Yeah, it's filling and I would like to see you come up with better for £0.06 a meal.
Poverty food exists for a reason.
I dare say potatoes are cheaper than bread.
And you can turn them into a more filling, more nutricious and better-tasting meal with nothing but salt and vegetable oil.
Yeah but that would take effort.
With energy prices in the UK being what they are, it's only raw potatoes that are cheaper than bread. At least toast toasts quickly, so isn't that energy-intensive compared with boiling a pan of water.
And solanine isn't a way you wanna die.
You have to cook the potatoes or they're poisonous, and buying and running a hob or an oven is comparatively pretty expensive in the UK. I get your point though, if you're a bit wealthier, of course you'd be looking at potatoes or other foods - and it can get really ingredient cheap if you buy a sack of potatoes and mostly just eat potatoes :)
As a Brit, you'll boil water for tea all day anyway.
Just put the potatoes in the kettle to save energy.
Good call. For a treat, you can then take your part-cooked potato to your local library, then wedge the potato behind a radiator for half an hour to crisp up the edges a little :)
That's why toast with crisps is the more popular food.
I have not seen bread this cheap anywhere.
Aldi, to be fair food was a bit cheaper when I was living on £600 a month, around 2017. Like £0.34 for about 20 slices. I think it is more like £0.45 now for the cheapest loaf of bread.
I'm not sure ze Germans would let me call that bread. Most loaves of bread I see (admittedly not at Aldi) start around 1.20€ for the smaller ones which I would have difficulty cutting into 20 slices. But maybe white bread with enough air in it is indeed that cheap.
Edit: I would assume that it won't be very satisfying.
I think UK pricing is pretty competitive, so we get pretty cheap bread compared to many others.
