The basic formula for peasant meals is grain + legume + flavor/micronutrients. Beans and rice plus whatever produce tastes good sautéed in butter or olive oil and chucked on top of a serving and voilà.

Fun fact: in Britain they couldn't grow lentils or chickpeas so the peasant meal was split pea porridge, often with oat bread broken up into it to thicken it. It is largely not eaten anymore.
To let the poverty PTS speak, rice is much better without seasoning than oats or wheat, but corn is king if you understand pelagra
How are you storing yours?
The thought of going back to that life is giving me poverty trauma flashbacks.
Pasta is good too. Learning to make a couple of cheap sauces is easy. Beans work well here.
They're still good food, just not amazing.
The reason that the Irish ate Lumpers was that they could feed a large family on a small plot of land. It grew prolifically in poor soil.
But then along comes a soil fungus, wiped out the monoculture, and everyone died.
Makes good tortilla filler.
