What would they be?

It's probably just 'cause I got some now, but I'm thinking, white corn dipping chips and salsa, with peach iced tea.

How much do you weigh?

yorkshire pudding and mashed potatoes with cranberry juice.

How much do you weigh?

Roughly 50kg.

are we talking one meal or one particular foodstuff?

if it's one meal, i'd say thai green curry with deuchar's IPA. perfect :)

are we talking one meal or one particular foodstuff?

Either. As long as it's something you'd eat in a sitting.

Roughly 50kg.

Hmm, discounting the bones and icky bits ... not enough there ... I think sauted chicken breasts and pan-fried potatoes.

Earl Grey Tea and Tandoori Chicken

Apple Juice, mixed with Carbonated Mineral Water and Bolognese Gratin.

Potatoes. There's about 7,000 ways of cooking them, from sweet potato pie to mashed with garlic and onion. Sure, you'd probably die of various vitamin deficiencies, but it'd take a while.

White tea and cranberry scones

Lobster with scallion and ginger on e-fun noodle.

Cloudy Bay, sauv. blanc.

I'm assuming water is still available in addition.

Water and pineapple.

A toss up. really.

chicken. you can cook it in a myrad of ways...

or

Pizza, you can have a variety of pizza's even breakfast types. with Eggs, Bacon and stuff on a light tomato sause...

you get all your vitamins and all your basic food groups.

as for drink... probably fruit flavored iced tea.

Earl Grey tea and a steak with chips.

Water if I drink something else for too long, I desperately jones for water.

Oysters, best food ever.

Jambalaya and a cold beer. If water is not provided gratis, then a cold glass of water.

I've never heard that before.

"jones" as in "yearn for, desire, want, need," is it?

I've never heard that before.

"jones" as in "yearn for, desire, want, need," is it?

That would be right. Though it's common usage is jonesing. I've never seen it in that tense before.

Which area/dialect?

Southwest PA doesn't have this word.

Pedantry Alert!
And it's actually a difference in aspect (perfective vs. progressive).

"jones" as in "yearn for, desire, want, need," is it?

Yes, usually in reference to something you are addicted to. I.e. "I've been jonesing for a smoke all day."

Pedantry Alert!

Northwest. Specifically, Oregon.

It depends, it can be used several ways; here's another example: "Man, he's got a strong jones for that woman."

Interesting: language variation is very interesting to me.

I think it is part of that faux urban hipster dialect that marketing people sell.

I stand corrected.

Sushi and cold green tea.

That's a unique description.

Filet Mignon wrapped in bacon, grilled medium rare, wild rice, asparagus, chocolate mousse and Cabernet sauvignon.

Never mind how much you like some particular food or drink, you're going to get utterly sick of it after a week or so.
And then have to keep it eating it for decades. It's like a kind of hell, really.

So I'm afraid I'll have to choose some kind of medical meal-replacement, regardless of the taste, so I don't die of some deficiency. Preferably in a liquid form (eg Fresubin) so I can chug it down with minimum fuss.

If I HAD to choose a real meal, I guess fried rice with lots of vegetables, and seafood in it.

that's why I said Pizza. you can vary the toppings, the crust and make each one different.

Fair enough :)
Being a literal-minded person, I'd imagined "only one" to mean the exact same ingredients prepared exactly the same way, over and over. It's making me suicidal just thinking about it :eek:

croque monsieur and coffee

Interesting: language variation is very interesting to me.

Probably derives from the term "keeping up with the Joneses."

Milk and chicken quesadillas with montery jack cheese... fosho.

My best friend insists that, when they do an autopsy on me, they'll cut me open and find nothing but cheese.

Probably derives from the term "keeping up with the Joneses."

Probably true.

King crab with butter

Sauternes

Sauternes

It's damn tasty. But too sweet to subsist on forever.

Real homemade Ice Cream...Not the stuff made with half-half---Real stuff made with half HEAVY whipping cream, real eggs, lots of sugar, triple action freezer.

The only thing I miss about not milking cows.

Apple Pie and Red Bull.

Apple Pie because it's as American as Apple Pie, and Red Bull because it's the world's greatest drink.

Good mango and cold green tea.

What would they be?

It's probably just 'cause I got some now, but I'm thinking, white corn dipping chips and salsa, with peach iced tea.

Beer and cheese :D

Hmm. . ..for a meal:

A really good steak with twice baked cheddar jalapeño potatoes and a greek salad with an excellent cabernet.

