Yes it has, on four separate occasions.

Sit down, other /ck/ and I'll tell you some stories.

The first time food made me cry was on Valentine's Day, quite a few years ago. I was single and I was practicing my cooking. I made Yakibuta ramen.

I made enough for two people. I realized I had done a pretty good job.

And then I ate one share of it... and the other the next morning. Nobody cared about how well I had done. Nobody cared that I had picked up an extremely long, complex, borderline ritualistic recipe that included spending many hours of my own labor and fetching ingredients from specialty stores that had no practical application other than to slice them up and stick them in some ramen.

Nobody even cared that the picture wasn't very good.

This ramen was the first time I truly felt alone in my life.

A few years later, I was working on another recipe. I had seen a movie and I was inspired. Is this the picture? Heck I don't know.

The dish became a staple of my diet and I realized that, I could love cooking itself.

Not cooking for another person but cooking for cooking's sake.

when I was 3 my parents had a decorative pepper plant on the table, I have no idea what they were but this was a very tiny plant.. like 1 ft tall and it had all kinds of red/yellow peppers on it; so I grabbed one and put it in my mouth and instantly started crying. I still don't know what kind of plant it was, just that it was inedible.

I used to cook for a girl every day. I was super happy because I was trying to get into cooking as a hobby. As she continued to grow more distant however, there arrived one day where I realized that for the past few months no matter what I would make her, what she would ask for, she'd eat half of it and leave her messy disgusting dishes all over the house -- then moving on to snack food.
I had been cleaning dishes, scrubbing items stashed away aside couches for days, for MONTHS of my life. For just a little desperation of satisfaction I was doing such disgusting bullshit I hate and never even questioned it.

When I was in high school I had a rough home life, and ate most dinners by myself since my dad wasn't around and my mom worked evenings. I would eat with my friend's family a lot, and his mom started to keeps foods in the pantry just for me. One of those foods was shells n cheese, which makes me a little emotional when I eat it now.

I wasn't allowed to leave the table until I ate everything on my plate. Doesn't matter if I even liked the food or not, would still puke anyway. Though it was shitty food like boiled hotdogs, sphaghetti every night, old canned veggies mashed up with spinach band beans, etc.
Puking meant I got in more trouble, and would get my plate refilled. My family is also fat so these weren't child sized portions. He caught on to me sneaking food to the dogs under the table and hiding it in bookshelves so he took everything out of the room but the chairs and table. Spent most nights alone in the dark in the dining room because I wasn't allowed to leave and my dad would go out of his way to randomly and frequently get up to make sure I was either still there, done or make sure I didn't fall asleep. I'd be there all night, not allowed to sleep and still have to go to school, come home and there my plate was still waiting for me. If only crying got me out of that shit.

No idea how I didn't get fat but to this day I can't even eat a whole slice of pizza in one sitting. I have to eat like a mouse throughout the day otherwise I'll just puke.

i literally do not know this feel

my only family is my mother and father, everyone else died before I was born or shortly thereafter. No grandparents, no siblings, no cousins, nothing.

Got into a big fight with an ex-girlfriend who wanted to stop to visit her cousins, and then an aunt, and then another aunt, and then like her 5th sibling, and I just said fuck off no jesus god damn we are like 2 days behind because you want to visit your family, I DON'T CARE.

I SERIOUSLY don't understand this fucking family meme, and I know it's on me since everybody else really loves their family. My mother was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer and I didn't really care, same thing when she beat it. Called her a few times, she called me a few times, but I didn't drive down more than once over the course of a year and that was for Christmas. We don't do holidays or gifts or anything, it's pretty much "make a wishlist on amazon and somebody will buy you stuff off of it for your birthday"

family stuff is really strange to me and makes me feel uncomfortable and awkward, current gf also has a huge family and I just want to fucking die when we go to a relatives house for a party or whatever, fuck me.

Not me but my manager, her name was Nicky
I got her as a manager because she'd moved here (Houston) to put her husband through chemo for liver cancer. I loved her, she reminded me a lot of my mom in a good way, very hardworking woman who was kind of a tomboy.
Her husband got an extra few months but alas, he passed away.
She came to work, told us, and was barely there for a while. I asked my mom to ask my dad to bake his amazing, top notch apple pie, because I was worried she wasn't eating.
He baked two, and I gave them to her when I saw her. She thanked me and told me she hadn't really been eating but she'd give it a shot.
Came back two days later and told me it was the only thing she could eat, and that she'd sobbed the entire time because it was so good and she said it made her taste food again after the shock of her husbands death.
We held each other and cried for a good while.
She left work after returning the Pyrex pie plates.

I remember the first time I experienced the divine construct that is the Big Mac. The starch, the protein, the vegetables, the condiments, all in perfect symmetrical balance with each other. Bite after voluptuous bite I questioned how I had managed to come as far in life as I had up until that very moment.

I couldn't help myself, I had long since begun to cry at the overwhelming emotions I was experiencing from this ordeal. I rolled myself over to the front of the store, before going around the counter into the kitchen. The employees seemed shocked to see me at first, but I quickly eased their apprehension when I asked to shake each and every one of their hands, tears still glistening on my cheeks. Every hand I took into my own, I leaned forward and kissed before thanking the individual for doing the Lord's bidding on Earth.

There is a God, and He does love us. The Big Mac will forever be proof of this for me.

Up is shit though and the first movie where I realized, "What the fuck am I doing watching this babby-tier forced emotional bullshit"

I watched that one scene where the dude is getting older and his wife dies or some bullshit and you can just hear the movie literally screaming at you: YOU ARE FEELING SAD, THIS IS A SAD FEELSY MOMENT. It's spoonfed histrionic garbage, and that's totally fine but not when you're 24 years old. Art should imitate life and life is way more complicated than DUDE DEATH IS SAD LMAO.

Stepped my game up and decided to never watch a children's movie after that. Sadly, most people don't realize this and still watch superhero movies when they're older than 21.
