Forget about the traditional turkey this Thanksgiving—everyone is buzzing about “revenge meatloaf.”
Growing up LGBTQ can be tough, especially in an environment where discrimination is still prevalent, and lacking a supportive family makes it even more challenging. This is precisely why one courageous teen decided to turn the tables on their abusive mother by revealing her secret meatloaf recipe online, dubbing it “revenge meatloaf.”
“I loved my mom’s meatloaf when I was a kid,” the anonymous teen recounted in a Tumblr post. “I was convinced no one else could make it as good as she did. She promised to teach me how to make it when I was older. Finally, at 19, she shared the recipe but made me promise to keep it a secret. I thought that was odd, but whatever.”
A cherished family recipe, it seemed, until the teen added, “But she was incredibly homophobic and abusive when I came out, so here’s the recipe.”
What followed was a surprisingly delectable meatloaf recipe. Even those who aren’t meatloaf fans are intrigued—perhaps the allure of revenge is what has so many people hungry to try it.
Originally posted on Tumblr, a mother of a different LGBTQ teen shared a screenshot on Twitter, where it quickly gained traction. The response has been so overwhelming that many people are ditching their turkey plans for this festive season in favor of trying out the revenge loaf.
Even those who don’t eat meat are considering making it, all in solidarity with the teen who bravely shared their story. In a world where homophobic and abusive parents face far worse consequences, having their secret meatloaf recipe exposed online feels like a fitting, harmless retribution. Plus, it’s a wonderful way for the community to rally around a kid who truly deserves support.
As Thanksgiving approaches, we hope this brave teen finds themselves surrounded by love and happiness, enjoying a slice of that delicious meatloaf.
