I saw on a documentary there were ppl in zimbabwe who ate tree bark for want of anything else. didn't look particularly nutritious, but it's cheap as far as I know.

My mate in first year had a similar problem to you. He ended up buying 100 economy burgers and a loaf of bread everytime he needed it and lived off burger sandwiches.
Yeah iceland is dirt cheap. i find their budget meat in their ready meals taste a lot like I imagine dog meat to taste lol.

Your friend is a hero. Did he not end up getting sick eating economy burgers and nothing else?

Nah, for the 3 months he ate them for he never once got sick of them, definitely a trooper. I have however lived with him for the past 2 years and haven't seen him touch an economy burger, so they may have left some bad memories with him haha.

Yeah, some of their ready meals are damn vile! I remember buying their curry ready meal (I think it was) and the amount of pepper I had to add was mental!

the product reflects the customer, vice versa.