For a single food: French Bread and olive oil

As a single drink: San Pellagrino.

Filet Mignon wrapped in bacon, grilled medium rare, wild rice, asparagus, chocolate mousse and Cabernet sauvignon.

Elitist! :p

Beer and cheese :D

Some people in my state apparently already do live on nothing but these two items.

Believe me the results are not pretty.

As for me...I think chocolate milk and pears will do just fine.

Pho to eat and Guinness to drink.
Or Pho to eat and sweet tea with coconut milk to drink....but Guinness would be so missed.

Well, these are just the 2 things I like the most. If it should be a meal then maybe a nice juicy steak with spinach and potatoes and milk to drink :)

Pizza and Jolt cola.

Souvlaki & Holgate Bitter Ale.

Thats a tough one. If Allah wasn't there, baby back ribs and rum and coke. However since thats not the case, honey bbq chicken wings and mountian dew. with warm apple pie and vanilla ice cream for dessert. :)

tacos and smoothies would be my first choices, but that's because i know from firsthand experience that i wouldn't get tired of tacos, even after having it every meal for 6 months, and i could get lots of tasty vitamins and minerals through the wide variety of home-made fruit and veggie smoothies to keep me from having digestive or malnutrition problems.

it'd help if i could include any kind of combination of tortilla shell/taco meat/lettuce/cheese/salsa combination instead of just tacos, the 'variety' that comes from putting the same ingrediants in a different form would be a way to shake things up. but that'd basically put the entire taco bell menu up for grabs instead of having just one choice of meal. i can't decide if it's cheating or not, but it sure sounds yummy!

Paint chips and sewage effluent.

Fruit salad and Rum

Thats a tough one. If Allah wasn't there, baby back ribs and rum and coke. However since thats not the case, honey bbq chicken wings and mountian dew. with warm apple pie and vanilla ice cream for dessert. :)

I. Uh? I mean, um.

You really want to eat pig and drink rotten fruit, (cos you used to love it) but because Allah says that pigs are dirty and alcohol will make you turn into a pig, you won't?

You're amongst friends here (oh, and enemies of course, but never mind). I just find this really weird.

You've resolved not to eat those ribs or drink that rum, and that's fine for whatever reason. But why mention that you really would prefer to? Doesn't admitting that you want to just make it harder not to?

Pizza and beer...

...and I'm a healthy, athletic 6'0" 185lbs

Roast beef - rib roast - with roast potatoes and stuffing and yorkshire puddings. and beer.

Not quite one food now is that?

lubintau elixer and tuna macaroni salad.

(lubintau elixer = double chocklet mocha mint, served hot or cold as the opposite of whatever the weather happens to be)

=^^=
.../\...

Corn Chips and Water, i'd make some sort of shoddy beer out of it.
Though i could just ask for beer but maybe i'd want water occasionally.

Sashimi (if kind-specific, salmon) and soda.

Cadbury's Creme Egg. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creme_egg)

Fruit salad and Rum

Yo ho ho! :D

probably spaghetti (at least the way we make it here) and duvel. it seems to have alle essentials:
protein, carbohydrates, fat, minerals, vitamins, alcohol. so i think i could survive on that.

Sandwiches and non-descript fruit juice. Hah. :p

Alternatively, Ramen and Kool-Aid.

cheese fries and iced tea

healthy? nope.

although, if I can only eat and drink one thing I am pretty sure I won't be healthy anyway so I might as well get really fat and be happy right?

You know that the only reason pork's banned in islam is because way back when, pig meat didn't hold up well in the desert, so they didn't eat it, and somehow it got written into the religion?

Tenderloin steak and Mountain Dew. Mmmmmmm :)

Pizza and water.


You can make pizza about 10,000,000 different ways.

you know my next door neighbor is Muslim and he says you guys aren't supposed to eat meat at all.

Exactly the kind of heretical question I was trying to avoid asking.
It's almost as though Sovi wants you to go there. Why mention the ribs and rum at all? That was (sort of) my question.
Please let Sovi answer mine not yours, when he/she comes back. Vaguely remember S being a he, but it isn't important really.

er, no. We can eat meat so long as its not pork and that the meat was killed by either a Muslim, jew, or Christian. It makes it Halal.

Umm, assuming that Muslims follow the same requirements of how to kill animals for eating as Jews do, a lot (I might even argue most) Christians don't follow those requirements.

so how do you verify this? I mean it must be hard to eat out, or buy meat from the grocery store right?

