Do you have any idea of the heights of imagination and achievement that are available to you?

Jeez.

Peachy said...

no.

Original Mike said...

My wife would do that.
I'm not sending her the video.

As opposed to my plan. Buy 2 lbs. of shrimp. Boil water. Cook shrimp (3 minutes). Drain. Open jar of cocktail sauce. Enjoy.

RCOCEAN II said...

That's not a meal, that's an operation.

Sounds like the kind of meal I might get if someone invites me out on their company's expense account. With the amount of labor, it has to cost hundres of dollars a person.

Doesn't look bad but I would need to stop by Waffle House to have some real dinner on the way home. That's what, about 73 calories worth of food?

Like the chi-chi wedding receptions where you would leave hungry and seek out the nearest available comfort food.

One of my superpowers is my ability to eat the same thing every day and not get bored.

"One of my superpowers is my ability to eat the same thing every day and not get bored."

Me, too.
It has really helped when I went low carb.

There should be a Chinese food version. Western and Chinese ideas of what's edible differ considerably, as a Radio Taiwan cooking show started out by saying in the 90s.

Wince said...

Reminds me of a ZZ Top song: "She want a gastronomic necklace."

Grubhub suggests new ones to me every day!

(And I’ll pretend I didn’t see the extraneous “are”.)

For some reason this makes me want to eat a Sloppy Joe.

FullMoon said...

Made it yesterday:
Substituted pineapple for corn, lobster for shrimp, fettuccini for noodles. etc.
Fantastic.

Eva Marie said...

Add ketchup and I’ll eat it.

Aggie said...

You'll starve before you finish this dollhouse meal.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

A surgeon, a jeweler and a chef walk into a bar. A real bar, not a sushi bar.

tcrosse said...

In parts of North Jersey a Sloppy Joe is a club sandwich of meat, Swiss, coleslaw, and Russian dressing on rye.

Temujin said...

Gavin Newsom’s breakfast.

ALP said...

Not nearly as impressive as Dragon's Beard candy.

ChrisSchuon said...

I would like this as folk art, but as food I think it is equal to gluttony.

Howard said...

Anal Haute Cuisine doesn't sound appetizing

FullMoon said...

"Eva Marie said...

Mayo and white bread. I'm a stereotype.

A culinary aspiration, raised or otherwise, in the medical sense, is not a good thing.

mezzrow said...

My aspirations trend to cornbread, collards, and black eyed peas and rice today. You could live on this, but be thankful you don't have to - an annual reminder. More peas = more luck.

Beasts of England said...

I love to cook, but that looks more like neurosurgery. lol

Aggie said...

Yep. Black-eyed peas with jalapenos, onions, molasses simmering on the stove, mustard greens crisping, ham ready to be glazed and cooked, cornbread standing by. Happy New Year all, Good Luck and all the best to all for 2026.

Beasts of England said...

’Black-eyed peas with jalapenos, onions, molasses simmering on the stove…’

I can dig it. :)

Joe Bar said...

I just had a chili dog. With mustard and onions.

RCOCEAN II said...

"Made it yesterday: Substituted pineapple for corn, lobster for shrimp, fettuccini for noodles. etc. Fantastic."

Reminds of so many comments responding to online receipes.

"Oh I loved this. But I substituted pork for fish, garlic for ginger, and potatoes for rice. And cut out the soy sauce. It was great!"

I have never had that kind of free time available to me.

As I often say to my partner in angry tones: "If you don't love me", just try harder."

Just an old country lawyer said...

Got to go make cornbread to take to my daughter's later for consuming with black eyed peas and collards while cheering on the Dawgs at the Sugar Bowl. Woof, woof, woof! Happy new year, friends. May God bless us, every one.

A peculiar, curated dietary culmination of the minimally Diverse food groups.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

I just made my second Matthew McConaughey tuna fish salad.

I put some new things and it's better than the first time, if i say so myself.

Beasts of England said...

Congratulations to Indiana on a blistering victory. Domination on both sides of the ball, and great coaching. Wow.

Fred Drinkwater said...

There's a subreddit for that: DIWhy

Gospace said...

Peachy said...
no.


Short and to the point. I agree.

Steak and potatoes. With varying vegetables. TBH, like many others here, I could eat the same thing almost everyday.
My go to comfort food for actually doing that has in the past been tuna casserole. Found out early on in our marriage my wife considers 2 days in a row the max for one main course. And it was the 4th day in a row of tuna casserole that caused her to mention that... And 4 in a month is overdoing it.

It looks like something Hannibal Lecter would do with food when human body parts weren't available.
