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.
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
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.
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?
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.
This is a good choice! Salads seem simple but to make it interesting involves a lot of prep. And too often you go to the fridge and the ingredients either wilted or froze, plus when you're done it's still just a salad even if it's a really good one. Being able to say, "I'd like a nice arugula with apples and maple toasted pecan bits, balsamic dressing" or maybe "How about miner's lettuce and baby red leaf, with sliced grapes, Monterey Jack, sourdough croutons and nasturtiums, and put a little toasted sesame oil in the dressing."
Turn a simple burger into a gourmet meal, and healthy too.
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
Does it have to be cooked? Some sort of really good salad with a hundred ingredients. I can cook stuff all day but prepping a really good salad is a hassle.
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:
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.
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.
I want one always ready, perfectly cooked broccoli floret magically available to me at any time. No grocery shopping or cooking required. I could be anywhere and have perfectly cooked broccoli to eat and/or share with others 😌
Chicken wings. I love a good steak, but I also enjoy cooking my own. Really good chicken wings are a pain to make. It's a no brainer, especially if I can choose the sauce for each wing.
I want to say a steak, but if I had an infinite supply of perfect steak available to me, I would probably die of a heart attack in about a year.
So instead I'll say crispy, corn-starch-battered stir fried marinated tofu. Tastes very good, and I usually fail to plan ahead for marinating it, plus the corn starch can sometimes make a mess, so having it magically made for me would be nice.
honestly, french omelette's pretty easy to make; i would pick a different style of egg that's more difficult and/or time-consuming, like tamagoyaki or omurice-style omelette.
i'm not gonna question your choice of cuisine, but a french omelette is like one of the easiest and fastest french dishes to make! personally, i'd wish for croissants.
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.
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
Burnt Ends with BBQ sauce. Now, I probably wouldn't eat everyday cause my heart probably won't be able to take it but if I'm feeling the need for meat then meat will be back on the menu, boys.
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.
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.
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.
I was going to say pizza, but this, this seems like the right answer. Drug is a loose term (at least in the US) and can encompass really anything. Caffeine is a drug.
If this dream would happen to me i would ask the genie questions on specifics and try to get something that is always edible, tasty enough to me, even when im feeling powerless or that i can also share it with vegans and allergic people (i did know a guy who was allergic to cucumbers, i cant cater to them all)
At the end it could be that i ask for (very soft and nice) water
