I think everyone here has been there especially when they were really young and naive when it came to blowing money on gambling where they dipped into their food budget.Whether it be at home or on a Vegas trip or a trip to a race track,when you ran out of $$$the last day,you got pretty creative.Hell,some of the best things I ever ate in my life were things I ate in race track parking lots where I concocted recipes out of canned and boxed food and cooked them up on a hibachi pot.Someone should put out a recipe book called,The broke gamblers desperation dinner recipe book or something to that affect.I'll bet everyone has a recipe that created dishes out of thin air that tasted good when they went broke gambling.They could do a half hour weekly show on the food channel on this subject.hehe!
In the Vegas of old you could go the last day of your trip and eat gobs of free or almost free shrimp cocktails you would get with coupons.
The pits would be having to eat something like pork&beans or plain white rice or some bulk filler food every day for a long period of time.
If anyone is familiar with the Hmong race of people,they gather by the hundreds along shores of some really poluted inner city lakes like in Minneapolis and they don't catch and release anything they catch fishing.If they catch minnows they eat them.These are the same people I used to see parked at the race tracks leaving their kids in the car in 95 degrees where the track PA announcer would have to locate the parents.Hell,the kids seemed happy being in the car but it was the do gooders that thought they were being abused.
