If I could eat anything right now, I'd pick _________.
Personally, I'd love a bowl of real ramen, the kind you can get in little hole-in-the-wall restaurants in Japan, or any hot pot pie. What would you eat if you had it?

Corned beef hash with a sunny up egg, a slice of hearty cracked wheat toast and a cup of coffee with cream and sweetener.

A have been craving 2 things: biscuits and gravy with a side of crisp hash browns and link sausages, or a Mexican pizza.

Country Ham from N. Va. Scrapple from Lancaster Co. Pa. Bacon from Broadbents in E. Kentucky Grits like they make at the Cove in Naples ,Fl. I could go on but won't .

The fried rice I made for supper last night, with onion, snap peas, summer squash and egg. Will probably make again today.
But if I "could eat anything right now" without the caloric consequences, it would be potato chips with ranch-onion sour cream dip
lemonfair at 6:45AM on 08/05/09
a big ol' BLT.

If I could eat anything right now, hmmm I would love a big thick grilled steak, with fresh grilled sweet corn and lots of butter, a tomato and cucumber salad with fresh blue cheese dressing, and I huge piece of strawberry shortcake with lots of whipped cream. however since none of that is possible I"ll probably have a slice of dry toast. lol
huneybumper at 8:11AM on 08/05/09
A plate of grilled octopus.
juliebugsmama at 8:43AM on 08/05/09
chicken fried steak, cream gravy, mashed potatoes, sweet ice tea and warm pecan pie with homemade pecan/praline ice cream on top.
olddad at 9:29AM on 08/05/09
Northern Chinese Spicey Peanut Noodle Soup from my local fave...
...or this Cold Soba Noodle Salad with 5-spice grilled prawns at my local japanese rest.
@katiedid- or that!
hungrychristel at 10:15AM on 08/05/09
A big soft pretzel with melted cheese and mustard, or if we're in the sweet scenario a true red velvet cake or lemon meringue pie; maybe gazpacho...
I tend to ask that question too, how cruel.
mtgall at 10:37AM on 08/05/09
Anything. My kitchen is currently being painted and I can't leave the house because I need to be here to keep an eye on things.
Amandarama at 10:45AM on 08/05/09
Plain ginger tea and some sourdough toast - my stomach is so unhappy with me this morning!
Junie at 10:49AM on 08/05/09
Chocolate ice cream.
sorahatch at 11:33AM on 08/05/09
BLT on an Everything bagel. Having *just* left the dentist, this is a total dream as I cannot chew.
AliceBlue at 11:39AM on 08/05/09
@Skythe: You pushed me in this direction with your ramen in Japan remark...ahh, that would be soooo good!
Gyudon at a stall in Japan, especially for breakfast. It's easier to decide too, since I wouldn't know which ramen I'd want -- between shoyu, sansai, or tororo ramen, or tanuki udon, or souki soba near my aunt's house in Okinawa.
I think I'm going to get bun rieu for dinner tonight, since I can't get a really good bowl of gyudon or ramen here.

Alaskan king crab with a butter/gralic sauce
Ortolan at 11:44AM on 08/05/09
Pesto, goat cheese and sundried tomato panini. Oh, that is what I am eating :)
flavacrisp at 11:59AM on 08/05/09
@Ortolan - Have you tried Russain King Crab yet??? Surprisingly I found it bigger and sweeter
hungrychristel at 12:00PM on 08/05/09
Fried calf's liver (I just finished "Julie & Julia")
AnnieNT at 12:34PM on 08/05/09
this salad from one of the local joints - it's rotisseried jerk chicken with tons of mandarin orange wedges, slivered almonds, and a delicious vinaigrette. And it comes with coconut-topped corn muffins. It's not going to happen for lunch, but the chances of it being my dinner are pretty high at this point...
kimberlymac at 12:49PM on 08/05/09
No, hungrychristel, I've never had Russian King Crab yet. Did you get yours already cooked and frozen?
I've only found fresh Alaskan King crab at the Chinese restaurants in Vancouver, BC.
Ortolan at 12:52PM on 08/05/09
Bibimbap. It just sounds so fulfilling and comforting right now!
tastyeatsathome at 2:11PM on 08/05/09
youre right, ortolan, It must have been frozen and pre-cooked. I just quickly re-steamed them.
I'm curious if you could get it fresh: I live in Manitoba and I've never had fresh king crab. Maybe when I go to BC next year I'll look for it.
I'm a HUGE king crab fan and I just tried this Russian one this year. The legs were ginormous and it did taste different to me.
hungrychristel at 2:17PM on 08/05/09
Just had it for lunch: shrimp salad on a nice, fresh, poppyseed kaiser roll with Wise potato chips and lemon iced tea. It's very hot/humid (typical Philly summer weather) here today and this really did the trick.
duncan1205 at 2:24PM on 08/05/09
marrow.
bourdain had some on 'no reservations' the other day-can't stop thinking about it.

