Re: Poor man's meals
My family was on a tight budget when I was growing up so we had a lot of cheap meals. We had a lot of "SOS" also but mom served it over rice instead of bread.
The best cheap meal ever was fish that my dad and I caught. I had to gut and scale the fish and then mom would cook it up.
Beef stew is a cheap meal that also tastes great. A small amount of beef can feed a lot of people especially if you grow your own vegetables in your garden.
Another favorite was "campfire" stew or jambalaya. Brown some ground beef, add a couple cans of vegetable soup, stir in a bunch of cooked rice and season to taste. Very simple and cheap but quite tasty.
My least favorite cheap meal was fried liver and onions. We always had liver at the end of the month before the next paycheck came because it was the cheapest "meat" at the butcher shop. My dad loved it but I never did acquire the taste for it.
