'Bought a head of lettuce and ate it... over the sink': 25+ Single people admit the most uncool meals they've ever concocted

For single folks, "meal" is such a strong word. Making a "meal" requires time, effort, and possibly a stovetop. When you have a partner, you tend to want to make them beautiful meals with garnishes, or hearty meals that take hours to make (since it's a labor of love). When you're a single dude, though, all bets are off.

Any food is a meal if you believe in yourself. Lately, when I don't feel like cooking for my single self, I make "charcuterie dinner." It includes strawberries, pineapple, a tiny cheese wheel, some chips, and a pickle slice, among other items I can find in my pantry. There's no cooking involved at all. I arrange it in a pretty way on a plate, and voila: a meal of sorts, and I'm only a little embarrassed if my roommate witnesses it. I've gotten so lazy as to buy pre-cooked rice from the store, where it can go from freezer to microwave to plate in under five minutes. Does it taste like eating a plastic bag? Yes. Yes, it sure does. But is it a foodstuff that will propel me through writing this article for all our lovely readers? Yes, I would hope so.

Other singletons take it way further than I. They're pushing the boundaries: like, what is a plate, anyway? If you don't want to wash dishes, and you put all of your food on a tortilla so that you never have to wash a plate, is that acceptable? There are many other genius life hacks (or "single guy" meals to be specific) included below.

After you check out these funny meal stories, read about the funny food delivery instructions that had nothing to do with food, like one person who instructed, "Send a Virgo."
