Great. I’m expert too in ‘pauper food’ and I like to do nice stuff from leftovers. It’s so bad to throw the food to the bin 🙁 .
For today, I’m gonna ‘recycle’ some chickpea, some humus, some pork, some parsley and with some help from a few spices I’m gonna do a nice oriental style pizza 🙂 .
I love this post. Usually when you read about someone saying they had ‘nothing’ to eat in their house, they end up with some amazing spices and a load of weird shit that most people don’t have in their press. But this? This is as close to having ‘nothing’ as most of us get (apart from actually having nothing.I call those days the pasta-and-salt days) .I’m going to make this tomorrow for breakfast.
Ah I’m with you on this one. Sometimes its just plain difficult to get to the shops so my backup is to use pitta bread for the base, pesto for the sauce then whatever else I can find. Cooks in the oven in no time and is rather tasty considering …
My kids love a version of this on a flour tortilla. It works really well for tea especially catering for individual tastes. You can use tomato puree, salsa or ketchup as the base, salami, sausage (polish or irish), tuna whatever and top with grated cheese takes less than 5 minutes
tuna cans are always a life saver… specially a week before payday..
i may add to that flour and probably egg.
in the days where i don’t even have bread in the house, a couple of spoons of flour + 2 eggs + salt + pepper+ any herbs i can find near by (dried or fresh, optional). then fry on low heat, and enjoy with any leftover sauce , ketchup, mayo, chutney even tomato puree works just fine
suppose you have no flour , but have an egg and some bread..
no problems… just french toast it 🙂
always a potato hanging around, into the oven for an hour and then whatever is in the fridge, especially good if there is cheese of some sort…on occasion, it’s been just a good dollop of ketchup on top

When theres nothing in the house, like now, I make pancakes. There are always milk, flour, eggs and maple syrup in my bunker.
