Sat here with a hangover, finishing off what's left of a Chinese takeaway from last night. I'm pondering a question..
If you could eat only one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
For me, it would have to be crispy duck with pancakes :-)
Would love to see others suggestions/recommendations
A Sunday roast, you also get your 5 a day with this meal
Chicken, Rice, & Beans
RIAC
Crispy beef please
Chicken fajitas for me.
McDonald's cheese burgers for me. I know there cheap 'plastic' junk but I do love them, especially when hungover!
(s)Roast beetroot with feta
(m)Porterhouse plus sides of grilled asparagus, grilled corn, creamed spinach, garlic mushrooms and mash with plenty of white pepper.
(d)Sticky toffee pudding with chilled clotted cream
Served with a cold Baltika no3 (in the proper glass, da)

Playing it safe, as I know I survived all my student years on that...
Pasta and (good quality) butter, with grated emmental.
Easy.. bangers, mash, mushy peas & gravy. Maybe even a Yorkshire pudding too. Heaven.
Poppadums with toys
Prawn Puri starter
Chicken Chilli Shaan (A hot and spicy dish cooked with a blend of 3 different types of chilli. A sun dried red chilli, bird’s eye chilli and the very hot Bangladeshi ‘Naga’.)
with garlic,chilli & coriander naan,lemon rice,tarka dhall,aloo gobi & mushroom baazi
Course,i don't think anyone else would want to be within 20 yards of me after a few days!
(it was a close run contest between this and a really good roast pork dinner with all the gubbins)
Club sandwiches. As long as the ingredients were properly fresh.
I had some crispy duck with pancakes last night, I'm with you on that one! I'd need prawn cocktail to start and my mother's hot raspberry jam/sponge/meringue pudding and a cheese board (Tunworth, Old Winchester, Blacksticks Blue, Davidstow Cheddar, maybe one or two more) to follow. All washed down with Honey Dew.
"A man of little significance"
Full English breakfast, but please, no baked-beans and no sauce of any kind.
As a bit of a foodie (I was once described as a gourmet!) and possibly one of the most indecisive people I know there's just too much to choose from, however, the first thing that sprung to mind was my Mum's beef casserole so for the purpose of this thread that's what it'll be.
Would prob be fresh sea bass but would have to be a good cheese board in there as well

If I can cheat slightly - I'll have chicken curry, but several different kinds.

Boring but chicken, rice and steamed veg!
Fresh fish (sushi, lobster, crab, scallops, oysters, prawn, etc)

Chicken jalfrezi with pilau rice for me with a garlic nan too !
Would have to be a nice spicy curry for me, with a good bottle of red wine...
I'd like to say something (in fact several things) from Man Vs Food though would fear an early death.
Full English please! the :full: fat cholesterol bomb with sausages, bacon, x2 eggs, toms, mushrooms, black pudding, fried bread & builders tea
Far too many things that I like, but if pressed, it would be:
Starter - spaghetti with olive oil, chilli & garlic
Main - calves liver cooked medium with butter & sage (or plain grilled with onion gravy), mashed potato, couple of strips of crispy bacon
No desert course
Cheese - Epoisses, cambozola and Roquefort with crusty French loaf, grapes and fresh figs
Mmmm, making myself hungry
Steak frites from my local, the red wine sauce they have on it is to die for or if I had it 3 times a day for ever probably die of, but it would be a happy way to go
Lamb Biryani,
Rice and Peas and Oxtail (Jamaican Style),
Burger King Whopper meals...
New York strip steak, grilled asparagus and cheddar mash. Followed by (if I have room) either key lime pie or toffee and pecan roulade.
Either my 12 hour pulled pork, smoked low n slow on applewood or smoked ribs over mesquite.
Can't beat proper BBQ, after having 'indoor' low n slow ribs for NYE due to the weather I can't wait to get grilling again.
Have to be my mothers Braised Steak and onion rice. The Fillet is browned then cooked in a port, madeira and mushroom sauce, served on the onion rice which is almost like a light risotto. Yum
+1
Also, even though I have always regarded myself as something of an epicure and enjoyed many expensive eateries, i have to say that the food I could happily gorge myself to death on is fried chicken wings.
When we find ourselves over in the States, i have to show great strength in only ordering a "small" portion of wings.... :-)
The Garlic Chicken Madras I had last night would be very high on the list, though if I ate what I had last night every day I would likely be dead by next new year! ;-)
Liver and caramelised onions, mash and roast asparagus.
Home made bangers ...
As a Scotsman it has to be a fry up for me. Bacon (crispy), black pudding, mushrooms, potato scone, fruit pudding and lots of eggs (runny - the kind that ejaculate when you stick a knife in !), pork Lorne sausage with a wee bit of tomato sauce and lots of thickly buttered toast. Washed down with strong Colombian coffee. Heaven !! Oh, and once the bacon is cooked and on the plate then pour the fatty residue from the pan over everything. Marvelous.

I think I read somewhere that the only food that you could survive on indefinitely without any adverse effects due to vitamin or mineral deficiancies was coconut, I'm not sure you would want to live too long after a few weeks.
I also spent some time in the Maldives with curry for breakfast, lunch and dinner and thought I had died and gone to heaven for a few days but this soon wore off and after a few days I was sick of it and didn't even want to eat.
In the spirit of the thread I would go for chicken patia, peas pilau and peshwari nan washed down with a couple of pints of kingfisher.
The miso soup I ate once in Osaka. It was amazing.
That's easy-Pez. Cherry- flavored Pez.
In all seriousness. Grilled chicken breast, steamed green beans/broccoli/spinach
Fillet steak and eggs with mixed veg, (add rice, chips and potatoes in varying amounts), probably and some kind of sauce with either cheese or cream in to taste - that and a pint of milk (chocolate milk sometimes maybe) and maybe add a multi-vitamin to each meal for good measure. I could survive on that for every meal, every day, and be sure to have virtually everything I needed. I love cakes and starters etc. - but I'd rather have fillet steak and milk than almost anything else.
It's just a matter of time...
Fillet steak with lots of fried onions, mushrooms, peppercorn sauce and thick cut chips
Okay, I'm a weirdo but... veggie bacon, scrambled eggs, tinned tomatoes, veggie sausages, mushrooms, 4 slices of toast and 1 slice of fried bread. Loads of salt and pepper and a pint of coke. Could (can) eat that every meal, every day for the rest of my life. Yumm.
Bugger, hungry now.
Hainanese steamed chicken rice with sweet ginger soy sauce and stir fried asparagus...
Cripes, I'm hungry now!!!
