I’d probably buy hummus, buy a bunch of new stuff I’ve never tried, maybe buy some red meat a bit more often than once a month or so.
I also usually don’t buy orange juice for cost reasons so probably that too.
Hummus is pretty cheap if you make it yourself.
Chickpeas, oil, tahini or peanut butter, garlic, lemon juice and some sort of hot pepper powder if you like it spicy.
You know, I never actually considered making it myself, I figured I’d need some device or masher etc. To make it, but I’ll look into it!
I don’t know where in the world you are but the Publix near my house always has hummus tubs BOGO and that makes it extremely affordable. I just have to be careful not to look at much else cuz everything else is way too expensive for my blood.
I live in a pretty HCOL area and buy food pretty conservatively. I can look into the BOGO tubs of it though! Mostly I feel its a snack type food and that’s where I pinch on foods. The snack, desserts etc.
If I could find it cheap I could probably look into what meals I could have with hummus
Sushi would be nice. I have pretty cheap/basic taste otherwise lol. Maybe Korean fried chicken.
Expensive liquor. Gin, Whiskey, Rum. I would try all the premium stuff.
Also, high quality organic meat only.
A better question would be, What foods and drinks would you buy more often if health was not an issue?
… and environment.
I’d love to eat ribeyes daily, but guilt (and heart attack) would stop me pretty quickly
I scuba dove with a school of like 1000 blue fin tuna in the Philippines, and now it’s hard to order / not feel horrible eating tuna sushi
A whole case or ten of Port to cellar. A couple barrels of whiskey to cellar. Really just I’d get into cellaring things myself in general.
If you like ports, make sure you try ice wine sometime. I usually drink dry wines, so when I go sweet, I want to go sweeeet! 😆
One of my good friends loves ice wine and just got engaged. I’ve never tried it but I picked up a bottle I’m gonna share with him on his birthday in a few months for a dual celebration.
I often joke I don’t have a sweet tooth, I have a whole set of them. (Though I’m totally down for a nice dry too).
Nice! I hope you enjoy it.
I learned about it at a small winery near Penn State. I saw it was “exclusive” since it was only made with the grapes from the first frost and I had to try it.
Local special, long away.
Cost of food is not an issue for me. What is an issue is that I have no time nor budget to make long travel (inter-continent, with weeks off job) to eat.
With money, I can stop working and go on a vacation.
Fancy Cheese
Really good wine, really good whiskey
Raspberries
Restaurant foods, would eat out more if funds were ample for it.
(I do love fish and other seafood but worry about overfishing, wouldn’t buy more. Also like beef but wouldn’t buy more of that either, don’t want it often)
Lobster
Lobster roll American and Japanese
Full Irish breakfast. Every single day until a heart attack gets me.
Nah, Ulster fry for me.
Why not both? I love Ulster fry, but thanks to Brexit my plans moving to Belfast got cut short.
What’s in a full Irish breakfast?
The typical ingredients are bacon, sausages, eggs, black pudding, baked beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, toast, fried bread and a beverage such as coffee or tea. Hash browns are a common contemporary but non-traditional inclusion.
My heart hurts reading this list, I love it!
There’s my favourite chipper in Greystones, Ireland. They sell the Tasty Roll. Probably instant cancer, but I don’t give a damn. I grab one every time I’m down there.
It’s a baguette filled with chips (fries), bacon, garlic sauce and molten cheese.
that sounds amazing
Ah right, yeah that all sounds very much like something I can get behind!! Thank you
exotic fruits and weird vegetables I havent tried yet.
I would always have restaurant hummus on hand.
Avocado, nuts, fish, kombucha
Some different expensive mineral waters
Freeze-dried fruit
Beef jerky
Nuts in wasabi dough
PizzaYeah, I just forgot about mineral waters until you mention on.
Freeze dried fruit from Aldi/Trader Joe’s is surprisingly cheap.
harry and davids for food. drink is sorta hard. I would be trying a ton of kabucha type drinks and soda alternatives sweetened with mongfruit or such.
