Meal: The meal on the train as Katniss, Peeta, Haymitch, and Effie return to the Capitol from District 12 in The Hunger Games.
The meal, despite being huge and rich, is horribly uncomfortable and awkward. Katniss and Peeta have a complicated history with food (he fed her once while she was starving), and hence are not very comfortable around each other. Haymitch isn't comfortable for anyone, being a drunk. Effie makes the situation worse, because she is from the Capitol and is essentially and idiot, thinkin the Hunger Games are a wonderful thing, causing Katniss and Peeta to resent her. As Foster says, we as humans are really only comfortable with eating around people we know and trust, so putting four essential strangers with different personalities, lifestyles and beliefs in the same train car full of food is not about to be pleasant.
