Saddest "meal" you've ever eaten.

The saddest meal I ever had was in university. And it was actually four. Money had run out on Friday and I wasn't getting any until Monday. My friends were away so I couldn't mooch off them. I had barely enough money to buy 300 g. of peanuts. I ate that during the weekend. I split it into four parts and had two lunches and two dinners.

Poverty!
 
When I house-sit for my mother, I make a habit of eating a family-size box of store brand imitation velveeta shells and cheese by myself. I don't even put it in a bowl, I just eat it out of the pot, with the giant spoon I used to mix it.

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.

In my twenties. I had a period of having no money. Lived off porridge oats (with water) and mash and beans for 3 months. I lost a 14lb a month for 3 months. 42lb in total. Every meal was a sad meal. I thought I was going to stave to death.

Fun times.

Why didn't you get food from mum and dad?
 
A tallboy Asahi beer.

I flew into Tokyo, took a train to my hotel, and was jetlagged as hell and starving.

I couldn't find any open restaurants or C-stores, so I drank a 16 oz. beer from the vending machine at my hotel and went to sleep.

This one time me and another GAF member were hanging out and we got a freezer pizza from the store. And I guess we didn't know that the pizza was actually not frozen and that it had thawed out.. So we put it in the oven but it was like bending and stuff.. And it wasn't cooking properly.. But we decided to try it anyway.. And we ate a few pieces of it, but we decided eventually that it was wayyyy too gross and probably too raw for us to eat anyway.. I definitely got sick from eating it.

And I found our photo of it, actually. This is what it looked like when it came out of the oven:

I actually feel nauseous just looking at it ;___;

It barely even looks like a pizza... ;__;
 
Was very high one night and all I had was string cheese sticks and jam. I dipped the cheese sticks in the jam and ate it. I ended up eating like 6 sticks, so I suppose that constitutes a meal.
 
When I was a kid (during the age of 11-14) I'd sometimes skip lunches I didn't like since I was alone while my parents were both out working. I didn't know how to cook so I'd just make these really shitty sandwiches with bread, cheese, chips and tomato ketchup. We didn't have much food and ingredients at home either.

And that's why I learnt to cook afterwards.
 
When I was young and living with my parents, they cut me off from dessert. I was like the fat kid Augustus Gloop in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". Any kind of dessert of fat laden item to come into the house was going to vaporize within minutes.

Anyway, my parents cut me off after I started putting on serious weight. I started craving that shit, because as my fellow fatties can attest, the need for that stuff just doesn't go away overnight.

So I'm combing the cabinets looking for something, anything. Stray chocolate chips? Nope. An M&M that fellow out of a bag? A beaten up package of Little Debbies that fell out of the box? Nope, and nope.

What I did find, however, was a package of baking chocolate. For those of you who don't know, baker's chocolate is chocolate without ANY sugar or sweetener in it. I found this out the hard way when I test ate a square, and spit it into the trash.

I get the idea to melt a square and mix some sugar into it; problem is, we didn't have sugar in the house, because fatty me would sit and eat spoonfuls of it with no other option. The item I found that had the highest sugar content in it was Heinz Ketchup. I was so hard up for something sweet, I melted down the rest of the baker's chocolate, squirted some ketchup in there, and mixed it up.

You can guess what happened. I'm still overweight today, but losing it slowly, and when I have the unthrottled urge to gorge myself on junk food, I think about vomiting that ketchup chocolate into the sink of my parents' kitchen.

Not that all fat people are addicts, but I pretty much perfectly fit that bill. I wish there was an AA for fatties.

This isn't really that strange. We would take a bit of pizza sauce, put it on two halves of an english muffin, throw some cheese on top, and a bit of pepperoni or sausage. Toast it up. It's a legit baby pizza.
 
I've had a lot of poverty meals in my time. I'm eating a little better these days, but I've survived on pocket change in the past.

The saddest dish I've had is probably a bread sandwich, which is two slices of bread and then nothing in between. Just bread. It's all I had to eat on a few nights.
 
Definitely a few weeks ago when I was too lazy to make grilled cheese.

I just toasted two pieces of bread and put sliced cheese between. It eventually softened up... and then I dunked it in ketchup.

It was kinda falling apart... it was sad but good.

I use to do this all time when I was a kid.

Lord that is sad, lol
 
I think just like bowl of instant noodles, some ham and sweet chilli sauce,

nothing as depressing as the food posted here.
 
Honestly, aside from the canned meats and the ice cube sandwich, I could consume most of the stuff in here. I guess I'm just conditioned to not care all that much about food, I appreciate a good meal, but sometimes it's just a means to an end. I could pretty much live off of toast and ramen.
 
Without a doubt the saddest was for me during a low point. I had been out of work for a long time and had a lot of health issues. Hence I had nothing but a bag of spaghetti and mustard left. Needless to say I ate that for 3 days in a row. It was some of the nastiest tasting stuff I've ever eaten. You do what you have to do though sometimes.
 
When I was living at home with my parents I once ate a full box of ice cream cones while they were out food shopping. They were probably the least filling food items I've ever consumed
 
I remember eating a gas station hot dog and drinking a Lone Star alone while watching CNN the night of 9/11.
 
when i was a poor college student, how about a cheese sandwich with white bread, lots of mayo and 1 slice of kraft single cheese?

It kept me going when I was starving through college. When I felt really frisky, I dipped it in lots of ketchup that I took home from nearby Mcdonald's. lol

=/
 
Doritos for dinner

Actually, no. My saddest meal was last year. I ate a soggy, doughey, nasty gas station sub with an Icehouse Edge tallboy for dinner. That's slightly worse than Doritos.
 
The saddest meals I've ever had were college "Sodexo" meals....so unhealthy and gross. After the first couple weeks of living on campus I just kinda gave up on campus food, even though the meal plan costed $1,500 that I'll never see again spent on food I fuckin hated! Oh well, I guess that's just college cuisine for ya
 
The other day I made tuna salad, but I was too lazy to put it on bread and make tuna melts. So I just ate the salad with a spoon.
