Depression Meals

[Anonymous No.12723479]

What's the worst "depression meal" you've ever made and eaten?

I woke up at 3am only to wrap a cold Kraft Single around a shitty cheap hot dog, cold, and eat it. I hate my life.

When I was a kid living with my schizo father I once unwrapped a stick of butter and covered it in sugar. Ate about half before I got sick

More recently just Munching on cold cans of pork and beans at work alone in my car too ashamed because I didn’t have anything else to eat in my house

Flour mixed with oil in a pan without oil. Poverty flatbread and when you're hungry It's quite filling.

Not so much depression meal but my binging gets out of control and I can go $20 at in n out and $20 at jack in the box then $20 at BK in an hour on a bad run (5'9" manlet 160lbs 10% bf)

Also in deep poverty mode at restaurants eating the food leftover from customers even with the bites and shit

But finding food on the ground in bags like a cold half eaten bk chicken sandwich as just one example and eating it no shame is probably the most distasteful to normies

abusive mother would never cook in my teen years and only buy the same food from the store and all of it was what a fat woman who eat to try to lose weight in the 70s/80s (chex cereal, diet coke, low fat salami pre sliced, frozen pizza, iceberg lettuce, cheap canned soup with no vegetables)

growing teen, am literally mildly starving

begin binge eating anything extra like the very few snack packs my mother would seldom buy (and if I ate any I got in trouble even though they were for me)
developed eating disorder

so the depression meal during that time was Twice Tasted Snack Packs and Handfuls of Sugar and Diet Soda (eaten like a ravenous animal then puked back up)

i've had this thread open for a long while and I honestly couldn't think of anything
my standards are too open to consider something like a condiment sandwich bad just because of what it is, you can make good condiment sandwiches, if you have a bad one it's because you didn't do it properly.
I could probably make a whole cook book full of the shit i've eaten and enjoyed, you can stomach just about anything when you have nothing though

but I think the one that I've had the most of, and felt the worst while doing, is my hobo eggs.
cooked 12 eggs at a time, these are usually considered unseasoned, though its possible, i'll get back on that later, i'd demonstrate and take pictures but im lacking a key ingredient.
for this recipe you need
>1 carton of eggs
>1 paper bag, liquor bags or small paper lunch bags work the best
>tinfoil
>sticks or newspapers and cardboard, just anything flammable that burns relatively clean and isn't poisonous

first step, wrap all eggs in tinfoil, the reason we do this isn't to prevent smoke or anything, the eggs often crack or explode because of the airpocket in eggs.
though it does stop the flames from directly touching it, it's just far easier for removal later.
step 2, put the eggs back inside the carton, you may have trouble if you used too much tinfoil, don't worry, you get better at it.
step 3, close the carton, no need for passerbys to see and question your actions.
step 4, layer some easily ignitable but soft things like grasses or newspaper on the bottom, put harder things like sticks on the outside
step 5, put the carton in the bag.
step 6, fill the gaps
ignite

the end result is a pile of ash covered eggs that take on the flavour of the smoke

it's possible to during step 3 and 4 apply things that would season the eggs, things mulberries inside the carton with green apple wood below would be considered high tier, smearing the eggs during step 1 with peanut butter before burning would be considered god tier.
experiment.

I don't know what a depression meal means, from your description it's to mean you're depressed, when I was depressed my meals consisted of whiskey neat.
If you mean economic depression, maybe make some watered down bone broth soup with some noodles and eat directly from a tin bowl.

My childhood depressed meal was after school one day, a month old 1/4 box of grape nuts mixed with a half full container of cool whip. I thought it would be like cereal but cool whip just tastes like butter after a few bites. Even as a kid i knew it was fucked up that i had to fend for myself so often with zero components or cooking knowledge.

Depressed meal. Pizza Boli's had a 2 for 10 large deal. I would order two large white pizzas, then eat either half or a whole one. I'd leave the other one out at room temperature in arm's reach of my bed and slowly eat the rest of the slices over a couple of days. After the pizza was all gone, I'd get out of bed and repeat the process. Occasionally, I'd get a 4 piece of Royal Farms fried chicken and potato wedges at midnight to get some variety.

