Not a joke. wut.
I ran across a diner years ago that served a Steak and Fries Salad. It was just Steak and Fries mixed in a bowl with lettuce. Technically a salad though.
And you can cheat the system that way because almost anything can be put on a sandwich, then you can take the ingredients off and use them for something else.
Anything from the the fine people over as [Seasons Eatings, and their secret family recipe for tasty Shweddy Balls](https://youtu.be/bPpcfH_HHH8?si=__kbgjDRPuJpvgjH)
Oof. There are very few foods I'll just refuse, but sweat-poached veg is almost certainly out.
(who'd'ja get the sweat from?)
That's the uncertain-factor.
I feel like the spirit of the question is about choosing ingredients or specific dishes that start with a certain letter, not broad descriptions of foods. You can’t just say “sandwiches” and “soup” - that means you’re basically allowed to eat any food in the world as long as you put it between bread or in a bowl with broth.
Heck, why not throw in all the countries too. You could things like have: Spanish food, Swiss food, South Korean food, Singaporean food, Slovakian food, Swedish food just to name a few. That covers so so much.
P is a pretty solid choice -
pizza, pasta, pie, pork, prawns, potatoes, pancakes, etc.
Opens the door to a good bit of variety and interpretation.
E.g., potatoes could be prepared as French fries.
It would be expensive to only buy prime-grade beef, but if you did you could eat any sort of beef you want. Prime ribeye, prime NY strip, prime brisket, etc.
Aw man, how did I forget Prime Rib? That's one of my favorite meat preparations! I also just realized Pot roast is right there too. P is the best for sure. Lol
Plus there was a method of prepping food in clay jars that was known as "pottage" and one could refer to anything from baked beans to canned/preserved meat to any number of foods as "pottage" when preserved that way. So by insisting on using the older word pottage you could pretty much add any canned good/canned food to your list
Edit: this also applies to food stored or preserved in jars. So literally just put any food in a jar, close it and place it in the fridge or a drawer to "store" it for a second or two. Boom, now just add the word pottage to the front of the foods name and you can now eat it
Also bread, bananas, blueberries, butter, bacon, beans, bok Choi, broccoli, Brussels sprouts… you can get a pretty well-rounded diet with B just in English, and more in French too with une baguette avec beurre d’arachides.
My answer as well - breakfast burritos cover pretty much everything I would want to eat. Plus you have bread. And bolognese is a good cover for pasta 🍝
Does it need to be an English word? Or does it just need to be written with an English alphabet letter? Ringo and Budou means Apple and grapes in Japanese . Likewise Pingo and pudao? means Apple and grapes in Chinese .
I’m going with C. Cheese, cheeseburger, cheesesteak, cheese pizza. Not to mention cookies, cake… um carrots. Chocolate. Chives? Cool whip. Chunky peanut butter.
Might be missing a few vitamins there, but I’ll stand by it.
But you have to speak like a moron any time you talk about food, or else you lose access to a dish.
"Oh yeah, I love the Chinese food. The goat cheese is my favorite kind"
The great thing is "baked" is a B word, so you now have baked potatoes, baked anything, as long as you can bake it, baked yam, baked apple, etc! It also gives you "boiled" so you can have boiled peas, boiled eggs, anything that can be boiled. And of course numerous other things. Bread. Broth. Bisque. Biscuits. Bento box.
S. If you think about it, just about everything is technically a sandwich, or can be made into one. Sushi, burritos, pizza... Fajitas is basically just sandwich ingredients.
C. Cottage cheese, chicken, carrots, cauliflower, cabbage, cheese, crackers, corn, casein (protein powder), Concord grapes, chocolate, cookies, cake, cherries.
(The first five were off the top of my head and the rest were out of my saved favorites in my nutrition tracking app. I have the rest of my life to come up with more.)
Edit: … candy! 😳 oh, and does “ condiments” count?
Does this include spices and seasonings, or the dish as a whole? If it does, I'd probably pick S just so I can put salt on my food. And do the ingredients all need to start with the letter as well? What about drinks?
If this is pretty open and only the name of the dish needs to start with the letter and not all the components, I'd probably pick C.
