/ck/ - Food & Cooking

My depression meal is going thru three different drive thrus to get all the food I need to binge on to kill the pain for a while.

>>18047441
Mmm yes, I know is this feel.

>>18047432
depression because the economy is tanking or depression because you feel sad?

>>18047486
why not both?

>>18047441
based

I tend to eat a lot of Roundmeal. I've even had a visit from Davis.

rice and canned chili

spaghetti and spam

>>18047432
Honestly your best bet is eating defrosted fruit, good bread or good oats, some kind of good nut butter(no added oil bullshit), decent canned meat like deenz or chicken, and maybe some cans of veggie soup. Most of the stuff listed doesn't go bad and takes extream minimal effort. It also won't leave you feeling worse when your already shit.
>t.had depression

Depression meal is getting home on a Friday and facing another weekend completely alone. So I'll pick out something to watch and decide to "treat" myself to some pizza.
>I'll get the XXXL!
>It's only $5 more than the XXL!
>And I can just eat that all weekend!
Cut to an hour later, that fucking box is empty, I fucking hate myself, and I'm wondering how in the fuck I can still be hungry.

>>18047492
well econ depression i eat beans and rice, flavored with onions
mental depression I eat 40 dollars worth of chinese takeout

>>18047441
Mine is going to the drive thru, staring at the menu, realizing nothing here will fill the void, driving off without getting anything, and doing this two more times before i get home with nothing and going to bed hungry.

Fried sausage and a cream cheese sandwitch.

>>18047432
I've been depressed many times and yet never have had the urge to eat a disgusting combination of foods. Why do you do that?

>>18047538
post living room.

>>18047432
like a rat in a cage, yikes

>>18047706
Can confirm, this is the true depression move

>>18047432
>eating dry noodles
hmm yes i imagine this is great for curing depression

>>18047441
this but only one drive thru because I'm not a fat fuck

>>18047432
Go to jail, then 'depression meals' becomes gourmet.

thanks aldi

>>18047432
>economic depression
Protein powder, butter/oil, and rice all day
>meme depression
Either nothing or buying a cake, flipping the container upside down and eating it with a spoon

>>18048686
>flipping the container upside and eating it frosting on the bottom

>>18048686

>>18047500
>rice and canned chili
This is actually delicious

>>18048686
>buying a cake, flipping the container upside down and eating it with a spoon

>>18048686
>buy cake
>flip upside down
>eat with spoon

Give this man a Nobel Prize, this is genius

>>18047432
Middle of the night gas station feast. I shouldn't eat that late and I need to eat better than this but fuck it, roller bites, microwave burrito, bag of chips, large cheap can(s) of some kind of drink, and either a chocolate bar or a pastry so loaded with preservatives bacteria won't even touch the sugar sauce it's slathered with.
As an added bonus, anyone at a gas station well after sunset for anything other than gas is probably having a worse day than you.

For me it's just water. I just lie down, don't eat anything for the day and drink water

>>18047706
This genuinely made me so sad. And I thought I was depressed.

>>18047432
Personally, the one time I had genuinely serious depression, I had no appetite and didn't really eat. Lost about 10# (4.5kg) over a two week span.

>>18047500
>canned chili
that stuff is like a nuke on your bowels, but on hot dogs it's great tier

For me? It’s driving to the liquor store, sitting in the parking lot for 30 minutes, then getting fast food instead

>>18047441

Start fasting fatass

step aside losers

>>18050757
Scratch offs are the saddest thing on that list.
Stop gambling, anon.

>>18050765
"Gambling" would imply there's a chance. This is just throwing your money away.

At least the memecoin retards on /biz/ can say they had a chance of making it big. Scratch offs are just sad.

oat and beans

spoonfuls of peanut butter

>>18050757
>gambling, alcohol, tobacco, frozen junk food
Where is the porn?

>>18048649
this nigga eating beans

>>18047432
ground beef. that's it

oh and a little salt.

