Honestly that's the same bread you get if you grow up as new money
WillyBigDee
I made sandwiches with that hotdog bun many a time.
AZRAELSBLADE

PulpyOJ
Raw toast

*Growing up normal
glovelyday
You got bread?
mallotman86
Tbh, # of hotdog buns are pain in the ass to match to hotdogs. This better bread to hotdog ration anyways.
muffingirlization
Spaghetti sauce and cheese, under the broiler for a few minutes, homemade pizza!
saboten13
Today I learned I grew up not poor, but have now graduated to poor? Lol hot dogs in white bread tastes great
sadurdaynight
How would you like your oatmeal for breakfast? Hot and slimy, or cold and rubbery?
vahnn
Don't forget it's also a Napkin, Spoon, Fork, Breadstick, and Crouton.
Gom190
Wait....You guys had bread?
jollyjack
Poverty makes you resourceful.
arfysdad
I once made tomato soup from collected ketchup packets I stole from McDonald's.

Hey @op I see that you voted! As a Canadian I can't take part so good for you!

joeyecho101
This didn't mean you're poor. It meant your parents weren't brainless suckers to Big Bake. Wake up, sheeple.
CanThinkOfUsername
That reminds me of adulthood too.
DeeDoubleYu
*Growing up poor but not 3rd world poor where you had to make your own different types of bread for even less money.
DeeDoubleYu
(which I'd imagine tastes waaay better than sliced white anyway)
PutThatCodfishDownAndPlaySomeTeeball
To this day I still prefer poor-folks' garlic bread over most other 'actual' garlic breads.
Pickledawg
It's more flavorful, better garlic-to-bread ratio
GymMatMeat
Wow, Moneybags. 4 pieces of bread?
davebeastly
Aussie: *put sprinkles on it* "Cake".

Awww my mother often did that for me when i was very young :)

CommanderXirlos
Oi. Fuck you. Fairy bread is a cultural treasure, along side Lamingtons, Neenish tarts and other brain dead baked goods.
LenoreO
From u.k I've started making sausage sizzles instead of sausage sandwiches. So much easier.
ObliqueRay
Poor people can't afford loaves of bread? I was in Romania a few years after communism fell and they could afford loaves of bread.
AdmJota
Yeah, being able to afford bread and meat doesn't make you poor. *Not* being able to afford bread and meat makes you poor.
ObliqueRay
What I don't understand is how OP could afford sliced bread, but not loaves.
AdmJota
Because most factory-baked bread comes already sliced. If you want bread that's not already sliced, that's more of a specialty product.
DanJDare
Sliced white bread is the cheapest bread available.
ObliqueRay
Must be an American thing.
DanJDare
I'm Australian.
Ryebread91
Why does this make me poor? I'm not gonna have buns just sitting waiting to go moldy or stale.
shyriath
I use buns for burgers because they don't taste right without them, but yeah, I use bread for all the other things for exactly this reason.
Bureaucromancer
Also, this makes a patty melt into some kind of poor man's burger.
Ryebread91
Having had patty melts I'd say they're just as good as a burger.
Bureaucromancer
Exactly my point
snikpmupgnihsamseht
You want some butter bread?
folkloreconsumer
With sugar on top for a cheap dessert
ProfessionalTwatWaffle
My mom added cinnamon on mine. It was really special if it was toasted.
folkloreconsumer
I love that! Grape jelly bread was my go to after school snack
ProfessionalTwatWaffle
Mine was peanut butter and brown sugar sandwiches.
folkloreconsumer
That sounds so much better than mine. Suddenly jealous of your childhood.
bunnyrut
Y'all got butter?
candidkismet
Crazy how true this is. I don't even think I knew what butter was until I became an adult.
altrdgenetics
ya i got a few packets left from when we ate at the buffet & mom put a handful of them in her purse. It was brothers special birthday dinner
candidkismet
*margarine
snikpmupgnihsamseht
Of course, but we called it butter because we're classy.
candidkismet
Oh yeah, we were never classy.
NeverEnoughFoxes
TIL: I grew up poor
RyanRichter
Living cheaply doesn't mean you're poor
lolsburn
It's okay. Most american's have been sold the illusion that they are middle class.
darkhelmet342
AdmJota
People seem to like to think they grew up poor for some reason. Using bread for burgers and hot dogs is common regardless of wealth.
MiniYams
To this day I prefer a burger on toast, the crunch is perfect.
GrandPoobahDeDoinkOfAllOfThisAndThat
My beans and rice for a week out of every month and the power being shut off multiple times a year beg to differ
AdmJota
Are you disagreeing with me or OP? Because it sounds like you agree with me: I assume you'd much prefer burgers on bread to beans and rice.
GrandPoobahDeDoinkOfAllOfThisAndThat
I'm not sure. I've been half asleep all day
SpammaJamma
Toast it, put some butter on it, sprinkle cinnamon....poor man French toast motherfucker!
xane
Yo if you got a toaster oven what you should do is butter both sides, sprinkle cinnamon on top and put it in, once the top starts to brown -
xane
flip it and apply more cinnamon, then wait until that side is fully browned.
LarthanD
I learned it's even better if you put the cinnamon-sugar on the buttered bread and *then* throw it in the toaster oven or big oven to toast.
gobhoblin
This! Cinnamon toast. We were poor but had a working broiler.
totallyserious69
I think just a single egg and it’s actual French toast. How much could a single egg possibly cost? $10?
sordatos
I mean if you have a egg, then is a french toast
ikagawa
That's just cinnamon toast, man. French toast requires egg and you'd use the same bread anyway.
SharkleberryFinn
You don't make French toast with white bread unless you want mush. Bad idea.
ikagawa
Stale white bread holds up fine.
OperationBusterJangle
Right...that's why it's called poor man's French toast and not regular French toast
ronnyhugo
crazy how hens used to be something every household kept. Now its illegal to grow tomatoes and potatoes in your backyard a lot of places.
RevenantBacon
?? Illegal to grow vegetables? I find that highly unlikely.
ronnyhugo
Try to grow anything but the particular species of grass and hedge and tree the suburb/apartment complex agreed upon, see what happens.
RevenantBacon
But it's not ANY kind of French toast, rich OR poor. It's JUST toast.
bpwyndon
French toast is the poor man's french toast lol, eggs and milk are cheaper than bread...
lonewolf9556
You still have to have bread to make the toast....
SayingThisIsTheWayRandomly
This is the way!

