/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Steamed broccoli. I was eating it with some lemon pepper when I got the call.

>>5885862
call for?

>>5885863
Last call for alcohol.

>>5885828
Was about to eat some Jimmy John's when some nigger beat up my delivery driver.

Never did get that Turkey Club... ;_;

>>5885883
He knew you weren't actually in the club, you could have been arrested.

>>5885886
I'm on probationary!

I just wanted bacon on my turkey, god help me...

>>5885872
So finish your whiskey or beer.

>>5885901
It's closing time...

>>5885886
Everyone knows you have to be in the club for those.

Chayote squash brings back sad memories of having to eat this disgusting shit they call food.

>>5885828
Christmas pudding, grandmother died a long drawn out death from cancer, before she went she made sure that she had the pudding done.

Spaghetti o's.
Was poor with my ex gf for 4 years and we'd chow down on them and be happy together. Now it's just me

>>5886045
Oh wait. Saddest time. Probably baked beans.

>>5886045
She wasn't happy.

>>5885828
Potato, celery, onion, carrot soup with bread.
Was on food stamps and homeless.
Made shit soup and bread for every meal.
Food wasn't so bad, but times were.

>>5885828
vegetable stew.

I was in jail and the niggers would claim to be vegans then stick the new whiteboys with the vegan meals if the meat dish was better.

>>5886060
Take that back.
Papa Murphy's reminds me of sad more because it was same timeline, on food stamps, couch surfing.
>Friend worked at Papa's
>Papa's takes food stamps
>Friend takes my stamps (actually paper money at this time)
>Trades them for cash from the til
>Use cash to buy smokes
>Friend gets caught and fired
We were such fucking losers.

parmesan crusted chicken from cheesecake factory

parents were separated but not fully divorced, dad had custody of me and my sister that weekend. he had a date with a blonde bimbo that he didn't wanna miss because of his fucking kids so he took us with him. divorce finalized a week later.

When I was a kid, I got really, really sick. All I was able to eat was liquid food. Which meant for me, as an Asian kid was congee. My mom made it so plain and so underwhelming that it just made me sad while I ate it. All this while I watched my family eat the real food that she made. The worst was when my ma made pho and I had to eat congee.

I still can't eat congee without getting sad.

>>5886085
Your dad sounds like a fucking prick.

>>5886089
he is

>>5886110
It's in the genes so you'll grow up to be a prick too.

>>5886118
nah, i'll probably kill myself before i hit 30 anyways

>>5886087
you sound like you had an amazing life

Joe's Crab Shack.

The only time I ever shit my pants as a grown man.

>>5886160
Similarly, I caught the flu briefly before eating a spicy chicken dish at a decent Italian restaurant.

Spending most of your vacation time meant to be spent with your family vomiting before driving over 800 miles back home is not a pleasant memory.

7-11 hotdogs. that was my dinner i had on the night of my grandmother's death

any sort of canned fish, or canned beans, or stale bread, or basically any sort of homeless people food. I was homeless for a while, and now i am not. so fuck canned anything, eat fresh while you got it kids.

Roast turkey. My first Thanksgiving as an independent adult was with my ex gf. She cooked it.

OPs mom's vagina, was eating it one night and that's when I realized there is a skelington inside all of us, sad but true m8.

>>5885828
Shephards pie will always remind me of my late mum. I hate that shit and she always used to cook it. i'd love her to cook me a shephards pie now!

>>5886283
Are you baklavanon?

>>5886123
me too, buddy

Any time I have chicken breast, peas, and mashed potatoes in one meal.

>my ex of nearly 3 years and I were eating it when I told him I wasn't happy and wanted to be alone, completely blindsiding him
>he cried, I cried
>I moved back home for a while
>in that time (8 months) I've come to realize that my unhappiness wasn't at all their fault, though I made him feel that way
>I just don't know how to go about apologizing or if he would even want to speak to me

I wouldn't want to talk to me either.

>>5885828
Fettuccine and cheesecake. Also pumpkin coffee. It's too painful to go into more detail.

>>5886329
>>5886329

Let me guess: she literally couldn't even.

TFW I actually live in that shithole of a town from OPs news story. This level of shit happens daily.....

>>5886328
I hope you know how much of a shit you are for doing that. You didn't think to gather your thoughts before hand or something? I don't want to project my personal experience or anything but you really have to find some fucking way to clear the air with him. Right now he's living thinking he's a piece of shit that made you unhappy for 3 years. The shit can become a personal hell.
For me pie, my favorite show is pushing daisies and when my life turns to shit, which happens a lot, I cling on to things i enjoy to help pull me through. So despite it being the focus of my favorite show, I eat a slice of pie whenever things completely turn to shit.

>Best friend died in august, baked and ate an entire cherry pie by myself, crying my fucking eyes out the entire time.

Microwavable cake. I spent my first birthday at college by myself and got it in the mail from my family along with one of those candle holders that beeps happy birthday.

Not quite Like Water for Chocolate tier, but I still frown when I see it at the grocery store.

>>5886392
why would you microwave cake?

A Hungy Man meal. Cheated on, dumped and moved back in with my parents. The brownie was burned and inedible.

>>5885828
Nothing really. I make it a point to be cool calm and collected with no distractions while I eat. Never eat with malice. Never eat while reading, gaming, talking on the phone, or watching tv/film. Always unplug the phone/turn it off while eating, etc.

The focus is fully on the food and not the rest of the world.

grilled cassava and salted fish (with watered down tea). reminds me of my childhood days living in a shithole called manila

nowadays i'm making a decent living in the states. i recalled buying about large boxes of dunkin donuts and pizzas when i got my first paycheck.

people do feel nostalgic about these famine food but not me.

>>5886686
It's packaged store-bought shit for people who dont have access to an oven but don't mind eating shit

>>5886965
oi

>>5886693
>Cheated on, dumped and moved back in with my parents.

since we're anonymous and i'm curious, what happened?

