You can only eat one food for the rest of your life, what will it be?

r/

It has to be specific. Baked potato is not the same thing as fries or mashed potato, and if you choose baked potato the topping has to be exactly the same each time, for example. It will taste exactly the same, every single time. And it has to be a real dish, something you’ve had before.

No need to worry about health, this food will magically be a perfectly balanced diet, even if you choose a bag of lay’s bbq chips (no varying the flavor). You’ll never have to worry about being over or under weight, regardless of how much you consume. You also don’t need to do any food prep or dish washing.

For drinks you will only have water.

    Super Noodles. Preferably the pot variant. Probably the chicken flavoured one. I could eat just one per day.

    The beef pho from this little Vietnemese restaurant that used to be open down the street from where I live. It was beyond amazing.

    Does a Korean fried chicken rice bowl count? Korean fried chicken on rice with kimchi, greens, pickled radish, and garlic ranch.

    Is there anything stopping me from choosing a full course of hotpot (with the whole library of meats, mushrooms, and veggies hotpot places offer) and mixing and matching daily? Because it’s theoretically one “dish” that you order at the restaurant, and you can choose to customize it however you want afterwards.

    If the above doesn’t work, I could probably nitpick it further by saying my hotpot order is “hotpot with a Szechuan mushroom miso broth with five of everything on the menu (of the specific place I like)” and just opt not to finish everything every day if I don’t want to, right?

    Even with only water forever (I’d only lose tea and the occasional beer or mixed drink which kind of sucks but I’d ultimately be ok with it) I could probably live with an endlessly customizable selection of hotpot.

    EDIT: Grammar and my choice of broth

    Cook up two beer brats; slice.

    One packet roast beef instant ramen, one packet shrimp ramen; cook the noodles in plain water. Drain. Mix in flavor powder. Mix in sliced brats.

    Add a handful or so of finely-shredded Mexican blend cheese, let it melt.

    Eat.

    I’d suffer anyways. No matter what I choose, it’ll be awful soon. Might as well choose something ridiculously easy to eat. Plain white bread.

  19. louvhwsc Avatar

    Honestly it’s so hard to not choose a dish + a desert. So I’ll choose both.
    For a dish, duck breast with mash potatoes. For dessert, yogurt ice cream with Chantilly.

    Ok so I really like the liquid nacho cheeses that they have at like movie theaters and stuff, and Tostitos makes both a normal yellow and a queso Blanco liquid cheese dip. When we make nachos I’ll combine the two cheeses and then throw some ground beef or turkey seasoned with taco seasoning in with the cheese mixture. Ladel some of that on top of nacho cheese flavored Doritos and then top with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole. The others in my household also do Refried beans but those make my tummy hurt so I avoid them.
