A single stick of spaghetti pasta could feed so many.
& no one would notice a few missing from their pantry, or question a broken spaghetti left in the box.

Then with some smart scavanging, you could have "cheese bread" & some sauce.
Sauce either left behind in a can, or from a freshly taken cherry tomato off someones garden.

Imagine eating a soft steamed piece of spaghetti pasta like it was as big as a XL burrito.
