no, you're ghetto fabulous!
in college i lived in a house with a variety of folks, and we amused ourselves with our discovery of ethnic/class food preferences...
I rememeber some of the preferred drinks..
All of us remembered kool-aid, but the black kids remembered inordinate amounts of fruit flavored sodas, (ie Grape Shasta)wheras the white kids remembered the "Super Choice" off brand sodas. The mexican guys remembered the bottled pops direct from mexico that apparently were 99% sugar.
we had a ghetto level of meal
Grape Shasta or Sams Choice with hot dogs and chips: pretty ghetto, but standard college fare
Mac n Cheese and instant tea: ghetto, waiting on payday
Ramen noodles and ice water: d@mn, get a job!
some of it was pretty funny, like a black guy who had never eaten chinese food until college, a white guy who thought tamales were somehow grown and placed into little cans, trying to explain what a pork rind is..etc. Your can learn a lot when you're young and broke...hehe.
With respect to the vodka, though I can afford upscale brands now, I buy the cheap stuff for Bloody Marys and the like, since I can't tell the difference between Aristocrat ($9 per 1.75 liters) and Stolichnaya at thrice the price. On the other hand, the gin I buy for my martinis doesn't come cheap.
Your comments about "college ghetto food" brings back memories. When money was a bit tight, for me, being a Southern boy, rice ("swamp seed") was often the base for a cheap meal. Cook it with water and a couple of bouillon cubes and an onion, then add a can of tomatoes, and/or black beans, and/or tuna, and/or a can of condensed cream-of-whatever soup, and/or some cheese -- the permutations were endless. And I survived to tell the tale.