This went on for half a year.

My grandma did this too. She wasnt fat and lived to 90. But she grew up very poor (born during great depression and then had to live through ww2 in europe) and developed a taste for cheap food that they spruced up to make it edible. She also would purposely leave her donuts out until they were stale and dip them in hot water to eat because that's how she preferred to have them after a life of dumpster diving.

Dipped tortilla shells in sour cream

Mac and cheese with single slices of cheese and stale noodles and a little water

Candy stolen from dollar store

Stale potato chips from a dumpster

Day old lukewarm chicken sandwiches

Stale pizza left on counter a week

Stolen coworkers lunches from work. So many Mexicans worked there I'd have like 13 different types of enchiladas.

Peanut butter and pickle sandwiches multiple times a week because all I could afford was bread and a big jar of pickles.

During the worst of my depression I was living in a college dorm that had a convenience store run by the school. Once a day, sometimes once every two days if I couldn't force myself to move before the place closed for the night, I would use my meal plan to get a banana, an individual pack of chips, and a wrap sandwich with whatever vegetables they still had in stock that day. On a good day I'd have spinach, cucumber, green peppers, banana peppers, and olives. Chips and sandwich for dinner, banana for breakfast.

1) see a doctor, actual loss of taste can indicate nasal or even neurological problems
2) eat simpler foods for a while, to sort of "reset" what your mouth considers normal

When I was little I would love eating a frozen stick of butter like a popsicle. Sometimes when my mom didn't have time to pack me lunch I would throw a stick of butter in my lunchbox, which explains a lot of the bullying and beatings at school. I would also eat plain mayonnaise by the spoonful. My father worked from home but he never fed us, he was bipolar and narcissistic. I somehow hid the habit from my mom for quite some time, and I wasn't able enjoy her amazing Georgian dishes because I was stuffed with butter. Somehow I was still a skinny kid!

Besides obscene amounts of fat, I would also eat tons of instant ramen and cambells tomato soup as a sad little kid, barely able to reach the stove.

I would grab four slices of bread and pile on all kinds of salad bar foods on them to make a sandwich then drizzle on some sauce. They were tasty but I was always hungry and would have eaten more, I just didn't have the time. I did nothing but go there and go back to my apartment. Even though I put on all kinds of stuff on my sandwiches I lost 30 pounds in a month. Towards the end I started to feel very "off."

It took until the end of the month to get my money and then I was able to move onto something else. It was some bullshit schedule thing, I was supposed to get money more regularly so by the end of the month I was actually edging into starving.

>toaster pastries (generic, cheap poptarts)
>tub of chunky peanut butter
>gallon of milk
When I was very sad and had a case of what I like to call the fuck-its, I would take 2 pastries, either brown sugar, strawberry, or chocolate filled, and sandwich a huge wad of peanut butter between them. I would make 6 peanut butter-poptart sandwiches out of this and then pour a gallon of milk into a pitcher. Then I would take each sandwich and soak it in the milk for 30 seconds to a minute so it slid down real easy. Afterwards, I'd chug down half the gallon of milk. Strawberry pastries were my favorite because they reminded me of the peanut butter jelly sandwiches mom used to make me. Each "sandwich" was probably 1000 calories (200*2 for pastries, 600 in PB), so 6000 calories right there. The half gallon of milk was about 1100 calories I think. I'd work on the other half over the next hour. In total, this snack was about 8200 calories. The worst part is, there was one day I had a big Carl's Jr breakfast meal and later that day had the peanutbutter poptart sandwiches. Over 10,000 calories for sure.

I stopped doing this when 30 minutes after eating them, I got pins and needles in my feet and hands and my breath smelled sickly sweet for days afterward, no matter how much I brushed. Ketones in the breath or something like that. I was getting diabetic and stopped my reign of terror on my body. I'm still fat as fuck but I consume about 5-10% of the sugar I used to.

the place i used to work at had a bunch of people who would leave shit in the fridge and freezer, because of high turnover, or negligence. I used to eat other people's expired yogurt, and frozen stuff that was in there for longer than 2 weeks as i pleased.

Rice and beans cooked in an instant pot.

