whence free will in the land of tuna cassoulet

if you could have only one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?

my first answer is - maple sugar candy!! woopwoop! but i realize that firstly this would get a mite boring and secondly i would quickly rot all my teeth and die of a sugar overdose. so, that will not do.

only one food? and, it is cheating to say "pizza with a tuna sammich with a salad with a pop tart on top" because that is not one food. that is a bunch of foods so that answer is disqualified.

pizza, however, might be a good choice. i'd probably get something like ham & pineapple & chicken & mushrooms & green peppers & black olives & sun dried tomatoes & artichokes & feta cheese... and then i could pick off some of the toppings and leave on some other toppings and change it up so that it would be kind of different every time. salad would also afford this type of flexibility.

i think i could eat tuna casserole every day, but what if i had to eat it every day? breakfast, lunch, and supper?

well, how about this - what if you had to pick one breakfast, one lunch, and one supper, and you could only have those every single day until the end of time? without piling a bunch of foods into one meal like oatmealyogurtquichetoast. hmm.... i think for breakfast i'd go with a cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese and a banana. for lunch, a turkey sammich on wheat with lettuce and cheese and pickle, and some sun chips, and some vanilla snackwells. for supper... i'd go with an asiago cheese bagel and tuna casserole and cottage cheese with olives and some maple-sugar-candy-corn-chess-pie.

would i choose the same things tomorrow? well, probably not, but then... the whole point is that i wouldn't have a choice tomorrow. i wonder if anything would taste good, if you didn't have a choice, or if you wouldn't even enjoy your favorite things anymore simply because they were all you had. kinda like being married.

ppfahahaha!!
