free or cheap food recipes

I'm sure there are many different ways to make a good meal with no
money, or little money. I am only familiar with two different ways:

Buy a package of ramen (around 10 cents at a local Wal-Mart), get two
free cups from ski resort cafeteria, fill one cup with hot water
(usually free or cheap) and leave the other cup empty, crush the ramen
brick up into the empty cup and add hot water stir with spoon until
noodles softened to your preference, then add flavor package, stir, and
enjoy.

Another way doesn't sound to good but really is very tasty. I call it
the hobo sandwich. You get free crackers from the cafeteria and free
sliced pickles and free mayonnaise (or ranch) and put the mayo or ranch
on the crackers then put sliced pickles on other cracker, sandwich
together and enjoy.

These are the only recipes I know of. Please let me know if you know
of any other free or cheap food recipes.

Ramen's cheap, all right, but calling it "food" is a stretch.
Practically zilch nutritional value, pure empty calories.

Go to a nice restaurant, eat and drink all you want, then do a runner.

Bonus, sometimes results in free accommodation as well.

OK, how about finding a grocery store or general store and buying
things like french bread, cheap cheese, cold cuts, pieces of fruit,
etc. Avoid the restaurants and snack bars.

Even cheaper to go around back and pull the dented cans out of the
dumster. If you're really ambitious you can dent the cans you like in
the store and wait for them to show up in the dumster in a day or two.

It ain't the recipes. Just learn how to cook. Making stuff from
scratch is really pretty cheap -- it's when you try to live off pizzas
and frozen dinners and other packaged pre-prepared foods that it gets
expensive.

And (as if) I thought I was the only person on here who admitted to
dumpster-diving.

Well, I won't put THAT technique in my next cookbook, but it's worth
considering -- a lot of food gets pitched out because it's past its
expiration date but it's still OK to eat.

In ski places, outdoors is a better 'frigerator than the walk-in cooler
indoors.

I won't do the dented can thing, though.

Everybody, please buy my soon-to-be-published book "Avalanche!" It's
recipes for skiiers, from skiiers.
