I totally agree! These sustained me for the first 18 years of my life, and this remains my favorite meal (with some onions and pan fried potatos on the side).

Or Pho.

HOT DOGS!

Wow this is a tough one, I would have to go with BLTs. To frink, Sonic Cherry limeaides........

wow-- some different tastes out there for sure.. fun to see what you all like-- i'd still have to stay with my choice of PIZZA-- any kind ( no anchovies though--that's the only thing i won't eat on pizza-- and others-- 'see 'pizza toppings' thread for that one) don't want to mix threads here.... that would be bad..:)
anyway-- keep the answers coming- i'm enjoying this..

guess the next part would be-- WHERE would you like to be stranded and with whom?? haha .. ok --- that's not food related!! guess that don't count!! oh well..

Steak steak steak steak steak steak steak.

Marooned on a desert island I would opt for a chicken. Think of the endless supply of eggs! I could have a different egg dish each day. Or on a desert island you could always eat the sandwiches there "sand which is there".

define bad.

We have enough warp, perhaps we could use a little weft.

We'll have no FRINKING in these forums young lady!
( I love making good typos, don't you MaryB?)

I'm with Jersey Girl: Pizza. You know, you have to consider what will keep you feeling good on that desert island. Pizza: providing all our daily nutritioal requirements. The perfect food.
Another perfect food is peanut butter and banana sandwiches (made with nutritionally sound whole grain bread, of course)--delicious, but, unlike Elvis, I would get tired of that.
And, to take up the challenge: a classic tropical island of the Hawaii/Tahiti sort with--whew, this is difficult--an attractive, good humored male, good conversationalist, well read, who knows how to build shelter and find water. And who likes Pizza. Welcome to Fantasy Island!
Also: thanks for the Versailles recommendation! I was trying to come up with a good Miami Cuban place for my niece, who will be visiting soon.

Turning it back to food: "This chick is toast."

The Versailles I refer to is in Los Angeles. I don't believe the family has one in Fla. If there is one, it's not related. But post that query on "Where should I eat?" I bet you'll get lots of good ideas.

didn't mean BAD.. just trying to keep to the topic that's all.. didn't mean life ending/threatening bad.. just trying to keep things straight here... that's all...

Shrimp!

“You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it.”

Meatloaf for me !!! The all purpose food !! Especially cold the next day !!

With so many great things to eat it's difficult to pick just one. However, I know if I didn't have chocolate (any shape or form) at some point, I would die!

Going with chicken on this one. Has many different components to satisfy. You have your crispy skin. You have your wings. Breast for when you want to diet. And your legs and thighs when you are in the mood to party. Alas you have the backend when you want a treat. And those two tasty little morsels that are hidden near the thighs (oysters). Chicken is like a complete banquet when you break it down.

I cant wrap my brain around the concept of only ONE food! It not only CANT be done....it SHOUDN'T! Wrong, i tell you,its just plain wrong!

AN ODE TO SUSHI
if i only had one food to eat
i know my tastebuds would feel complete
the eating of raw meat
-an ode to sushi-
Some people see it as bait
others just cannot relate
i say cowards only hate
-an ode to sushi-
Tuna, yellowtail, and Eel
im lured by its sex appeal
i get satisfied with every meal
-an ode to sushi-


the end.

Just one food! oh my------I can't survive without variety!

::stands and claps for sushi girl:: brava brava

thank you, thank you, its not open mic night but i felt the need to spout forth. i can do a mean version of "smelly cat"

The one and only perfect food - TACOS - beef, lettuce, cheese and tomatoes. Balanced diet.

Is this where I submit my poem? OK.

I once had some clams in Nantucket
That came in a large wooden bucket.




Uh, gee. I forgot the rest of it.

I'll just bet you did...

olphart, good thing I just happened to have had that exact passage of the New Testament open as it goes:

I once had some clams in Nantucket
That came in a large wooden bucket
They were too gritty and from less desirable mud
Surely not potable for any blueblood
They must've come from Pawtucket

spaghetti and meat ball

Grandma used to make it whenever I want
High school dinning room served it every Wednesday for lunch
college - Ikea Swedish meatball in Prego sauce
Now, I am learning my Grandma's recipe...

Then there's the variation from the Apocrypha:

There once was a man from Nantucket,
Kept all of his clams in a bucket.
His daughter named Nan
Ran off with a man.
And as for the bucket,
Natucket.

I would have ended with Nan took it, but that ruins the rhyme, unless you are from Alberta.