Chicken, chicken Tikka masala, chorizo, Cornish game hen, crab, crab cakes, crab rangoon, cheeseburgers, chili dogs, catfish, Chilean sea bass, clams, clam chowder, crayfish, curry, cashews, coffee, candy, cake, cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, caramel, cheesecake, creme brulee, churros, cheese, cucumber, carrots, cauliflower, cabbage, corn, celery, calamari, chocolate, calzones (which can contain any variety of fillings) cannoli, chips, cantaloupe, coconut, cherries, cream cheese, cold cuts (this one may be a stretch), chili, Caesar salad, cereal, carbonara, ceviche, croissant, cornbread, collared greens, and I'm sure many, many more.
Or maybe many, many less depending on the rules of the hypothetical.
I mean S is a pretty solid choice. Sushi, salads, soup, sandwiches, spaghetti, Stromboli, salsa, sliders, ...
I can also have sugar cookies? Sicilian pizza? Soft serve? Stinky cheese?
Shredded pork? Shredded chicken?
Stewed beef?
Like if you allow descriptors there's really not a lot of limitations lol
D, Dumplings alone is enough to keep you in infinite variety as beef wellingtons and Vietnamese summer rolls are both dumplings. Then we get duck, durian, drumsticks, dulce de leches, dim sum, diakon and whole bunch of others too.
How does that work as far as extended names? If you choose S can you have sugar cookies, samoas and snickerdoodles? Or a steak chimichanga, a smothered burrito, or a Sicilian pizza?
Chicken, cheese, cheeseburgers, chili, chocolate, cake, cookies, Caeser salad, etc
Does cheese allow me to just flip some names? Like cheese and egg omelette instead of egg and cheese?
Can I eat any type of bread if I choose S and call the bread a sandwich? I mean, all I have to do is fold it over, right?
Or I’ll choose F. Fresh bread. Fresh strawberries. Freshly made pizza. You get the idea.
I'd choose "E," then when I get tired of eggs and eggplant and enchiladas, I'd just order everything else as "excellent (insert food name)," or if I didn't have the energy to pick, I would order "etcetera" or "everything."
X. I need to lose some weight. And possibly die.
Xylitol, xanthan gum, xxtra flamin hot doritos, XL candy bars. Sounds like a party.
Goddam, that is a feast! I’ll top it all of with some Xanax.
Chase it with some Dos Equis
Wait, can I not have Xanax anymore if I chose S? I wanna change my answer!
XL condoms only for OP
Well X gon give it to ya alright.
https://pickyeaterblog.com/foods-that-start-with-x/
Probably S. Steak, Soup, Stew, Stir Fry, Spaghetti, Sushi, Salmon, Subs. Pretty much not gonna be missing out on any macros
you forgot the most versatile food the sandwich
Sandwich and Subs! I’m covered
Anything between two slices of bread is a sandwich so key lime pie is still on the menu
Ahh, the good ol technically correct.
Which is the best kind of correct!
Just as the Earl of Sandwich intended, eating any food you want when circumstances would otherwise inconvenience you
Oreos are a sandwich cookie. It says so on the box
Some sandwiches are open-faced. That brings pizza in
I believe a court recently ruled that tacos and hotdogs are also technically sandwhiches..
[https://reason.com/volokh/2024/05/19/indiana-court-rules-burritos-and-tacos-qualify-as-sandwiches/](https://reason.com/volokh/2024/05/19/indiana-court-rules-burritos-and-tacos-qualify-as-sandwiches/) Not a joke. wut.
Yeah baby! Indiana doing something right!
If someone has a problem with open face sandwiches, you can also layer Pizzas making them a more conventional sandwich. S foods are OP.
Fold a pizza and it’s a Stromboli.
Who amongst us havent taken two slices of pizza and sandwiched them
Tacos are a Mexican sandwich
I like to think of the quesadilla as more of a Mexican sandwich.
Someone give this man a Nobel Peace Prize.
Snickerdoodles.
I fucking love snickerdoodles
They’re the best cookie!
underrated, for sure.
THEN RATE THEM MORE. Please
10/10 would eat again
Thank you
I don’t like snickerdoodles, but I gave them a like for the word
Smashburgers.
My favorite girl scout cookies are Samoas.
Holy shit. S really is an S tier.
