...eat as much [food item 1] as you want, without suffering any unwanted consequences

... always find [food item 2] at a bargain price, discounted or on sale (but you can't resell them)

...eat [ food item 3] and be sure it will always be be of excellent quality, rich and full of flavor

My three items would be chocolate, steak and cheese. Maybe. I'm not too sure about the steak, maybe I should say eggs instead.

What would be your three blessed foods?

    1. lava - it looks delicious and its mostly here so I can try it with no consequences. Idc if it’s just dirt!
    2. lab grown ribeye - I don’t necessarily need a lot of meat in my diet, but I’d take cruelty-free at a discount
    3. pho - restaurants have wildly different recipes for it and sometimes it’s just not what I want. So now I’ll standardize it all to my personal preference!

    Pho for sure. I'm hesitant to even get it at restaurants (as opposed to making it myself) because most of the time it's extremely mediocre, a decent chunk of the time it's really disappointing, and on rare occasion it's great.

    Also, I like chicken pho and almost every restaurant serves beef pho with chicken breast and calls it "chicken pho". That is not chicken pho; that is beef pho with chicken.

    Lava... The forbidden polenta...

    Lab grown meat, that's a good choice!

    And regarding pho. It will not be standardized, but they will all be delicious to you. You will get to experience variety just as good as what you consider your current favorites. So I guess that still works.

    1. Fried pizza (Neapolitan food, incredible, but obscenely caloric)
    2. Vegan salmon (love it but jeez, it's expensive!)
    3. Bread. Yes, I'm simple. But a bad bread can ruin a whole meal, and it's surprisingly easy to find bad bread when you don't buy from your trusted source.

    1: Beer. Because I could probably drink a little bit less.
    2: Mushrooms. Because I use shitloads of them.
    3: Entrecote. Because the best cuts are hard to find.

    These combine into a perfect meal.

    Can we get a ruling on whether Beer counts as a food item?

    otherwise I'll go with:

    • Shellfish, because I'm allergic
    • Something seasonal like strawberries, that changes price based on how far you need to import it
    • AVOCADOS, so that I never again cut one open to find it's rock hard, or already turned to black goop

    I was going to get specific about whether ot not beverages count or if you need to be specific (ie. spinach ravioli) as opposed to broad (ie. pasta), but, hell. Whatever makes you happy. It's a casual conversation post. I'll allow beer.

    1. Physalis. One of my favorite fruit along kaki. The plant is beautiful and its exotic taste is amazing. :3
    2. Black truffle. I love meal with this mushroom but they are kinda expensive. 😅
    3. Risotto. That is an delicious italian meal. Creamy rice mixed with cheese, vegetable and mushroom. There is a subtle flavor of white wine. :3

    3 food items is kinda fustrating, i want a bigger list :)

    Yes, I am lactose intolerant, thanks for asking!

    1. Donuts - need something sweet in the list and they come in so many varieties.
    2. A5 Wagyu for sure - don't need to worry about the quality here as it'll always be top-notch.
    3. I was going to say gin here but I've decided coffee (particularly espresso beverages) instead - I've been chasing the high of an amazing cup I had in Tokyo for years .

    Hmmm. Pizza, beef, and cheese. I agree with you on cheese. Bad cheese is so sad!

    full calorie pop, chocolate (real and best quality), eggs. pop is hands down. its cheap as heck and to be able to drink as much of the real stuff without health consequences. heck I would be practically immune to diabetes. finding cheap chocolate of good quality all the time. yes please. a pasteur raised egg from chickens that eat a realtively natural diet is sooooo much better than generic white eggs. would be great when getting eggs at retaurants when I can't control the source.

    First one is either chocolate or pasta. I could take or leave other carbs, but pasta gets me fucked up every time. No-consequences chocolate is the bigger win, though.

    Second one is chicken. Economically, other food makes more sense (like steak), but chicken is the better protein IMO. As long as discount/on sale doesn't mean lower quality or expired. If I have to be specific, boneless skinless chicken breasts.

    Third is going to be pasta. Since chocolate is the bigger win for the first one, pasta goes here. Now here's why. Pasta is pretty diverse. We're talking spaghetti, ravioli, carbonara, alfredo, Mac & Cheese, hell, even ramen! Ramen is the real win here. Imagine breaking open a Cup Noodles or Top Ramen and you're getting Gyu-Kaku (Japanese steakhouse/ramen chain with locations in the west, so you can find one, maybe) ramen or better. That's a major cheat code. As for Mac & Cheese, sometimes you just want Kraft Dinner, but it's always at its best. Bad pasta can still show you some love, but great pasta for free when you eat the cheap stuff?

    Third one is badly worded I think. Second one says it will always be inexpensive, but the third one says it's always high quality... but, it doesn't say you have to pay the higher price. So it's a mirror of the second one. Second one will always be cheap, but it's whatever quality, whereas the third one will always be good at whatever price. I still keep them in those slots though, because I don't care if my chicken isn't higher quality. I control that. And while I can make decent to good pasta (maybe even great, but I wouldn't say excellent, though my wife might), getting "excellent" pasta with no effort? Fuck yeah.

    I also noticed "pasta" is very broad and categorical. If I have to specify which pasta... Ramen. Ramen is cheap (like 3-4 for $1) and good ramen is hard to come by. There are like a dozen noodle shops around me, but none of them are very good. I will drive 3 hours to a Gyu-Kaku for their ramen.

    TL;DR: Chocolate, chicken, pasta (or ramen if I have to be specific)

    All round good choices! Just to clarify the difference between second and third, second item you always find it at a lower price, and no it doesn't mean it's starting to rot. But it doesn't necessarily mean it will always be top notch either. Just average, subject to the luck of the draw I guess, sometimes better sometimes unremarkable. Always cheap.

    Third is anytime you eat some thing. It doesn't necessarily mean you purchased or cooked it. Maybe you were invited to an event or to a friend's dinner, well, if there is pasta there your portion will be incredible even if it was cooked in the same pot as everyone else's. If you give your portion to someone else, they will not taste this benefit but the mundane version instead.

    Eat as much as I want without consequences would most likely be any form of potatoes.

    At a bargain price would be good bread.

    Always good quality would be cheese.

    1. Pizza - eat the whole pan! No worries
    2. Fried chicken - good sales on fried chicken is great.
    3. Lasagna/ pasta - a good quality lasagna / pasta

    Not bad, I mean even in an average gut legumes will cause gas ... Cheese is always a good answer. Solid choices

    Ramen with sardines, okay. That's new for me

    It's a Casual Conversation post.... It doesn't matter how old it is!

    So... You just make the ramen and dump the contents of a tin of sardines or do you actually cook that ?

    Liver is underrated. It's a bit difficult to find where I am though, and cooking it can be messy (I like it pan fried). How do you cook liver for polenta? I've added leftover beef and/or tomato sauce to polenta and it's great, also cheese. But never thought of liver
