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,
popcorn, salad, cheese and walnuts.

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.

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.

i think it depends on the meals and how good they are. if i could execute,
say, a flawless szechuan crispy beef, eating it once a week would not be a
strain.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