Twice cooked pork, extra spicy and Miller Lite beer. It's a compromise. I get meat and vegetables for nutrition, and Miller Lite is watery enough to quench thirst and it's theoretically possible to get drunk if you drink enough of it.

er, no. We can eat meat so long as its not pork and that the meat was killed by either a Muslim, jew, or Christian. It makes it Halal.

Isn't there was also a prohibition on consuming meat that has blood in it too?

Because even though I liked those things, a lot actually, I simply can not go against the will of Allah. He has made them forbidden, so I will not eat or drink those things. It doesn't make it harder to avoid them simply admitting I would perfer them.

proof?

Doesn't admitting that you want to just make it harder not to?
I can answer that from my own POV. I really miss Hooters Boneless BBQ Chicken strips, I can't have them, it doesn't make it any harder for me to admit that if I could have them I would eat them.......it's nice to remember them. :)

so how do you verify this? I mean it must be hard to eat out, or buy meat from the grocery store right?

Yeah, in fact ideally halal meat would be meat only killed by Muslim following certain guidelines. That meat is generally only sold at speciality Halal grocery stores. However, this can be difficult so meat killed by a person of the book is allowable(which means no chinese food). I admit there is really no way to verify it if your getting the meat from anywhere but a place you know to be halal so I try to go to those places when I can.

Isn't there was also a prohibition on consuming meat that has blood in it too?

yeah. No blood, no animal that died on its own, no animal that was gored to death, no animal killed in the name of any god but Allah,etc. few other things too, but you get the idea.

great, you can join my club of people with restricted eating places. :) I knew we would find some common ground.

Mine would probably be Penne with grilled chicken, mozzarella ina vodka sauce and my drink would be Black Label neat.

Fried chicken, and Yuengling lager.

you know my next door neighbor is Muslim and he says you guys aren't supposed to eat meat at all.

So you're saying your neighbor is a liar or insane?

French fries and carbonated water.

If there isn't any ketchup for the fries, though, it'd be Laugenwecken (http://www.gramss.de/tk/images/174_laugenbroetchen.jpg) and carbonated water.

So you're saying your neighbor is a liar or insane?

my neighbor to the east is insane, the neighbor to the west is Muslim and is very conservative, I think I misunderstood him, he probably meant that he couldn't get acceptable meat here. I know they don't eat any meat and when I asked why he said "because I am Muslim and it's wrong"

he doesn't talk to me much because of the way I dress though.

I would probably choose a Subway sandwich and milk.

Heretic

Fine but i choose the beer!

Cadbury's Creme Egg. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creme_egg)
I don't think thse idiots in Australia have them.
Someone got stopped at Border Security for having those.
Stupid Australians.

King crab legs and Red Bull.

I think I could subsist on Pancakes and Yoohoo.

Whiskey and um... fuck it, chips.

What would they be?

It's probably just 'cause I got some now, but I'm thinking, white corn dipping chips and salsa, with peach iced tea.

me...i'll take a new york strip steak,and wash it down with a bass pale ale.

You're way off the mark there, they were on the supermarket shelves this morning.

We've had them for months. Our supermarkets always go nuts over Easter.

or glitziness' cheesecake :D

I'll choose a bowl of mulligatawny soup followed by two vegetable samosas (with tamarind sauce) & a tall, sweet iced lassi. For the main course, lamb rogan josh on a bed of basmati rice and lastly some gulab jamun and fresh-cut mango.

We've had them for months. Our supermarkets always go nuts over Easter.

I think they stock them all year round now, not just for Easter.

Water and Schnitzel.

Water because of obvious reasons. Schnitzel because it's nice.

Frisian cake (local dish) and Dr. Pepper. Gotta love sweets.

Corn and soybeans. They make up 75% of the processed food we eat these days, anyway. With the right chemistry equipment and all the corn and soybeans I could use (assuming that the water is provided), I could make myself virtually any processed food. Yeah, that's kind of cheating (and kind of scary, if you think about it), but it could work.

The funny thing, though, is that you couldn't cheat and live off vitamin supplements, because most of the vitamins go right through you. Vitamin buyers have the most valuable urine in the world because of all the nutrients they don't absorb.

So, all told, modern food is kind of useless for actually eating.

No, we got 'em.

Well this proves one of two things...
Either the radio is unreliable
Or Australians like to delay Kiwi's at customs.

Strawberry Milkshake and cookies

Lamb chops and ice lemon tea.
