Nice thread about everyones favourite meals but what about the times when you were too skint to eat good food. this is one of my student 'fillers'
Tin of ravioli heated in a dish, covered in scrambled egg, sprinkled with cheese then grilled for 5 mins with loads of bread. Got me through many a hungry day for about 25p! 
Please share yout your cheap meal deal or student concoction for frugal times |

Make up a pan of stock and cook some rice. In a separate pan/wok fry onions til soft. Add tuna, sweetcorn, frozen veg, or whatever else you have in fridge or cupboard, when the rice is done add the rice to the wok. Loads of black pepper, job done. Eat it hot then, and take the left overs in to uni for lunch the next day. |

Get a packet of really cheap instant noodles, throw away the packet of flavour crap that comes with it.
Crush up the noodles in a large bowl,add in one sachet of Miso soup power and then pour over boiling water till the bowl is nearly full. stir with a fork, then pop the bowl in the microwave for 90 seconds. Take it out, stir in some soy sauce.
Instant tasty asian fusion food, cost about 50p.

(you can alo add any other veg you have laying around of off cuts of meat etc,)

When I was a student nurse, the first month was really tough. I lived in a room in the hospital and didn't know a soul. For the first month I bought a giant box of corn flakes, a bag of sugar, instant coffee and Marvel dried milk.  |

i lived with 12 other guys at uni, and we regularly lived off mashed spuds and branston pickle bought in bulk from cheapo stalls in in Bull Ring in Brum (great way to line the stomach before going to the pub!)...
happy days! |

One of my favourite fillers was a stock cube added to a pan of boiling water and throw in some dried pasta. I'd eat it, stock and all....my kids still sometimes ask for a bowl of that 'belly ballast' |

My kids used to look in fridge and cupboards and declare "theres nothing in to eat!" I would say what you mean is theres no crap to eat - and what you lack is imagination and a world beyond crisps and cooked ham! |

32 years have passed and I felt sad typing it. Not thought about that in years! Met my husband walking home to my parents house for something to eat, that's what I remember about that time. |
