It's a bright day in Spring. An hour drive north of me there are hundreds of people running 24 miles in an incredible feat of physical and mental endurance. Others are mowing their lawns, or perhaps running much needed errands with their free time.
Not this guy. Instead I woke up around 9:15, laid in bed for another hour or so, went on the internet, and spoke to my girlfriend, who is at work, before deciding to eat something. Now, I've been living alone for just over a year at this point, and I'm well familiar with the concept of independent adulthood in that nobody is around to stop you if you make a horrible, horrible decision like the following little number:

That's a piece of red velvet cake with butter cream frosting, a few strawberries (you know, we have to be concerned with health here) and a cup of coffee (to unstick chunks of food from my throat after I under-chew everything and down it in record time). The perspective is a bit skewed here, so let me just say that the cake is not a small piece. It's taking up a big chunk of the plate, it's probably over two inches thick at the end, and, well, those strawberries are lying in the shadow it's casting.
Let's say it's the day after your birthday. You just finished a weekend filled with wonderful friends and family to remind you how lucky you are. In such an instance, I cannot recommend highly enough the effects of such a breakfast on highlighting how much of an idiot you are and how quickly a potentially productive day can turn into several hours groaning on your couch.
So, let this thread be about the bad, bad decisions you made with food. Official-like.
Vindaloo for breakfast. :lulz:
Ouch.
Cheez-its.
I just stumbled out of my blood-soaked bed and am having a Swanson frozen dinner and a beer for breakfast. Fuck all of you, just because.

NO.
Things are weird enough down here without hearing fresh horror stories from Portland. :horrormirth:

One omlete with "cheese" and various fried veggies, (Who in FUCK fries carrots? Paul, that's who.) and a side of his sausage of dubious origin.

Far more mundane than you want to know about.
Top ramen and eggs for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
To be fair, they were different "flavors."
I once mixed teriyaki sauce, salmon, rice, soy sauce, and strawberry syrup.
Violent gastric convulsions.
Breakfast every day is bacon, fake scrambled eggs soaked in hot sauce, and either homefries or hash browns.
Every. Single. Day.
I don't know if I'm more disgusted with the habit, or the fact that I still find it tasty every single morning.
A while back, some friends brought cake to our weekly D&D session, and left it. It stayed in the fridge for about a month, and went bad 2 weeks before I stopped eating it and threw it away.
:lulz: Hooray for bad cake shits!

Yanno, I'm pretty sure cake ages better at room temp under plastic wrap.
Final word
Cake bell
Yeah, look that shit up. It will change your relationship with cake.

Not if the cake has filling made with real fruit and icing.
I had chicken tikka masala and potato-eggplant curry that I lovingly prepared for my lunch today. But because I was busy tending a booth all day it sat around in my pack for a and the eggplant's skin turned a curious shade of green, from the aluminum container it was in.
For the past three weeks I've consumed very little.
Coffee and beer mostly. Every now amd again some yogurt.
When I'm stressed I avoid eating until I start feeling like I'm going to fall over, and then just cram whatever is most conveinent into my face.
That combined with a general lack of funds/desire left me with a bag of habenero doritos, a carton of eggs, and a bottle of chile sauce.
The worst part is that even after the horrible, horrible reprucssions that followed I found myself repeating the same mistake for several days.
Maybe I was just trying to punish myself.
My horrible food decisions tend to be on the order of: eating a healthy breakfast, eating a very slight lunch, doing pretty good calorie-wise during dinner, and then at 10 pm, OMNOMCANDYCHIPSBEERTIMESATHOUSANDOMNOMfest.