Thank you that egg in this trying time

Oh shit yeah, cinnamon and sugar on buttered toast, I remember that delicacy.

I grew up on that and still love it! Mmmmm

We had a special shaker with a cinnamon sugar mix in it, which was a ball jar with a lid with holes poked in it.

As a former poor person (tm) it was a lot of rice and potatos. A LOT.

heywoodjabme
I was 12 when I found out a jam sandwich didn’t mean jamming two pieces of bread together.

Only on holidays.

Yes indeed
VitaminJay
This mofo knows the struggle.
Omnijones777
Dude, we used to roll up bread slices into wads, moisten them and fry them up.
VitaminJay
We didn't have bread, or oil.

She like Latvian girls. She's not even sari.

I had Kool-aid but we didn't have sugar to add in so it was just flavor well water.

Omnijones777
Not really
Murfthesurrf
You grew up??? ?
TheFeralDog
I mean the govt gives you bread when your poor enough
ReLighter
Yea. After I defrosted it from the freezer when my mom bought 5 loaves because it was on sale and she had coupons.
McDerpNderp
....you can just bake bread
ReLighter
You’re gonna let a little kid bake bread?
McDerpNderp
I learned when I was a kid
J0765
My first live in girlfriend thought I was insane when she saw me freezing bread. I thought everyone did it.
redbaronshotsauce
My parents do it. Honestly the bread is fine but just doesn't taste the best and is kind of a hassle. I just buy a new loaf
jofo4242
Luxury! We ate sandwiches made of sawdust shavings between two pieces of cardboard!
MaxZimuss
You had cardboard?
deathandtaxes1
You had sandwich fillings? We had to have sleep for dinner!
davebeastly
At least you could sleep. I had to have imagination for breakfast lunch and supper and stand in a tree all night.
unfocusedmoss
You're lucky you had a tree. I had to share an abandoned gopher hole with a family of angry raccoons.
scholarmanmegee
You had a tree? I had to stand on the shoulders of my little siblings
DefinitelyNotMadeOfBees
You had siblings? I materialized alone in the middle of a field. I didn't even have parents.

KhaoticDreamer
Fuck that's smart. I've always done it so that the whole brick has 1 big cob sized trench going down the middle.
KayNay420
Also an acceptable technique.
nalyon1153
I do this and then eat the bread when done having corn.
Gizmodian
My great grandmother always did this.
WolvesofOdin
I see no problem with this. It coats the cob perfectly with out the mess.
toasterSTRUDELicing
Or else it gets the hose again. Dont know why i read your comment in that voice
EchoWhiskyBravo
It was a weird thing to put in the middle of that movie. But I’m glad they did.
smithincanton
The director talks about it in the commentary. He saw some military officer butter his corn like that and always thought it was neat.
TheBlueMuppet
I just watched this movie recently... Coneheads?

no. War Games. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086567/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

I was born in a corn state. I live in Texas now. Dont knock Elote until you've tried it, it's transcendental.

That's the first step for Mexican Street Corn. Step 2 is all kinds of crazy shit like cheese, bread crumbs, chocolate chips, you name it.

Mayo, cotija, and cayenne. I am but a simple man.
themusicguy12
I straight up can’t even go back to regular corn on the cob

I had it for the first time this year at the Florida State Fair and I still dream about it. Also because it was the Before Times.

My dad is so northern he calls all sauces “gravy”. Stuff inside a pie? Gravy. Chicken casserole? Gravy. Curry? Gravy. Bolognese? Gravy. 1/2

I don't disagree with him, a lot of Indian chefs call every sauce a gravy too!
HighlandPotatoe
Gravy... Northern boys love gravy

If its got a liquid component, that part is “gravy”. And no matter what, if there’s a DROP of liquid left on his plate or in his bowl 1.5/2

He’s strait into the kitchen for a slice of buttered white bread, and he is mopping it up before you can say “fucksakes, dad!” 2/2
