I was listening to the radio on the drive to work this morning, and heard a DJ ask the following, "If you had to eat only one food for an entire week, for breakfast, for lunch and for dinner, and including any snacks, what would it be?"

I had to think long and hard on this one.

I think that there are certain foods that are fine for lunch and supper but not for breakfast. And there are foods I like for breakfast, like oatmeal, but somehow it doesn't seem to fit well as an entree for supper.

Fish - good for lunch and dinner, a bit too strong for breakfast, I'm not a fan of the lox.

Desserts - After Thanksgiving I have been known to have a piece of pie with coffee in the morning, but I don't think I could eat it all day.

Fruit, possibly if I did not have to choose just one kind. Somehow I think that would be against the rules, and I don't think I could just eat apples or pears all day, every day for a week.

I think if I had to choose, I would choose a sandwich. Probably a turkey sandwich with cheese, lettuce and tomato and mayo. I'm trying to think healthy here. I would get a protein, veggies, dairy and the little bit of fat necessary to keep my skin oh so soft. I would want to make sure that the turkey was from a freshly roasted bird, not some deli, and I would insist on a really good Swiss cheese. Vine ripened tomatos would be a must, and I want just plain old head lettuce, not some uber special greens du jour.

On second thought, I might settle for pizza. I like onion and bacon pizza. Bacon is a breakfast food after all........but I'm thinking that it probably would not go great with coffee, though. I know it goes great with wine, and that's do-able for both lunch and dinner.

OK, I've made up my mind, it's a sandwich - maybe I could vary the breads....and still be playing by the rules.

What would you pick?

I just read this while drinking my coffee, & was about to go eat my oatmeal-Now I'm hungry and thinking about what I'd like to eat all day :-). Interesting read-I'm glad you have this blog, and that I get to read it- it's almost like being old time pen pals.