>>5886970
I think he was cheated on, dumped and then he moved back in with his parents.

but im just speculating

>>5886975
oh, that is a very nice theory you have there.

Chicken wings.

Eating them out of a garbage.

>>5886364
>tfw another great show and bro gone too soon
>tfw no qt who wants you touch her even though she would die because of it

My dad would make me these little sandwiches every day when I got home from school. He passed when I was in grade seven.

Every time I see those little finger sandwiches, I think of him.

I love you dad, thank you for taking care of us, because mom couldn't care less.

Roast beef dinner. My parents would serve us tiny meals, not enough for a normal human. I would get a chicken wing or a slice of beef and a handful of vegetables. My parents would get the rest of the chicken. Then there was this pathetic yorkshire pudding. And a yogurt for afters. It was like a meal for a toddler. I was living on 1200 calories a day as if it was normal. I've never had a roast dinner since.

>>5887078

what the fuck

>>5887078

all I got growing up was frozen peas that had been microwaved (no butter, salt, anything added) and overcooked pasta with jarred sauce. We had that for dinner almost every single night. I'd rather have had a tiny portion of something worth a shit.

Chicken flavored top ramen with vienna sausages
Reminds me of the friday nights in high school that I spent alone. I never was cool, but that wasn't what I cared about. I just wanted a friend.

Honestly, Outback Steakhouse. That restaurant represents an entire period of my life that I wish I could have escaped from.

My dad got a high paying contractor job. My brother and I were pulled out of school and the family traveled with him. We lived in hotels and ate at chain restaurants every night, and it was Outback most of the time. I missed having friends. I missed having a home in the country. I missed having a kitchen and home cooked meals. My parents thought buying things would make up for the 'inconvenience' of uprooting our lives but it never did. No amount of videogames and basketball shoes could fix the loneliness and confusion, especially at a tumultuous pubescent time like that in my life.

I guess herring in cream sauce (pic related, don't know the English name). I lived in quite a weird place because of an internship for half a year and I dreaded using the kitchen there so I ate that a whole lot.

And shrimps in sauce out of a cup. Can't eat those either.

>>5887174
where was it?

somewhere in the Netherlands I'm guessing?

>>5886132
It's been an okay life. Can't complain, I'm not disabled and I'm relatively healthy.

A few.

First, microwaved baked potatoes with salt and pepper only. Thank the lord for cheap potatoes.

Second, In n Out burger. I had just chomped into a doubld double when my mother called to say my best friend from high school had killed himself.

And now a riddle.

Man walks into a seaside returant and orders a bowl of albatros soup. Takes one spoonful and starts to cry uncontrolably.

Walks outside and kills himself. Why did he do it?

Its a 20 question riddle, ill try and be swift in hints if anyone guesses.

The saddest time in my life was when I got this ulcer in my throat due to reflux so it is lemon or pineapple.

>>5887267
It's his dead mother's recipe?

Anyway, I honestly think my saddest meal was a double baconator at the Charlotte, NC airport. I was in the LDR and my girlfriend and I decided to break up just the night before my flight. My flight was delayed while I was the airport so I was stranded. I took one bite of the burger and lost my appetite.

>>5887267
>Why did he do it?

he had befriended/domesticated an albatross that lived near the seaside restaurant and noticed that the albatross soup had contained that same albatross

>>5887267
>Why did he do it?

he's allergic to albatross

>>5887316
>>5887296

He has never eaten albatros soup before

>>5887303
first time eating albatros soup... but your think in the right direction.

>>5887332
>first time eating albatros soup... but your think in the right direction.

too much thinking

fuck this

someone else solve it, i'll just observe

>>5887345

you can do it anon.... its his ACTUAL first time eating ACTUAL albatros soup.

don yon thinking motif mon frier (sorry can't spell frenchy)

>>5887354
albatross: a continuing problem that makes it difficult or impossible to do or achieve something

you didn't mean the bird

what the fuck do i win?

>>5887371

nope,, actually meant the actual bird.

hint: it is way more depressing. he deserved to kill himself.

You should be asking more about the man, now that you know it was his first ACTUAL time eating albatross soup.

And no, he is not a golfer

>>5887377
is human flesh a substitute for albatross or what?

>>5887408

getting closer... try and figure out his profession first. before he went to the seaside restaurant.

I was making my way downtown, walking fast

>>5887377
the albatross soup is unrelated, his friend's mother just called him and told him that his son (his friend) was eating at the pleb restaurant that is In N Out and got so furious that he killed himself because the restaurant was a 5 star french world renowned one and he was one of those asshole critics that could not associate with plebeians who ate at In N Out because it would ruin his image.

i'm sorry if this offended you. i need another hint and/or more time to think.

>>5887431

thats okay anon, you tried. figure out his profession first, then it will be clearer.

>>5887424
the soup was so bad he killed himself.

he's a food critic.

>>5887424
A fisherman would go to a seaside restaurant I guess. Going for a run so hopefully I come back to a non-bullshit answer that could have been derived from the story logically. I know an albatross can be considered a bad omen for fisherman if they die if I recall or some shit.

>>5887439

not a food critic. retired from his profession many, many years ago.. and just now visited the seaside resturant.

for reasons

>>5887442
why would he knowingly order the soup then if he knows it's bad juju?

>>5887446
was his death an accident? was this seaside restaurant overlooking a cliff?

>>5887442

not a fisherman, but his work was ocean related for sure. figure out why he retired.

>>5887456
death not an accident, offed himself right out the front door. he KNOWS he deserved it...

>>5887442
>>5887446
So fisherman kills bird, brings bad luck, and then buddies die or they die and he eats them. He blames himself for their deaths.

>>5887460
this riddle's answer could be severely ambiguously interpreted to an infinite amount of possible answers unless you somehow hid a clue in plain sight in your riddle itself in your first post and I am somehow overlooking it. am i wrong?

