what's your verdict on it? imo this one looks the most appetizing compared to the other options.

Personally I liked it because I liked sausage, but to think that we have become this poor...

I bought the sausage one two days ago. I saw the pictures and fully expecting it to be bratwurst sized sausages on like 3 or 4 cups of rice but was sorely disappointed. It not even that good of a value but the sausage was very oily and tasty

368円 for this is still unacceptable. You could buy sausages and white rice at the supa for much cheaper and it's easy to prepare. Absolutely pointless product.

Sausage and rice, no vegetables. Not a healthy balance in nutrition

Poverty meals went from TikTok trend to convenience store shelf. Sausage on flat-packed rice is basically the struggle meal every student already makes at home, now with a microwave timer printed on the lid. Did it actually fill you up?

as a UK citizen, I think this looks great for the price. You get some carbs and protein.

crazy that their regular bentos are up to 700 each now but not long ago they cost about the same as these 'poverty meals'. they casually doubled their prices in a short period.. some sandwiches are 400+ like..

Not too bad, just clearly unbalanced diet

むしろ今まで何種類もおかずが入ってる弁当を食べていたのがムダだったんじゃないかと思います。 栄養面で考えたらソーセージ弁当と唐揚げ弁当では大して変わらないだろうし

I’ve already bought it twice, at least this one is yummy, if a bit simple

If the government were distributing this then yeah, I would say we’re cooked. Since is just another option people have the choice to buy, that’s a different story. For that price, a poor person would rather buy rice and a bag of sausage and cook it at home.

I will give you one poverty tip: Pringles in hot miso soup

...I can't lie, I'd crush that. Feel like I could make it cheaper at home though.

These aren’t sausages technically speaking. These are hot dogs
