Grilled cheese + tomato soup
Grilled ham & cheese toasties, 15m fresh tomato soup pre-cut kit from the supermarket
I love tomato soup, but I barely have any chance to eat it - the folks here outright despise it, they call it “soggy sauce”.
The townsfolk are stopping you from eating tomato soup?
By “folks” I mean my family. There are a few dishes that I can only prepare for myself, as I know that they won’t eat; tomato soup is one of them. (Alongside beet soup, pickled eggs, onigiri [unless my nephew is here, he loves onigiri too], curry sauce for sausages…).
Or V8
Bread. If I wake up and I’m having a bad day, I buy a fresh-baked loaf of bread and eat it. That’s my meal for the day. It’s quite fantastic. Whoever invented bread in Mesopotamia or Egypt or wherever deserves the god-kingship they doubtlessly acquired for it.
Anything spicy with rice 😌
Fluffy white rice 😋
Basmati is the best!!

Kebab is kind of the signature food for when I want to just be with myself lol
Noodle soup. I know it’s a cliche but there is just something about eating it piping hot with a nice ceramic spoon.

Is that hard to make?

I looked the recipe for Chongqing hot pot. I get why you’d crave it, and why you call it a nightmare to make - it sounds delicious and laborious, that sort of recipe that you’d be typically either the one preparing it or eating it, not both.

Oh yes, I definitely meant fen zheng rou.
A pint of Ben & Jerry’s. Doesn’t even really matter what flavor. (I will be eating one later tonight.)
Chicken livers, fried eggs, and toasted bread. I don’t eat this combo often as it’s a caloric bomb, but it’s great when I’m really stressed.
Fruit snacks if I want something sweet.
Chicken nuggets and tater tots if I want salty and savory
In a perfect world where I have the energy to cook after a rough day, I’d love homemade chicken stock with carrots, celery, ginger, garlic, potatoes, onion, thyme and Peppers with a little bit of lemon. Pair this with a nice sourdough bread and a glass of lemonade.
In reality: Diet Coke and a bag of chips because I don’t have to cook any of those.
Fattest greasiest breakfast I can buy nearby. In college I would get the comically american large pancake/proteins + hash brown diner combo before a final and food coma my way through the stress. The place always had a fully decked topping bar so smother that shit in whipped butter and syrup. Calorie bomb helped me focus I think, and I didn’t have any money in school so it was also my treat for getting through the quarter.
Vegan buffalo chik’n wings. They’re really good!
I had amazing cauliflower wings once, haven’t been able to recreate them.
Love those!
