Wow, you guys are far more sophisticated than old peasant me 🙂
Here's another one I trully enjoy:
Corn on a stick, right out of the boiling water, and covered with delicious, real, mouth-watering, deep yellow butter. And some salt.
How dellllllllllllllllllicious that is, uh!

In my years at the university, with a scholarship and a hilariously small allowance to survive, my idea of gourmet food and decadent eating jubilee was: ramen soup (you know, those instant noodles with chicken flavor) with Ritz crackers broken inside the bowl... and some olives. Damn, the can of olives was more expensive that the other stuff altogether!
Man, I ate that thing with my eyes closed, as a monk in spiritual extasis.
Once a month.
I remember my days at university too - I used to use the hot water (it is REALLY hot at universities) to fill up the sink and then put a can of food into it for 20 minutes then open and eat - the heat travels through by a process called conduction (this word might get you an A if you mention it in a physics GCSE, so commit it to memory) and warms the contents of the can.
Also it meant I never had to leave my room, not even to go to the toilet - a sink in the room was as good as having en suite.

I had Marmite in hot water with pizza crusts (salt and pepper on special occasions or when guests were around).
And I never bought the pizza crusts.

Bloody Nazi caretakers.
Originally posted by WoodgieThere was a pizza place in my neighborhood that offered one free pizza for every 5 you bought. On garbage day, my roommate and I would go out with scissors and cut the coupons off the boxes on people's curbs. Sometimes, we'd end up with 4 or 5 free pizzas.

Ah, university days.
My biggest glory was to be banned from the all-you-can-eat pizza parlor in front of the uni.
I started at 13:00 , ate like a hippo, then pulled out my books, made the homework, went to the toilette, then ate again, and the cycle was repeated 3 times. After 5 or 6 hours I was ready not to eat for a couple of days.
The third time I did it they banned me. Not kidding, my photo was behind the counter for all employees to deny me entrance!
Originally posted by rbmorrisI used to do a similar thing with cigarette butts. I would collect up every one I could find, pull the leftover tobacco out, then sell it to people.

Ah, those were the good old days.

Originally posted by rbmorrisAnother scam was to place a phone order for a few pizzas to be delivered to a bogus address. When the delivery guy inevitably returned to the shop with the pizzas, they would go straight in the bin.

Good eating.
