Chickpea tuna salad. Drain a can of chickpeas, then mix with a can of tuna (drained, if it’s packed in water), some olive oil, red wine vinegar, and salt. I add diced raw onion if I’m not too tired.

Microwaved pepperoni chips.

Put pepperoni on a plate with some paper towels, microwave for one minute. The apartment will smell either heavenly or sickening for the next hour, depending on how much you like pepperoni.

Works with any sliced sausage really

Omelet composed of >60% frozen vegetables and seasoned with soy sauce.

It doesn’t hold itself together at all and it looks disgusting.

I put ketchup on bread and microwave it

I ate frozen fish sticks when I was a kid. Just took em out of the freezer and gnawed on them.

Snack pasta (farfalle are the best). No cooking, just open the package and munch the raw pasta. I like how crispy it is.

Pan-fried canned chick peas with black pepper, butter, oregano, basil, and sometimes paprika, chili powder, and hot sauce if I want some kick.

I cook it when I’m in a rush or tired, it’s done in 10-15 minutes, fills me up, and is packed with good protein.

But I would never feed it to anybody else, it’s lazy bro/fitness food lol.

Guacamole with cottage cheese. The Polish side of my family loves it, but I wouldn’t dare add it to my guac when making it for the Mexican half of my family.

idk how weird this is in terms of everything else in this thread, but peanut butter and pickles on toast is great

I sometimes open a can of vegetables and pour them in my mouth

Scoop of peanut butter

Instant mashed potatoes with American cheese melted in, and a variety of seasonings, butter, toppings etc. It’s a great, cheap way to make a bowl out of random leftovers, protein or whatever. But I wouldn’t dare serve it to someone.

‘quickadilla’ I’ll slap a tortilla on a cold pan, turn on the heat and build it right in the pan while it heats up with shredded cheese and left over meat. Takes 5 minutes and it’s at least as good as Taco Bell, and actually warm and melted.

More of a meal I’d actually be willing to share, but not brag about because it’s sort of a bastardization of cultures. But I’ll often make a curry using Japanese curry blocks, and season chicken in a vaguely Indian style, then put it over rice. Really simple and delicious. I’m kind of proud of it but I wouldn’t even know how to explain it to someone, much less actually serve it.

An entire loaf of French bread from the super market and a sobe (at least back when sobe existed)

Spicy lettuce hotdogs! Cook them meat sticks up however you want, wrap in lettuce, place in bun. Top with ketchup and habanero Tabasco.
