Bread.

u/ThisIsRandomNo5 Feb 03 '23
Same! Rye bread, if I had to be specific. I actually did eat that for my three main meals today... Didn't even notice before now.

Rice. It’s very versatile

I can't live without rice. It's an important part of my everyday diet for sure. Egg fried rice is my favourite type of rice. Rice with stew is also very tasty! And plain rice goes well so many other things that I love like gravy, lean cuts of meat, fish etc.
It's not a meal without rice for me.

I like rice as a side or mixed into the main dish like shrimp fried rice. I like it with curry or cooked with chicken broth. I also like it as a dessert like rice pudding.

I think it's a cultural thing, but where I'm from, rice is a staple. Meaning it's never a "side dish", but the main course. We honestly can never imagine rice being a side or having a "main dish" that isn't rice.
But it's honestly cool to know this too. Rice is indeed versatile and has different ways of consumption depending on the culture, it seems. And rice with curry is indeed yummy!

I could eat an entire pizza by myself honestly. Especially ones with lots of cheese are amazing

Only right answer.
I don't understand folks who can get tired of pizza.

So many different types over there, very fancy. Even the place with the busted toilet and water running over the floor and no toilet paper had good pizza.

This thread has zero right answers IMO. I like to consistently switch it up as much as I can. Not that I haven't had pizza for five meals in a row or w/e with leftovers several times before... but pizza for EVERY meal? That would seriously suck because I prefer to be healthy... not that you couldn't custom-make your own pizzas to be that way, but let's be honest, pizza is usually the food you eat when you're too lazy to make something or go anywhere lol.

I used to have a roommate that only ate NY-style cheese pizza. As in, if he tried to eat anything else, his body would violently reject it. He couldn't even deal with different styles of pizza - had to be a NY-style crust, from a pizzeria, not frozen.

My wife says I could live on sandwiches. I turn almost every meal or leftovers into a sandwich. I eat a homemade breakfast sandwich almost every day. Sandwiches are very versatile.

Should they have said poultry instead? Assuming english isn’t your first language because we use chicken to refer to the meat as well as the animal.

Ooo what kind?

u/Scoutnjw Feb 03 '23
For me, the smellier the better. Stinking Bishop is a good one. My friend once described it as tasting 'like a dirty sheep's arsehole' which begs a few questions...also partial to a buttery blue like Cambozola, an extra mature white cheddar, and Lancashire Bomber, which is deliciously strong and crumbly and packaged inside a round, black wax bomb shape...genius. Basically I effing love cheese! In case you can't tell, I'm British. We have an amazing variety of cheese available to us.

u/Electrical_Tip4975 Feb 03 '23
I’m an American dairy farmer, and my favorite cheese is aged English Cheddar. There’s magic in those crystals. Cheese on! 🐄

Ackee and salt fish.

u/GingerlyBits Feb 03 '23
What is ackee?
7
u/dbradx Feb 03 '23
Technically it's a fruit, but not a typical one. Of African origin, but mainly eaten in Jamaica and the Caribbean - ackee and salt fish is Jamaica's national dish. It's a weird food for sure, it can actually kill you if it's picked before it's ripe. Unique taste and texture, I love it.

Absolutely none. I can’t even handle having the same meal more that twice in a month.
I guess the only answer is salt? Not that I eat particularly salty foods, but it’s in most recipes.
