At the end of his life, my grandpa subsisted on 2 pints of strawberry banana yoplait yogurt and a pack of Coors light a day. What dietary hell will you fall into?

I'm never upset with a decent burger

My grandpa drank 14 cans of Diet Pepsi and a box of Milkbone dog treats when he had the Alzheimer's.

They are kinda dry.

Chips & Salsa
Hagan Däz Dulce de Leche ice cream

As you hear the words "goodnight sweet prince", you take your final bite of the Däz.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Don’t get the one with churro. Not even close to as good.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I love that flavor of ice cream. I’m pissed though, my local Wawa doesn’t carry it anymore

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Little Debbie Zebra Cakes all day long.

Thats what I'm talkin' about.

And I bet this time you recieved blood before you got them

My dad ate a ding dong a drank a Pepsi every single day for decades. He's going strong at 85, but it was the stones that made him quit

When I'm senile? Ice cream sandwiches. I'd have forgotten I'm lactose intolerant, God be with the poor soul taking care of me.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Obligatory OP comment:

I'd probably drink PBR Xtra and the Cookies and Cream ice cream from Aldi all day and then croak.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Big gallon bucket of cookies and cream ice cream from aldis is a godsend.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Chicken flavor Maruchan Ramen. I would eat that shit every day If I didn't gain 5 pounds per ounce of any carbs I consume.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

That’s one of the few gluten laced things I will gladly sacrifice for. I boil the seasoning right in the water and add garlic and Asian hot spices in it.

Feel like shit for it- but WORTH IT!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Sometimes being my flavor of neuro divergent really sucks lmao. I do not have a favorite food. I don't even really have a favorite flavor. I don't even like to drink coffee multiple days a week, which is why I have a cabinet with 30 odd types of teas and tisanes.

I don't even have a favorite texture or flavor profile of food. I definitely prefer bitter and spicy to sweet, but that's about it. And I find the act of eating comforting in itself, but I have nothing I can point to as a comfort food.

Diet Pepsi (specifically from the individual bottles, the other taste different to me) and bagged popcorn. If LesserEvil isn't out of business, you'll find me mummified under their pink salt popcorn. Don't weep, for it will mean I went with a joyous heart ~~and probably choking on a kernal~~.

Farofa with nuts! (It's actually tasty. Specially with walnuts, bacon, and raisins. I wouldn't be preparing it if senile though - I'd completely forget about Christmas.)

Do the candy corns melt into the pizza?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

You eat the candy corn woke you wait for the delivery or oven.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If I'm still able to cook, almost certainly pierogi.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

What do you like to fill them with?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I make two types. One that is filled with mashed potatoes with a little bit of cheese and one that is filled with a sauerkraut and mushroom mixture.

Mini-peirogi

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I’d hope I get stuck on Drumstick ice cream with the hard shell chocolate

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Probably pop tarts and diet coke

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I eat less and less the older I get. I feel like eventually, I will be able to sustain myself on air alone.

There's a religion for that, Breatharianism

The only thing any workingmam needs for any meal is a nice hot pasty.

Give me that and a drink or two, I shall die happy as my forebears before me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

The cheapest insect based product, hopefully.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

No idea and hope to die before then as I have seen the progress on this and would not wish it on anyone.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

So much oatmeal. I love oatmeal.

I've got a lemonade recipe that I will happily be "forgetting" I already made a batch of for the rest of my life.

I call it the Swiss Lion, and it's creamy fruity lemony goodness.

Zest a small bag of lemons, 4 to 5, then peel the lemons and reserve the zest with the lemon flesh.

Get a box of strawberries and chop off the tops before cutting up and tossing in with the zest and lemon flesh.

Get a cup of cane sugar, and pour it into the bowl before tossing the whole mess together as much as possible, then spread it into a baking pan.

Either hit it with a kitchen torch, or slap it under the broiler for 2 minutes.

Toss it all in the blender with 2 cups of chilled water and give it just enough pulses to get it all combined together.

Strain it into a bowl, then strain it again back into the blender.

Add in 1 to 3 cans of sweetened condensed milk to desired consistency, and cane sugar to taste.

Blend it all together one more time with a handful of ice cubes and voilà.

Swiss because the sweetened condensed milk and zest are from what's called a Brazilian Lemonade, but what the Brazilians call a Limonada Suisse, and Lion because the Strawberries Cane Sugar and Torch come from Detroit (lions) 75 Kitchen Lemonade.

Why in the world would you include the lemon pith? Or is that not what you mean by "lemon flesh"?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You'd be surprised how many recipes use a bit of rind.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I can imagine, but it only adds bitterness. Seems counterproductive for this application.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Cold brew coffee and salted peanuts.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Buffalo chicken sandwich, beer

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Hopefully Chivas Regal and cocaine

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Is this federating?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Fresh apples and lots of sweets.

Now that I think about it, maybe I could even survive on that :-)
