My family slum foods (really 50s-style cuisine made in the 70s): Casserole #1: ground beef fried with onions, combined with: canned macaroni and cheese, canned corn, canned kidney beans, and tomato paste; and Casserole #2: ground beef fried with onions, mixed with egg noodles boiled with a beef boullion cube, combined with: canned mushrooms, canned tomato soup, and lots of cream cheese. Sprinkle crushed potato chips on top, dot with butter, and bake. I occasionally get a taste for #2, but manage to stave it off. In high school, I often made a pot of rice, then mixed it with a can of tomato soup. It was delicious sludge. Pickle or lettuce sandwiches with mayonnaise on white bread. Cream cheese and green olives on white bread. Macaroni and cheese from a box with link sausages and ketchup. My own poor student days included vats of thin chicken soup, no-brand boxed macaroni and cheese, no-brand ramen noodles, and no-brand hot dogs. Lots of eggs. Cold ravioli from the can, or with melted munster cheese on top. Current slummy loves include tortilla chips with cottage cheese and salsa and tomato sandwiches on white bread with velveeta and mayonnaise. And I still like Campbell's Veg Veg and Tomato Bisque soups.
