I often make the claim that I could eat food, only, for the rest of my life. While this is certainly hyperbole on my part, I think it raises an interesting question. What one food (or meal, since some foods go really well together) do you think you could happily eat for the rest of your life?
I have a few: [ul]
[li]spaetzle[/li][li]goulash[/li][li]fried rice (of any ethnic origin)[/li][li]sushi[/li][/ul]
that’s easy: kraft dinner (“mac-n-cheese” for you americans)
i actually bet a girlfriend $100 once that she couldn’t eat a box of this every day for a month. she could split it up throughout the day, and mix it into any recipe/format she wanted, so long as she consumed one box every day.
within a week she was “shitting funny” and “feeling generally like poo” but she lasted 3 weeks before she finally caved.
barring KD, i could eat any of a lot of meals indefinetely, provided i had a supply of hot sauces to go along with it.
Lasagna (all four food groups represented)
Italian cold cut subs (also all four food groups)
Gyros
Jambalaya
Baby back ribs with fries, baked beans, cole slaw, and garlic bread
Sushi
Chicken Parm Subs. Plenty Tasty, Plenty of Protein and some vitamins.
I sure there must be a dish that would cover the basic RDA’s. perhaps living on Total. I just don’t think it would be enjoyable day after day.
I could eat pasta every day and be happy.
I’d be boring and practical. I suspect there’s no meal out there I wouldn’t get horribly sick of, so I’d choose something healthy and unassuming, like marinated grilled chicken, lightly steamed vegetables and brown rice.
Breakfast: country ham, eggs, flax-meal toast, coffee.
(Do the eggs have to be done the same way every morning?)
Lunch: Caesar salad, shave parmesan, freshly stale French-bread croutons, pan-broiled jumbo shrimp on top, brewed unsweetened iced tea.
Cocktail hour: Grey Goose martini, very very dry, up with a twist. Just one, but in a big full glass.
Dinner: Sirloin medium rare (slightly charred on the outside), spinach salad with hot bacon-onion dressing, sautéed haricots verts, lightly steamed broccoli, Rex Goliath California merlot, local sparkling mineral water.
Dessert: Zabaglione alla Splenda with fresh local strawberries, coffee.
For clothes, give me one white buttondown oxford shirt, one pair of khaki pants (no cuffs), one all-weather-weight blue blazer (3-button, top roll), and one pair of Sebago cordovan slipons. If I must wear a tie, silk knit, square-ended, any color that works with the above.
Pizza
Sushi
No problem. 
sounds like the pad dinner at casa-de-Phlosphr
Thai curry with chicken and lots of vegetables.
That’d do me.
I think a pizza with everything might work for me, too.
Andy is that you??? This sounds like a collegue of mine.
Chicken Caesar salad. With the parmesan cheese and croutons it should cover all the food groups. right? Plus, it’s salad, so it’s good for you. 
Hot wings. And beer. Is beer a food?
Oh and I’d like breaded boneless chicken thighs, asparagus, couscous w/ pine nuts.
No Andys here.
Just for curiosity’s sake, Phl, what do you think of this colleague?
I’d probably choose cheese. Almost limitless room for variation of the diet.
Yup cheese and Stella Artois; a balanced diet.
Well, it’s a grain, so why not?
To add a drink to my list (in addition to my food), definitely margaritas. No salt, on the rocks, thank you. Ahh…
Breakfast: Cap’n Crunch
Lunch: Sub or deli style Turkey sandwich with bacon and avocado.
Dinner: Fried Chicken, rice and gravy, corn of the cob.
Or slightly healthier:
Breakfast: Honey Bunches of Oats
Lunch: Sub or deli style Turkey sandwich with bacon and avocado.
Dinner: Dinner Salad with garlic bread. At Casa de Stuffy a dinner salad contains Lettuce, Roma Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Cubed meat (Turkey, Ham or Chicken) cubed or shredded cheese, hard-boiled chopped egg, raisins or nuts (never both), croutons and dressing; I only use Bleu Cheese.
For one single food-type, I’d have to go with a cheesesteak sandwich.
Between Steak, Bread, Onions, Green peppers, hot peppers and cheese I’d figure I’d be getting a fair number of essential vitamins, and it still tastes damn good.
easy… Ramen Noodles,… in fact that IS all I eat! (sometimes without the bag of spices)
I would have said Goulash, but my late grandmother never left the recipe. That was the best recipe in the history of mankind. No Goulash could come close, and no one has yet to come forward with it’s equal.
