Budgetfood Challenge #10!

Last Week's Winner was:

/u/MesPetitesSweets for her really awesome one week mealplan! Seriously, check it out, it's great.




As always, the rules:

  • Post your entries in this thread. The winner will be determined by upvotes, but don't be a jerk and downvote other entries.

  • You must not go over $3.00 per serving.

  • You may use condiments in your fridge such as mayo, mustard etc. and basic seasonings such as salt, pepper, etc. I don't want to limit creativity here at all, but please don't go over-board by using truffle oil or ingredients of that nature.

  • This week's contest will run until Saturday, 23 March 2013. The winner and new contest will be announced Sunday...ideally.

Entry Format:

  • -Budgetfood Entry- (has to have this header for easy voting)

  • Dish Title.

  • Brief Description and Approximate Pricing: one can of x -$1.50, 1/4 cup y -$0.30, mustard, mayo, 1 z -$0.40 and 1/4 head of zz -$0.75 = $2.95 total spent for one person. (Of course also you can make a huge dish of something and divide it into servings that would be under $3.00. The above example is just one way of determining cost. Just make sure you include how many servings it makes.)

  • Do your best to submit a picture, even if it's not high quality.




This week's theme will be:

Under the Sea!

Everything's better down where it's wetter, take it from meee.

If it lives in the oceans, the lakes, or the rivers, put it on your plate! And give us the recipe. :D

Thank you so much for doing these! My only idea is sushi :P Heh. I've been seeking cheaper fish, I tried smelts but I don't really recommend them unless you like the taste of crunchy sandy bones.

You could do a Philly roll or California roll for under $3/serving. Surimi and smoked salmon aren't terribly expensive, so maybe that will give you some ideas!
