I'll give ya one. Amen!

I've been pondering my own line of MREs just for inmates and prisoners. Guess if they didn't like the bird, they wouldn't like my idea, huh?

Just trying to keep their cholesterol down.

Sheriff's officials said Wednesday that the hunger strike ended after about half an hour.

Wusses!

[zeaal]

Sounds like the jail got a haul of U.S. gov't commodities.

[Texas_Conservative2]

I'd give them nothing but ramen noodles for the next month for complaining.

durbin on the phone to the aclu,
"Should we run with this?"

[I'm ALL Right!]

I'll bet the homeless shelters and the people who visit John 3:16 wouldn't be griping about a free meal. These criminals are lucky...they eat better than most of the rest of the world, and they don't have to pay for their food. Ingrates.

[Bommer]

Alternate between baloney and Spam!

[Coldwater Creek]

Spam is not real cheap, and my Husband loves it sauted in butter, and then simmered in pineapple and brown sugar. It is a real treat for him.

Amen. Poverty does wonders for one's appetite!

During my poorest time? Store brand bologna, thrift store bread and water. No cheese, no condiments.

Even now, when things are extremely tight, I stretch our milk with powdered milk (the family has no idea, so this is between you and me) and we buy ground turkey at Aldi's for 79 cents a pound... eaten in Hamburger Helper or spaghetti sauce, you can't really tell it's not beef.

[mdittmar]

LOL,Thanks alot!,gotta clean the tuna and beer off my keyboard now.

[Chode]

feed those convicts Prison Loaf till they BEG to get their turkey back...

[Coldwater Creek]

Aldi's is a great place to shop on a budget. I wish that we had one close, but I have to wait until we go to the city.

[Busywhiskers]

When my Mom and Dad got married, my Dad wanted her make some ham salad like his Mother made. So my mother tried different recipes, but could just never get it right, as far as Dad was concerned. So Mom finally went to Grandma and asked her what the secret was. It turned out that Grandma used baloney instead of ham.

[Vaquero]

You are what you eat.....Turkey.

[newfrpr04]

give them peanut butter and saltine crackers w/o h20. Did they want to be transfered to Gitmo?

[YoungCurmudgeon]

Kraft mac and cheese. No butter. Water instead of milk.

[fortunecookie]

Oops, I rarely get it and thought it was cheap. I, too, know people who love it. I'm not one, but then I never tried it that way. ;-)

Except for the saute in butter, I make ham that same way, I sometimes add gingerale to the mix. Yum. I guess maybe Spam knock-offs for the inmates then?
