Anyway, my parents were always too busy to pack me a lunch, so inevitably I had to eat school "lunches"... I think we know what happens from there.

>>3267059

Oh christ.

I had a chicken patty sammich from school one time. The meat inside was tan; not dark meat, TAN. It was disgusting.

There is a restaurant on the outskirts of town. Very cozy sort of place, favored by local construction workers and farmers. I hate this place. I hate how it constantly smells of old people and vitamin E cream. I hate the folk art on the walls. I hate how their water tastes like it was drawn from a well and purified with iodine. Bust most of all I hate what happened when I ordered a bacon and cheese omelet.
I figured that would be too simple for anyone to fuck up. I assumed I'd get some nice cheddar, maybe some swiss. What I got was this: overcooked, rubbery egg patty folded in half. Rather than crumbling the bacon and mixing it into the eggs, they stuck three limp pieces in the middle. And on top there were two greasy, slightly melted slices of american cheese. Fucking inedible.

buy a sandwich

eat in some corner

drops the sandwich into the drain.

eating canned corn for days.

and white potatoes

Banquet dinners are really sad, but Hungry Man is sadder on planes of existence that Banquet will never, ever achieve.

i like to indulge in banquet dinners on some nights after a rough day at work

and then top it off with aloe vera imported tea. and watch cheesy movies like friends with benefits.

The only thing sadder than the look on my face upon seeing banquet meals in my freezer, is trying to eat those god awful things.

lol, like when you can never microwave the mass of mashed potato properly

always tastes like ice

Had prime rib at Lawry's in Beverly Hills the other day and the broccoli on the side was not quite as crisp as I would have liked.

Back when I was a dumbass junkie and stole cash from my friends I survived completely on double dozen boxes of eggs from wal mart and tap water. I lost around 50 lbs over the course of a summer on the egg and tap water diet. I didn't even eat fast food or canned shit or tv dinners. Couldn't eat eggs for a year after that.

>>3267184
Oh man, that's rich. Fuckin poorfags man. Thanks for the laugh.

-Richfag

>>3267201

i am for now. i managed to get food stamps. turns out my poor ass qualified for it for like a whole year.

i also reluctantly quit smoking, as i realized i would buy smokes in favor of food.

fun fact: at the blood donating place, if you check off "i have done sexual things with another man after 1978" then you can't donate blood. ever. lolwut?

>>3267211

I'm beginning to think 4chan is really just a front for a massive cock-loving cult.

>>3267222

i didn't say i was gay brosef, i'm not. i'm pointing out the hilarious fact that fags can't donate blood ever, because they are fags.

On my birthday in 2006, I didn't have any money and nothing to eat. I had already eaten every morsel in my tiny as fuck apartment. My family lived out of state as did my close friends. I sat alone and went hungry for the next three days until I found a cash paying job. I worked all day, made $120 and chowed down at a chinese buffet.

>>3267048
This is better than most of my meals.

Multiple vegetables.... mmmm.

>>3267184

Looks tasty, but I would have added cheese.

>>3267211
Yeah, I laughed at that shit first time I donated. Seems like there should be a law against that. Seems like blatant discrimination to me. Ought to be a rule keeping niggerblood out of those places, imo.

>>3267209
>-Richfag

Um-hum.

>>3267241

even shit tier american cheese was too expensive for me. and i agree completely

>>3267228

What's even more hilarious is how many people die because they can't get blood because of that.

33 cent ramen X3
cooked in
59 cent tomato soup X2
plus 59 cent can of corn X1
salt, pepper

= $2.77 for 2-3 meals

>>3267253
Why would people die front blood shortage? In an emergency, they would simply pay more. Nurses and shit would begin donating themselves. Nobody dies because "oops we ran out of blood."

