He said the quiet part out loud.

Never knew I was still fucking poor. I like tomato bisque.

[Tom-K]

Well he was just telling the truth. I can't remember the last time I had Campbell Soup--maybe as a kid, but I kind of remember my mom making her own tomato soup. I really don't know. They do have a good selection of it on the shelf in the grocery market so somebody's buying it.

EDIT: Ok, well I try the tomato bisque. I like soup--my wife almost never cooks it.

[Mik]

A lot of people. Yeah, it should not be in frequent rotation, but a few times a year I'll have it with a sandwich. I did eat it a lot more when I was poor. It's like ramen in that respect.

I think this guy's got a viable suit. he'll get a hefty settlement.

[Mik]

@Tom-K Gotta make it with milk, even maybe a splash of cream. Actually, their chicken noodle with maybe a teaspoon of cream is pretty tasty. I love soup too.

[Tom-K]

Ok thanks Mik. All that Campbell stuff is a giant salt lick so it's probably tasty. One just has to be judicious in how much one eats regularly. My go to "poor" food was pasta and jarred sauce.

[jon-nyc]

It is so damn salty.

[Mik]

Yeah, just watch how much you eat.

[Axtremus]

They have unsalted varieties:

And they have healthier lower sodium versions as well.

I thought we didn't buy stuff from people that hate us. Isn't that that bloke who sells razor blades' catchphrase?

I try not to eat tinned stuff because of all the salt but there's nothing wrong with it other than that, particularly in a pinch, financial or otherwise.