>>5887461

not a fisherman. but the second part is very close; your just missing a few details.

>>5887472
not one of those kinda riddles. more like a 20 questions. you are meant to use your questioning skills to allude closer to the answer.

The man was in a ship that was wrecked on a desert island. When there was no food left, another passenger brought what he said was albatross but was really part of the man's wife (who had died in the wreck). The man suspects something fishy, so when they finally return to civilization, he orders albatross, realizes that what he ate before was his wife, and kills himself.

he's a shitposter on 4chan and he got permabanned. please be sure to turn off the oven before you sudoku.

mods, ban this infidel.

>>5887480
that's a lot of dicks placed in front of her

My parents get along horribly so most of the bad experiences I've had revolved around them. Holidays and family outings were usually some of the hardest to deal with.

>family trip to New Hampshire ( or some other NE state)
>parents driving around at night to find a place to eat dinner at
>dad's getting pissed and constantly shouting at my mom (no gps or phones back in the day)
>they decide to stop at some Italian restaurant but it turns out to be one of those fancier ones with well-dressed guests
>dad gets pissed/embarrassed because we're all dressed casually, plus there's two kids (me & sister)
>wind leaving the table after the waiter gives us drinks, dad drives us to Popeyes or some shit for dinner

>>5887480
Either this or just one of his buddies. I was unaware it was one of the question riddles, I should have read better.

hot dogs
when i was 8 i was in the car with my mom and she told me to go inside to get hot dogs for the both of us
came back and the car was gone, took her 4 hours to come back
hot dogs just taste like disappointment and abandonment to me

>>5887480
then why would he order the soup in the first place?

>>5887480

so close!!!

i'll give it to this anon. man was a sailor that was in ship wreck yes, but the wife is not involved. his brother goes out to get food, and is 'taken away by the sea' according to his fellow crew men. they eat him, and others, and the man only knows it is albatros soup/

many decades later when he finally returns to the coast, that first bite tells him what he had done. the guilt of eating not only another man, but his own flesh in blood is too much for him. ends his life.

good job anon!!

>>5887482
wrong thread? talking about zed?

>>5887490
He wanted to confirm his suspicions

>>5887493
Almost all foods taste differently though. It could have been just seasoned differently. Maybe a different breed of albatross or something. That seems like a rather big leap to kill yourself. He probably already knew he ate him and just finally admitted it to himself after eating the soup.

>>5887493
oh boy a puzzle who's answer has nothing to do with the puzzle and is literally pulled out of your ass. fuck off Layton.

>>5887489
>in the car and go inside
to the gas station*

>>5887496

i heard the riddle from an old sailor (90 old)... so hey i'd believe it. Might be one of those legends of the sea that is told over and over again forever with little details changing.

>>5887498
i don't know who layton is, but you should also probably kill yourself. i'd suggest drowning in a vat of albatross soup.

>>5887498
>>5887493
PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

WHY DO YOU WASTE MY TIME

NOW I'M LATE

THANKS

now show me your tits or dick

either would suffice

>>5887508

>not browsing 4chins on mobil

I'm sorry i made you late anon, hopefully you don't become homeless from it.


this riddle was also meant to kill time on a greyhound from the bay area to LA... i was sitting next to the old man who told me the riddle. honestly didn't get the whole thing until we had maybe an hour left to drive...

Thanksgiving dinner.

My godfather slipped into a coma after falling down a flight of stairs. So a small number of the family decided to spend it with my godmother ( great aunt) so she wouldnt be lonely. It was potluck style was it was a mishmash of traditional thanksgiving, mexican, and some asian food. I spent most of the time catching up with some cousins and uncles. My godmother wanted to visit her husband in the hospital and she prepared him a small plate of turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, beans, and pumpkin pie just in case he woke up he could eat something nice. So my parents took her and I followed with the plate of food and some extras my godmother packed for the nurses. We get there and gather into the room, say how much we love him, and hope he wakes up. She unwraps the food and puts it on the table besides his bed.Talked to the nurses to see how he was doing and give them the food my godmother packed . 15 minutes later some difficulties start to come up. His body starts convulsing, machine alarms are going off, and hospital staff start to run in to help. After 5 minutes of that ordeal my godfather passed. I couldnt even drive back to my godmother's house for a good while because i was a blubbering mess.

>>5887555
>tfw your cooking is so bad your family would rather cease to exist than eat it

silmar story

visited my grandfather after he had slipped into a coma. he had other medical issues , so we knew it might time... had our christmas brunch in silence... stayed him him holding his hand and tell him kids were okay... his grandkids were okay... his pulse weakened a bit but you could tell he was relaxing.

i told him it was okay to go to my grandmother, we were all doing fine thanks to him...

passed away that night.

i'd just love to think in your case he smelled the dinner, could feel his loed ones around him... and slipped away. I'm sorry anon, i hope this thanksgiving is a bit more sweet than just bitter.

The day after my husband committed suicide, my friend brought me a Subway sandwich, along with new socks and a big, comfy pullover hoodie.
She got all my favorite stuff on it and hung around for as long as she was able to. It was all very sweet. After she left I was pressured by crisis workers to eat the sandwich. I took a couple bites, then went and threw up. I didn't have a bite to eat for three weeks after that. I felt so guilty. Whenever I'd consider having something I'd think about how much he'd like it, how he'd never eat again.

I've always shown love through food. I love to cook and without trying to sound snobby, I'm quite good at it. My husband loved my cooking and whenever I make anything that he particularly liked, I feel shitty. Like, that's his and I shouldn't make it when he's not around. I have a lot of recipes that make me sad, but I still make them. I just have a habit of mentioning that "this was one of his favorites" when I do.

Life goes on, and feels come with it.

>>5887555
shit...

>>5887576
O boi ima laffin

Good shit, anon. Right after that guy made me tear a little bit.