>>3267245

my friend who was a phlebotomist (spelling) actually told me something you'll like:

niggerblood, when donated, actually gets labeled differently before being stored. it's due to something about their bodies evolving slightly different due to living in shithole places of the world with malaria and whatnot, and thus they have some sort of different aspect of their blood going on. still compatible with white peoples i think, but needs to be labeled differently so doctors know before they give it to someone. if yr interested im sure you can google all the details i just cant recall right now

>>3267261

Believe that if it makes you feel better.

I lived off a $90 a month food budget for two years. Bulk chicken breast, bulk rice and gallon jugs of salsa. A dozen eggs and a loaf of bread were a dollar each so I was able to change up the menu occasionally. The VA hospital paid for multi vitamins so I could at least remain somewhat healthy.

I went from 180lbs down to 130lbs in that stretch of time. Now, I have an income and I got fat (190lbs) from eating everything I could never enjoy before.

>>3267265
Show me some documentation about people in America dieing from a blood shortage.

>>3267267
>dieing

>>3267273
herp dying

so you can't then? As I said, blood never becomes unavailable, it just becomes more expensive.

>>3267261

actually getting paid to give blood is illegal i believe. what i and others are actually discussing is plasma donation. you can get paid for that, because the plasma is used for commercial purposes. cosmetics, all kinds of weird shit. some girl right now might have my blood on her eyes or lips or some shit. lololo

>>3267266
>tfw combat veterans come home to no job and begin starving

>>3267274


blood expires, fyi.
when 9/11 happened, tons and tons of people started donating, because they thought there was going to be a shortage. there wasn't obviously.

>they all just died

>>3267277

I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free...

>>3267274
I'm a paramedic. When I worked in the ER of a children's hospital, we came pretty close to running out of certain types of blood when there were large multi vehicle accidents. And when you need it right then and there, that helicopter flight from Dallas to Fort Worth seems like na eternity.

There is absolutely a risk of running out of blood.

>be hungry as fuck
>look in fridge to find something to munch on
>see gigantic bag of salad (basically just lettuce)
>eat like 3 bowls of that shit with a little ranch 'cause it fucking takes that much to get full

Was pretty shitty...

>>3267283

prolly just ran outta niggerblood. no big deal, imo.

Yesterday my wife used up a pack of 6 dinner rolls to make us dinner, almost stale, but she was going to toast them.

She cut them all in half.
Put pizza sauce, mushrooms and cheese on half of them
The others were pizza sauce, crushed garlic and cheese.

She said it looked pretty lame for dinner.

I saw it as "Oh... My.. God... you made mini pizza rolls!?!?!? AWESOME!"

We're being watchful of money with so many expenses at Christmas... and our TV dying doesn't help.

Using up food than rather than have it go to waste, all good in the hood.

>>3267283
poor management. hopefully in the future they'll incentivize their donation program better.

>>3267290

But the problem is that "incentivizing" might cut into the profits, so there is hesitation.

>>3267290
You can't simply store large amounts of blood. It goes bad.

Back when I used to live in California (central, near Yosemite for those that care) I would travel to the coast every few months.

I was really disappointed to join the family for Thanksgiving only to find out they wanted to do buffet at the country club. Sure, a plate of turkey, lobster and filet is good, but that's not Thanksgiving.

Ate a 711 hotdog on thanksgiving after ex stood me up.
It was cold, i was cold, that hotdog was all i could relate to.

>>3267441

I wouldn't mind a 7-11 hotdog about now. With ketchup, mustard, and onions.

>>3267289
how were they, because they sound delicious

>>3267048

How does this happen, you know if you have no job you get like 200 in Foodshare a month...

>>3267459
Sounds like somebody knows their foodstamp rules verrrry well....

When I first moved out on my own I got bachelor-shock like no other and was slammed with homesickness. Spaghetti & meatballs was the first meal I cooked in my new place. I've never really cooked for myself before but the meal turned out well, so I was happy for one of the first times since I moved out.

...That all went to hell when I took one bite and said to myelf, "...But it's not -mom's- spaghetti..." and cried like a bitch as I continued to fork the food into my mouth.

