If it's edible I like it. Reason being? I can't cook to save my life.
Story time, my job demanded me to go outta town for 2 weeks back in 2018, reimbursement claim takes too long in my office so I need to be smart with my food budget. Fortunately, boss booked me a motel, but I have no idea how to use the microwave or stove, my only choice is either eat outside or get creative. I chose the latter.
Here is my strategy:
Go to the market, buy canned sprats (the bigger the better), canned beans, a roll of aluminumum foil, sauce of your liking, toast bread that come in packs.
Back at the motel, cover the sprinkler with plastic or a piece of the aluninumum foil.
Take the clothes iron, I'm sure you all know where I'm going with this.
Make a makeshift stove, turn it around and use whatever to hold it in place, I usually use small chairs or tables, cover the iron surface with the alimuminum foil so it's easy to clean.
Day 1, enjoy the sprats, it should last you for lunch and dinner, once done don't throw away the can, it's gonna become our pan.
Every morning we only gonna eat toast, just put it in the pan and wait until it cooks, you can add sauce or jam or whatever, if alunumunim is burned after use, toss it and make a new one.
If you like coffee in the morning, buy a cheap one and make a huge batch on day 1, use your aluninunum foil to make a pot (may need the whole roll to make it so always keep an extra) to boil the water for coffee. Next morning I usually make a cup, again from the alinumilum, and I use the laptop adapter as coffee heater.
For dinner, we only gonna eat the beans, canned beans should last for few days or probably more, for variety you can buy cheap sides to go, like processed cheese or sausage, my personal fav is instant bolognese.
And that is how I survive 2 weeks in the uhhh wilds, it only cost about $26.
