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

Birria de Res Tacos

[–] Gustephan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day 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

[–] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 day ago

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

[–] solarvector@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 day ago

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.

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!

[–] teolan@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day 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.

[–] notaviking@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

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

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day 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 1 day ago

I love how wholesome your wish is.

[–] SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Perfect bowl of Pho

[–] truite@jlai.lu 8 points 1 day 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.

Cheeseburger

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 30 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Perfect steak. Could use it in so many things, besides eating it by itself, and it'd save me so much and majorly upgrade my meals.

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.

[–] cattywampas@midwest.social 7 points 1 day 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.

[–] scytale@piefed.zip 26 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Bbq brisket. I’m not going to go through the whole process of smoking for several hours.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago

Imagine unlimited burnt ends. Mmmmmm...

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Pretty sure I would be dead within six months.

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

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Veggies and beans enchiladas verde.

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

This is the way I was going. Beans, rice, and cheese burritos, with plenty of veggies and salsa to round things out. Pretty wholesome, lots of nutrients, complete protein. You'd never starve. Enchiladas are an excellent variation.

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.

[–] cabillaud@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day 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.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 16 points 2 days ago (2 children)

buckwheat crepes stuffed with spinach, cheese, and bacon

[–] antlion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Interesting do you just sub buckwheat flour? I’ve had Ethiopian injera, which is like a sourdough Teff crèpe.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 day ago

IDK, actually. This sounds ridiculous, I know, but crepes are not something I've ever made for myself, that's part of the reason I picked them.

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

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 1 day ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day 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.

Can it constantly be just like slightly warm just out of the oven? If so then some kind of bread. Milk bread, sourdough, brioche, etc. I love a good shockingly fresh bread but making bread is such a chore

A good taco. Actually, I think the enchilada guy was right. What he said.

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

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Corndog.

I just like the idea of being able to offer a warm corndog to anyone at anytime.

[–] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

For some reason the idea of pulling a delicious smelling/looking corndog out of a pocket and handing it to a frazzled/sad random with a genuine “Hey, you don’t have to rawdog life alone — you can corndog it instead.” is like, Jesus-tier miracle shitposting.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I was imagining a hip holster or possibly a bandolier to pull them out of, but, thank you. This is the greatest compliment I have ever received.

[–] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You know, a holster is not an idea that occurred to me, but I sort of like the idea of just having like a magical holster of corn dogs.

Or like, an ankle holster. Imagine explaining that to airport security.
My personal favorite riff on the attached holder idea is one of those old school gas station change dispensers. You pull a little lever and a corn dog pops up out of one of the tubes like a spring-loaded snake. (Would have to be appropriately sized.) Maybe other tubes have condiments?

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

This just keeps getting better! 😂

A nice salad with dressing and some added things like feta cheese. It tastes good, I make it rarely because the salad package / salad head always spoils before I ate all of it, and it's one of the only foods that I like that wouldn't make me obese if it was a magically available at all times.
