basic fare

No frills food

Basic fare refers to simple, ordinary food or provisions—meals without elaboration or luxury: The menu offered basic fare: burgers, sandwiches, and soup.

More broadly, fare means what's offered or available, so basic fare can describe any standard, unembellished offerings: The airline's basic fare includes a seat but no amenities.
