Think of it as “people kibble”. Without shame, I would eat Cheetos as my solitary food item for the rest of my life (CRUNCHY, not puffs)
Would probably go for something very practical. Water would be ideal, as I could get it pretty much anywhere for free or very cheap. Or maybe I’d go for chicken pasta salad, just to have a meal that contains a decent amount of variation.
Water
Potatoes. I can make it into whatever I want and it has never disappointed me to date.
Pizza
If I can’t vary the recipe (it needs to be the exact same every time), I’d probably live off something inoffensive and bland. Like polenta with fried eggs.
If there’s some room for variation however it got to be stew. It’s still a stew if I sub potatoes with taro. It’s still a stew if I sub the beef with chicken or fish. It’s still a stew if I change the seasoning. You get the idea, right?
Funnel Cake, or most other types of deep fat fried dough with sugar.
Tacos.
Fajitas or Mexican food in general. So flavorful and just hits a certain way.
Chicken fried steak
Chicken fried steak? How’d he manage that, then?
Ha!
If you aren’t American and haven’t tried it, give it a shot! It’s so good.

I do actually have a cookbook that contains a load of recipes. And I’m 99% sure it’s in there. It’s one that I really want to try, but, money has been quite tight and I wanted to buy something so I’ve saved for that. It’s definitely in my list for when I can afford it.
Steak is like my favourite meat. And I don’t mind friend chicken, not my favourite. But I do believe it has potential. Thank you for the link, and I’ll compare them both.
If it helps, the cut of meat you use for it is a cheap one and shouldn’t set you back much. Pretty much the only way it’s usable is by frying it. It’s not chicken, but beef. There’s also chicken fried chicken, which has a confusing name, but is just chicken cooked in the same manner as chicken fried steak.
Both are best served with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli.
Edit: I misunderstood. You know it’s not chicken. Sorry, I’m on my second beer lol. Anyway, I think you’d like both dishes. I’m from the Southern US and it’s a common food here. One of my absolute favorites.
Oh, maybe I could look for it soon then. I thought it was gonna be like a quite expensive one.
Quick question, I tried dollowing your link but it sent me to the food network homepage. So I searched for it, and I’m fairly certain I found it. But, what type of gravy is that? The only time I’ve seen gravy, the gravy is always brown. So I got a bit confused looking at a white gravy. Unless the us and uk have different gravies. But I thought it’d be universal.
All good man. Shit happens. Have one for me, yeah? I’ll definitely check both out. Thank you.
That’s just white gravy. https://www.thekitchn.com/white-gravy-recipe-23263164 make some for your mashed potatoes, too!
