The Revenge Meatloaf meme utilizes images of unappetizing or 'cursed' meatloaves—often shaped like feet, faces, or simply looking unidentifiable—to symbolize a dish served out of spite. It is frequently used in scenarios involving petty grievances, bad breakups, or situations where someone's request is met with the bare minimum of malicious compliance. The meme highlights the humor in the 'disgusting food' trope, where the visual repulsiveness of the meal represents the creator's lack of effort or active dislike for the recipient. It gained traction in online cooking and 'cursed image' communities as a way to visually represent the phrase 'revenge is a dish best served cold,' albeit in a much meatier and more unsettling form.
