Home-made Potato Chip Sandwich

Here's another vegan poverty favorite. Potato chip sandwiches helped get me through some really hard times. This is a really good meal for a starving herbivore. Potato chip sandwiches actually taste better than they look. This sandwich had a variety of textures and flavors. Even people with money will love this tasty meal, especially kids.

To make my sandwich I included the following ingredients. I was generous with the mustard and chips since I now live above the poverty level.

I know what it's like to go without meals. Even before going vegetarian I had months and even years of wondering if I would be able to eat each day. Going vegetarian made that even more difficult because of the limitations I seemingly put on myself. To make it worse, vegetarians and vegans can't really ask for handouts. Donated food is very rarely vegetarian, vegan, healthy, and properly labeled with ingredients lists. People who get free food usually have only one choice; eat it or don't eat it.

I went to Walmart and spent $7.60 on the ingredients to make my potato chip sandwich. If my estimation is correct I should get about 6 sandwiches from this, more if I slice the bread more thinly. That's $1.27 per sandwich. I can eat 6 meals for the price of one 6 inch Subway combo meal. And I'll have left-over mustard. Not too bad.

I will not say this is a healthy way to eat, but vegans sometimes find themselves in a situation where this is the best choice. I've have many potato chips sandwiches at company cookouts and family reunions. With poverty food this good, I sometimes eat them just because I learned to like them.
