This is a hypothetical. No harm to your body or lifespan whatsoever will be done. What’s the first thing you go for? When you’re sick of it, you can go to something else, of course, so that’s not a factor either. ---

Ice cream. Also, braised-pork rice. If cooked right, it’s marvelous. ---

Shellfish. Perfectly steamed whole Maine lobsters. Delectable dungeness crab. King crab legs as long as my forearm. Sweet plump semi-translucent jumbo shrimp. Big bowl of lime wedges. Maybe a small bowl of melted butter (optional). Steamed asparagus to dip into the lobster tomalley-- it’s like lobster-flavored butter! …and a big cooler of beer to wash it all down. Something not too heavy that would complement the seafood-- Becks or Grolsch maybe. ---

Cadburys have recently released a chocolate bar which contains biscuity bits and banana flavour candy chunks. Sounds kinda disgusting. Is the most addictive thing I’ve ever eaten, can easily munch through a 250g bar and consider immediately beginning another. I’m careful about what I eat, but it goes completely out of the window with this stuff. Also pizza. And N’duja sausage. ---

Bacon club from August 1st, Burlington, VT. There is like a half pound of local farm sourced bacon on that thing. And the fresh baked baguette, mmmm… ---

Hot, buttered toast. Crab, steamed, with drawn butter. Perfect mac n’ cheese with crispy bits from the edge of the pan. Rare steak with a touch of salt & pepper. (Damn, I’m starving now!) ---

Why is it that the crispy bits are nearly always the best bits of everything? That’s it, I’m changing my choice to “crispy bits”. ---

Drugs and alcohol honestly. The side effects of those can suck. As far as food, general tsos chicken. I could eat that everyday. ---
