No matter how rich or poor you are, these low-budget meals just hit the spot.

If you've lived the kind of glorious existence where you've never encountered 'poverty meals' before, then I can honestly tell you that - privileged as you were - you missed out on some seriously good eating!

'Poverty meals' are those low-budget meals that have sustained the less fortunate for a long, long time. They're cheap, filling, and oddly comforting! This is 'stick-to-your-ribs' kind of food that's so genuinely delicious, I'd sometimes beg my mom to make these even when times were good!
