“Grilled cheese is great at pretending to be bougie food too. My brother and I used to go to the store together and splurge on fancy-ish cheese (i.e. still the precut stuff in plastic in the dairy section, not the high end stuff in the deli section or the fancy cheese cooler) and see who could come up with the best combination of cheeses and bread from the bakery section. I think we settled on sourdough, smoked gouda, havarti, and cream cheese.” — The_Tic-Tac_Kid

“Thing called goup, it’s something my father came up with when he was super poor after leaving the army in the 80s when the economy was fucked, and it’s now like a staple in our family. It’s like a stroganoff or something I guess, the recipe is one can of cheap cream of mushroom soup, one of those 80cent things of sour cream, the empty soup can full of milk, a dash of 1$ steak sauce, seasoning and cheap ground beef over noodles. Costs just a couple bucks to make and feeds an entire family of four.” — SkeeveTheGreat
