I did this for almost a year
The rules were you had to pick two cans, and that was your meal. Items from the fridge (usually only beer, butter and milk in there) and cupboard (bread, pasta) allowed.

As it went on we challenged ourselves and bought tins of some truly hideous stuff, you know the ones, a whole fry up, fifth rate beef curry, I think even tinned lasagne at one point!

It all had to end when someone sabotaged us with tins of dog food. I got halfway through a can of it on toast (tbh it was, if a little bland, better quality than some of the shite we were eating) before I noticed. Didn't really bother me that much but my flatmate went a bit mad over it, I had to finish the remainder of the lucky dip stock myself.

As a side note I am now reasonably (certainly above average) competent at identifying the contents of unlabelled cans of food.
