...food that is just a preparation of a food or drink we discovered (potato chips, orange juice, hamburger),... I'm talking about fundamental staples that man essentially invented by doing something creative with what nature provides. Here's my list:

1. Coffee

Everyone is going off on coffee, but how is its preparation that much more creative than squeezing oranges? Basically grinding beans and boiling them in water, whoa, crazy stuff.

Hell, hamburger is just grinding up a cow.

You realize that there aren't just plants out there with roasted coffee beans growing from them, right? Go research how coffee is made -- it's far more complex than squeezing oranges and grinding meat.

So.........

It looks like these guys are talking Future FrankinFood.

Coffee and chocolate- what prompted man to do all these weird steps needed to make these two things. We are an inquisitive species.

I don`t even want to try and wrap my head around what prompted civet coffee. Eating monkey brains is about as far as I'll go in the persuit of the perfect forkfull.

Ooooh, you roast the beans before you boil them, clever. You must love some double-baked lasagna then.

Do you know where you find the beans? They're seeds of a cherry plant. So you're saying that saving the seeds of a fruit, roasting them in the sun to the appropriate level of dryness, then grinding them and boiling the resultant dust into a stimulant-laced drink, is as intuitive as squeezing an orange for its juice?

Here they are in no particular order:

Egg McMuffin

Sausage McMuffin with Egg

Bacon, Egg and Cheese Biscuit

Sausage Biscuit with Egg

Sausage Burrito

Sausage, Egg, and Cheese McGriddle

Big Breakfast with Hotcakes

Steak, Egg, and Cheese Bagel

Hash Browns

Angus Deluxe

Angus Mushroom and Swiss

Quarter Pounder with Cheese

McChicken Sandwich

Fries

Angus Bacon and Cheese

Chicken McNuggets

McFlurry with M and M's

Vanilla Triple Shake

And, of course, Big Mac

Sorry, I just could not narrow it down to only 10. This is the fantastic list that has added about 2 minutes per mile to my racing times...

I have to agree that coffee and beer are #1 and #2.

After reading through this entire thread, I can't believe that no one mentioned the following:

Twinkies

Suzy Qs

Cream Filled Oatmeal Pies

Moon Pies

Snickers

Three Muskateers

Jelly Beans

Peeps

Along with the coffee and beer, that's my Ten Greatest Foods or Drinks.
