[quote=Veritas]Not all brands of rice are equal. It depends on the rice. I do agree with you about the cost of rice and soy sauce and unopened white rice has a very long shelf life.[/quote]
You’re right, not all brands of rice are equal. However, they range between $30-40 for a 50 lb bag. One of those 50 lb bag can easily feed 2 people for at least 1/2 a year. 2 bottle of soy sauce can feed you about 1/2 a year. So, total cost for food for a a year would be ~$100. That’s what you call depression cooking :-).

Yeah just stir fry in some eggs, chili garlic sauce, soy sauce and green onion and you have poor man’s egg fu yung fried rice! Granted, the eggs would add some to the cost but if you buy eggs at 99 cents a dozen on sale that would only be another $50 per year to make some protein and add flavor to the rice! Now if you splurge and add some ground pork, beef or chicken on sale to it you have a complete gourmet meal!

This reminds me of what I used to eat in college –
Some examples I remember preparing …

Rice and Eggs.
Rice, eggs and lunchmeat.
Rice with mustard and a few slices of lunchmeat.
Rice with barbecue sauce
Pancakes made with just flour and water, topped with corn syrup.

mmmm, delicious.
