food or drink you just could not give up

@Weasel and Ysh lol!

Well...I try to moderate my intake somewhat.....usually I just have two, strong, black cups in the morning, and it is only rarely that I have it during the rest of the day, excepting the occasional espresso after dinner. But even though I don't drink that much of the stuff I really am useless if I miss my morning jolt of caffeine..

arabica beans, freshly ground...and brewed in a French press.....Mmmmm

I drink rather a lot of coffee, however i have given it up in the past for many months but discovered that it didn't change anything... they reckon that coffee can actually be beneficial and also is a good pain killer

For a majority of people, a couple of cups of coffee per day is not at all unhealthy.

Hm, I can't really think of any food and beverage I couldn't live without...may be because I travelled for long periods when I was younger, so I had to get used to eating totally different food for several months at the time. I found it very difficult not to be able to eat fresh fruit and drink juice, but you get used to that too after a few weeks.

I'm with CE here, there is nothing I couldn't live without, things I like a lot though are bagels, chicken, fish and fresh fruit. So long as I had one of those, I'd be fine

Yes, whereever you are there is always something that's good to eat

Almost - when I was out on longer expeditions and only had dry food, I sometimes missed more or less any fresh food, but on the other hand you're always so hungry during those circumstances so it doesn't matter a lot what you eat.

Also, I once was in a situation where the only avalible food was fin whale. Not only is it emotionally unpleasant to eat a fin whale since they are highly intelligent, social and sympatic creatures

it's also not very nice to have fin whale for breakfast, lunch and dinner week in and week out.

Rice. Every day of my life, I have at least one meal with rice.

Well I haven't quite found anything specific yet. But bacon .........mmmmmmmmm *drool*

I try to cut my bacon consuming into once a week now - I substitute bacon with fish these days. As coffee, I prefer tea than coffee I mostly drink chinese tea; I love the bitter taste of it

. As for cakes, I surely can't resist cheese cake (Do I sounds like Garfield ?

)

@Maharlika : I knew it ! You're one of those regular fast food eater.

@Sleep : Better cut that lettuce diet a bit. Lettuce can induce gasseous problem on your stomach, and have something related with reumathism

@Mr. Fibble : Curry ? What kind of curry ? I used to be a curry freak at 6th grade

ANY curry! Prefer Rogan Josh and Tikka Masala. Hotter ones just don't have any discernable flavour due to the heat.

Strongest curry I've had so far was a lamb vindaloo that took over 3 hours to eat. Was insanely hot. Went through a lot of 'liquid relief' due to that one.

Simple really, Lasagna

I tend to eat out now, that my studies have become a bit hectic. Tuesday's special is Lasagna. Slowly wasting away a small fortune but damnit if I'm even going to contemplate removing it from my weekly lunch.

You should try my mum's lasagna...it's incredibly good. I ususally just eat to avoid starving to death, but this lasagna is really yummy.

Coffee and red bull are the only things which prevent me from dying from sleep deprivation