>>5887607
see:
>>5887630

so many genuine stories in this thread...

>>5887267

Was he a seaman?

i threw out half a pizza two days ago. for lunch today i had nothing so i fished it out and microwaved it.

i think i may have lost some respect for myself, but not sure.

>>5887607
why did he commit suicide?

>>5887665
Believe me, that's softcore. I've 'washed' old kebabs with ants on them and then microwaved it because I couldn't be bothered to cook.

>>5887607
>"this was one of his favorites" when I do.

some people get ridiculous and scream you shouldn't do this...

if you loved him there is no harm in remembering him. Like you said, life ebbs and flows with feels abound crashing on the rocks of our life.

Write a cookbook for him. Stories and Recipes. If only so someone else may appreciate what you did for each other.

Cookies, undercooked food, and while technically not a food, opening the fridge to see little to no food

These things bring me to a special depressed place, because, for years and years and years when I lived at home my stupid piece of shit mom would only ever buy things like cookies or "breakfast bars" or shit like that. So I would routinely never have anything to eat besides cookies. Cookies and milk or cookies and bread or cookies and cereal or shit like that.

I never was able to save up enough money (paying for bills, paying for gas to get to work, paying for food for myself when I can to cook for myself, etc) and I still live in this hell hole. Tonight for dinner I have oreo cookies, and "belvita breakfast cookies". That's it. And some ice cream.

It would be worse to not eat anything so I just eat a couple of these and call it a night.

I wish I was dead.

My father loved sweets. He especially loved my cookies. My mother ran out on us when I was ten, and I took it upon myself to learn to cook, beginning with baking. So of course, from my very first batch of (what I'm sure were crap, speaking technically, as I was a kid) chocolate chip cookies, he would rave. Every time.

As I got older, I got better. I taught myself, learning from trial and error, from cookbooks, from any little scrap of information I could garner from cooking shows. He raved, every time, just like the first.

I grew into adulthood, moved out, continued learning, scouring the tubes for techniques, tips and tricks, better ingredients. I didn't see my dad much, but whenever I did, he'd ask me to make him my special cookies. He wanted them just like I'd made them as a clueless kid. Unsoftened tub margarine in place of butter, improperly measured floured, too many chocolate chips. He wanted them wrong. I would always tell him, "Daddy, I can do better. There are certain ways of doing things that I didn't know about then." But he would insist, and I would go against my accumulated knowledge and oblige. He loved them, said they were the best he'd ever had.

>>5887750
Last time I saw him, he asked me to make him my special cookies. I got everything I needed, prepared to make a batch like I always do. He was sick, as he often was while I was growing up. The man was not healthy, but he was a happier person than most. Things happened, my mother came around and wreaked emotional havoc, and I had to leave for the sake of my infant daughter. The day after I left, I was informed my father had multiple strokes and had gone into a coma. A couple weeks later he was dead.

While he was unconscious in the hospital, I wondered if I could make him my cookies, bring them in, and somehow the smell might magically wake him up. This was not feasible, as I lived hundreds of miles away. I still feel so guilty that I never made him his cookies. He told me as I was preparing to leave that he didn't have much time left. I told him he was being silly, that he was only sixty, that he still had a granddaughter to watch grow up. It's been nearly a year and I haven't made those cookies since. I make my new and improved recipes and every time it hurts. I feel so awful. I promised him cookies and he never got them. They didn't seem important at the time, but they're sure as hell important now. I tend not to eat the cookies I make now. I just let my loved ones have them.

a pound of cabot cheddar, shredded. one tall jar medium tostitoes salsa, and one large bag of strip-shaped, 2 bags organic corn chips. mix salsa, salt and cheese, dip.

my bulimia had gotten pretty bad in 6th grade. i would eat this exact thing every day after school and throw it up. i continued the tradition for another 3 years before i decided it wouldn't fit into my "diet".

I spent Thanksgiving in a military prison. The meal was actually pretty good, considering the circumstances.

>>5887745
Also, forgot to mention these:

The undercooked food part is because whenever she does have half a brain cell to cook something for us (me, her, my brother) she will somehow over cook it entirely, but also leave it raw in the middle. I don't even know how it's possible. The most rubbery chicken you will ever eat. The most bland sauces you could ever taste. The most burnt meat there was. Etc

And because she buys all these breakfast bars and shit, which cost a dick load of money (since she buys so many of them) she never has any money to buy real food (or very rarely does). And since she only gets paid once a week about 200 dollars (since shes also a drunk and can barely hold a job and has to settle for less pay so she doesn't get dumped) she wastes it all on booze and these stupid fucking cookies.

I know there definitely people with it worse out there than me, and even the people in this thread have said worse; but I would give anything to not be in this horrid place.

>>5887668

He didn't leave a note, and I don't think there was just one reason. He just, I don't know, he needed help. Help i couldn't give him, I guess. He had a few drinks, we had a mild argument, and the next morning I found him unresponsive on the couch with a .45 in his hand. Just missed him too. I feel awful. Like, I'm sure I could have stopped it, one way or another. I didn't know he was even thinking of such a thing.

I just can't imagine how much he must have been hurting to do that. Our daughter was less than a year old and our lives were finally looking up after years of bullshit. I don't know what happened. I fucking hate that he died alone.

>>5887710
>Write a cookbook for him. Stories and Recipes. If only so someone else may appreciate what you did for each other.

That Well that's actually a wonderful idea. I think I'll do that. Food was a big thing with us and I wouldn't have tried half of my "signature" dishes if it weren't for him either supporting my curiosity or begging for something delicious.
Thanks, Anon.

oatmeal

kicked out by my cunt mother when i was 17, moved in with my best friend who had back kicked out just 2 months before, he was on his own only because of death benefits he got from his dead father.

we were poor as fuck and at one point, for about a week, had only a large cannister of raw oats to live on

that was before we just started doing crime

>>5887768
i want to say i'm so sorry but i'm not the reason why so i'll say you have my sympathies, anon

>>5887795
It's really shit how people are still adamant against welfare/financial aid, especially in America. You allow people to get poor as shit and then act surprised when they do crime to get their money.

