Ghetto tamale or ghetto tamales are one of the best comfort foods in a prison or a penitentiary. They are a mixture of crushed ramen noodles and crushed chips of any kind soaked in boiling water. It is what most like to eat alone in their cells hidden from their cellys after having an unpleasant jail meal or not enough food. If seen making it by other people around the tank or your celly they are bound to ask you for a piece.

Ingredients:

-1 bag of top ramen plain, no seasoning needed.

-1 bag of chips of your choice offered in a commissary.
-Empty bag of chips or noodles
-Boiling water
-Spork

Instructions:
Get the bagged ramen closed and start crushing the noodles till they are small crumbs or little pieces then open it. Take out the seasoning and save it since that is used to salt the tasteless food offered there, your celly will appreciate that. Get the bags of hips, open it and start crushing them till fine crumbs. Empty the bag of crushed ramen crumbs into the bag of crushed chips then mix it well. Add boiling to hot water, make sure you don’t fill it up with lots of water if not it won’t work just enough water to solidify the contents. Close the bag of chips rolling it into a bundle then roll it inside your blanket for best results. Let it sit there for 20-30 minutes, and enjoy.
