If you can spring for it buy some high protein beans or lentils or some other legume and mix them, almost every society on the planet no matter the geography invented rice and beans because it's so damn easy to store for long periods of time and will get you the protein and calories you need to survive.

Is it fun? No. But it will get you fed and it's an excellent base to throw in other things to spice it up. Get a little extra money and can afford a bit of meat and veggies? Sauteed them up and you get a full blown meal with a side dish and a porkchop/fish filet/chicken breast with your rice.

Wait, rice and beans isn't fun? It requires some extra seasonings but Carrib style rice and peas are my jam. Though it does have a Lotta aromatics.

Well... personally I think rice and beans can be delicious but it's not most people's idea of comfort food I suppose. At least where I'm from.

Half way into it I was like.. "yeah yeah yeah that's our staple food! It's very ni.."

"Is it fun? No." Had me question everything in life thus far. 🤣

No I genuinely enjoy rice and beans, but I feel like people I know have really high expectations for food being good.