>>3267184
Ketchup on a hotdog... that IS sad.

>>3267513

Yawn.

>>3267513
no, that IS normal

>>3267496
When you go back home, ask her to make it for you. When she does, learn from her just so you can make it, just like mom.

The saddest meal I ever ate was when I had just moved out on the countryside. It was summer holidays, campus in the middle of nowhere.
I thought I could just call for some takeaway or something..

It turned out that there were no takeaway places. I were all alone.

I looked through my boxes and found a couple of packets of rice noodles. I also had a crate of beer.

So I drank a shitload of beer (liquid bread, amIrite?) and ate shitty boring rice noodles with no seasoning.
I did that the whole weekend until the buses began running again. I must have looked like shit that monday.

I went to Berlin last year and it was queer central, I seriously doubt there's gonna be any fascist uprisings, just fashion uprisings. Darling.

I once had nothing to eat and no money because I'd spent it on booze so I stole a Kendal mint cake because I heard they were eaten by arctic explorers so it would fill me up for the day.

Also check out this "lime" pickle.

>>3267814

I like you schweine so I'm going to correct you so you know better in the future. lime pickle is a pretty normal condiment in indian food. it's delicious too, you should try it.

That was banquet my friend... Ive had it before, it was depressing, tho still more edible than anything they have with frozen potatoes in it.

>>3267266
I know that feel, bro. I survived on about $20 a week for food for about a year. Beans, mirepoix, and rice will provide all the nutrients a body needs to get by and counts as a complete protean. I went from 210 down to about 270 in that time.

3 years later, I am back up to about 190. It sure is nice to be able to afford tasty food again. I did get really good at my beans and rice though.

This thread reminds me why i always keep rice and black beans in the house.

Hell Ive had emergency stores of food i havnt had to use for 10 years now.

stay at friend's house after heavy night out

woke up, hungover as shit. roughly around 12 am. hoping for delicious breakfast (his parents run a B&B)

mother comes out with crappy dry-arse roast (I think) beef, barely mashed mash potatoes (lumpy as fuck with no butter) and fucking cabbage (my least favourite food of all time OF ALL TIME). had some gravy but it was like fucking water. HAD to eat it obviously (a free dinner in a B&B), with roaring compliments!! ugh

Be little and sick at Grandma/Grandpa's. Gran was sleeping so Pop made me lunch. I made a sad face, cause I really wanted Gran's chicken soup. Anyways the grilled cheese catches fire.
Yes.
Cause Pop forgot to take off the wrapping. In his panic, the gas burners were turned higher instead of off, which caused his towl (to fan the smoke) to catch fire too. He flung it backwards, and it landed on little me's slippers..yes catching them on fire.
Nobody got hurt, but always panicked when Pop wanted to cook.

Man, this thread is strangely motivating

Once a long time ago, my brother and I were so broke that instead of ramen, over the course of 3 days, I ate a theater sized bag of pre-popped popcorn. Had husks in between my teeth for weeks. Horrible shits.

My current apartment doesn't have a real kitchen, so I'm living off of ramen and pizza. I recently got some bagels so I have some decent breakfast though. Also filling the hunger with Christmas cookies my parents sent me. I can't wait to move into a different apartment with a real kitchen.. ;_;

I am perfectly amazed with the number of people here who have internet yet have problems paying for food.

The saddest food I ever ate in my life was the following: a couple of years ago I was working in Lisbon and I was very alone. One night per week I used to go to this chinese buffet where you could eat whatever you wanted for €10.

Of course not. But if you think ahead a little bit and realize that you're living paycheck-to-paycheck you probably ought not to be having luxury expenses like internet. Personally I wouldn't even think about paying for internet service unless I could afford my food budget AND had saved up some money in the bank just in case things got tough.

the chocolate milk in my elementary school was God-tier. everything else sucked (except pb&j sandwiches)

pizza tasted like someone slopped on cheese on top of cardboard

butter rolls are awesome

>>3270819

It was likely two slices of whitebread with butter in between because that's all they could afford to send. I feel sorry for them, kids are cruel as fuck to kids who bring their lunch and have non brand name shit.

