  • Olives???

    They don't keep and are fairly pricey. You don't get enough to justify adding to a meal.

    For similar hit I'd recommend capers. Last for yonks in the fridge without going manky and you only need a few for an umami hit.

    Couscous is a great option though, as are lentils. bland things with good cals that can be boosted with cunning flavours.

    Another great option is the humble chicken. As a single chap you've got about five meals right there! (Two breasts=two meals, legs and wings with chips = 1 meal, carcass into soup at least two meals). Get a big bag of that stew mix of pearl barley and stuff to bulk out humble meals too.
