As a starving student there was a period when my standard dinner was
sardines and saltines, followed by quarter beer night.

Once, as an art project/joke I made a bunch of balony sandwiches with
the cheapest meat and bread. The only condiment was quotes from Oscar
Wilde. I hadn't had lunchmeat in years. Surprisingly tasty.
