Back during my very lean undergraduate years, my food budget was also very lean. Maybe a couple of dollars a day. I learned to do magic with Ramen noodles and canned soup, maybe some cheese on top, and even a foray into potted meat food product now and again. And lots of canned tuna, and sardines, and generally cheap eats. Also, I learned to copy the coupons we got at the start of the semester that were loss leader items into some of the cheap eat places around the campus. I digress...
One item occasionally on the menu back then was canned corned beef hash. It was cheap, it was tasty, and yet very filling. Better than having Pork & Beans for supper.
I was reminiscing the other day, and grabbed a can of said hash, when I was bored and out of dinner ideas. It was actually not horrible.
Then things got complicated: Bitey smelled it, and he wanted it.
I gave him a couple of spoonfuls on his dinner plate, and he went nuts over it. He ate every bit of it and licked the plate clean.
I'm trying to figure out if I had cat food for supper, or if he had human food for supper.
