If you had to eat the same thing everyday...what would it be? You
could eat other things but there would be one thing you'd have to eat
every day. No counting spices, butter, etc.

Me...maybe a peanut butter on an English muffing.

If I had to eat the same food day after day, it would be a version of
Dante's Hell. Talk to the OCD types about it.... or the so called
"normal" people who have such a rigid routine that they make a
specific meal on a specific day every single frikkin' week. Ugh. No
thanks, not even in theory. I could eat a category, like squash,
multiple times per week... but if you limited me to zucchini (which is
very versatile) only - I'd go postal after a while.

If I didn't have diabetes or my other medical conditions... Beans, rice,

I do pretty much the same thing for breakfast daily. A fruit,
yogurt and protein smoothie with sprouted grain raisin toast and cream
cheese. Easy, quck, nutritious and I'm out the door to work.

Yeah, I don't think I could ever get sick of pizza. I could also
probably enjoy peanut butter and jelly every day too.

And potatoes. You can make them so many different ways.

Not for me. I like pizza and everything, but it's a meal item. And bad
enough for you that I limit it to once a week. The only thing I would choose
would be something simple, like a apple or a bagel (I eat one 4 times a week
as it is).

I think there is an apples/oranges comparison here. Peanut butter and
jelly does not vary much and, as a sole diet would drive me up the wall.
Pizza has many varieties and might keep interest somewhat longer and
potatoes, as you say, can be prepared in many ways. A better comparison
would be with the boiled potatoes that my Irish ancestors, perforce,
managed to live on but I think I'd try to emigrate if I had to do that,
as my ancestors did.

I generally have one toasted with some cream cheese. If I'm going to have
pizza, I want the real thing.

I have always read that the Irish emigrated because of a widespread
potato blight that resulted in "the great potato famine", not from a
surfeit of boiled potatoes.

We learned in grade school that cheese pizza was actually very
nutritious. There were flash cards with common foods and their
nutritional values, and I think pizza was a the best card out
there. The only other card I could remember was "refried beans".
Nobody in 1976 Pittsburgh knew what refried beans were. They
looked like a pile of runny dog poo on the flash card. Very funny
stuff for 9 year olds.

As for what food would I eat for the rest of my life? That's easy.

Buffet food.

The rich folks (English and their Irish underlings) were profiting
selling food back to Britain during the years of starvation. It's
easy to see how the IRA types would want to rid their island of the
British.

If there were no health consequences, chips aka fries :)

No seasonal or budgetary consequences, mussels, clams, lobster, scallops
:)

Grew up eating potatoes nearly every day. Still eat bread of some sort
every day.

I'd probably go with pizza, too, as long as I could make it myself. If
you make your own sauce and dough and don't go crazy with the toppings
or require fancy, imported ingredients, homemade pizza is actually a
pretty cheap meal.

Though i do still consume a lot of bread, I have mainly switched over to
rice from potatoes. We have the odd or occasional baked potato or even
stuffed baked potato every once in a while. But a pot of rice is so
much more .... easy, than a cooked potato of any sort.

Just wish i liked rice salads:)

Same amount of work for us to cook rice or cook potatoes.

As for rice salads, try different dressings. A mayonnaise with curry
paste and throw in a few toasted nuts and some sultanas.

Add a small amount of meat or fish to your rice salads. Try
chirashizushi, where the ingredients are mixed into the rice.

For the last ten years or so, my breakfast has hardly varied. A plate
of oatmeal porridge and a cup of coffee made the oldest way with
Yirgacheffe coffee freshly ground powder-fine. I never get tired of
it.

My breakfast is pretty standard. During the summer months I start the
day with a bowl of Shredded Wheat and when it starts getting cooelr I
switch to Cream of Wheat, occasionally oatmeal. Then I have a latte
and sometimes a piece of toast.


Apparently my grandmother had a weekly menu plan, with a particular dish
for each night of the week. The old girl only had to know how to cook
seven dinners.

I will never understand that style. My grandparents did that and my
mother (who never did have much of a repertoire) did it in her later
years. If I start doing that, I'll know it's time to check myself
into an old folks home.

I do it now for a couple of days. We have either pizza or macaroni and
cheese a couple of times a week. Occasionally we'll have cheese enchiladas
or nachos instead. But always a cheese meal.

That's enough variety with in the cheese category to be absolved by
me. If you have cheese pizza (like clockwork) every Tuesday, then
you're in trouble. ;)

It's either Tuesday or Sunday for the cheese dishes. Then there are two
nights when I have to pack something for daughter to take to the dance
studio. She doesn't always get the same thing but it is either something
she can reheat in the microwave or something she can eat cold. Twice a week
we dine out. The other night I cook at home and we have to eat before
dance. So it is either something I can cook quickly or do in the crockpot.
Sometimes what I cook then is taken later in the week to the dance studio.
Her current favorite dish is Chicken Vesuvio. She LOVES chicken. I add
twice the amount of chicken than the recipe calls for.

That's the way I understand it too. They grew a lot of potatoes because
they could produce enough spuds to feed a family on a small plot of
land. Then the blight hit. Not only did their potatoes go bad, but they
had used up most of their garden space for this crop which had failed so
they had nothing else to fall back on. Meanwhile, the large farms had
enough to export, but the Irish could not afford it.

i think it depends on the meals and how good they are. if i could execute,

This is the first I've heard of Chicken Vesuvio so I had to look it
up. I think I'll try it, based on your recommendation! Giada's
recipe was the first one I found and it said to use either artichoke
hearts or lima beans. I usually have a box of artichoke hearts in the
freezer, and I have both at the moment. Which one do you usually
pick?


Chicken Vesuvio
Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis

4 servings

Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 1 hr
Level: Intermediate


Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
4 chicken thighs with skin and bones
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds small red-skinned potatoes, halved
4 large garlic cloves, minced
3/4 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
8 ounces frozen artichoke hearts or 1 cup frozen lima beans, thawed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Heat the oil in large ovenproof pot over high heat. Sprinkle the
chicken with salt and pepper. Working in 2 batches if necessary, cook
the chicken in the pot until golden brown on all sides, about 10
minutes. Transfer the chicken to a bowl. Carefully add the potatoes
to the same pot and cook until they are golden brown, stirring
occasionally, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 1
minute. Add the wine and stir to scrape up any brown bits on the
bottom of the pot. Add the broth, oregano, and thyme. Return the
chicken to the pot. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil over
medium-high heat.

Cover and bake in the oven until the chicken is cooked through, about
20 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a platter. Arrange the potatoes
around chicken. Add the artichoke hearts to the sauce in the pot.
Cover and simmer over high heat until the artichokes are tender,
stirring often, about 4 minutes. Turn heat to low.

Stir in the butter. Pour the sauce over chicken and potatoes, and
serve.

I bet you'd change your tune after a while. I know I could be all
over certain recipes for a little while, but it would get old in a
couple of months. We're talking about forever here, not a couple of
months or even a couple of years.