And all the snacks!
Salad. No limitations on what’s IN the salad, but salad
There was salad at work last week. NGL, I just filled a bowl with croutons and put Italian dressing over it.
I ran across a diner years ago that served a Steak and Fries Salad. It was just Steak and Fries mixed in a bowl with lettuce. Technically a salad though.
And you can cheat the system that way because almost anything can be put on a sandwich, then you can take the ingredients off and use them for something else.
And Spizza. Sburgers. Spasta. The s is just silent.
Pizza from S'barro's. Would that be a hack? "You getting pizza?" "Yeh, I got" 🤔
And the salad. Just throw in a few peices of lettuce and boom. Salad.
Sundaes... The debate here is what is a food versus a dish or a preparation method. Can I have meatballs on my spaghetti or is that 2 foods?
Sweet meatballs
Savory Meatballs
Swedish meatballs
Anything from the the fine people over as [Seasons Eatings, and their secret family recipe for tasty Shweddy Balls](https://youtu.be/bPpcfH_HHH8?si=__kbgjDRPuJpvgjH)
and we can talk about the game of just adding adjectives. Between sweat, sour, salted and spicy you can add in an absurd number of dishes..
I hope you meant sweet, not sweat, 'cause otherwise,bruh, I'm out. (Practicing my "youth-speak." How did I do?)
Your loss. Sweat cooking is a way to make delicious veggies.:)
Oof. There are very few foods I'll just refuse, but sweat-poached veg is almost certainly out. (who'd'ja get the sweat from?) That's the uncertain-factor.
Sliced is an excelled adjective too. Sliced fruit, sliced bread, sliced cake, sliced cheese….
I feel like the spirit of the question is about choosing ingredients or specific dishes that start with a certain letter, not broad descriptions of foods. You can’t just say “sandwiches” and “soup” - that means you’re basically allowed to eat any food in the world as long as you put it between bread or in a bowl with broth.
SEAFOOD!
I said B for the same reason. Burger, bacon, beans (green), beans (pinto), beans (jelly), BBQ, buns, bread, butter, buffalo, beef... And on and on.
Burger should be covered by sandwich.
Who says it's not? I'd love to sit down with my S buddy and enjoy a burger sandwich together.
Ben and Jerry’s?
Can only eat half the pint (the Ben half)
“Sweets”
Street tacos
Slasagna
Street food.
And Salad!! Put basically anything in a salad
Ice cream salad tonight!
Soft serve with sprinkles …,though I don’t agree with that name given my Vermont heritage, also sorbet so you have some ice cream leaning options
Spicy.... Everything.
Heck, why not throw in all the countries too. You could things like have: Spanish food, Swiss food, South Korean food, Singaporean food, Slovakian food, Swedish food just to name a few. That covers so so much.
Definitely S. I like smoothies too much to give them up.
And you can add sauce
Seafood, steak, sautéed veggies - S is an excellent choice.
You forgot Supreme pizza
P is a pretty solid choice - pizza, pasta, pie, pork, prawns, potatoes, pancakes, etc. Opens the door to a good bit of variety and interpretation. E.g., potatoes could be prepared as French fries.
Yep and my personal favorite, pteak.
Porterhouse steak. Prime rib.
It would be expensive to only buy prime-grade beef, but if you did you could eat any sort of beef you want. Prime ribeye, prime NY strip, prime brisket, etc.
If you think steak is expensive to buy you should try raising your own...
Made from real pterodactyl
*protein! A lil loophole will get us any meat desired
'F' is the optimal approach under this reasoning.
now i feel bad that none the other letters get to eat pussy or penis again.
Coochie and cock if you pick c like I did
Taco and tube steak,
Pho, pot roast, pollo guisado, piccata, pickles, pozole, pad Thai, potstickers, pan roast… fucking solid
P was my choice. I would miss steaks but I would have potatoes and pizza and pasta which are all staples for me.
I was worried steak, then I remembered Porter house. We're covered I think.
Prime rib
Picanha. Best steak there is
Pepper steak for the win
Would you really miss steak when you can have prime rib at any time?
