Fancy and expensive do not always mean better, especially when it comes to food. So redditor u/KaiFukugawa asked, "What foods are better when they're low quality?" Here is what people said..
. 1. "Jiffy corn muffin mix.
I think they're excellent quality, but they are the least expensive corn muffin mix. I've tried all the fancy mixes, and nope. Jiffy tastes better to me.
I've also tried many different 'from scratch' recipes, and Jiffy tastes better! I've been making Jiffy corn muffin mix for forty years! I literally could make it blindfolded." — u/Color_of_Time 2. "My sister and I always raved about my dad's awesome pancakes.
Once we were adults, he confessed they were from the Krusteaz box mix. Still the best pancakes IMO." — u/Blonde_Mexican 3.
"Breakfast burritos! I don’t need a $7+ breakfast burrito. Give me eggs, protein, maybe potatoes, some cheese, and I’m good. I don’t think I’ve ever been impressed by expensive, bougie breakfast burritos.
" — u/KaiFukugawa 4. "Breakfast sandwiches. Bacon, egg, and cheese or sausage, egg, and cheese, etc.
I moved out of NYC, and it's so hard to find a solid breakfast sandwich. Restaurants always try to make it too fancy." — u/veedubbayou 5.
"Mac 'n' cheese with hotdogs cut up in it. I can make a way better mac 'n' cheese from a béchamel and four different cheeses with a crispy topping..
.but when I'm sad or sick or upset about something, the blue box of mac with cheap hotdogs is the only thing that makes me feel better..
