  All you have to do is take your current meal, no matter how bland or boring, and describe it how it would appear on a restaurant menu.

  I had half a pack of ravioli bought as 2 for £2.50 so I got a meal for 62.5p. The oil, parmesan and herbs I added probably cost more than that. At that price it sells itself. It wasn't bad either.
