I'm not talking about food or drink that we discovered (apples, bananas, milk), food that is just a preparation of a food or drink we discovered (potato chips, orange juice, hamburger), or food or drinks that are just combinations of food (pizza, tacos, sushi). I'm talking about fundamental staples that man essentially invented by doing something creative with what nature provides. Here's my list:
1. Coffee
2. Beer
3. Cheese
4. Wine
5. Ice Cream
6. Bread
7. Yogurt
8. Mustard
9. Scotch
10. Tofu
1. chocolate
2. chocolate souffle
3. chocolate covered foods
4. chocolate pudding
5. fudge
6. chocolate cake with chocolate icing
7. chocolates
8. hot chocolate
9. chocolate chip cookies
10. chocolate candy corns

Good point -- not sure how I left out chocolate. That's up there.
I think it starts with a p and I know no one eats the parsley.
1. Coffee
2. Beer
That's all that matters.

The undisputed 1-2 punch, in my opinion.
I agree with Chocolate, can't believe I left it off, just ate some dark chocolate m&m's for desert.
Left off another one also, peanut butter, just had it for lunch. Might be the best of all as far as nutrition goes.
1. coffee
2. beer (the european way)
3. burrito
4. ice cream
5. diet dr. pepper
6. reese's peanut butter cups
7. arnold palmer (50/50 mix of ice tea and lemonade)
8. pasta
9. green tea
10. wheat thins
I have to 2nd coffee and beer.
Cheese was a good call, too. French cheeses are amazing.
Then I would add just about any dish served in New Orleans. God, that town knows how to cook.
Frank's hot sauce
Fizzies!
Kung Pao Chicken, (but as opposed to what? Lemurs?)

And consequently, the two primary sources of fluid for me (when not exercising).
No list is complete without Dr. Pepper, but I'm not sure exactly where on the list it belongs.
rsbones - seriously, diet?
Yeah, regular dr. pepper is certainly better. but i switched to diet when i turned 40 and now the real stuff tastes too sweet.
Just putting in my vote for Fig Newtons. I could live on those (and some peanut butter and beer).
