It's a desert island kind of query and some of you are straying into box set territory.

Sushi is an interesting question. I could go for that too.

I said pizza yet a lot of things can go on top.

We may need a mediator.

I'm surprised no one said 'bread'.



If we're talking about a Desert Island....then, fish/sushi it is. ;)

I usually cook them in chicken stock and add carrots. The secret is not to cook them until they're mushy but just to the point of al dente.


I like lentils, but I can only remember one way my mom prepared them when I was a kid, and that's pretty much the only way I eat them to this day at home. As a soup (I think with a little garlic) and topped with sour cream and sliced banana.

Oh yeah, Sergio, lentils make killer soup.

This thread has me vexed. I can't think of any single food I would want to eat forever.

If I HAD to choose one, it would be linguini with seafood (zuppa da pesce over linguini).

Mussels, shrimp, scallops, clams, and red snapper in a pomodoro sauce, served over lunguini.

And yes I would break the rule and grate fresh locatelli romano over it, generously.

And a nice Chianti.

I get soybeans as my one food and you get that? No fair! :?
Surely not all of a sudden. Less than half of a sudden at best.
