One meal forever

If you were told you could only eat one dish for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Mine would be either a roast, or a jacket potato with cheese, beans, and probably some coleslaw, too.

Grandson would have just pizza, he says.

Egg on toast with bacon.

Vegetable lasagne and double chocolate mini magnums.

Callistemon Wed 26-Aug-20 22:54:05

Yes, eggs.
And potatoes.

I would have to go with roast chicken (dark meat for me) and baby potatoes and peas with butter.

Peach or apple pie for dessert. But the thought of not having chocolate again would be agonizing.

Watermeadow, I do understand, and give my dog a small variety on top of her kibbles for dinner.

Cheese and mayo sarnies

One meal forever is the reality for all factory-farmed animals. Dogs who are fed on dry kibble have the same unbelievably boring diet. Today my dog has enjoyed chicken, brown rice, diced vegetables, cucumber, an apple and cheese. She also gets sardines, beef, eggs, broccoli and raw bones.
My forever meal would be salad and cheese. Apple crumble and custard for pudding, please.

Minced beef because it is so versatile, we make a big pot and have some with Yorkshire puddings. Another day we will add tomato sauce and have with spaghetti.
Whatever is left can be added to rice and made into stuffed peppers.

My first thought was fish and chips but basically almost anything fishy such as shellfish. I was once told by a medical person that if you ate fish and chips everyday with pickled onions your diet would be perfectly adequate! How could that be true?
If it was every day though I would quickly get sick of it

Pant you are like my DH! I would happily eat the same things and do to a certain extent!

Marydoll Wed 26-Aug-20 08:56:33

Anything which contains seafood!

Toasted ham, cheese and pickle sandwich, packet of crisps and a large glass of very cold Sauvignon Blanc.

I could manage on that for quite a while ( leaving the wine out at lunchtime) and just having the toast for breakfast.

I could introduce a tomato and a spring onion and have some lettuce and cucumber on the side of the plate. I could swap the ham for an egg for breakfast occasionally and introducing a jar of marmite into the equation would result in a very happy outcome for me. ??

It’s a toss up between seafood risotto and curry.

But I know I couldn’t do it. I once had a day eating nothing but chocolate (a bucket list thing). I thought it was going to be a real treat, but by teatime I was ready to fight DH for his fish and chips.

I couldn’t do it - I can’t even eat the same breakfast or lunch every day for a week, let alone the same dinner/supper forever!

I love food, the buying, cooking and eating thereof but no one meal would tickle my taste buds for the rest of my days.

Absolutely, Me too, Pant. DH would eat the same thing ever day, I would get bored to tears... two days in a row are too many.

Curry - I crave it if I've haven't had it for awhile. Either homemade (I make decent chicken, prawn or mince beef versions. Or takeaway - always a veggie one)
Yummy - now I know what I am making for dinner tonight!!

ginny Wed 26-Aug-20 08:00:25

Couldn’t contemplate it.
Love to have different meals and try new ideas.

Beauregard Wed 26-Aug-20 07:18:51

Roast rib of beef with cauliflower cheese, Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes and parsnips and an assortment of fresh vegetables.

tanith Wed 26-Aug-20 07:01:48

I thicken a chicken roast with as many Vegs as possible would be the most versatile if allowed to mix and match the different components.

Caribbean stewed chicken with pigeon peas and rice, coleslaw and macaroni pie. Served as pelau you can close your eyes and imagine you can hear the breeze blowing through the coconut trees.

BlueBelle Wed 26-Aug-20 01:53:07

Curry which I love and which can be varied in so many ways so many countries have their own ways of cooking curry from sweet to hot and everything between