>>18047706
You sound like me.

>>18047432
>big cans of baked beans on sale
>go to store and buy 20 to last me the next 2 months
>hear child screaming and crying across the store
>usually pair them with elbow pasta but they're out of all pasta, they have some noodles but that seems like too much work to shovel into my mouth when drunk
>go to buy rice, stocks almost completely empty
>get minute rice so I can just add water to the beans and microwave them
>grab 3 half gallons of Canadian whiskey because I don't want to have to come back to the store this week
>get BBQ potato chips to mix in if I add too much water, thinking ahead
>get in line
>child is still screaming
>lady in front makes a comment about how annoying it is
>tell her that I'm jealous, that child is doing what I want to do every day but if I just started screaming cops would shoot me
>she looks at me weird
>I wait a couple seconds and start fake screaming
>she gets out of line and walks to another one far away
>everyone within 10 feet is staring at me
>shrug and wait in line
>child is still screaming when I leave
I should mention that I was on my way home from work and I was covered in soot and looked like a coalminer with bloodshot eyes.

But yeah, my depression food is usually canned beans in some sauce and a starch or 2. I stopped eating meat not because I wanted to be a vegetarian or because of the cost but I can't be bothered to check the dates or store it properly and getting the shits would be really bad with my drinking, I'd die from dehydration like it's the 1800s.

>>18050941
God I wish my state would let you buy liquor from grocery stores

>>18051031
then vote democrat

>>18051173
wrong
t. Texan, ex-Marylander where this was not the case

>>18050940
If you feel Hunger you are not depressed

>>18050941

what do you do for work? I used to demolish houses. I came home to my student house and the hottest girl saw me covered in soot, wearing my coveralls. We dated for a few years but she would always tell me the story about how she saw me standing in the kitchen and she fell in love with me then and there.

We still love eachother but I'm an alcoholic and asshole so it's hard to get along with me sometimes.

>>18048686
But w-why upside d-down anon? What kind of sick sociopath does that??

>>18051277
The lid on the cake container serves a bowl.

>>18051189
dems aren't the ones restricting booze dumbass

Alcohol and whatever dry goods are in the pantry

>>18051206
That job I was torquing flanges. I had been at a steel mill for a few weeks and that day I did a 16 hour shift close to a coke fired blast furnace. Last girl I dated broke up with me because she couldn't stand the smell of sulfuric acid. Well that was probably the final straw on top of the drinking and being detached from reality but actually no it was just the acid smell. That was a shitty job, I had to wear an acid suit and supplied air for like 3 days but the smell still permeates your clothes. That's true love if she's still sticking around, hopefully you can straighten it out if you want to. Me, I just don't want to.

>>18051438
>>18051206
ive never worked a day in my life and sitting here crying listening to downbound train by bruce springsteen. i empathize with you bros.

>>18047538
Eat a maximum of three slices in the first hour then force yourself to have a one hour gap between slices.

>>18047441
Based and probably suicidal pilled

>>18051206
>advertising expensive unsecured property

Sloppa is the true depression meal.

>>18047500
I would swap those anon. Rice with spam, spaghetti with chili.

>>18051927
looks yummy. the kind of sloppa you would squish with your tongue before swallowing. mmmm

>>18051306
are you retarded? I can buy booze in virginia at a rape shack but have to go to a paki liquor store in new jersey. False equivalencies, shlomo

>>18051927
what a fucking mess

>>18051927
>putting in the effort to throw everything together and cooking it
that's not depression, that's just laziness

can of tuna mixed with mayo, celery salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper. Put in tortilla or on rice top with dried minced onions.

>>18052077
As some shredded cheese and a chopped veggie and that's just a tuna salad wrap.

