Food is fuel, and that's a fact – however, it's not only a source of nourishment. It keeps us together by gathering our families on holidays and Friday night dinners, and it instantly improves our moods when we're in need of a pick-me-up.

Do you remember how popular it was to make banana bread during the lockdowns? Even if you're not a fan of preparing the food, it's still a great way of bonding with your loved ones, plus you get to eat some delicious meals afterwards. 

While some folks are more into gourmet foods, others enjoy more affordable cuisine. Well, this online user took it to one of Reddit's communities and asked fellow members to describe the "poor people's food" they'll always eat regardless of how big their wallets might get. The post has managed to receive over 45K upvotes in just a day and was showered with interesting answers.

    Maruchan ramen noodle soup instant lunch in roast chicken and shrimp flavors, a popular poor people food choice. Maruchan Ramen. I love Maurchan ramen so much and ramen in general. I could be a millionaire but i would still have a pantry stocked with ramen. I have bad insomnia and when i was younger and would wake up at night, my dad would make me chicken or beef Maruchan ramen. I still remember sitting in our dark dining room while my dad got the ramen from the top shelf. He would drain the water a little and put in the seasoning so it wasn’t ever FULLY cooked. I rarely see my dad anymore so when i have a bad day, i eat ramen. the same way he made it. I was 4 then and that’s the only way i’ll make it now.
