(23,366 posts)I had previously considered bacon as a sub-group in the pizza food group.....
Here are my four food groups as they've stood until now:
1) Meat and potatoes;
2) Pizza;
3) Chocolate;
4) Coffee
What to do?
Sekhmets Daughter
(7,515 posts)We agree about all, I must, however, add some alcohol...
Meat & Potatoes ... washed down with red wine
Bacon MUST have its own group!
NY Pizza...I hope! ... more red wine
Chocolate
Coffee
Single Malt Scotch & Small Batch Bourbon

(4,833 posts)Except for the part about pizza. Not overly fond of it. And it is even less fond of me. I'll just take the red wine, and feed the pizza to the pigeons. Or to any wino or winette who happens to be close at hand, and would care for some.

We seem to be in perfect harmony as to the rest of the dietary pyramid! With what would you replace the pizza?

(4,833 posts)I do like a good burger. Or a sub / hoagie / grinder / gyro. Even a Philly Cheese Steak.
Any or all of the above. I am, however, at a loss for an all-inclusive term for these epicurean delights. Any thoughts?
Sekhmets Daughter
(7,515 posts)As all of the items include bread/grains, in one form or another how about the "Breads + group"?
Moondog
(4,833 posts)But to me, the dough isn't the thing - it's what's inside. The bread is incidental. A carrier, if you will. However, until such time as one of us comes up with some other collective term, it will do nicely. And sandwiches, or hot sandwiches, just doesn't do it. So I have already rejected them.
Having said all that, in the words of the Immortal Bard - "what's in a name? A rose, by any other name, would smell as sweet." Or something very close to that. Too lazy to look up the exact quote.
Sekhmets Daughter
(7,515 posts)So we we will call it the Bread + group until a better appellation is hit upon! I will be sure to give the mater careful consideration!
