Try MRE's.
I recently tried one I got at a surplus store, and it was not bad. It's like a Happy Meal for grown ups. Five bucks gets you a cracker and peanut butter or cheese spread, coffee or tea, chocolate mix or koolaid, a decent entree with a chemical heater (that's the fun part), tabasco sauce, candy, and matches and napkins. I liked it so much I ended up buying a case of 12. Each one is different from the others. I eat one on those occassions when the cupboard is bare and everything in the fridge is moldy, and I don't feel like going out to get food. I also keep one in my car incase I end up stuck on the highway during a blizzard.
I guess anyone who served in the military would be less than enthusiastic about these things, but as a lifelong civilian I think they're a great deal.