Classic cheese pizza from John's on Bleecker St in NY, followed by fior de latte gelato

Peanut butter sandwich.
bigfatmouth at 3:18PM on 08/05/09
hot pastrami sandwich with a whoopie pie for dessert. mmm.
my mom grew up in Boston and this is always one of the first meals we eat when we are there.
listener at 3:42PM on 08/05/09
A reuben sandwich.

Or scallops in white wine-lemon cream sauce over risotto.
CJ McD at 3:48PM on 08/05/09
Something's wrong....I'm actually not craving anything.... what the heck, that's kinda scary.
Martini Me at 3:52PM on 08/05/09
Pho Tai
hbomb1013 at 3:53PM on 08/05/09
any kind of pasta with lots of butter and garlic..yum
michfrompr at 4:08PM on 08/05/09
A piece of good quality fresh salmon nigiri. That is something I will never turn down.
Chew on That at 4:13PM on 08/05/09
This all sounds sooo good. Roughly half a day later I still want my ramen, but I also want a nice, big homemade milkshake. Vanilla, I think.
Skythe at 6:22PM on 08/05/09
My mother's vegetable gumbo. My brothers and I have tried for years to duplicate it without success.
Poultrygeist at 9:04PM on 08/05/09
Anything in the above or that my husband would like to make for me.
janaatwg at 9:23PM on 08/05/09
Sushi from a great sushi chef (sustainable seafood only please). I live WY - I'm deprived!
or
Veganized Pumpkin-chocolate Gooey Butter Cake (yes that Paula Deen dessert, but I sub. out the dairy)
Gosh that is random, but those came to mind first!
toasteebagel at 9:27PM on 08/05/09
Char siu wonton noodle soup from Hong Kong Eatery in Boston's Chinatown. Yes, I'm homesick.
shoneyjoe at 10:00PM on 08/05/09
something salty -- proscuitto slices -- homemade potato chips ... but i might have to settle for homemade popcorn with olive oil and sea salt.
pooch at 10:41PM on 08/05/09
@martini_me: you better get that checked out. I'd be worried :p
hungrychristel at 11:13AM on 08/06/09
I'd sit down with a warm loaf of freshly-baked bread, and some really good butter, and eat the whole thing.
(I've been gluten-free for nearly a year now, and I still crave bread and pasta.)
Brownie at 5:23PM on 08/06/09
my favorite burrito bowl, pizza, or blue-cheese-onion hamburger. I don't feel like cooking tonight, obviously.
fledglingapotheosis at 6:18PM on 08/06/09
big bowl of roasted vegetables.
or a big piece of cheesecake for later tonight.
sarar at 6:41PM on 08/06/09
so many things: 2 spicy tuna rolls with a miso soup, this salad i had the other day with fresh mozzarella and polenta croutons, empanadas, really hot cheese pizza, french fries.
lollie at 12:32PM on 08/12/09
Today is a different day...I want pad thai, and duck choo chee with jasmine rice. For dessert, black rice and mangoes in thick, warm coconut milk served in a chalice.
