Hate to double post but I'm slightly hungover. I also consume tons of sodium, which I shouldn't. It took my dad and his brother out at a young age. Salt really is addicting.

Not sure if you're the same but I don't really go in for anything sweet anymore besides chocolate and rarely cola. I think salt and sugar are so diametrically opposed that it's rare to have a taste for both.
I prefer vegg over fruit as well this all has to be connected

I was a stoner in my high school and college days so I have a high affinity for foods that I don't have to spend a lot of time cooking unless I have a girl or family over. I like pork rinds even though I'm Muslim (I don't practice Islam, just born into it and have a super Muslim name), my brothers get on me for it but I think it's more of a health concern cause that stuff has hell of a lot of sodium in it.

The specific combination of sugar, salt and fat is what most fast food is based on and is why it's addictive and designed to be such. That said, if you seriously cut down on one or more of them for an extended period of time you'll find yourself disgusted by fast food or soda if you try it again.

Some massive but elicious samoas from our local Indian joint. This place makes just killer ones and they are HUGE but some how still balanced not too much of anything but like 2-3 are a meal on their own. Oddly enough since they already are comically over sized, as a meat eater, I prefer veg ones. Not just there but over all.

Samosas are awesome.

If you're eating the right portion it's like a dollar per shot. You eat about a quarter of the can, put the rest in a Ziploc. Mixed with a couple of packs of 50 cent noodles and that's $1.50.

That's a poor kid meal.

Who would eat an entire can of spam in one sitting? You'd have a stroke from the sodium.

Yes, but your prize for saving money is... more spam. That's right, you get to eat spam all week!

If I'm picking questionable cheap processed meat products, I'd probably just go with bologna sandwich. Or the tried and true hotdog. And I think either of those was probably cheaper than spam on a per-serving basis anyway.

Also, if you want to enhance cheap packaged noodles, an egg or two (fried, or swirled in to the simmering broth) is really the way to go. There's a ridiculous amount of salt in the noodles anyway, and eggs are.. healthy-ish? good source of protein and nutrients, assuming you don't believe in things like cholesterol. And they're pretty cheap.

Yes but my counterpoint to that is that I like the taste of spam.

That egg thing sounds really really good. Also I completely drain the liquid out of my noodles after I'm done making them so I think most of the salt gets taken out with that. When I make ramen's I boil the flavor packet with the water and noodles and then I drain all the liquid and just eat the wet noodles.
 
Sous vide boneless chicken thighs breaded with seasoned flour and cajun seasoning, finished in the air fryer and topped with yum yum sauce.

Nice. They end up fully cooked but moist all the way through and you can cook them at the highest temperature to get a nice crust without having the inside either raw or overdone. I think I might try something more ambitious like a pork butt for pulled pork.

Nashville hot chicken sandwich.
There's this place near my old highschool that I used to hang out with friends that sold spicy as hell shit like death tacos, ghost pepper gumbo, etc. It's run by my friend's mom and the main reason she has mango habenero and nashville hot chicken is because of stuff I did.

Anyways went there to pick up a nephew, was hungry, and bought shit there. Apparently she hangs out with my mom still. Oh no.

Jailhouse style "lobster rolls." Basically a can of tuna salad from a snack packet and a pack of sandwich ready tuna on new England style hot dog buns.

I say jail house style cause we'll it's the kinda thing inmates would make from the commissary meant to be a cheap imitation of something better.

Sister didn’t like these so gave me the entire box. Not bad for a quickie meal replacement. Never tried them before but they’re better than expected.

I had a cheese and pickle sandwich because I'm poor but it was delicous because I was hungry.

My go-to snack is a cheese sandwich - just bread and swiss cheese. Really freaks people out.

I just ate the most heinous breakfast thanks to @wry wrangler. Fruity Pebbles but instead of milk, the white chocolate flavored Starbucks frappucino in a bottle. I hate that it was good, but couldn't eat more than a couple bites.
