    I don’t know why anyone would choose ramen as a poverty meal. Beans cost about the same and are far more nutritious.

      Good thing I’m a nutrient consuming robot who just needs fuel to power my circuits and not a human who has to taste things.

      Frankly I don’t know why the grocery store has anything other than just beans. It would save so much time.

          Wait, you’re saying you can get the same “nutrition to cost” value out of wet beans? I assumed you meant dry beans (and this would need to soak and actually cook them).

          This might just be location specific, but wet beans are much more expensive (in terms of calories per dollar) compared to ramen every where I’ve seen (lived in South West and Mid Atlantic of US).

          Are you saying that’s not the case where you’re at?

      One of my favorite meals is beans, sausage, and rice with some hot sauce mixed in. It’s such a nice comfort food, and it’s incredibly cheap and pretty nutritious.

        You can also use ground beef, you buy the cheapest meat and ask them to grind it, or like me you have the hand cranked one at home.
