Neko Manma
When I was a poor student, I often ate neko manma (ねこまんま).
Neko (ねこ) means "cat," and manma (まんま) is a baby word that means "meal."
Hence, the literal meaning of neko manma is "cat's meal," but it actually refers to a frugal human's meal that looks like food for cats and dogs.
Neko manma can be classified into two types: rice mixed with bonito flakes and soy sauce, and rice mixed with a miso soup.
I especially like the former neko manma, which contains bonito flakes and soy sauce.
Incidentally, since cats have a low ability to digest carbohydrates, you should avoid giving cats neko manma.

ねこまんま
苦学生時代、私は「ねこまんま」をよく食べました。
「ねこ」は "cat" を意味し、「まんま」は幼児語で "meal" を意味します。
したがって、「ねこまんま」の文字どおりの意味は "cat meal" となりますが、実際には、イヌやネコに与える簡単な餌（残飯）のように見える人間の食事を指します。
ねこまんまは大きく、米に鰹節と醤油をかけるものと、米に味噌汁などの汁物をかけるものの、2種類があります。
私は特に、鰹節と醤油をかけるタイプのねこまんまが好きです。
ちなみに、ネコは炭水化物の消化能力が低いので、上述のねこまんまをネコに与えるのは避けたほうがよいです。

Incidentally, since cats have a low ability to cannot digest carbohydrates well, you should avoid giving cats 'neko manma'.
"have a low ability to" sounds like a direct translation of Japanese. Reads strange in English.
Sounds like a tasty meal for people on a budget. ^^

Yes, it's very cheap but the taste is decent. :)