>>18052104
yeah but that shit goes quick, I pretty much always have tuna+condiments+rice/tortillas

>>18051927
that's just fried rice with negative extra steps

>>18051844
>I've never sacrificed my mind and body for money that will never equate to the value I've lost in just being able to be healthy and content
I envy you bro, blue collar work is the short term solution to a long term problem, survival. Even if I get out with my back intact I'll probably get some disease later on. I'm more of a punk rock and metal guy buy I like Bruce. Favorite track is probably No Surrender, Born in the USA is a great pop rock album.

>>18052186
And if you can't drive with a broken back at least you can polish the fenders

>>18052204
They'll take my license first. Isn't that a Billy Joel song? That dude drove through a house, probably should have stuck to polishing it.

Decided to run out and buy stuff to make a patty melt, it was alright. Back to beans tomorrow.

>>18047432
Depression meal #056. No sign of stopping, endless consumption of meals to fuel my depressed mind. Things are decrepit. Dark thoughts, black hearts. Its way too late, I've become a monster.

>>18052273
you're gonna make it anon but only if you try

>>18052285
I've tried, 12 hours of interviews for a single job, and then what? "Thank you for your intere-". Let's face it, I'm not good enough. And what's more is every time I post on here, /ck/ thinks I'm trolling or they call my cooking horrible.

>>18052273
That's actually pretty extravagant for a depression meal, not only did you put in in a bowl but you have silverware too. I would have carried it over on a piece of cardboard and just shoveled it into my mouth, wiping my hand on my clothes to keep my mouse clean. Good for you, bro

>>18052273
>>18052294
Hope your situation improves soon fren.

I find that when I'm feeling especially shitty, I just don't eat anything. I'll make the kids lunch and breakfast and then I'll probably eat dinner with them but that's it.

>>18052304
thank you anon

>>18047538
That hunger is the emptiness in your soul. Who hurt you, anon?

>>18051306
how fuckin dumb are you, in massachussetts a hard blue state you can buy liquor at the grocery store yes, but in new york also a hard blue state, you have to go to a liquor store for it

>>18048646
there's three types of food experience
>commissary
>funds meals
>broke meals
commissary junkfood can be used as currency.
sharing your funds food with the broke bustas can be a favor.
>the fuck you mean by funds/broke
monetary implications redundant,
but broke meals consist of bottom of the barrel shit like moldy bread, rotting fruit, greasy oatmeal, imitation bologna/sausage. only thing worthwhile is the dessert - a cookie.

>>18051277
The heat from the lid cooks the cake

>>18047432
Meals high in salt, fat and/or sugar.
Spaghetti bolognese covered in cheese
Spanish omelette with chips(fries)
Nachos
Cottage or shepherds pie with chips
Lasagne and garlic bread
Pizza
Omurice
Chilli con carne with chips
Curry with rice
Mac and cheese
English breakfast
Burgers and chips
Fish and chips
Sandwiches (bacon, crisps, chips, etc)

Cheesecake
Brownies
Apple pie and ice cream
Ice cream
Apple crumble and custard
Trifle

>>18050854
I sometimes eat a spoonful or two of pb just to curb cravings since I'm a fatshit

>>18047432
Store brand pretzels dipped in a 4 pound jar of peanut butter

>>18047432
I once fried some luncheon meat and onions and then added cooked rice into the pan and topped it with some cheap garlic sauce during new years 'cause I forgot to stock up. Sht was pretty good.

I watch atomic shrimp on youtube and he fed himself pretty nicely for a whole day with only 1 single pound sterling. He found some wild apples in a hedgerow and got a free coffee from loyalty stickers he pulled from coffee cups in the gutter. Fossicked through the mushrooms at the supermarket until he found one that weighed low enough to cost 3 pence. Quite inspirational actually.

>>18051844
Downtown Train by Tom Waits wrote that song and his version is way fucking better than the Bruce Springsteen version.

>>18052872
dude, why did you have to share something so akin to a god tier snack when all the stores are closed today. fucking WHY??