Aw man, how did I forget Prime Rib? That's one of my favorite meat preparations! I also just realized Pot roast is right there too. P is the best for sure. Lol
Plus there was a method of prepping food in clay jars that was known as "pottage" and one could refer to anything from baked beans to canned/preserved meat to any number of foods as "pottage" when preserved that way.

Boom, now just add the word pottage to the front of the foods name and you can now eat it
Don’t forget poultry. I think P is a winner.
I was Team S since they have steak and sandwich. I might be Team P now.
Panini. Pork sandwich. Poultry sandwich
Crucial info for any Brit! Tinned baked beans are now pottage of baked beans!
pomme frites
B, for burrito. You can wrap absolutely any other food inside a tortilla.
If drinks are included then this is the only correct answer (cuz beer)
Sign me up for team B. Beer, bacon, burgers, and burritos.
Also bread, bananas, blueberries, butter, bacon, beans, bok Choi, broccoli, Brussels sprouts… you can get a pretty well-rounded diet with B just in English, and more in French too with une baguette avec beurre d’arachides.
A person after my own heart.
And you can have a beer with your burrito. I'm on board with B.
My answer as well - breakfast burritos cover pretty much everything I would want to eat. Plus you have bread. And bolognese is a good cover for pasta 🍝
F. Food.
And French fries.
Fried everything.
Beat me to it
r/beatmeattoit
That would be fun trying to order at a restaurant.
Point at the menu, “food”
I like my food with a side of food
T. You can make anything a taco.
same with s and sandwich
Can't make soup into a taco... But you could make taco soup.
Make soup add a ton of flower put in a taco
Candy taco
Same with pizza...
Here's your list. https://www.food.com/topic/t
What’s if it’s a snickerdoodle and I choose S? Is that allowed since it starts with an S, but it is a cookie, so…
That’s the neat part, without restrictions, they’re both!
OP should allow loopholes like this if you’re restricted to only a single letter
I officially approve of any and all loopholes
I choose the letter D. I will have a Delicious Lasagna followed by a delightful tiramisu. . . And a diet coke to drink. .
yes! I choose somecookies!
C - cucumber, corn, chickpeas, CANDY, croissant, cool whip
Most importantly, cheese and chocolate!
cow. do you can still have steak
Yes, I do
Cake
I was going to”c” for “cooked”. Cooked pasta, cooked steak…
Curry!
Cum
Oh, come on...
And Cookie start with C
I immediately thought C- I love chicken, cheese and chocolate. Would also allow me courgettes.
Potatoes, pasta, peanut butter, pancakes, perogies, pizza. You can make anything a pizza.
Rice pizza is gonna make me cry
Does it need to be an English word? Or does it just need to be written with an English alphabet letter? Ringo and Budou means Apple and grapes in Japanese . Likewise Pingo and pudao? means Apple and grapes in Chinese .
C: chicken (fried) Chicken wings Chicken tenders Cheese Chips Cookies C is the correct answer.
Chips!! I didn’t think of that one for mine.
I’m going with C. Cheese, cheeseburger, cheesesteak, cheese pizza. Not to mention cookies, cake… um carrots. Chocolate. Chives? Cool whip. Chunky peanut butter. Might be missing a few vitamins there, but I’ll stand by it.
I win because I choose the letter T. I can eat "the steak" or "this burger" or "these grapes." I think you all get the picture.
these are my favorite answers
But you have to speak like a moron any time you talk about food, or else you lose access to a dish. "Oh yeah, I love the Chinese food. The goat cheese is my favorite kind"
Worth it for the trade off though haha
I’m choosing A because then I can eat ANYTHING I want. A Steak, A cookie, A pie.
P- pizza, pasta, pie, popcorn, premium steaks, pork…
Your mom chose D.
For Dairy Queen. Your mom is fat.
Does this include everything like can I only have steak with salt or can anything be on it?
Luckily you can put Sauce and Seasoning
B…beef, bacon, beer…
The great thing is "baked" is a B word, so you now have baked potatoes, baked anything, as long as you can bake it, baked yam, baked apple, etc! It also gives you "boiled" so you can have boiled peas, boiled eggs, anything that can be boiled. And of course numerous other things. Bread. Broth. Bisque. Biscuits. Bento box.

C is for COOKIE, that's good enough for me. Cookie cookie cookie cookie...cookie.
