If you could eat only ONE food for the rest of you life, what would it be?
Don’t ask me how this popped in my head (honestly, you probably don't want to know), these random thoughts usually just come to me at the weirdest times. But no matter whether it was in the shower or during American Idol, I started thinking about which food I would pick if I had to eat the same thing forever, from now on.
And you know what? The answer was simple: bread and butter.
I could live on bread and butter (and I'm pretty sure I basically did growing up). Some of my earliest memories are of my grandfather buttering my bread for dinner -- "You want super-butter?" YES! Of course I want super butter; the more the better.
Give me a loaf of bread and some butter and I'm happier than a pig in, well, you know. I would eat it for breakfast and dinner, lunch and snack, in my house or with a mouse, under the table or with Betty Grable… OK, that's just silly, but you get the point. Bread, do you take Butter? I do. Butter, do you take Bread? I do. (The perfect marriage!)
So if you could pick only ONE food to eat for the rest of your life, what would it be? Share with us by commenting below!

Peanut butter would definitely be my choice. Sweet, salty, protein, fat and needs no refrigeration!

Pineapple, you can make juice, dry it or eat it
fresh and whole. Lots of
nutrients and refreshing, and it is only one food.

I love cheese and I need to crunch.

Can i just say "Taco Bell"? I mean.. everything on the menu has all the same ingredients, just different format. If not, than crunchy beef tacos loaded with cheese and sour cream.

I consider the 4 basic food groups as a single item:
Cheeseburgers, french fries, coffee, and doughnuts.

I couldn't live on one food alone I like variety too much. But if I had to try it would be big juicy crab legs (or lobster) and butter.
Comment: Thursday, March 27, 2008 2:33:00 PM - said...
Pizza, cheese, meat, veggies, and even desert and breakfast. Pizza can be anyway, and the best crust from thin to extra thick.

Freshly baked bread (any type)would be my choice too. But running a very close second would be Carnation non-fat condensed milk on/in anything (e.g. fresh fruit, tapioca and rice puddings, sauces, smoothies) - absolutely LOVE that taste.