>>5887768
I forget his name but there was this one youtube celebrity that killed himself. He was trying to lock his wife out of the room and stuff because he didn't want her to see. I can understand why you would feel bad about it but he probably wouldn't want to have put you through that. Our sympathies anon <3.

>>5887753

>>5887789
I really wish I could.

But we're so far in debt/bills/etc that I can't.

I want to so bad. I want her to just die in her sleep. I don't understand how shes even alive. She doesn't deserve it. Better people have died for nothing and yet she succors on with breathe. It's sickening to me.

But the money I do make I need to use all the time on bills combined with her and my brothers money, for food, or gas, or whatever else comes my way. I can save an average of like.. 100 dollars or less a month and I only just got my job and have had to spend all my savings already on stuff.

Best thing you can do? teach your daughter how to make them. tell her why they are important to you. Then she will make them for you some day.

If you do write a book, i hope you do, find a way to get it to us. publishing isn't the same as it once was, you don't even need a publisher.. just write an Ebook kinda thing and maybe make a nice hard copy for yourself. If it is very succesful, use the procedes to set up a charity or memorial scholarship.

Penne with marinara sauce and sprinkle cheese.

I was a week from my 7th birthday. My mother made it for me and my sister. That night the officers came to the door and said my father had died in a one-car car crash. Basically he killed himself, he was schizophrenic.

The officers ended up recording his death as an accident because otherwise we wouldn't have gotten social security and would've ended up homeless. Guess not all cops are bad, or at least they weren't bad in late 1995.

It hadn't even occurred to me to teach her how to make them. I've always planned to teach her how to do them "right". But it's a good idea. She only got to meet her pappy once and she'll have no memory of it, so maybe teaching her my old imperfect recipe will be nice. Or hell, maybe someday she'll make her own technically incorrect recipe and I'll encourage her the way my dad did for me. We'll figure it out in time.

And as far as my husband's beloved recipes go, I'm already building the cookbook in my head. BBQ ribs, lemon bars, kheer, mousse, pumpkin pie, all of my Thanksgiving recipes. It kills me to think about the look of excitement on his face when I brought home a turkey or showed him a new recipe I wanted to try. He was such a love.
If/when I get around to compiling it all, I'll probably make a thread here. I'll figure something out. It's been just over a year now, long enough to at least try to find a bit of happiness in his memories.

because i'm paying taxes out of my fucking ass for illegals SNAP cards and unemployable violent felons weekly meth hookup.
welfare should exist, absolutely, but it should be much, MUCH harder to receive. it's incredibly easy to take advantage of the system.
also, we don't 'allow' people to get poor as shit. they bring that on themselves.
they want to work minimum wage jobs their whole lives, which are intended for teenagers, and they want to support a 7 child family on the paychecks. then complain when it's not enough.
it should be easier to get college tuition than welfare, but it's not.
also the motherfuckers that commit crime would do that shit in the first place regardless.
do you live in a comic book fantasy world or some shit?

it doesn't even have to be food.
you know that you can take welfare and SNAP and cash it out right?
read the weekly meth hookup.
meth is an exaggeration, but in states where weed is legal you can just go hit up an ATM and withdraw cash, and hit up the legal dispensary.
this is coming from a very pro weed non smoker. its bullshit.

Almost anyone without enough food will do crime to live. It's survival anon, I would like to think I wouldn't do it but while I probably wouldn't be violent I would probably steal. Especially at stores if me or my family was starving to death.

Obviously some would live in crime either way. Also I agree with some of the sentiment of harder welfare, I know whole families on it just because they're lazy. I think if you get government aid you should basically only be able to get a shopping list mandated to you, like parents might do to a child who doesn't actually make money. You can only get these certain foods that are cheap/pretty healthy and spend it on some cheap ass clothing too. If you don't try to get jobs with real effort though then fuck you. It's ridiculous they can get junk food/soda with some of these cards.

It just seems silly to me that some more socialist countries that have better programs for this shit and they have lower crime rates because of this.

holy fuck i'm going to end up like this. I'M GOING TO END UP LIKE THIS.

>we'll have a dip for.... for....

THERE IS NOONE COMING AHHHHHHHHH FUCKING CHRIST

why. why. all i want to do is cry now.

Bagels and lox, breakfast sausages, orange juice, scrambled eggs, some meatball thing. That's what I ate for my last breakfast with my dad before he dropped me off for university across the country.
Also a subway sandwich, oven roasted chicken, provolone cheese, wheat bread, all veggies except olives, black pepper. That's what I get for lunch when I go to the beach with my family.

Whenever I have the extra money to buy groceries, I usually end up buying (at one time or another) flour, yeast, cheese and tomatoes.

And I have an ok spice cabinet.

I make pizza for me my girlfriend and my brother (sometimes, he is usually never home). I make sure to never make any for my mom. I literally do not want to ever give her anything ever.

I'm not even mad at her, I'm mad at my life in general. I just want it to be over, I just want everything to not suck so much dick constantly. Maybe be at peace for once in a lifetime.

:( sorry anon. Does your gf have a job? Can you get her to buy you some food? Also, if it's an option, try to get a job waiting tables. Sometimes if food ends up 'dead' from someone ordering it and canceling, leaving, changing their mind or whatever the servers get to eat it. You can also sneakily eat people's leftovers. Not bitten-off stuff (unless you're desperate) but like a sandwich that was cut in half and they only ate half, or an appetizer that comes in pieces (onion rings, etc) that they didn't eat all of. Most places pay 2.13/hr (if you're in US) but with tips you usually end up with more than minimum wage if you choose a popular restaurant with some more expensive meals. Never work at a corporate chain or anywhere else that advertises their low prices, you won't make good.