>>3270788
Awww that made me so sad

We had baked potatoes once a week and my friend had a dead maggot in one of them. Took a pic of it, nobody ever ate potatoes again.

Drinking to avoid a hangover

Yes! We have lots of chinese emigrants and chinese restaurants are everywhere. They are quite cheap so it's mainly people with low budgets who go there!

>>3270924
Oh. Never heard that term before.

>>3270928
i lived north of Torres Vedras and the only asians i ever saw were the ones working in cheap clothing or gift shops, never saw a chinese restaurant though. are they like the crappy ones in the United States?

If you're a student, you can't get foodstamps unless you have a job.

I had roughly $600 worth of expenses a month (rent, electricity, internet, gas, etc.) and absolutely no way of paying it. I'd been borrowing money from my mom while I looked for a job, but then my mom lost her job, so there was no money coming in.

So, I go to apply for foodstamps.

The nice lady tells me, that unless you have a 20 hour a week, minimum, job as a student, you cannot get foodstamps.

Or if you have a baby.

So, I went back to eating peanut butter sandwiches every day. Still no job, nearly five months later, but I'm still looking.

>>3270983

>>Or if you have a baby.
Ugh.

>>3267184
I donate blood anyways whenever I can, I didn't know you get money for it in America?? Is this the only country that does this? I'd totally sell my plasma.

>>3270983
well son, looks like you gotta get your mom preggers.

>>3270999

Well, it was basically "If you have a dependent," which basically means a baby. Or like, if you were taking care of a relative who was unable to care for themselves.

I'd like to tell you all a story. I don't have a picture, as this was a good many years ago now. I used to eat pretty healthy. I liked to eat a lot of shredded wheat with skim milk and a banana. Not frosted mini wheats, mind you, but the big straw pillows of cereal. I went to have my morning meal one day before class and cut my banana into the bowl, but when I went to the fridge for milk I found there was none. Determined to press on, i went to the sink and filled the bowl with water. Then to the cupboard, where I found there was no shredded wheat either. Bananas in water. The water was warm.

Cuttin' up hella laughs here.

>beans
>diced tomatoes
>ground turkey/chicken
>beans
>more beans
>choice of hot sauce/peppers

I'd like to tell you all a story so sit right there,
It's about a guy with no wheat but bananas to spare.
I used to eat pretty healthy, I liked to eat a lot of shredded wheat, with skim milk and a banana not frosted mini treats.
I went to have my morning meal one day,
before class cut my banana and I was away.
But when I went to the fridge for milk to be found,
there was none so H2O I was bound.
Then to the cupboard, where I found there was no wheat,
bananas in water oh what a treat!

>>3271438
LOL holy crap thats funny! whyd you even bother putting the water on the bananas, just plain banana wouldve probably been better.

Get a piece of candy from girl I like. Tear the wrapper. Throw candy into trash.

People can't eat dry frosted flakes?
The hell man?

During a snow storm last winter we lost power at my apartment. There was still some water but my stove is electric and would not work. So I literally just soaked rice in water and ate it. It of course was not fully softened and was terrible. No seasoning, nothing.

Now I keep baked beans in my cupboard incase that happens again I can have bean hobo style.

wake up start making coffee, pour a bowl of honey comb cereal, pour coffee instead of milk into cereal.... wtf!!! ehhh fuck it eat coffee cereal anyways with a cup of joe on the side

Alias give more or GTFO!

I yelled at the bus when it turned out the street,
the cramps in my side I thought I was beat.
I knew in my gut the acids where churning,
but I thought now forget it at least ill be learning.

