What can you not live without?

[Ron Johnson]

Pork and all its variations: Bacon, pancetta, salumi, charcuterie, fresh sausages, chops, ribs, shoulder, BBQ.

I realized this when good salami was the one thing that prevented my sister from being a vegetarian. She said she never felt the desire to eat chicken or beef in any form, but a slice of salami was like crack. I think the same would be true for me.

[Wilfrid]

Meat. And if I have to choose one kind, I guess pork because of it's potential variety.

raw fish.

[britcook]

yes.... sushi for me

I thought raw fish was sashimi, sushi does not have to contain fish at all.

"sushi" is generally raw fish (or cooked, or anything else really) with rice and a shmear of wasabi. "sashimi" is raw fish alone. the term "sushi," however, is often used to describe both when one isn't being too specific. at least here in the states.

[Wilfrid]

"Sushi" means it's served on vinegared rice. Whatever it is.

[LaNiña]

meat. meat. meat.

[tommy]

"Sushi" means it's served on vinegared rice.  Whatever it is.

yeah yeah what he said!

i forgot to vote: i would say that i wouldn't want to have to go through life without raw fish, sans rice.

however, without water, i would simply cease to exist.

That would also happen if you held your breath long enough.

Oatmeal. Deep fried.

[LaNiña]

What the hell is deep fried oatmeal?

[Blondie]

With your huge vocabulary can't you find a more polite way to ask?

Cheese.

raw fish.

yes.... sushi for me

Let me clarify...

I meant: yes... I like raw fish very much... but for me, the food item that I can't live without is sushi...

Sorry about the confusion

[Shermar]

Just ONE thing? Meat--hooved, finned, feathered!

[kitwilliams]

Apples. Specifically a fresh, fall Fuji from Ha's Apple Farm in Tehachapi, CA. Admittedly I don't live in the apple capital of the world, but these are well worth craving and if I had to, I could live on them. And for those of you who mentioned water, it's included!

[Margaret Pilgrim]

Farm-fresh produce.

[torakris]

animal flesh
