Burgers
You can grab one just about anywhere and they're delicious at any time of the day. Add to that the fact that burgers can be customized in a hundred different ways and you've got the world's favorite takeaway! Could you enjoy a nice juicy burger with a cheese sauce right about now?
Spaghetti bolognese
Who makes the best spaghetti bolognese in your family? Your mom? Your granny? Maybe it's you! This is a simple and quick meal to make and once you've mastered the recipe you'll be wanting to make it all the time. Could you go for a little comfort food right now? How about a plate of steaming spaghetti?
Mac and cheese
When it comes to comfort food mac and cheese is king. No matter how bad you are feeling there's nothing like a big bowl of rich macaroni drenched in a thick creamy sauce to cheer you right up. You can add a side salad if you want to be healthy but nothing goes better with mac and cheese than some more mac and cheese!
Steak, egg, and chips
So last night you got home late and this morning you had to be up early again. Now it's mid-morning and you are starting to feel ravenous. You sit down in the nearest restaurant and check out the menu. How about a hunger-busting plate of steak, egg, and chips to perk you up?
Greek salad
Okay, of course, we need to have some healthy options in here too! So how about munching on a crisp Greek salad? Think of those tangy olives, that creamy dressing, that soft melt-in-your-mouth cheese and tart chunks of tomato. Sounds delicious right? Should we dish up for you?
Fish and chips
Fish and chips are quick and easy takeaways but you can make it at home too if you know how. It can be served as a sit-down meal or just eaten from the container in front of the TV, depending on what kind of mood you're in. Want some?
Bacon and eggs
Nothing goes together like our favorite two breakfast foods. No, not fruit and yogurt, we're talking about eggs and bacon! But the bacon has to be cooked to a crisp perfection and those eggs must be done just the way we like them. How about starting the day with a hearty plate of bacon and eggs?
Pot roast
Who could say no to a nice helping of pot roast? Not only will the smell of that slowly cooked meat make your mouth water but once you've had the first helping you'll be looking for seconds. Served with a hearty selection of roast vegetables, of course. Any takers?
Pumpkin pie
If you've never had pumpkin pie before you don't know what kind of taste adventure you've been missing out on. This dessert is made with a creamy pumpkin-based custard filling and is usually eaten around Thanksgiving or at harvest times. Would you care for a slice?
Fries
We know how it is. There are days when you crave expensive, complicated dishes and days when only home-cooked goodness will do. And then there are those days when all you want in the world is just a plate of salty fries and a good dipping sauce. Any takers?
Curry and rice
Want to try something a little different tonight? If you like your food spicy you might just want to try making a curry (or even easier, just order one from your local Indian restaurant). It's hearty but be warned - it might make your eyes water! Feeling brave enough for a little curry?
Burritos
What kind of filling do you like in your burrito? Must it be meaty? Do you take it with beans or cheese or both? Do you put vegetables on it? What about sour cream and guacamole? And do you prefer Mexican-style rice or plain rice? Would you pick or pass on this dish?
Chicken nuggets
We dare you to try and say no to these delicious, crispy chicken nuggets. They are staring you in the face. They are begging to be eaten and you've got a huge bowl of your favorite dipping sauce close by. Come on, are you going to let this dish pass you by?
Sushi
Sushi is not for everyone but once you've acquired a taste for it, you'll want to eat nothing else. Even if you can't get over the taste of raw fish, there are plenty of vegetable options that are just as yummy. Would you say yes to a plate of sushi?
Baked potato
The baked potato is a close rival of mac and cheese when it comes to the best comfort foods. It's easy to make and can be served with a huge number of different toppings including cheese, bacon, sour cream, avocado, and loads more. Want do you like to add to your baked potato?
Chocolate cake
Is there anything more tempting in the world than a thick piece of chocolate cake that taunts us with its moist firmness and creamy filling? And when you're on a diet, it just seems to appear everywhere you look, right? Can you say no to this slice of chocolate cake?
Frittata
This Italian egg-based dish is quite similar to an omelet or a crustless quiche. You can add just about anything you have on hand into a frittata and it makes a perfect breakfast or lunch dish. Have you tried it before? Will you pick or pass on this dish?
Lobster Thermidor
Lobster Thermidor is not the type of dish you can have all the time unless you've deep pockets or some secret stash of lobsters. This is a French-speciality dish with saucy cooked lobster meat stuffed in a lobster shell. Shall we add cheese to yours or are you going to pass?
Tomato soup
We've got to have some hearty options for you choose and what could feel more homely than a spicy bowl of tomato soup? All creamy and tangy and served with a few slices of freshly baked bread... Mmm, that does sound good, doesn't it? Shall we dish up a bowl for you?
Fruit salad
You need to eat fruit every day but sometimes it can hard to reach your daily quota. Enter the humble fruit salad. You can use whatever fruit you have in the house, chop it up and mix it together and voila you've got a super healthy snack. Pick or pass?
