What are the 5 foods that you could simply not live without?
I know this is a tuffy, who would want to choose right? But if you had to, which 5 foods are you not willing to part with?
Here goes my list
1. Bread, the crusty kind. Nothing beats the smell of freshly baked bread!
2. Cheese, couldn't imagine never having gooey melted cheese again.
3. Chillies, love the heat too much to give up.
4. Tomatoes, if you have tomatoes you can cook something. They make almost anything a meal.
5. Bacon, love the smell, the crispy delicious taste..yum!
I just realised that I've listed most of the ingredients for breakfast..lol! Just missing some eggs :p I just love breakfast, could have it for every meal!

Bacon
eggs
hamburger
chicken
seafood
cheese
bread
In order of current availability. Seafood is a treat I give myself often, but not every week.
Living alone has a few advantages like a $5 bag of frozen, tail-on shrimp that can make 1, 2, or even 3 really nice meals.
So, in order of want the most, I would live on shellfish and fish alone.

Though I love milk, and it's my favorite beverage, If I had to live without it, I could. So, I would choose:
1. Whole wheat flour
2. eggs
3. green, leafy veggies
4. blueberries
5. pork
That's from a survival standpoint
From a want standpoint:
1: 5 year aged Balderson Cheddar, or Dorsett Drum Cheddar
2. Pepperoni
3. semi-sweet chocolate
4. milk, cold and whole, straight from the cow and into the fridge
5. Granola, home-made
And 5 is too little, because tomato has to be in both lists as well, as does honey, and brook trout, and beans, and cornish hens, and green beans, and, and, and...

OTF! Too true, picking 5 is tough! How about we all team up and share..lol!
If it's need we're talking about I'll have to choose the following..
1. A cow, milk it first then make cheese and eat the cow after.
2. A chicken, eat the eggs and then the chicken
3. Tomatoes, eat the tomatoes and plant the seeds to get more
4. Lemon, to flavour the meat and prevent scurvy :P
5. Corn = corn meal, corn on the cob, tortillas etc.
Damn 5 is too little, I need chocolate, vodka, coffeeeeeeee, pumpkin all kinds, sweet potatoes, amarula, yum!!!!!!!! And I can't make cereal darnit I need rice crispies too and and and as you said!
Your a hoot Goodweed!

Five foods I would not want to give up would be
chicken wings
potatoes
cheese
steak
garlic bread
I could probably replace steak with seafood, but steak leaves me satisfied and seafood leaves me wanting more. Thus the nod to steak.