I guess its honey. I was neglected at a very young age and during those times I would eat honey. It's so Nic and sweet, I really enjoyed it. I would combat my constent hunger by putting honey in a little bag and eatting it in my room.

>>5886364
I'm well aware of what a shit I am for doing that. It was/is a weird time in my life, but that is no excuse. I've been told he hasn't even tried to date anyone else. I've been thinking of going to the grocery store he works at (we used to work there together) and opening with "This is not me trying to beg you to take me back. I just want to apologize and explain." Or something.

>>5888235
>This is not me trying to beg you to take me back

if you start with that, that's exactly what it'll sound like to him.

>>5888235

Don't put that on him at work, it's no place for an emotional conversation and besides you could get him in trouble. Text him and ask him to meet you somewhere. If you go to him at work write a letter and give it to him and leave.

>>5888138

we feel your feels, anon.

>no feeling like ragecooking while poorcooking

>>5887912
>you know that you can take welfare and SNAP and cash it out right?

This is simply not true.

Here's mine, I still feel like shit when thinking about it:

>Mom is coming over to eat dinner at my place
>Decides to really out-do myself
>Cooks a salmon pasta with ruccola, pesto, etc etc
>It looks amazing
>I am really proud and can't wait to show mom (even tho I'm an adult)
>Mom does not show up
>Time goes by, I try to call her but she does not answer
>I have put everything on the table, making it look very nice.
>Sitting and watching TV while waiting.
>Call comes
>It's the hospital
>Appearently she had a stroke on her way to my place
>Rushes to the hospital
>She did not make it
>Spend hours in the hospital and waits for my dad to come there
>Worst day of my life
>Get's home, hungry.
>Sits alone in the kitchen and eats the dinner I've prepared for my mom.

True story..
Tears still come.

>>5887919
No. Two queens.

When we were 'home' it was an old 1970s travel trailer in the parking lot of a warehouse the company owned. My brother and I shared the fold-down table bed and my parents slept on a queen size bed ten feet away.

>>5888247
I'm not really sure how to start the conversation. A friend told me he's still "obsessed" (their word, not mine) with me, but is still heartbroken. If he doesn't want to take me back, I'm fine with that and want him to find happiness. If he does, awesome.

>>5888339

I live a few hours from my parents and sometimes my mom drives over to visit me for a few days. One of my worst fears is that she'll get in an accident on the way and die and it'd be on my soul and the rest of my family's minds forever.

Well now I know why you all are alcoholics

I am too.

oh yeah this one
guy is a sailor, ship gets fucked up, ends up on a raft or island or some shit stranded somewhere with two or more other dudes, one dude has to be killed or dies of hunger or something, the first dude wouldn't be able to face eating another human being so the other guy tells him he caught an albatross and offers him albatross soup, and then they're rescued like immediately after. upon eating albatross soup for the first time he discovers it tastes nothing like human, has an oh-god-what-have-I-done moment, and then offs himself.

I use to love these fuckers

When I was a kid, after my parents got divorced, my dad always used to get loads of fun sized mars bars and other things associated with children's parties in the olden days and every time I spent the weekend with him he'd throw a sort of "party" to celebrate me being there. Kinda nice.

When I told him I was too old for his parties and it was cool to just hanfg he said "when I'm dead and gone you'll remember these parties anon".

He died when I was 17 and I haven't eaten a funsize marsbar since. Even 20 years later I get odd feels when I see them.

This video makes me a little bit angry.

I can't cook at all, and stuff like this annoys me that it's considered cooking. You can't take two or three pre-prepared store-bought items like canned chili and cheese sauce and call it cooking.

I mean if you made the chili yourself I'd forgive the cheese sauce because I've never seen anyone make a cheese sauce like the canned ones with that thickness and all.

>>5889549
Damn dude, you just watched Weber Cooks and decided that he needed to be taken down a few pegs. That's pretty ruthless.

>>5887817
well if you pay the bills you should declare some say in what you spend money on...
or if you want to go the sugar route... tell your mom you'll buy the groceries so she can have more time to relax since she works so hard... then buy real food (plan out your meals so it lasts).

cheap food on my grocery list...

pork sirloin (i can get 2 for $9)
carrots (2 lbs for 98 cents)
shop anywhere with bulk... bulk stuff is awesome. dried beans are easy too and it comes out to be like 25 cents per "can" amount vs buying cans (like 2 bucks!). spices are the most pricey thing.

you can do it anon!

>>5889549
what the hell did he ever do to you?

you know the man is dying inside?

noodles from red box near the edinburgh uni campus. i ate it in the flat i used to share with my ex fiancee while cleaning up the place and moving my stuff into the car.

also chili, which i made at home to take to my best friend and housemate while he was in the hospital with what could very well have been a fatal autoimmune disease. it was dead winter and i made it every week til he recovered. sort of a bittersweet memory.

this one guy stole frozen chorizo from my freezer and shoved it in his ass at a party i had.

This shit winter vegetable soup which I had to make for home economics when I was in 7th grade. I was being bullied relentlessly. And we were living in this completely isolated town in the middle of nowhere where I had no friends and even the teachers picked on me. My parents were absolutely horrible to me during that time. My mom basically ignored me and left me to sort of run the house- cooking, cleaning etc. My dad alternate between locking me outside and beating the shit out of me to take out his rage.
Anyway, it was a cold, rainy day when I made this soup. I was late out of school because it was my last class of the day, so I missed the bus. I called my dad for a lift home and he came, telling me to get in the car. The cat i.e. my only friend in the world was in the backseat, almost dead. We'd been born around the same time and he'd always sleep on my bed, respecting me above everyone else in the family. He'd been through many injuries and had been sick for about a week before that day. When we arrived at the vets, they said that he was riddled with fleas and mites and was in so much pain from old injuries that to keep him alive would be cruelty. I remember him trying to crawl back into his cage. I remember him looking at me when they stuck a needle into him..even though they said that he was unaware of his surroundings. I carried him home in the car and he felt.. dead despite appearing asleep. I buried him in the garden and then had to go back and eat the soup. It was worse than any other soup I'd made..and I thought that it was weak to cry infront of my family. My brother and sister believed that the cat had died because they'd had to take a detour to pick me up and blamed me. And the next day, this girl, who wasn't even usually rude to me, just decided to tell me pointedly that the soup was shit (we'd had to make it in pairs).