Garlic prawns
Prawns are one of those dishes that are very similar to ribs in that you can eat them with a knife and fork but really it's better to just use your hands. Are you a fan of prawns? Swimming in creamy, buttery garlic sauce... Or would you pass on this dish?
Stir-fry
If you happen to have a wok at home you might enjoy whipping up a stir fry every now and again. You can serve thinly sliced pieces of meat and julienned veggies up in minutes or you can just order from the Chinese takeaway. The only question is whether you'll be using chopsticks or a fork?
Calzone
It's not quite a pie and it's not quite a pizza but a glorious blend of both. Yes, it's calzone! This oven-baked folded pizza originated in Italy but is now enjoyed all over the world. Anything you can add to pizza can go into calzone too and it's less messy - bonus!
Roast chicken
Next up on the menu is a plate of tender, juicy roast chicken smothered in a rich gravy. You can have it with whatever veggies you desire although peas, carrots, and creamy mashed potato are the best accompaniments. It's perfect as a mid-week meal or a Sunday family lunch. Shall we dish up for you?
Caesar salad
What we have is the classic Caesar salad: eggs, anchovies (if you want them) and parmesan cheese served on a bed of romaine lettuce, sprinkled with croutons and seasoned with lemon juice, olive oil, mustard, garlic, and pepper. What do you say? Will you pick or pass on this yummy salad?
Beef Wellington
Unless you've got some mad skills when it comes to cooking you probably wouldn't want to try making this complex dish at home. But you don't need to worry, we have a hearty helping of pâté coated fillet steak wrapped in warm puff pastry waiting right here for you...
Chicken Cordon bleu
How could you possibly let this delicious plate of chicken cordon bleu (sometimes also known as chicken schnitzel) pass you by? Look at that creamy cheese filling... Is that a little bacon I see packed in there? And that crispy coating, oh it's just dying to be eaten...
Strawberries and cream
Now if you are looking for a quick and easy dessert (that is also healthy) or just a quick snack, strawberries are great. Especially if you can find some big sweet juicy ones. You can enjoy them with a little whipped cream or maybe even some decadent ice-cream. Yummy!
Grilled salmon
If you are trying to follow a healthier eating plan you probably don't want to be eating that much red meat. Salmon is a healthier option and can be grilled much the same way as any meat. Serve it with a salad or some veggies. Want to sample some of this?
Nachos
If you've been on diet we suggest you leave it aside for a moment because a plate of nachos is making its way towards you. You can already smell the baked cheese and taste the sour cream and avocado. You won't let this one pass you by, will you?
Calamari
If you have a soft spot for Squidward you might want to look away for this one. Next up on the menu is calamari, AKA squid. It's got to be prepared correctly to avoid a rubbery texture and this batch has been battered and fried to perfection. Will you have some?
Lasagna
What is there not to love about lasagna? It's a great dish to serve if you need to feed a crowd and it's relatively easy to make. You can make a huge batch and freeze into portions for later too, it's just a winner all around. Would you pick or pass on a plate of lasagna?
Fried chicken
Will it help to drown your sorrows in a bucket full of deep-fried chicken? Probably not in the long term but as a short-term solution it could work! And you don't even need to have anything else with it. How about a few pieces to get you started?
Spaghetti and meatballs
Sometimes even all the fancy dishes in the world can't compare to a big bowl of spaghetti and meatballs. And the one we have for you today is just delicious. The meatballs are tender and juicy and the sauce is smooth and tangy. You won't want to let this one pass you by!
Eggs Benedict
You might know this dish by it's more informal name: Eggs Benny. It's a breakfast dish made with eggs. Two eggs are served on top of two halves of an English muffin and topped with either bacon, ham or salmon, and a hollandaise sauce. Can we dish some up for you?
Pancakes
There is never a bad time to enjoy a huge stack of pancakes, is there? Whether you like them dripping in syrup, served with bacon or with fruit you getter grab a few quickly before they are all gone! What do you think? Will you pick or pass on a plate of pancakes?
Pork Chops
We're looking at main course options right now and we have to tell you; these pork chops smell divine! The meat is soft and tender inside, with a crisp evenly cooked crust all the way around. And we've got some baked apple to go along with them. Yummy!
Shrimp cocktail
Now, this is the type of cocktail we can get into! Sure, it doesn't have any alcohol but you can eat it with a spoon, so that's something. Have you ever tried shrimp before? What about shrimp served with a cocktail sauce? Will you pick or pass on this scrumptious little dish?
Crumbed mushrooms
Almost everything tastes better if you batter and deep fry it and that includes mushrooms. Yes, onion rings are delicious but for a real taste adventure, you should try some of these crumbed mushrooms served with a zingy tartar sauce. They are to die for so don't let this dish pass you by!
Cheesecake
Finally, it's time for dessert and right at the top of today's menu is cheesecake. We've got all different types of cheesecake too, everything from strawberry through to chocolate. A word of warning though: it's hard to stop at just one slice! Will you be having some?
