Why cook? Most delicious foods with no prep.

So, I was playing around with some finger foods and I put ready-to-eat sliced pepperoni on a slice of cheese. Wow, was it delicious.

Zero prep – basically just open up a package of sliced pepperoni and unwrap an individually wrapped cheese single for something that had no right being that tasty.

I had a baked sweet potato for dinner the other night. Okay, I had to turn on the oven and stick it in there for a little over an hour. And then split it open and add a bunch of butter. And ground some pepper over it.

But god bless america it was good.

Cholesterol & sodium wrapped in saturated fat, yum!

That’s the problem with zero-prep “food”. You don’t have to prep it because Hormel and Kraft have already prepped it for you.

But in general I agree, there are some tasty treats like twickster’s baker that require almost no effort. Unfortunately many people see any kind of cooking as a chore and won’t have anything to do with it.

I consider eggs to be yummy and nearly zero prep. Fire up the griddle and crack an egg onto it. You can flip it or scramable it right on the griddle and it’s done in 30 seconds.

Fruit in general.

If you have an esspresso machine good vanilla icecream with freshly brewed esspresso poured over the top.

Oysters. Shucked right at the oyster shack and devoured still twitching. 'Nuff said.

We love it with that chili con limon stuff from the Mexican aisle. But it’s a real pain in the ass to cut; any tips?

This is a constant favorite at our house. We go even further though and stack it on a cracker, and usually have olives as well.

Venison. Provided you strip naked, go out in the woods, chase down the deer on foot, break its neck with an improvised tree-bough club, and eat your fill immediately without using your hands. :slight_smile:
