I think steak is always a safe bet.......Even if not cooked to perfection, a steak is still usually salvagable as long as you didn't buy some $2 trash.
A giant salad is always good, but not very filling.....I do love my raw veggies tho.
If it's just a need to eat but I don't want to cook I keep a cabinet stocked with sardines, vienna sausages, and crackers.......I like Ritz Chips, but saltines are just as good in a pinch.
When faced with this conundrum, where do you turn.
