I’m torn. There’s pulled pork BBQ from any number of places across central and eastern NC. There’s carrot cake. Also, if they could make a non alcoholic beer that tasted like Heavy Seas Loose Cannon I’d lap it up. ---

> [@Aspenglow](#): > > I think you just hit my choice. So long as it’s the real stuff from Boudin Bakery in San Francisco. The rounds. The ACME bread company in the Ferry building might be even better. But yeah, I withdraw my earlier choice and go for good fresh sourdough bread with butter. ---

I spent years trying to create a decent facsimile of Boudin’s sourdough. The first thing you learn when you get serious about baking sourdough bread is that no matter what starter kit you may choose, within weeks, that yeast is going to be replaced with yeast from your locale and won’t be anything like what you ordered. So I never bothered to use any commercial starter. I just captured my own yeast and went from there. I eventually learned to make pretty good sourdough bread. But not like Boudin’s. Which is why it is my choice for this thread: I can’t replicate it. It’s one-of-a-kind. And I could eat lots of it! ---

We’re not constrained to eating the repeat item _exclusively_ are we? I took it to mean we had an unlimited, consequence-free supply of a specific item, but could eat other stuff as normal, right? ---

Not really related but kind of I’d go with smoking. Even though I have never smoked and find the habit disgusting, watching old movies such as Casablanca make it look cool. If it was no worse than chewing gum, I’d be puffing away. ---

Yep. Just a food, drink, ingredient that comes to your house whenever you want it. Don’t have to eat it every day. Don’t have to eat it exclusively. ---

Color me skeptical that chancaca is some kind of nutritional superfood, as implied in the linked article. While it may retain “more natural nutrients (whatever those are) and minerals” than refined sugar, it’s questionable the difference amounts to enough to make it more “wholesome”. While I can’t readily find a detailed nutritional analysis of the stuff, I did locate [additional superfood hype](https://www.nativeroutes.com/products/sugar-chancaca.php), including the following: _–Whole sugar prevents tooth decay. --Constipation (in babies), which is veery frequent with white sugar, disappears. –Natural high energy replacement. –Prevents nutritious anemia. –Whole sugar prevents rickets. –Thrush or aphthae rarely returns. --Children are more lively and full of vitality._ Um yeah, surrrre.\* Sounds a lot like bogus claims made for Himalayan salt. \*intriguing that chancaca is “non-centrifugal” though - unless that’s merely spin. ---

If it were consequence free, I’d have a chocolate kiss in my mouth at just about every waking moment. Especially when I’m drinking coffee, the heat helps the chocolate just melt in my mouth and it is luxurious. ---

Well, egg nog would be on the list. I also really like liverwurst sandwiches with Miracle Whip and a glass of chocolate milk. And the Iranian dish, keshmesh pollo, with lots of lentils and raisins.