>>18052424
Two weeks ago I was driving drunk and smashed into my neighbor's parked car. I fantasized about discussing things with him
>Why are you drinking so much? Talk to a family member
>I don't have any
>Talk to a friend
>I don't have any
>What about your S O.?
>I don't have one
>Do you have a religious figure in your life?
>No
>Do you have any hobbies?
>No
>What do you do with your free time
>I drink
He stands there with his wife and daughter in front of their nice house and sees me as practically a different species

>realized I don't really care what I eat as long as it doesn't actively taste bad
>cheeseburger or salad, fuck it
>ordered a tub of Soylent because it won the marketing game so when I thought of meal replacement it's the first one that came to mind
>been using it for 3 days now
It tastes iffy but it's over quick, and at least I'm not shitting my toilet 30 seconds later. I also don't care about the effeminate soy shit, I'm morbidly obese so I already look like a fat woman

>>18052943
Hopefully he does more videos with his friend John Warosa soon

>>18047432
When I'm depressed I cook something nice for myself to make me not feel so bad, not eat dog shit retard food for cocksucking faggots who are sorry for themselves 24/7 and are not actually depressed

>>18054082
so you're not depressed but are a soft cunt who thinks youre the only one a little sad and everybody else is just a little down today

>>18054102
Take your SSRI bro

>>18054082
>t. normie berating people with depression for not Just Getting Over It
you don't belong here

>>18052294
how did you do 12 hours of interview? i have the same issue with taking that shit personally but the last place to look for personal value is an employer. i knew a few people who worked in hiring that told they would refuse to take credentialed/experienced people because they thought they'd ask for bigger pay raises sooner. obviously this differs across different fields, but trying to pay the lowest wage possible to the smallest number of employees is still the standard in maximizing profit.

>>18054082
so what you're saying is you don't get depressed

>>18047521
No these are antidepression meals. We want stuff that accentuates our misery

>>18047706
I do this sometimes but I at least get a mcchicken before going home

>>18047432
Depression food? Son, you have instant noodles and canned meat?

Throw in chopped tomatoes,chopped onions baby bok choy, enoki mushrooms..an egg

Baby, you have a stew!

>>18050757
just one beer?

>>18047706
the cba to eat feels are something special

>>18052273
Is that tomato, spring rolls and cheese cake?
That doesn't even seem bad just strange to eat all at once rather than separately

>>18047441
get some self respect lardass

>>18051927
Drop the green beans and corn and add seared chicken chunks and lentils

glad to know i'm not the only one just existing

Once when I was really depressed and anxious due to some latino dipshit I was dating, all I ate was like 2 king sized packs of white chocolate Reese's cups (so 8 cups) because they were on sale at the local gas station until dinnertime.

>>18047432

Based and going to rope in a year pilled

>>18051277
If you leave it on the flat tray and try to eat it with a spoon or fork, the tray isn’t big enough to catch the occasional crumb, so it gets your bed messy.
If you get a plate or bowl, you have to cut the cake in pieces to fit.
Using the lid as a bowl is the minimal effort required to eat the entire cake without making a mess.

>>18054731
God this instantly reminded me of finding these hidden around by my ex. Technically only one was hidden but man did it make me fucking worried. I hope he's okay ;_;

>>18053792
you cant expect anyone to be act nice to a guy after hes just plowed into their car while drunk, anon

>>18055418
Lmao, sucks
My current partner is in the same situation I guess but fuck it's just so good

>>18053792
Every single addict is such a narcissist it’s unreal. You just fucked up someone’s parked car and you’re STILL whining about oh poor me me me.
YOU AREN’T AND ADDICT BECAUSE YOU’RE ALONE YOU’RE ALONE BECAUSE YOU’RE AN ADDICT
Every rehab should be a fucking extermination camp. Evil, worthless demons.

