A diet named after your 2 favorite foods

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!!!

The Cheesy Veggie diet works for me.

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.

The potato chip and cookies diet.

Mmm, i may join you in that diet.

Pizza and chili diet.

Cheesy bread
Or
Bacon and eggs

Healthy me
Blueberries and bananas
Or
Yogurt and granola

The jeyuk and nihari diet.

Also known as the Korean spicy stir fried pork and Pakistani beef curry diet.

The wine and peanuts diet.

The seafood and spinach diet

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.

Is this wine making me thirsty? Nope. Must be the pretzels.

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.

I had to look that up. It looks incredible!

It is. I am becoming increasingly obsessed with middle eastern foods.

ETA: aside - my love affair with borek goes back to an accidental encounter about 45 years ago (!)

Saki/kisses diet

I can’t possibly choose a second but kisses are certainly my first. I just love everything, damn it.

The Lasagna Burrito Diet.

Sounds extremely carb-y to me.

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.
