Hell yea, red hot beef is the best. Not going to lie - when those things are 3/$1.00 they are mighty tempting. They make great late night snacks.

I use to eat these for breakfast/lunch/dinner. :/ We had good food in the house too.

Once I ate a melon with broccoli.
It was devastating.

[Ampersands]

Forgot to add the cream.

One of my saddest meals was a glass of almond milk. I tried drinking it straight but it made me gag. I then added Cheerios to it which didn't help at all.

New Years Eve this year. My gf and I were in Popayan, Colombia. Our first New Years together.

Turns out Colombians don't really celebrate New Years publicly, its more of a family holiday. Fair enough we thought we would go out to a bar, play some pool and get a meal. Wrong!

2 Restaurants were open in total. An italian place run by a European. The queue to get in for a meal was about 2 hours. Very small place and everyone knew that it would be the only place open before us. We also had just eaten there the night before too....

The other restaurant. An imitation KFC that was much much worse. Though they served beer (the one plus).

We get there at 9:55 pm, 5 mins before closing. We didn't even know it was open and thought we would have to join the 2 hour queue but we stumbled onto it after roaming the empty streets for an hour.

Can we have spicy chicken please? No
Can we have fried chicken? No
Grilled? No
Anything? Yes a burger.

We then proceeded to have the worst burger of our lives. It felt like it had been cooked about 3 hours before hand, was cold, and hard. Worse then anything I've ever had and that mcdonalds could ever put out. At least we had our beer though...

As we were finishing our AMAZING meal a small girl came running past us and then proceeded to throw up on our feet. No one helped her of course.

We then went back to the room and passed out like 30 mins later. Missed our first new years together and had the saddest & worst meal of either of our lives. Least we had that...!

Oh boy

Popayan is the last place you want to be in new year, it's basically the vatican, I am not kidding. Your girlfriend should had known better

Next time go to Cartagena, or even Bogota, or anywhere really, party doesn't stop until dawn.

 

[Kaako]

That ice sandwich cracked me the fuck up. Good show homie, good show.

 

[Junior Mint]

fuckin ice sandwich hahahaha

 

[johnsmith]

Take some ramen, add some green onions and hard boiled eggs. Baby, you got a nice meal going.

 

[Kallor]

There were times when I was a kid when a tortilla with some butter and a bag of popcorn was a good meal. lol

 

[caesar]

Every meal I eat is sad nahmean:

eatin ginseng

 

[AceOcelot]

A block of ramen, uncooked, straight from the package.

I ate in the darkness while my roommate was asleep.

 

[Clockwork]

One of my saddest meals was a glass of almond milk. I tried drinking it straight but it made me gag. I then added Cheerios to it which didn't help at all.

What do you have against almond milk?

 

[yepyepyep]

In my old student apartment I only had an electrical stove and no toaster,microwave, grill or oven, so I used to pan fry bread for breakfast. Not that sad I guess.

 

[Freaky Fred]

I lost power for 2 days and made a sandwich by snapping apart the two layers of dry Ramen and spreading peanut butter between them.

It was honestly better than I expected

 

[geomon]

Pretty much anytime I ate something involving these things:

On crackers. On bread. Alone. Doesn't matter. They taste like sadness.

"You are not alone. I am here with you."

Milks made from almonds/peanuts/grains are pretty good.. why would you gag? :<

 

[3N16MA]

Sliced white bread and a glass of water. Only did it because my dad would tell me that is what you get in prison. He would tell me this when I was a kid so I would get scared and never do anything to land my ass in prison when I grew up.

Tried it one night for dinner even though my mom insisted I eat a proper meal that she cooked. It was a sad meal and kind of like eating a wet sponge. I got hungry later that night and ate the food my mom cooked.

Of course I later found out that my dad was lying.

 

[Falk]

It's a potato. One hour in oven. Little bit of salt. $0.60 meal for the day.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

It's a potato.

It, uh... it doesn't look like one.

 

[Zeppeli]

It's a potato. One hour in oven. Little bit of salt. $0.60 meal for the day.

I bet it was good, too.

 

[AxeMan]

It, uh... it doesn't look like one.

Needs to be peeled

That's a 'brushed' potato

 

[Converse]

Barley, hot sauce, whisky.

 

[Oreoleo]

Hm, you know. It does look a bit sad. But for the price you could do a lot worse.

 

[Falk]

We got snowed in. As a bonus I was huddling near the oven to keep warm.

 

[NoTacos]

As a college student w/o a car, its pretty depressing to be stuck at university snacking on a $1 microwaveable turkey dinner, you know the kind with two slices of processed meat, while the rest of your family is at home, eating a homely Thanksgiving spread.

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

Some of these are seriously depressing.

 

[BLAZER]

Sally i eat this all the time for protein/bulking purposes. Smells pretty bad but if you eat it straight away its not too bad. I get mine from Woolies.

 

[neoflcl]

Once in college I was having a dreadful bout with anxiety and depression and such, to the point where I couldn't really bring myself to leave my dorm. So I kept myself locked in my room and did nothing but sleep and watch Game Grumps :'D The only thing to eat was a jar of peanut butter! I lived off it for two (or maybe three??) days until was empty and I was forced to finally leave my dorm!

I eventually got help and I'm much better now. But yikes, that sure was scary in retrospect!

 

[Nander]

Once, as a freshman in college, I wanted some cheese snacks but didn't have any/didn't have any money to buy some. So, I spread out some corn flakes on a plate, grated cheese on top of them and put the plate in the microwave until the cheese had melted. Wasn't half bad actually.

 

[Supermanisdead]

im eating plain white rice right now. i dont even have ketchup.

 

[Dennis]

I have to say, reading this thread makes me realize that I have had a pretty privileged life so far.

 

[PaulExcellent]

I am in tears.
Thank you, GAF. You've given me the best birthday present anyone could ask for.

My saddest meal was eaten at a test site I was working 16-hour shifts at. My lunch box decided to stay home that day, so I had no food around. Everyone else was gone, so I decided to take matters into my own hands and scavenge for something to eat.

Appetizer: Paper.
Main meal: 7 stale gummy bears.
Dessert: 2 Tums and more paper.

When my shift replacement arrived, I ran out the door like a madman.

 

[Shadownet]

The struggle is real



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

Dude.. Rice and mustard? *pat on the back*

Not even soy sauce? Mustard?

 

[Shadownet]

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.

You should go get some bad peanut butter and stale bread. And throw it at that babysitter's face.

It's just water, she's a damn demon or something.

Cereal with water instead of milk when I was broke in college.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Can't wait to be living on my own so I can have a reason to try some of these out.

 

[Freaky Fred]

Cereal with water instead of milk when I was broke in college.

did you at least pour the water in the bowl first, or did you dump water all over your cereal like a barbarian?