>>18052294
your food probably isn't that bad, post something you made again. you have a nice body too

>>18047432
Mine was beer, much compounding the problem. I learned to stock up on chicken noodle soup and rice, because that was at least easy to spoon into me. Also those peanut butter crackers, they're pretty calorie dense.
When I finally started pulling out of it, I started to put on weight because I was conditioned to gorge in the odd time I actually had an appetite.

>>18050757
I really hope you have some weed and aren’t just smoking a fucking swisher

>>18050757
Least trashy /ck/ poster

>>18055462
>guy drinks because of shit life
>drinking causes him to further fuck up his life
>has a moment of reflection and posts about it
>call him a narcissist

did you expect him to come here and tell us about how sorry he is for slamming into the car?

for me it's a medium BBQ chicken pizza, hot wings with blue cheese, fries, and a soda. I'll eat this around 2pm on a Sunday and watch my favorite TV shows.. pass out around 3pm, wake up around 5pm. this is better than sex

>>18054628
Yes, except the cheesecake is tofu and eggs

>>18055444
it doesn't become any better unless they want help. no amount of loving someone can fix it. that's all I learned really. time to have a fuckin drink myself

>>18047706
I spend like 2 hours looking at places on Google maps and checking their menus only to end up eating boiled eggs or frozen chicken tenders from Costco because I wasted 2 hours looking for a place to eat.

>>18047432
a paper plate of tortilla chips nuked with a handful of shredded cheddar thrown on top

I'm so grateful when I wake up from a drinking binge and see the $75 order from Dominos on my browser that I never managed to click the complete order button on

>>18056057
I am sorry
I'm a complete fuck up and most days are me telling myself to die
But objectively my insurance is paying 100% of what it'll cost to fix that guy's car where I'm going to have to pay 3k to fix my car, 3k in fines for the DUI, do five days jail time which I also have to find someone to cover for me during to not lose my job, pay 2k for a lawyer since the judge said I don't qualify for a public defender, lose my license for a year, was one day away from getting my own place but lost that bc I can't afford it anymore, all of which is happening bc my psycho heroin addict roommate is threatening to kill me, so I prop dumbbells against my bedroom door with no lock on it and keep pepper spray in bed with me
I wish I had run over somebody so I could just kill myself
Worked for my brother and my grandfather

>>18052273
i give you my cock anon

>>18057925
I can't stand having food waste on my plate while I'm eating. Before plating, the orange rind should be removed. else that would have to get eat last so I'm not eating off a perceived heap of garbage

>>18057925
That is kind of uplifting. DELET

White bread
Cold pork and beans
Slice of white american
Small slice of spam if you can afford it

Actually pretty tasty

Oregon is as blue as a state can get and you can't buy booze in a grocery store.

>>18059017
I live in Beaverton, the QFC up the road has a liquor store inside the grocery store. It's technically separate but functionally you just go in there before or after your grocery shopping.

If I can afford it, I grab some cheap chicken breast and I pan-sear that shit with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne powder, paprika, and oregano then put that on the ketchupy bulky rolls. I have never eaten either of these at a time earlier or later than 1-3 AM.

>>18048649

>>18048591
What, you've never gone to three places to get your favorite sandwich, your favorite fries, and your favorite desert? I love McDonalds fries, but their burgers are ass. When I'm in that kinda mood I'll go to Wendy's for the burger, hit Macca's for the fries, and swing by DQ for dessert.

>>18047432

>>18056711
First off you should be sorry.
Second of all how is drinking ducking helping anything? You complete moron.
Third your roommate is as unstable as you move out or go to a homeless shelter. You are a fucking adult with no skills at all. Look in the fucking mirror for fucks sake

woman thread

>>18060381
If people wanted me to have skills maybe that should have provided any avenue at all for me to get them. I was really smart but all that potential was wasted.

>>18050757

Nice. Sounds like you could use a drink.

If you remembered to eat you weren't really depressed.

Nope, they come in a few different flavors but it's all cheese-based stuff. No fish flavors.
