Which is correct: "one tinned food" or "one tin of food"

also: Can I write: "The work was very pleasant" and "I had the bad luck" Should I use "the"

thanks

"One tin of food", though you better say something more secific: a tin of beans for example...

"Tinned beans" is also ok to me.

"The work was very pleasant"
I guess, yes.

"I had the bad luck"
Maybe something like: "I had bad luck"? Without "the", I mean.