I, pulled, up to school with a stomach of bananas,
WTF this is class why did I wear Havaianas?
Not would I know but is now apparently clear,
my bowels are of fluid with yellowish cheer.
I sat at the white throne as I could aquire,
and finally could do my accidental backfire.

Worst thing I ever tasted was something Sceak made.

The worst thing I ever ate were these frozen burritos. "Chicken" they said. Let me tell you right now, there was no meat in those things. Not even some artificial stuff with the texture of meat. It was some kind of liquified mess, I don't even know what to call it, but if they counted this sort of "gravy" as being "chicken", well, even that was a stretch. We threw them out and never bought them again.

Vegan cheese: don't try it.

>>3270955

I don't know how long ago that was but they are everywhere now.

I've never been to the US but yes, they are crappy!

>>3272258
>chili

Sounds better than any prison food I've had.
Sucks about the naked jumping jacks, though.

>>3267048
>yes there was...
Progun had a thread up the other day

Hakka (indian chinese) food is the worst shit on the face of the earth, super dry fried rice (always under cooked), everything is overseasoned you don't even need fresh ingredients if you're cooking that garbage...also it literally takes no skill to make which is another depressing part since most Chinese foods require timing, heat control and some knife work

>>3272262
yeah but try eating chili with a celery stick it ain't easy

My dad took an evening to show me how to make some basic things: scrambled eggs, toast, really basic chicken nuggets, pan-fried okra, roasted potatoes, a properly-built sandwich. I cooked most nights after that, or we had Chinese food.

Not so depressing, more ughh..Couple of months ago it was lunch time at school. Sitting around at the table and I was feeling kind of hungry, so I reached into my bag and found a cheese and bacon bun in my lunch box. [My mum packs my lunch :) ] Anyways I peel off the cling wrap without paying to much attention to the bun, but then when go to take a bite I notice some movement on the bun. I take a second look and see that bun is fucking COVERED in a mass of maggots. I'm not talking about a few maggots, that shit was infested. I re-covered the bun with the glad wrap while keeping myself from hurling all over the table and made a V line for the bin. Wasn't hungry after that I can tell you.

Ah, i remember those good old post chemo days when i could sleep 20hrs+ and still be tired.

>>3272435
Chemo sucks. I got cytoxan infusions once a month for half a year. It was the worst.

Every female in my family over the age of 30 has gotten breast cancer.
Can't wait for my turn! At least spending so much time with my mom while she had it means I sort of know what to expect.

>>3272440
I had lymphoma, but my uncle had breast cancer.
Yup. Uncle.

>>3272443
lolwut
You had lymphoma and lived to type about it? Can I have an internet high-five?

>>3272452
It's not that surprising; lots of people survive lymphoma. They caught mine super early, thankfully.
>the kidney damage, not so much
Thanks for the support, though!

I lived in the US for a while when I was a kid, more specifically in miami.
There was this fridge meal my mom used to buy, on regular markets I´m sure, it was a little package that came with round crackers, some sauce, some cheese and maybe something else and you were supposed to assemble them into little pizzas and take them to microwave or not if you didn´t want to, shit was delicious. anyone have any idea what I´m talking about?

>>3272534

I once saw a chubby asian woman at the grocery store. In her cart was about 20 banquet dinners and a huge package of toilet paper.

>>3272537
damn that was fast
I´m pretty sure there are variations to this, but the name lunchables sure seems familiar. are those still being sold? I´ll prolly get back to the US in a few months and will totally look for those if they´re still around, for the nostalgia

>>3272432

I'm laughing my fucking ass off, thanks for the link!

>>3272537
fuck yeah lunchables.

Those meals are better than 90% of any other premade store meals.

must be because the kids wont eat crap

kids cuisine tacos

god tier

>>3267175
I experienced this, except with Wonderbread and Cheez Whiz instead of eggs. I can still eat crusty bread or cheese bread but the spongy-ass bleach taste of Wondrbread still gags me. And I can't even be in the same room as Cheez Wiz
