A nice hearty soup. Can basically travel the world because it can feed you and hydrate you when you cannot find water or sustenance. And I think it is healthy enough to not kill you if you survived on it for the last 3 months, might be wrong.

But most importantly it will not take away your pleasure of better food, such as pizza, which after three months only eating pizza, you will be tired of it for the rest of you life

Assuming cooked includes "prepared": sushi boat with a variety of rolls!

Plenty to eat, good protein, and it's something I can't prepare for myself. Also assuming magic, won't contribute to ocean decline.

Perfect bowl of Pho

[–] truite@jlai.lu 8 points 6 days ago

Boiled little cubes of zucchini. No spice, no salt, nothing. It's for my cat, I have to do this all year round and it's annoying.

[–] Gustephan@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

In any quantity? Some nutritionally complete food that avoids as many allergens as possible. Probably some kind of fortified legume and veggie paste. With that kind of magical power, I'd be looking to slay one of the horsemen of the apocalypse

[–] Kn1ghtDigital@lemmy.zip 8 points 6 days ago

Pizza. Appropriate at any time, can survive off it's varieties and makes you ALWAYS the one invited to parties.

[–] krowbear@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Bibimbap. Reasonably healthy and would take me a long time to get tired of.

[–] cattywampas@midwest.social 7 points 6 days ago

A nice crusty loaf of bread.

Fresh bread is so good, doesn't stay good that long, and has a very long lead time.

[–] teolan@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Some form of vegetarian chili.

Delicious, desireable in all seasons, relatively healthy.

I wonder if the people asking for fast-food type of stuff just want to die.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Chicken tortellini soup. Everyone in the house likes it so everyone could just have a nice bowl whenever!

[–] Ceedoestrees@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

I love how wholesome your wish is.

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Birria de Res Tacos

[–] memfree@piefed.social 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Antipasto or charcuterie with grilled veg, crostini or other bread, cheese and maybe some meat (salami or such) -- but particularly grilled asparagus. Something like this: spring

summer

fall

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I just want to piggyback on this comment to say, this is the way to live. It's also an ideal way to dodge food sensitives if that's your situation. Since we're dealing with whole-foods here, and nothing has been souped, stewed, or combined in any way, everyone at the table can have something.

[–] memfree@piefed.social 3 points 6 days ago

I'd love to do it nearly-daily, but it is expensive and I typically don't have most the ingredients on-hand. Right now I have a huge amount of watermelon and a bit of salami, but no suitable cheese or veg., and it takes so much time and planning to get everything together it just doesn't happen except for large gatherings.

[–] LilB0kChoy@midwest.social 5 points 6 days ago

Two slices of cottage bread, lightly buttered on the inside with quality unsalted butter, two pieces of deli style American cheese (specifically the stuff from our local butcher but similar to Kraft Deli Select) evenly distributed in the middle.

Delicious cheese sandwich!

[–] FUCKING_CUNO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 6 days ago

Cheeseburger

[–] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 6 days ago

Freshly made, slightly warm hummus, with veggies and taboon-style pita bread.

It would be lovely to have something like steak or chicken or a tasty cheesy dish, but I would just wind up in an early grave I went with that.

[–] HatchetHaro@pawb.social 5 points 6 days ago

Döner. I got addicted to one store's döner while I was in Berlin and I've been craving it ever since, and I've been unable to find an equivalent here.

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Sliced BBQ Porkbelly in tonkotsu broth with ramen noodles, soft-medium boiled egg, green onion, bok choy, shredded carrots, corn, and enoki mushrooms served with a bottle of chilled, sweet, filtered sake.

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 5 points 6 days ago

Pragmatic answer: grilled chicken breast

Wishful answer: quiche!!!

[–] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 6 days ago

Prison escape cake, with a metal file, skeleton key and a knife baked inside.

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'm going to agree with bread. I do make bread but if it could just stay first day fresh (or second day fresh for sourdough rye) from first slice to last, that would be great.

[–] dumples@midwest.social 3 points 6 days ago

There are some fresh baked breads that I enjoy a few days after baking (basically sourdoughs) that are reheated to get warm and crispy again. But I agree. If I could have perfectly timed baked breads I would be so happy.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 6 days ago

Pizza or Lasagna. I could never get tired of either.

[–] cabillaud@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Roast chicken & french fries

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Dozen raw oysters.

12oz aged Sirloin, very rare(not blue), with truffle butter topping.

Sides: garlic heavy creamed spinach, lobster Parmesan risotto, and lightly crisp grilled Brussels sprouts.

Large bottle of Riesling.

Rotating choices of dessert.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Ohhh dear god I should not have read this while this hungry

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

How do you think I feel... I dream about it all the time.

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

The off-brand KFC run by people who barely speak English. Sometimes it's food poisoning but usually its the best chicken I've ever tasted.
