That would be a frozen pan of my wife’s meatloaf.
Not that there was anything inherently wrong with it; it was fantastic meatloaf. But we had some extra ground beef she wanted to go ahead and use, so she doubled the recipe, and put the 2nd one in the freezer so it would be ready to just thaw and cook some evening.
Which I did, and it was delicious, but very sad for me. It was about two weeks after she died in a car accident.
But I would have felt worse if I simply let it go bad with age in the freezer.

Had a spaghetti Bolognese delivered from an Italian restaurant during lockdown. Was depressing to eat. Overcooked pasta ,and it was in a tupperware tub, so being super hot created lots of condensation which watered down an already boring bland sauce. Could barely stomach eating a quarter of it. Ended up leaving it

the condensation came from the sauce, the liquid was already there it just separated

After a good friend of mine died suddenly I went to a bar near me and ordered a hamburger. It was fine. But I started drinking, and at some point I was crying so openly in the bar that the bartender comped my last drink.
It rained as I walked home.

Shit sucked. Nice of them to comp that last drink. That was a shot of tequila in my friend's honor. He was always fond of tequila.

Saddest meal for me was Thanksgiving 1999. First holiday meal away from home, had to stay on campus because I was totally broke and my car was too shitty to drive 300 miles home. Everybody was gone, whole town pretty much shuts down. But there was a food donation box in the lobby of my dorm and it had everything I needed to make green bean casserole and some stove top stuffing so that became my festive holiday dinner.

never eat if you're sad. i can't even remember ever eating a meal while sad, or thinking 'this meal is soooo sad broooo' uuuuuhh...'. i don't fucking eat if i'm upset. never have, even if i were homeless. look at everything as a learning experience and live for that experience and you'll never have a sad meal.

>Every Sunday, Mum and Grandma would take it in turns to cook the Sunday Dinner for the family, including cousins, uncles, aunts
>Meat (usually beef or chicken), mashed potato, roast potato, mashed turnip, cabbage, sage and onion stuffing, onion gravy, and a giant Yorkshire pudding

>As she got on in age, she started to get a bit forgetful and more unsteady on her feet, so we gradually took over the responsibility of cooking to try to help her out
>Her forgetfulness was never really an issue to begin with
>She'd do something weird, then snap out of it and be like "That's not right, what the bloody hell am I doing?" and fix it

>One week she insists on doing the dinner
>We object but eventually give in
>The family heads over to her house and hangs out in the living room while she cooks as is tradition
>She's worse than ever
>We offer to help, but she gets annoyed and tells us to leave her alone so she can cook
>We watch as she puts a bowl of cold batter into the cold oven and stands there, staring blankly into space for 30 minutes before taking it back out
>The oven didn't even get turned on until the last 20 minutes

>Eventually we're called to the table and she starts to serve up
>The chicken is still raw on the inside because it only got 20 minutes of heat
>The mashed potato would've come out the same if you lobbed raw potatoes at passing cars and scooped up the result