Luckily I've never made a similar soup since.

When they go.. man.. I have no idra how Im going to handle myself.

>>5885828
the closest i can come to "saddest time" in regards to food is when I was 18 a buddy and I had just started eating our meals at KFC when my mom called and told me my stepdad was leaving her. He was a fucking cunt and that part didn't bother me but my mom was fucking hysterical. After he left her she wasn't right in her mind for a good solid year. Took out all her anger and sadness and shit on me. Which then lead to me taking up a nasty opiate addiction to cope with her problems that she was laying on me and my own. Which I just got clean from finally last November after six years. Thanks for the memories, KFC

Brunch. Stuffed french toast to be specific.

Was halfway through when I got the call from the police saying my dad had shot himself in the head.

It's been 6 months and I still can't go out for brunch.

I met my best friend for lunch the day my mother died. We ate delicious panini sandwiches from this place that was featured on Diners Drive ins and Dives. I can get Togo, but I can't eat in this pretty outdoor greenhouse sitting area anymore because when I left there and went back to the hospice, mom died 7 minutes later, alone with me.

>>5889536
You're not trying hard enough, you are making up excuses to settle for a shit job with shit pay, there are many places that will hire almost anybody that start at more than minimum wage, with health benefits. Get off the internet and look for a new job you lazy cunt, you actually have to go outside to do it. I'd suggest you apply where I work, which is a nation wide opportunity that starts off at $11+ an hour with bi-yearly raises, but I honestly don't want any more lazy niggers like you working at my company than we already have.

salisbury steak
i helped my dad eat hospital issued salisbury steak for dinner the night before he died
i had to cut it up into really small pieces and feed it to him because it hurt him to move his arms
he would be 47 this month ;_;

My grandfather always used to make these when I was a kid, and he'd always end up making extra batches so all our neighbors could have some too.

I haven't had one since the day he died. I thought about making some for his birthday (yesterday) but he took the recipe for his papas rellenas to the grave, and I know I'd never be able to make them half as good as he did.

Rice. Before I joined the military it was just the wife, bear, and me. I didnt want my little girl knowing we were poor so the wife and I would eat bowls of rice and a protein supplement while we made sure bear had something good and happy like chicken nugget dinosaurs or something of the sort. My biggest fear was her thinking she was different from other kids, so I made sure the bubble never popped. When I eat chinese or indian I can never have just plain rice, and even just looking at it reminds me of where I once was.

>>5890466
then make it your own, add different seasonings and flavors. then give some to your neighbors.

>>5885828
Steaks. When I was younger we had lots of money and my family and I would sit at a table together and eat steak every wednesday. When my parents got into drugs and we became poor it stopped along with lots of other things.

I stopped eating red meat almost 10 years ago and steaks still make me think of the perfect family which i lost

Many years ago, back when I was like 16, my entire family went on vacation over Thanksgiving break. They couldn't find anyone to watch our pets, so the executive decision was made to leave me at home. I ended up spending Thanksgiving day alone, high as a kite, sitting in my room playing WoW. My Thanksgiving dinner was two boxes of Cool Ranch & Cheddar Cheez-It Twisterz. It really doesn't get lower than that.

>>5885828
Spaghetti
that shit is so bland to me now

>>5887070
Wow. This really made me sad

I used to live near this shitty bar in a share house with a bunch of people I hated.
I used to spend as much time in the bar as I could so I didn't have to go home.
Next door to the shitty bar there was this equally shitty pizza shop, I would go in there and get a shitty pizza when I was drunk and then waddle home and eat half the pizza and put the other half in the fridge for the next morning.
Wake up next morning, pizza was always gone, fat dumb bitch room mate had eaten it.

that's fucked up

Chef Boyardee cheese ravioli in meat sauce.

I was a stupid rebellious kid who ran away from home to live with an older guy when I was very young. I got pregnant and couldn't eat anything because I was constantly sick. when he found out I was pregnant he made sure there was no food in the house, not that I could keep it down anyway, until I had an abortion. I watched the food network as much as I could and dreamed of making and eating everything I saw.

That was the first "meal" he bought me after I got the surgery. I cried into the complimentary toast. I thought he was the love of my life

>>5891249
post the recipe pls. sounds rad.

Stacy?

Instant Kraft Mac n Cheese reminds me of the week I spent locked in my dorm room at college wondering why I was here if I despised every single class that I took.

I decided after a solid week of feeling like a shit and eating shit food that I'd take my mind off things by cooking really good food. That always calms me down.

So I'm in this tiny communal kitchen, making this killer cheese sauce out of my bechamel and folding the fusilli, bacon and caramelized onion into it when, midfold, I realized that if I loved cooking so much I could just do that shit as a career.

It's been a solid year that I've given up college to work the line in a high end fine dining restaurant in NYC and although the hours are long, the burns scars are permanent, and the pays pretty low, I've never been fucking happier.

It's kind of weird that mac and cheese represents both my lowest and highest point in life.

Not sure why but christmas day has had a lot of sad moments in my life.

One of my best mates from high school died in a car accident on christmas day driving to the local shop.

Friend died from a heroin overdose on christmas day

My best mate died in a car crash in July 2008, his birthday was christmas day, my nephew was born the same day he died.

Instead of christmas day being a happy day opening gifts with the family it has turned into a sad day of drinking in remembrance for those lost.

