Make a dinner using only corner-shop ingredients

[Hangingover]

I'm in the process of moving my stuff out of a flat above a tiny shop. I've not been here for a really long time and house mate has also moved out so there's virtually no cooking stuff except oil and salt. While the shop downstairs has some fancy beans and spices and plants milks etc. etc. there's no fresh veg beyond potatoes and onions and tomatoes and no raw chilled ingredients. I normally cook from scratch every day at home but I'm really, really enjoying a few days of corner-shop dinners

Tonight was tinned spaghetti on toast with tonnes of Jamaican hot sauce, and tinned potatos (they are so bloody nice!) with loads of butter and salt on them and a Beck's Blue. Oreos for and decaf for pudding

What would be your corner-shop dinner? Tomorrow I've got my eye on the supernoodles....

I love minted marrowfat peas with tinned potatoes and frozen fish.

Are they good on international foods?

Spiced fava beans with rice is lovely

Pot noodle poured over smash (( don't knock it till you try it ))

Tinned hamburgers on supernoodles.

Also hotdogs on supernoodles.n

A pack of those meatball things they always sell stirred into cheesy beans on toast.

Takes me right back to the 90s. 😋

Instant noodles cooked as per packet instructions. Crack an egg in and poach it in the pan while the noodles cook, add a tbsp or two of canned sweetcorn and serve with soy sauce.

You can usually make a decent pasta sauce out of cornershop ingredients: tomatoes, olives, tuna.

Those packets of microwave rice make excellent fried rice with an egg, sweetcorn, frozen peas. Bonus points: add spam and a crispy fried egg on top.

Fishcakes using tinned potatos and a tin of tuna with a pouch of microwave rice

This is disgustingly gross and I'm ashamed for even typing it, but super noodles with grated mozzarella mixed through at the end, dumped on a slice of toast and topped with hot sauce. I had that as a drunk meal once and it was incredible

Fried spam with cheese and potato pie and tinned tomatoes (or beans).

I used to do something very similar at uni. Supernoodles, white bread, thick spread, salt and cheese.

Chilli made with kidney beans, baked beans and an onion. If I could be arsed. Tinned potatoes with grated cheese if not. I LOVE a tinned potato

I like super noodles with a tin of Tuna mixed in or just several packets of different crisps

Probably just crisps!
Or i’d cheat and order a takeaway

I'd go for curry pot noodle

A Goodfellas cheesy pizza

I LOVE a tinned potato

They're so good aren't they. I mean, they're ludicrously expensive given you can buy a whole kilo of potatos for the same cost but they're so so yummy.

Do not microwave them though, learned that the hard way.

Tuna pasta bake, I prefer a tomato based sauce to a white one, so even more store cupboard!

Falafels are pretty pretty cupboard based too.

Bombay potatoes with rice if they sell it
Jacket potatoes with cheesy beans

Does the corner shop sell eggs? if so, frittata made with tinned potatoes and tinned sweetcorn. Delicious

For pud, peach and pineapple crumble with tinned peaches and pineapple, served with tinned custard.

Pasta with a can of tuna, butter, melted cheese with a can a sweetcorn thrown in !

They probably sell frozen mixed veg if you want some vitamins

They probably sell frozen mixed veg if you want some vitamins

They don't sadly, unless waffles court as a vegetable

Oh tinned peaches, of forgotten about those!!

Super noodle sandwiches with a thick layer of butter

Fish fingers (if they have them) with cheesy beans.