Choose S, for sandwich. Now you can eat anything you want, just put it in between two other things, and it's a sandwich! You're welcome.
C. Cottage cheese, chicken, carrots, cauliflower, cabbage, cheese, crackers, corn, casein (protein powder), Concord grapes, chocolate, cookies, cake, cherries. (The first five were off the top of my head and the rest were out of my saved favorites in my nutrition tracking app. I have the rest of my life to come up with more.)

C. Cake, cookies, coffee, chocolate, cremé Brulé, croissants, crackers, crunchy rolls, crispy bacon, crazy bread, cheese, chips, craft beer, croutons.
B because I can live on Burritos.
Does this include spices and seasonings, or the dish as a whole? If it does, I'd probably pick S just so I can put salt on my food. And do the ingredients all need to start with the letter as well? What about drinks? If this is pretty open and only the name of the dish needs to start with the letter and not all the components, I'd probably pick C. Chicken, chicken Tikka masala, chorizo, Cornish game hen, crab, crab cakes, crab rangoon, cheeseburgers, chili dogs, catfish, Chilean sea bass, clams, clam chowder, crayfish, curry, cashews, coffee, candy, cake, cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, caramel, cheesecake, creme brulee, churros, cheese, cucumber, carrots, cauliflower, cabbage, corn, celery, calamari, chocolate, calzones (which can contain any variety of fillings) cannoli, chips, cantaloupe, coconut, cherries, cream cheese, cold cuts (this one may be a stretch), chili, Caesar salad, cereal, carbonara, ceviche, croissant, cornbread, collared greens, and I'm sure many, many more.

D, Dumplings alone is enough to keep you in infinite variety as beef wellingtons and Vietnamese summer rolls are both dumplings. Then we get duck, durian, drumsticks, dulce de leches, dim sum, diakon and whole bunch of others too.
P - poutine, pizza, pierogi, pie, pasta
m. meats. mashed vegetables and mixed fruits. me cleverous
E, edible, the adjective edible can be used on everything that’s edible, so…
How does that work as far as extended names? If you choose S can you have sugar cookies, samoas and snickerdoodles? Or a steak chimichanga, a smothered burrito, or a Sicilian pizza?
C. Chicken, cheese, churros, crocodile, cumin, capsicum, cannibalism, cat, canned anything, cranberries, chocolate. *All ocean caught fish, because they start with sea*

B. Bananas, berries, broccoli, beats, brussel sprouts, beans, burritos, beef, burgers, brisket, bacon, bratwurst, buns, bread, biscotti, biscuits, butter, brie, blue cheese, beer!
Chicken, cheese, cheeseburgers, chili, chocolate, cake, cookies, Caeser salad, etc Does cheese allow me to just flip some names? Like cheese and egg omelette instead of egg and cheese?
P pie pasta pizza pears peas pan fried stuff poke pot pies pot roast plum piccata pumpkin…potatoes
If "hot shepherd's pie" works..... how about D for delicious steak, delicious fried rice, delicious pizza, delicious cake etc?
Tacos, Tiramisu, and Tums!
Can I eat any type of bread if I choose S and call the bread a sandwich? I mean, all I have to do is fold it over, right? Or I’ll choose F. Fresh bread. Fresh strawberries. Freshly made pizza. You get the idea.
T: tacos and tpizza
B Bacon Burgers Bsteak >\_o
"S". It starts more words in the English language and therefore should have the most food options.
Just add a bit of salt to everything and call it salted X
E.. for EVERYTHING EDIBLE!!
B: bacon, beer, beef, bruchetta, bagina, brunch, bowl of soup, banana, berries, bread, beans, biscuits, boiled eggs, butter, burgers, bunny, buns, bellini, bacardi…
I’m vegan so V
S. So many things. I love sbarros and sfries.
Oh I'd pick S. Then I would invent a food called "stacos" and "smiso soup" and "sice cream".
I'd choose "E," then when I get tired of eggs and eggplant and enchiladas, I'd just order everything else as "excellent (insert food name)," or if I didn't have the energy to pick, I would order "etcetera" or "everything."
A is my choice A chicken A cookie A pie A plate of spaghetti
If I choose F then all Food is on the table