This is the saddest thing I have read also on /ck/ wow.

No I'm not Stacy, but it's interesting to know that people have similar stories. What was hers?

>>5886328
>tfw my girlfriend just dumped me over fucking facebook because she is unhappy and doesn't "feel the emotion of love, for anyone"
>Completely fucking blindsided me, she seemed so happy when we were together
>We spent 4-5 days a week together
>Every once in a while realize I'm never going to see her again, didn't even get the chance to say goodbye
>Get sad

I loved her.

Amazing thread guys. And they say we are the scum of the internet

I used to make scrambled eggs every morning for breakfast and would always give my pet rats some for their breakfast.

After they died I always felt sad when I made the eggs, and sometimes I would even kind of startle in the direction of their cage (it was near my kitchen) because I would momentarily forget they were dead and I couldn't give them anything.

Anyway I eat boiled eggs now.

That's welfare, not food stamps. It is impossible to get cash from that.

Heh heh... I do this sometimes to save $

>>5892221
we are the scum of the internet, of the world really. collectively, we've seen/done/been through things that no human should have to endure. the difference is we still feel for those that have it as bad or worse.

I wish every one could be like that. i was at the Quick Trip the other night and saw a young couple sitting in their car out front. They were chowing down on some hot dogs and it seemed they were having a great time. When did we get so spoiled that we can't enjoy the simple things?

>>5889409
Christ, your dad was fuckin gdark.

>>5889995

the feels...

I can imagine it so well.

I can still eat it, but it brings up really dark memories, so I almost never eat it. It's those instant Mama Shrimp Tom Yom noodles.

My mom worked all day and my step-dad was unemployed. He would regularly beat me for no reason. A few times, he came at me with a hammer and hit me on the head with it. I'm still surprised there wasn't any permanent damage. Anyway, since my mom worked from like 9-9, he would still have to feed me. This usually happened after he beat me. All the guy knew how to make were those instant noodles and force me to eat it. I always cried when he beat me and he would yell at me to eat so I would cry a lot. I would literally eat my tears because they fell into the soup.

He dropped off the face of the Earth when I was 14 and I'm pretty sure he's dead now. Good riddance.

BK Whopper. It was the first thing my parents got me after I got medically discharged after my chopper was shot down in Afghanistan. When I got back my parents decided to have a Whopper ready for me to eat since I enjoyed them when I was a kid. I didn't finish it there and my parents rolled me in my wheelchair to my room. They left the Whopper near me. I finished it but each bite I took made me cry and get all depressed. Not because I was fucked up with a total hip replacement but because this is how my Military Career ended.

I can't eat at BK anymore because it brings up memories.

this one time i was living on my own in an apartment i couldnt afford because i just lost my job and my girlfriend of 4 years and i broke up and none of my friends would come visit me and my parents hated me and i had to borrow money from my sister and i would light cigarettes on my stove and drink until the next day but sometimes my mom would give me some of their leftover groceries which usually included those bags of instant mashed potatoes and the only other food i had was hot dogs so this one time i made the instant mashed potatoes and cut up the hot dogs and put it in the pot and ate that. that was a really cold winter too and when i finally got a job they paid me on this stupid debit card thing instead of a real fucking check so i had to jump through hoops just to get a money order so i could pay rent and when i went to go get some gas for my car i knew i still had like $4.32 or something on it so i tried to get that pathetic amount of gas and the gas station attendant was trying to run it through but it wouldnt go through so i couldn't buy gas and it was so cold and my gas got turned off and i had to fill up all my pots and put them on the stove so i could have a hot bath so i wouldnt smell at work the next morning.

Honestly? Cheesecake.

When I was feeling my lowest a, few years ago, I started to regularly purchase whole cheesecakes and eat them, on the logic that it was "basically suicide in slow motion."

goddamn this thread is depressing.

Larry's pizza and delicious pound cake.

After my mom found my sister hanging in her closet the entire family just broke mentally and we were incapable of basic function. Shortly after my parents divorced and my mom brought in a 'friend' to stay with us. I gained about 50 pounds and pretty much lost my mother.

>>5885828

A Big Mac. It was my "final meal" when I was on death row.

Fried porkchops with banana peppers and eggs.
I was in a abusive relationship for a good year until I moved back home. My health declined rapidly so sometimes if I was hungry while I was depressed, I'd just drink tea or warm milk. We ate porkchops and banana peppers all the time so it reminds me of the happier times...I still have problems dealing with it.

>>5893298
Yeah but that's not the same as going to an ATM and getting cash from it, as someone was suggesting.

Cheese fries with bacon, ranch, and ketchup. I had spent 3 years going from 265lbs of fat to 180 lbs, then 205 lbs of muscle. And then something snapped, and all my discipline and work was gone, and I spent months laying in bed, barely going to classes, and eating those fries. I gained 50 lbs, had to move back in with my parents, and almost got committed to a hospital for suicidal tendency. Those fries were the only thing that brought me pleasure then, or have me anything to look forward to, but they always made it worse.

I gave you sister a delicious pound cake m8

I was eating Nathan's hotdogs when I got a massive head ache and passed out. I woke up in the hospital and found out I had brain cancer and tumors growing.

After four months of treatment, I've been told that I might live long enough to see 2015 if I'm lucky and that I should make my peace.

I'm 22 and my daughter is going to be born in December, I might get to spend two months with her.

Cecilia May, your dad will always love you, please be good for your mother.

pic somewhat related, my wife and I a year ago on a train to Chicago, I know I look like a sixteen year old.

Wow, I'm so very sorry. I'm turning 24 and I feel like my life hasn't really begun yet. I could only imagine what you and your family must be feeling. I'm praying for you, Anon.

I think a lot of people can agree with hot pockets

Macaroni salad. The family got a bunch of food when my dad died, and that was the last meal I ate before I got real sick from some stomach bug.
