What meal could you have forever? - Lemmy.world

Pizza! So many types and different way of making them
Agreed. Pizza for breakfast? Make it breakfast pizza then!
This is objectively the only correct answer!
Chicken penne alfredo with broccoli, homemade with good fresh ingredients.
Spaghetti bolognese. I once ate that meal 5 days in a row for both lunch and dinner, and only at the end of it was I close to getting tired of it. So yeah, if anything, spaghetti bolognese is something I could eat forever.
Beefy cheesy food in general really. Lasagna, pasta, work too.
Tacos
Great username!
I’ve accidentally gone 4-5 meals straight with tacos quite a few times
Quesadillas. I could eat that on breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

I want to say Manta (Armenian dumplings), but that could be due to me only having them a few times a year. It’s labor intensive and my grandmother used to make them all the time, but now I have to wait for a random church to sell them.

I might have to go with tacos as my backup. Tons of variety there.

The only American dumplings I’m aware of is Chicken and Dumplings, which is more soggy biscuits that actual dumplings.
McDonald’s cheeseburgers
The worst kind of cheeseburger.

They overcharge for bad quality, squished burgers, then charge you an arm and a leg to add lettuce and tomato.

I don’t know why anyone that loves burgers would eat there when Wendy’s exists. They have a double cheeseburger that costs a dollar less than McDonald’s and it comes with lettuce and tomato FOR FREE

not from US, so we have lots of Mcd and couple of Burger Kings and KFCs, but those are out of the way
Salad - there is chicken salad, regular salad, and if you are feeling extra adventurous there is ice cream salad. However, if I don’t wanna exploit a technicality, then I would eat just plain pasta and cheese - I already survived off of it for years in school, so meh
Just avoid the bagged stuff. Otherwise risk a nasty E. coli outbreak
How is non-bagged any safer? Does the e coli come from the plastic?
brownie salad exists
Shepherds pie.

Shepherds pie is so easy and tasty too.

Easily one of my favorite easy meals

I love a simple Shepherd’s pie, but once I had Shepherd’s pie at Heston Blumenthal’s restaurant/pub thing, and fuck me blind, it was the absolute tits.
Peanut butter and jelly sandwich
Oatmeal with a bit of brown sugar.
Ooh yeah. I like cinnamon in there too.
I have the same breakfast every day and I love it. An air fried country fried chicken patty on a buttered toasted hamburger bun with 3 eggs folded into a square on the bun.

Do what now? How much is seven points on weight watchers?

I’m glad we’re getting over the “fat is bad” problem since my parents, basically, poisoned me with sugar because I was a fat kid.

But that’s a lot of calories. Let me underestimate: 200 for the bun. 350 for the chicken. 80 per egg.

That’s a generous 800 calorie breakfast without including the butter that you mentioned.

That wasn’t ever a breakfast I ate outside of a holiday or something, even as a teenager, and I recently had to explain that I ate 10 taco Bell bean burritos for dinner on the regular when I worked one particular job in high school. That was 3000 calories, which I pretty easily burned during that job.

It depends on your current weight, your goal weight and your sex… I’m male, 240ish and looking to lose so my daily points are 39 right now.

Eggs are 0 points so you can eat as many as you want. Chicken breast is low or free depending on cooking method. Whole wheat bread is low.

The calories of my breakfast sandwhich is actually 500

Weight Watchers can really work imo if you like all the 0 point foods and can stay on plan. Then again, it seems like most stuff can work if you stay on plan.

Interesting.

I enjoyed the “free food” philosophy the last time I was really in weight loss mode (you and I are about the same size). I just counted my “real food” calories and ate as much fruit and veg as I wanted.

I am surprised that they count eggs as free though.

Those are concentrated animal making material and are definitely more calorie dense than the berries and carrots and cucumbers that I fill up on when in trying to lose weight. Hell, I’d eat a dozen eggs a day if I actually thought I could lose weight doing that.

The rest of the house would suffer. Probably worse than broccoli farts, but I’d enjoy it.

Chili! Like others have said about their choice, there are so many different recipes and styles. I like them all! Except Cincinnati chili.
Noodles. Have them fried or in a soup. There’s endless varieties and combinations to have and they’re all so satisfying.
Curry UK takeaway style if I could afford to I’d eat it everyday although it’s probably frowned upon I always get it with chips instead of rice.

Southern biscuits and sausage gravy. I’m a northerner, but man… Love me some southern food.

I’m assuming you’re asking what we’d like with no ill consequences, because that stuff will kill ya if you eat it every day.

Pancake w/ black coffee’s honestly been tiding me over in the mornings for the past couple years. i’ll usually rotate a meal out of my diet when I think i’ve perfected the cooking process for it or i just get tired of the taste, but that one just hasnt lost its appeal for me.
Fried eggs, I eat it for breakfast every morning.

The Finest Possible Caprese Sandwich:

  • fresh Baked Stirato Italian Baguette
  • fresh Mozzarella di bufala
  • fresh-picked Heirloom Italian Genovese Basil
  • fresh-picked San Marzano Tomatoes
  • Frantoia 100% Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Mediterranean Sea Salt
  • Giuseppe Giusti Premio Italian Balsamic Vinegar
I got hungry reading this, and I just had my supper one hour ago. :)
Pizza or chocolate soylent

Ramen. Not that shit you buy in a cup at the market.

24 hr slow cooked pork bone broth, chashu, and all of the accoutrements

I rotate through a small list of recipes. 90% of what I eat is pasta, pizza, and burritos.

Golden curry stew with either pork or beef.

I just need one bar of the golden curry mix a few potatoes and carrots, some onions then the protein and its great every time with some rice.

Ever since I was a kid I could eat Bologna and cheese sandwiches every day for lunch, and I still find it delicious now that I’m 39. I’m a vegetarian now, but they make vegan Bologna that’s indistinguishable in taste, so I just eat that now.
Definitely sushi
I can eat ungodly amounts of sushi. Until I stop eating and stand up, which is when my trousers rip.
Sticky toffee pudding. Unfortunately a diet of only sticky toffee pudding would result in “forever” not in fact lasting very long.
Carrot Stew. Carrots, potatoes, maybe butternut squash or sweet potatoes as well and a piece of salted/dried pork belly slowly cooked until tender. Parsley, salt and pepper to taste. It’s actually pretty simple as you you just dump everything into a pot and let it simmer until its done, but I will never get tired of that dish, ever.
Aloo gobi
How do you like to make yours? I hadn’t heard of this dish before, but the pictures look good!

yellow potatoes, chopped into 3/4 - 1" cubes, fried in coconut oil for 15 minutes or so, remove from heat (I pour them in a bowl)

Chop up onions, garlic, ginger, and the spiciest chili peppers you can handle (for my wife, serranos) - also fry up in coconut oil, with ground cumin, coriander seed, and turmeric (or just use curry powder)

Add some diced tomatoes - either manually diced or canned are honestly fine. I usually make it along with saffron paneer masala, so I use most of the tomatoes for the masala and just a bit for the aloo gobi. Cook until it’s basically gravy

Add cauliflower, partially pre-cooked potatoes, and stir to combine - cover and lower heat. You can also add a bit of butter or more coconut oil at this point to help things fry up. Add salt to taste (I like to use some black salt - Kala namak). Amchur (mango) powder is also a great addition.

Stir every 5-10 minutes to make sure things get nice and combined. When the potatoes start falling apart and the cauliflower gets noticeably soft, it’s done.

Thank you so much! I’ve got some new things to put on my shopping list now
Spicy Thai Basil Chicken
Rice noodles with siracha sauce.
