a variety of premium ramen from the Asian market. I was on the swim team and still swim a lot now so loading up on carbs and sodium is normal to me.
AND... you can dump other things into the mac-and-cheese or ramen like tuna, spam, vegetables, etc and stretch it out for more meals.
Cracking a couple eggs into chicken ramen with some bean sprouts and jalapeños was how I managed when I was broke. Complete meal with everything you need for about a buck... probably $2 now under the Biden regime. I couldn't tell you how much since I started raising my own chickens.
