I grabbed a hot pocket out of the vending machine. There was a line to the microwave, and I had to get some reading in before my next class, so I walked out without heating it. It was too frozen to eat, so I put it in my pocket to thaw while I read. Over the next 30 minutes, bit by bit, as pieces of it became soft enough for me to bite off, I ate a frozen hot pocket. And that was my meal.

Let's hear your sad meal/meals.


(For clarity: I've eaten chicken heads, chicken feet, dog, and balut. Those were gross and exotic, but they were not sad. Sad is what we need.)

 

[joelseph]

That's fucking nasty.

[Razorskin]

East Side Mario's lasagna

 

[Uncle Rupee]

I reheated a bowl of leftover stuffing and some gravy in the microwave and ate that for lunch last week.

lol, gets me every time.

The struggle is real



Mine is probably a bowl of rice with some mustard on it.

 

[TheMan]

Popcorn and water...I was in college, broke, and the cafeteria had already closed for the evening.

 

[RM8]

The night my 15 years old dog died I had some oatmeal for dinner. It wasn't bad, but I had to force myself to eat something while I couldn't stop bawling. It was pretty terrible

You poor soul.

Popcorn cereal?

 

[richiek]

And that's the hardest part. Today everything is different; there's no action... have to wait around like everyone else. Can't even get decent food - right after I got here, I ordered some spaghetti with marinara sauce, and I got egg noodles and ketchup. I'm an average nobody... get to live the rest of my life like a schnook.

In before people start stealing their answers from the Reddit thread from last week.

$.99 banquet microwaveable meal

 

[daveo42]

Saltine Crackers with Frank's Red Hot on them. Really tasty, but not much of a meal.

 

[ccbfan]

A hot dog bun and water. (Stupid hebrew national and their 7 hot dogs per package.)

 

[sqwarlock]

Spaghetto: Ramen noodles with ketchup

Might be Saturday night when I was editing a short film all day, and suddenly it was 10 pm and didn't have dinner. Practically no food in the apartment, no milk, so I ate handfuls of Honey Nut Cheerios and a couple slices of pepper jack cheese. And a glass of wine. But I don't have wine glasses, so it was in a tin cup.

 

[James Woods]

Absolutely disgusting.

 

[Darklord]

That is sad. It needs at least three times the cheese and twice as much peperoni.

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

What's that one website? "Saddest desk meal" or some shit like that? I would have to say whatever I ate after I found out my best friend had died.

 

[GraveHorizon]

At a babysitter's house with a bunch of other kids, we were playing in the backyard, and a few of the kids were on swimsuits with some water about. Someone poured water down the back of the sitter's daughter's swimsuit. I was like 10 feet away when it happened, but I was blamed for it. Despite my insistence that I couldn't have done it and it wasn't me, I became the scapegoat and was forced to sit in a dark room. When dinner time came, they ordered pizza for everyone. I was given a sloppily constructed peanut butter sandwich. It was just bad peanut butter slapped on some stale bread, no jelly at all. Just peanut butter bread in a lonely dark room.

Why would anyone do that to a child? I'm still sad about it.

 

[hipbabboom]

There was this nasty ass burger place back in the 90's in South Los Angeles across from a coin-op laundry we went to every weekend we tried having lunch at once.... the burger out of the wrapper was soggy because of the wilted lettuce and runny slice of tomato. It was disgusting

Anything made with De Bois Gluten-free pasta is also disgusting.

It was a 79 cent chicken fried steak microwave Banquet meal that came with a brownie. I was very depressed at the time, and after finishing the entree, all the time anticipating the brownie, it fell on the carpet. And I cried.

 

[H.Protagonist]

Had no money, no food at home that was mine, so I dumpster dived behind a Bess Eaton Donuts and grabbed one of their discarded bags of old bagels. After cutting off burnt and or questionably moldy bits, dinner was served.

 

[Stumpokapow]

I went to a Hard Rock Cafe once.

 

[BlackJace]

Imitation crab meat with rice.

 

[Keyser Soze]

$30 for that!?

The Banquet chicken friend steak isn't that bad. That brownie tho...

 

[FStop7]

The $30 Italian meal never fails to make laugh.

It probably would look OK if it was spruced up and served on a plate. But as it is it kills me every time.

 

[RealDeadOne]

Seconding ramen and ketchup. Perfect for when you're a depressed shut-in and don't want to go to the grocery store this week.

 

[Jarate]

 

[RottenTanuki]

In college, I had to stay one day after the place shut down for winter break. I was pretty much alone on the entire dorm floor, all dining halls closed, most stores closed and the gas stoves were shut. I ate cup ramen with warm tap water. That was pretty sad. On top of that, the only alcohol left was my room mate's Zima.

 

[Clydefrog]

is this a trick question? having food is considered a privilege in some parts of the world.

The night your what?

everyone can suck my dick because I'm eating Italian FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOd

 

[Banjotanooki]

I've seen this pic posted countless times, what's the story here?

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

There are times when I eat a piece of bread and drink a glass of water for dinner.

 

[charlequin]

I went to a Hard Rock Cafe once.

I let myself get talked into going to Olive Garden once and it was probably a bottom-20 overall life choice.

 

[kris.]

this is potentially the best picture i've ever seen

 

[Acid08]

Cold can of green beans and some bread. Ended up throwing it up later for some reason.

Damn, basically eating trash.

The only reason i would ever go to olive Garden would be for their breadsticks

I can't hate on em for the breadsticks

[John Kowalski]

that's 30 for the utensils alone, fuck

 

[Dr.Acula]

That looks pretty good!