3 cups of rice
1 can of black beans
a slice of butter (margarine or oil works)
1 litre of water
2 boullion cubes of your choice

I've been eating this for almost 2 months now. I would cover it with either sardines with tomato sauce, eggs and soy sauce, or just leftovers ontop.

I remember eating this at home 6 months ago after finalizing a plan to pay off my outstanding debt; this is going to be my life for the few years. Its really painful. I would fast and take on extra side work just to avoid eating out.

Dunno. I've made quite a few...

*Yoghurt straight from the tub (I like yoghurt and eat it every day don't ask) without an eating utensil plus baby carrots no plate or anything
*Store-bought tortilla with hot butter, brown sugar, maybe some other things spread over it rolled up and eaten like a pseudo cinnamon roll (or not doing that and just eating it as is without rolling)
*Whole milk drank straight from the jug and then eating a bunch of carrots with unbuttered toast
*various experiments with soups that I wish I could remember better
*Straight-up fried egg with generic Southeast Asian sauces that ought to be used for actual Southeast Asia dishes
Probably others. I'll have to think.

i used to eat toasted bread with mustard and salt. I had to leave the house, wait in a line outside the bakery for like one hour to get some. I'll bought for 2 or 3 days. The mustard was already in the fridge. Also season fruits like mango that were ridiculously cheap back then. I gave half of all this to my dog since I didn't had enough money for dog food. One day eating noticed mangos had some fruit maggots in it, took off as many as i could and ate anyways. I lived like this for a couple months. Doggo and I managed to survive tho. Miss him

Once all I had in my apartment was oats and dry protein powder. I microwaved the oats with water and since I didnt have milk, tried to use a whey-and-water protein shake as a substitute.
It was not good.

Also, the protein powder was in the apartment when I moved in. 3 years prior.

[Anonymous No.12745773]

I mean, I do this any time I eat oats now because of getting /fit/ but my whey protein is chocolate flavored and not 3 years old. So it tastes like a filling no-bake chocolate oatmeal cookie. Its good.

Was down deep last year for a few months, quit my job and had enough savings to do literally nothing every day if I wanted. Thinking back, it is amazing how my body adapted. I couldn’t stomach food so I’d wake up and drink coffee + craft beer then turn on a comfy movie and drink more beer until fell asleep on my couchbed - when I woke up, I’d just grab another beer and either repeat or go for a 3-4 mile run still tipsy. At my worst I was 112 lbs.

I once mixed cornstarch and water and cooked it like a pancake. I cried as I ate it in the living room of my 400sf apartment surrounded by the camel crush boxes, empty chunky monkey pints and Godfathers pizza boxes that I had blown through all my money on.

That was 15 years ago. I'm doing much better now.

Leftover rice with pickle juice dumped on top. Sometimes I'd put mayo on it. I barely ate anything else for a month until I lost twenty pounds and went all the way insane. I ended up in the psych ward after carving my neck open due to delusions.

I like how no one knows exactly how to define "depression food" so the thread becomes this beautiful cocktail of food made during economic depressions, food that is easy to make when someone feels like shit, food that realistically cheers people up and is actually healthy, binge food, lazy meals, cheap meals, contaminated meals, actual homeless person meals, starvation meals, as well as just generally bad meals.

[Anonymous No.12748980]

>>12748971
But then the best part is when somehow, someone posts something that just beautifully encompasses almost every definition of "depression meal" and that's not even the rarest post.

[Anonymous No.12749071]

>>12748971
A depression meal is something you make when you're just super fucking sad/depressed. You don't want to make the effort to do dishes, prep anything, cook anything, and eventually you run out of microwaveable goods and food that takes zero effort because you don't want to spend the fucking energy to make anything good because "you dont deserve it"

So it's just random shit you've put together or forced yourself to eat because you NEED something inside you. So you just throw together some stupid shit in the fridge/cabinets and eat it. I used to make white bread/mustard/cheese sandwhiches when I just couldnt force myself out of the house.

Yeah it’s a pretty solid mixture of some pretty depressing shit, most of it isn’t healthy though. If any of it was healthy it was only out of a lack of any effort or a lack of options.
