You know, the thing you eat when you don't feel like making dinner, but want something that's not quite junk food?
PB & J
Cereal
Scrambled eggs
Mac & Cheese
Can of Soup
Frozen dinner/pizza
Something else (if you don't specify what it is, I'll beat you senseless)
You know, the thing you eat when you don't feel like making dinner, but want something that's not quite junk food?
This is one of those questions that's going to make us unmarried and childless folk look really pathetic.
Mine would be rice with Frank's sauce and ranch dressing. That's...um. Well. That's it. See, I have rice so I can pretend I'm being vaguely healthy instead of just having a giant bowl of starch, and then I make a tangy sauce and...
Don't judge me.
So now they are just dirt-covered English people in fur pelts with credit cards.
I was unmarried and childless when I was your age, so been there done that. And...I still do stuff like that, way more often than I should. My kids had PB & J tonight, in fact.
According to your list, everything I eat that someone else doesn't make for me is a "fall back meal." I go through my soup phases, my frozen dinner phases (Healthy Choice Steamers are AWESOME), and my mac and cheese phases.
So, I'll whisper in the dark, hoping you'll hear me.
If I happen to have leftover rice, I have some packets of instant ochazuke which is usually acceptable. I did choose cereal in the poll since that's always at hand, and has served as dinner as often as not.
Barring the rice, I often go with PB&J. Hey, peanut butter and bread together make a complete protein! Woo!
So now they are just dirt-covered English people in fur pelts with credit cards.
Cereal for me, esp. after a big previous meal (i.e. for dinner after a heavy lunch). Either that or crackers, lots of crackers - Ritz or Cheeze-It, typically.
Nothing on that list counts as a fallback meal for me. Cheese and crackers is a fallback meal. Or an Odwalla protein shake with a side of Doritos.
We probably eat frozen pizza once a week. Pretty good, well-doctored frozen pizza, but it's still a cop out.

I don't eat any of those things ever...I guess my fallback would be wasa and cheese.
Super Noodles, 5 mins from the pack to yummy goodness.
What??
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
I'll throw together an ad hoc seven (or fewer) layer dip with refried beans, cheese, chilis, guac or sour cream (if I have them), leftover meats...it's great refrigerator velcro. I'll eat it with chips or just a spoon.

What? It's a stereotype for a reason.
Something tells me we haven't seen the last of foreshadowing.
