I have two ultra rich friends, one is single and the other is married but without children. Their refrigerators are practically empty, at least when I’ve been there and had occasion to open the refrigerator. Usually some leftover containers from restaurants, bottled water, and maybe a wine bottle. There has never been butter, milk, eggs, condiments, etc. Likewise, when I have been to some of their ultra rich friends’ places, it’s a similar situation, only there are mixers and other alcohol, presumably because we were there for a party of some sort.
I would much prefer to eat from a “poor” person’s refrigerator. The contents are probably closely monitored for expiration dates, and, using the stuff in their refrigerators, they could probably make tasty meals.

My grandparents were poor. They were farmers. They had milk, butter and eggs in their refrigerator, beef, chicken and pork from my uncle’s farm in their freezer. Butter was store bought, but milk and eggs fresh from their farm and, after they gave up their cow, from my uncle’s adjacent farm. They also always had vanilla ice cream (store bought). In the summer/autumn, produce was picked fresh. We used to pick wild strawberries and raspberries in June/July, and wild blueberries and Saskatoon berries in August/early September. My grandmother canned, so in winter/spring, everything but root vegetables were from jars. I can still taste her canned peaches, it’s a warm childhood memory.
They had coffee, tea, sugar, oatmeal, flour, vanilla, salt and pepper, and that was about all. Bread/buns were always home baked, and my grandmother always had a cake for afternoon tea-vanilla with a unique caramel type icing, made from brown sugar, vanilla and butter.
They ate simply but well. Bringing a jackfish (Northern Pike) or walleye from the nearby river was a real treat for them. They were from Cape Breton Island, and missed eating fresh fish.

The point these threads get tiresome is when everyone posting is joining in on the dunking (on the poor). When people are admitting they were poor or knew poor people and the commentary is simply observational and/or conversational I don't mind at all. I speak as someone who grew up lower middle-middle class and who is weirdly fascinated with fridge contents (more telling, these days, than any medicine cabinet).
Snobbery and knowledge/fascination are not the same thing. Acknowledging what X Food says about socioeconomic status is not the same thing as judging someone for said status (the latter of which is shitty, and generally a huge tell for your Internet Rich - i.e. not rich - types).

Now I am loath to throw food away and I was sad that my SIL threw out the ham bone from Easter dinner (which I bought and prepared!) because I could have made a beautiful lentil soup from it. I did save a bunch of the meat, though, (“what are you saving THAT for?”) and will make a quiche with it tomorrow night. Soups, quiches and fried rice are a good way to use up vegetables and small bits of meat.

I am always baffled by blanket statements like this.
The contents of your refrigerator (and the fullness of it) depend on what stage of life you're at, something lost on many DLers who went from Child directly to Single Man and sort of stopped there.
I grew up well off. When I was a kid, we had lots of food in the house, even more when my brother and I were teenagers.
When I was young and single I hardly had anything in the refrigerator because I was rarely home to eat. Mostly leftover takeout that I wound up throwing away after a few days.
Now that I'm married, there's more food again, even before the pandemic.
I suspect this cuts across all income levels so please don't keep your refrigerators empty in an attempt to pass yourselves off as rich.

[quote]The rich people have empty refrigerators and the people who grew up poor always have food in their fridge.
r98, it's actually a commentary about mindset, not actual quantities of food (though it's probably true for quantities so some extent).
It plays on several notions:
- Having a refrigerator vs. a fridge
- Always having food vs. buying food as needed. There is a tendency for poorer people to have food supply concerns - you hear that poorer people often go without food, so stock up when they can.
- It also plays on the idea that wealthier people don't stock up because they don't eat every meal at home. it's not filled with leftovers from prior meals. Fresh foods are obtained and prepared vs. premade foods.
Whether you agree with the commentary, it packs a lot of oomph into a single sentence. It's a dense sentence in terms of connotative meaning while simple in denotation.

Huh, I had no idea why I always shook the milk when I grabbed it, but it was probably because we had powdered milk when I was really young. Mom later said she mixed it with a little real milk (one of those school-sized half pints, I think) and it helped the flavor a lot.
The only time I really remember drinking powdered milk was at a babysitter's, she would mix it with lukewarm tap water. It was gross.

