Sundried tomatoes on french bread is very nice. Cream tea is a nice pudding too. Ever eat pot noodles? They're still good once in a while...
fish finger sandwiches, i defy anyone not to like them.
Getting hungry!

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.

There was a trick I was always tempted to try but never got round to it.
1. Phone up a delivery company and place an order using a mobile (or cellular, as they call them in america) to somebody elses address.
2. Wait outside the house and watch them get cross and send the delivery guy away, saying something like "I didnt order all this food, ...[text shortened]... ff the guys hands at a reduced price rather then him having to take it back and throw it away.

So, guys, back in the uni days, what is the most horrorific, cheapest, nastiest thing you've drank to party hardy?
I fermented pinneaple skins in a bucket filled up with water and sugar. Left it for days and it never took off, but the glass of it I tasted made me sick for a whole weekend!
Originally posted by AThousandYoungThe crackers sound awful. But olives can be good. It depends on how much of the flavoring sticks around. If it's very little, then just chop the olives and sprinkle some Parmesan on and you have a nice Mediterranean dish.

If it's a lot, it would obviously be way too salty.
Originally posted by AThousandYoungNow, you're speaking here of the elotes that are sold in the streets of Mexico: Mayo, chile salsa, and fresh cheese. Delicious!
Don't forget the cheese! Many people like chile too, but I prefer my elotes without.
You know, when I was a kid, my parents tried very hard to keep me from eating those corns in the streets, as well as 'raspados' (crushed ice with syrup), because they said they were against all rules of hygiene and I was going to get sick. But man, they were so delicious! So I only got convinced when I saw the man who sold them in my neighborhood, leaving his little corn car and going into ti bushes, with some newspapers, to take a crap... and returning directly from the bushes to prepare more corn without even washing his hands.
I thought it was so disgusting that I agreed with my parents. So one day my mom tells me "don't be sad, son, we will make the same elotes for you and your brothers here at home". So she managed to buy the corn from the same farmers, buy the same brand of mayo, prepare the chili sauce the exact same way, and the cheese from the same farmer who provided the elote street sellers.
She tried and tried and tried... but the elotes never tasted the same.
Hence, I concluded (at my very own age) that:
(a) The unique, delicious flavor of street food in Mexico is owed precisely to the un-hygienic way it is prepared.
&
(b) When the world is wiped off after the third world war and the nuclear devastation... there will only be as survivors: Cockroaches and Mexicans, because after eating in the streets what we eat, nothing can kill us, man, not even a nuclear war, lol!

I'm the only person who enjoys this in my immediate family and friends circle, but it used to be a hit in my varsity days after a good piss-up:
Sautè some onions and garlic, add can of corned meat, brown it a little, mashing up the corned meat and then add about 4-6 eggs, making one big scramble-jumble of it all.
Place on toast with lots of your favourite hot sauce and enjoy!
Enough for 4 people.
