While I haven’t tried it, I’m pretty sure I could eat pizza for an extended period of time without tiring of it.
My go-to food that I never tire of is: saute some sliced onions in olive oil till they are starting to caramelize, add and cook more chopped veggies (peppers, zuchini, broccoli, tomatoes, or whatever) and some flavorings (Penzy’s Mural of Flavor, Bacon Salt, cumin, white pepper, garam masala, tarragon - whatever’s handy and I’m in the mood for), then a protein (cooked chopped chicken, red or black beans, maybe tofu).
Wrap in a flour tortilla, with a little cheese if desired, and eat with hot sauce on the side.
I’m pretty sure I could eat that forever, especially as the flavors and texture vary depending on what veggies and seasonings you use.
I could alternate those 2 meals every other day for the rest of my life and be happy. Both are delicious (IMO), plus extremely easy to make, extremely cheap, extremely filling, and extremely healthy.
For me, it’s usually a poached egg, scrambled egg, or runny egg cooked in butter over a slice of crispy buttered toast. Add salt and pepper, sometimes a little Tabasco sauce. Once in a blue moon, I’ll poach the egg in milk and pour the peppery, salty milk over the egg and toast.
I could have rice pilaf every night for dinner. That is, the pilaf I make myself at home. I always make a big batch and then freeze several dinner servings’ worth.
I make a strong stock from chicken Better Than Bouillon, and use that as the liquid. If I’m feeling ambitious, I’ll dice and add in assorted vegetables, like carrots, mushrooms, onions, and peas.
It goes with chicken dishes, steak, lamb shish kebab, everything. I never get tired of it.
Broken egg. Cracked into a pan with a little hot butter, just break the yolk. Let it cook on both sides (I like it cooked hard, not runny,). Top with a dash of hot sauce, and slice of cheese you like, serve on a piece of toast. Another piece of toast you might have on the side for ‘dessert’ is buttered, with jelly.
I like to make very large batches of chili and vegetable beef soup. Especially, in the winter when I can store it outside… I can (and do) eat them for dinner several days in a row.
Also, the first thing that popped into my mind when I read OP was eggs over easy with toast. But for a more substantial meal it has to be the chili or soup.
Variations on this theme (involving rice and vegetable additions) are known as “bowl o’meat” around our house, and are always welcome.
Hash browns are a breakfast staple. Pre-made hash brown patties roasted in the oven are good by themselves, dipped in egg yolk from fried eggs, accompanied by smoked salmon etc.
Pasta is a perennial go-to food.*
*I had an aunt who commented on my love of pasta with the patronizing remark, “Oh, children love spaghetti.”
I never liked her after that.
It’s an egg. On toast. It might be ‘meh’ but you can cook it to your own taste, put on other stuff. Better for you than eating a bag of Flaming Doritos or a sleeve of cookies.
Ditto on scrapple. Though I’m sure we’re in the minority. Most people I know have never heard of it and I can only find it in one store in the Midwest and it’s not very good. Maybe good for my health that I can’t conveniently eat a pound a day like when I was back home.
You know what else scrapple is good for? putting it on that “egg on toast” everyone keeps mentioning. Though (with or without scrapple or any other breakfast meat) I’d much prefer an egg sandwich (toast, biscuit, muffin, bagel, whatever) with meat and cheese.
Yeah, if we expanded “egg on toast” to egg and any kind of bread with other toppings, you could have like millions of combinations and I could eat that every day all the time. Eggs a few different ways. bacon, sausage, scrapple, corned beef hash, ham, salmon. Various cheeses. Sauces. Any bread, sweet and/or savory. “Keto” style with no bread at all (I’ve used eggs as the “bread”). Tomatoes, onions, hash browns, whatever.
We eat scrapple on the weekends. Shout out to Publix of North Florida!
However, I do usually have to explain it to the cashiers.
“What…is this?”
“Oh, it’s Yankee food. You slice it up and fry it for breakfast.”
“What is it though?”
“Well, it’s like corn meal mixed with scraps of whatever meat wasn’t approved for dog food. Delicious!”