No.
When you have small children you generally do eat every meal at home. Or at least the kids do. Regardless of income level.
Anyone who is somewhat into cooking, regardless of income level, is going to favor fresh fruits and vegetables. Though MANY poor people do live in so-called "food deserts" where there aren't many places to buy fresh foods or anything remotely healthy or organic.
But unless you're living someplace like Manhattan or across the road from a supermarket, you're not likely buying everything the same day you're preparing it.
The type of foods in the house--fresh/organic vs frozen/heavy on chemicals--is likely the biggest difference, but again, that's very poor people living in food deserts, not every poor person and will likely vary tremendously based on ethnicity and region.
Nothing to do with quantity.

I remember one year during the 1970s when the economy was terrible and we had to eat beans several nights a week. My mother would make a big pot of beans with ham and sometimes collard greens. She would always make cornbread in a cast iron skillet to go with it. During the summer, people would give us tomatoes from their gardens and we would have sliced tomatoes with the beans and cornbread. People also gave us lots of cantaloupe from the garden, which Mom would serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert.

R110, that sounds awesome. I'd eat that even if money were not an issue.

To add on to the Kool-Aid ... Other drinks that aren't really fruit juice (not milk or sodas, either). Dave Chappelle did a bit about "grape drink."

My boyfriend uses Country Crock "butter" and he stores his leftovers in the Country Crock containers. I love him dearly but his family is something else so I know where he gets it from.

[quote] R26 Making macaroni & cheese with the Kraft blue box is cheaper than making it with Velveeta.
As a Canadian, I don't view Kraft Dinner (I mean Kraft Macaroni & Cheese) as particularly low class. Maybe I should, it's extraordinarily popular here.

I did a couple of silly, "just in case " things at the beginning of the Pandemic. I haven't had them in probably 30 yrs. so I bought a couple boxes of Kraft Mac & Cheese to have on hand in the panty. Well, about 4 months ago, I decided to prepare it. It was horrible. Just awful. Inedible. I had to throw it out. In future I will keep a box of macaroni on hand, I will have some cream of mushroom soup and a block of cheddar cheese and use those, and that's it. As for Kraft, someone needs to look into what they call "cheese." I bought a couple bags of shredded cheese and again terrible. And they wouldn't even melt. WTF. Kraft isn't what it used to be.

Are you American, R115? I ask because some of the cheese and other dairy they sell in the US isn't allowed in other countries (too much mucus, too many hormones, antibiotics etc).

This King Arthur (they make flour) "Better Cheddar Cheese Powder" might be something good to try. $10.95 for an 8-oz. can.
Sad that Kraft apparently changed the formula. I did like that blue box mac and cheese. My taste buds tell me that Velveeta has changed as well.

R115 Kraft Mac is a comfort food for my ex-poor ass, I admit. My sweet husband picked up Kraft one time and got some of the children’s variety (cute shapes). We made it and it was inedible, threw it out. Next time at store I compared the ingredients of those boxes to the basic Kraft, and turns out the kids variety has a completely different formulation (cheaper to make? Healthier?) I don’t know why it’s different, but it’s awful. I can still enjoy the regular Kraft tho.

Kraft cheese product used to be better before they switched to the lower quality petroleum byproducts resulting from fracking rather than the higher quality Saudi Arabian sweet crude. Sure, Kraft cheese products are still shelf stable and have richer color due to modern dyes, but the flavor just isn't the same.

R104 is a goddamn humanitarian. Shaking the milk so everyone gets to partake in the cream that has risen to the top? My siblings and I (in the 80s and 90s so this isn't TOO ancient a practice, I don't think) used to come close to physically fighting over who got to crack the bottle and snaggle all the cream for themselves lol.
R114 Kraft Dinner (standard KD, not any of the offshoots) is different in Canada too. Both parts of it. The noodles are disgusting (no matter how briefly you boil them, they still turn to mush, which they never used to do) and the bright orange cheese powder, which used to be very tasty (trashy yes, but delicious) now tastes of basically nothing. Their Singles slices have also gone to shit. Sticky, mushy, tasteless crap. Who knew old-school junk food *wasn't* as bad as it could get?
