If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life

Pizza Here's the question: if you had to choose only one food that you had to eat for the rest of your life, what would it be? Now, for the sake of this little inquiry, let's assume that you can eat the same food for every meal for the rest of your life without having any medical problems, and you won't get any weird stares from family and friends. And money is no object either. What would you pick?

I'm a guy so my answer is obvious: pizza!

If I had a choice it would be between pizza and a dessert, there are so manychoices I think I would have to go with cheesecake like they have at a place i buy mine from http://www.thedessertcafe.com I have tried so many times to make a decent cheesecake but it never happens so I am giving up.

I ALWAYS feel splurgingly naughty for eating it!

Probably chirashi. It's got to have a good assortment of fish though. Saba, maguro, toro, tai, sake, hamachi, unagi, anago, with ikura and uni on the side. Yup. I could have that meal all the time.

For the sake of the question, though, I'd say cheeseburgers. That was the only pregnant craving I had with my son. Good, juicy cheeseburgers with bacon and sauteed mushrooms. Yeah...don't have to be pregnant for that to sound good!

You know, if you're going to choose something that lets you get away with as much on it as pizza (and then go ahead and just leave it as general as "pizza," with no specifics about what species of pizza), then I'm going to cheat big and say "salad..." You could realistically put a whole heck of a lot of things on a salad (and besides, I do love a yummy salad... chef, chop chop, potato, gotcha).

It was either that or Space Food Sticks. Not because I actually want to live on Space Food Sticks. But if you pressed me for something I haven't had since I was a kid that I just had to have again before I died? Space Food Sticks wins.
