These are more categories than favorite foods - does that count? Seafood and Ice Cream Diet! I don’t know if I can narrow it down any more than that. Salmon and Tin Roof Sundae? Crab Legs and Rocky Road? Lobster and Peach? I just can’t do it!!! ---

> [@Si\_Amigo](#): > > Surf and Turf diet. Also known as carnivore diet. Love steak, pork chops, lamb, shrimp, lobster, scallops, salmon, tuna and swordfish to mention just a few. Replace lamb with ham and that’s me. But to stick to the rules: Steak and Crab diet. Before all the diabetes, I’d add rice somehow. It’s the Puerto Rican in me. ---

Two favorite foods would be tough… and the emphasis is on favorite, not frequently eaten, affordable, or healthy… Probably the Duck Baguette diet then. And yes, I’ve had both at the same time. And leftover duck fat on leftover baguette the next day. Aaaaand now I’m trying to justify buying some duck. Crap. Well, it’s cheaper than beef still. ---

The borek and curry diet. It was all very simple until @Dung_Beetle mentioned peanuts. So now… no, it’s still borek and curry. I think. j ---

> [@iiandyiiii](#): > > The jeyuk and nihari diet. > > Also known as the Korean spicy stir fried pork and Pakistani beef curry die Aw, man, nihari is one of my favorite things ever. And pretty much the only dish I use “long pepper” with. Don’t know what else to do with that stuff. Just defrosted my last batch last week–need to make some more soon. The problem is as much as I love nihari or any other food, there literally is no food I could go for every day, at least not that specifically. About as specific as I could get is “protein and rice” or “protein and noodles” (more likely the latter), as it still gives me a lot of room for variety. Thai holy basil chicken noodles one day, beef goulash another day, dan dan noodles the next, etc. ---

My first thought was Eggnog Goulash, but after reading the comments I feel like cheese should be in there somewhere. One of my go-to Dad jokes is that when asked what I want to drink I say ‘eggnog’; it always elicits a delayed groan. But this year for Father’s Day my kids surprised me with homemade eggnog. We made it together which was quite fun.
