Or as BuzzFeed dubs it, “The Hardest Game of “Which Food Must Go” You’ll Ever Play!” I’m in! I actually saw this fun little “game” on Ellen’s blog last week and knew it would be a perfect post to lighten things up this week here on the blog! Everyone loves a little foodie fun and this is a unique set of questions I’d never seen. The rules are, “If you had to live without one of the foods listed below (in each set of three), which would you choose to eliminate?” Understood? Okay, let’s play!
1. Pancakes, Waffles, or French Toast?
Eliminate: French Toast. I mean, I rarely make French Toast, pancakes and waffles are much more a staple! (Obviously!). I’ve been much bigger into waffles though down here in college since it’s easy to just whip out and plug in my waffle iron instead of lug pans and batter down to the kitchen. Hopefully once I’m home again I can make all three much more readily!
2. Pie, Cake, or Brownies?
Eliminate: Cake. O god, I know! Don’t kill me! But even though I never eat pie except this and this, and I’d take a brownie before cake. Brownies are kinda like cake right? Although I love carrot cake. I don’t know really. I never eat that kinda stuff…just not appealing to me.
3. Curly Fries, Crinkle-Cut Fries, or Steak Fries?
Eliminate: Crinkle-Cut. Curly fries are just fun! Steak cut fries are just super easy to make. Just cut a potato. Crinkle-cut I picture are being super limp and wet, haha!
4. Pizza, Pizza Rolls, or Bagel Bites?
Eliminate: Pizza Rolls. I hate when my brother makes those microwave things at home…they smell bad! Haha! But I am all for my favorite personal pizzas, and pizza with a bagel base is always a winner 😉 Speaking of, did you ever make English muffin pizzas as a kid? I did! I loved them! So much fun! Take an English muffin, top with sauce, cheese, spices, and put it in the oven! Haha, the good old days 😉
5. Chocolate Chip Cookies, Sugar Cookies, or Peanut Butter Cookies?
Eliminate: Sugar Cookies. Chocolate anything will always win and peanut butter is delicious! But I think I’d really go for these pumpkin cookies or a good oatmeal cookie!
6. Bacon, Sausage, or Ham?
Eliminate: Sausage. I’m going to cheat here and say the “bacon” is eggplant bacon and ham is just less gross then sausage. I never liked that crap even when I ate meat, haha!
7. Mozzarella Sticks, Onion Rings, or Potato Skins?
Eliminate: Mozzarella Sticks. Why would anyone eat fried cheese? Ew? I have this killer recipe in my head for baked onion rings which I can’t wait to test! I think the only time I had authentic potato skins was years ago in an Irish Pub down in Wildwood, NJ! But, potatoes always win.
8. Lobster, Shrimp, or Crab?
Eliminate: Crab. I don’t eat seafood (only fish), but when I did, I ate so minimal lobster or crab anyway. Only a few times. Shrimp I had a bit more, but still not a very common occurrence.
9. Barbecue Ribs, Hot Wings, or Mini Burger Sliders?
Eliminate: Hot Wings. Obviously this game isn’t “Rebecca-Friendly”, but I’m just playing along. Fried stuff is just icky, and I’d take a burger like this any day…or this…or even this! O, and I love BBQ sauce, so….
10. Burritos, Quesadillas, or Tacos?
Eliminate: Quesodillas. Considering the fact that “queso”dilla means “cheese”…dilla and that I have awesome recipes for the other two, that was a no-brainer. Check out these savory pumpkin tacos, these veggie tacos, this awesome lentil burrito in a coconut wrap too!
11. Buttermilk Biscuits, Cornbread, or Bread Rolls?
Eliminate: Buttermilk Biscuits. Why would I ever want those when I can have all this cornbread and awesome “buns” 😉
12. Beef, Chicken, or Pork?
Eliminate: Beef. Cow was the first meat I eliminate since….my favorite animal is a cow, haha! But I’d never eat pig either (obviously). I still eat chicken, the only meat besides fish. I’ll keep my minimal consumption of chicken for now though. All in time!
13. Coffee, Tea, or Energy Drinks?
Eliminate: Energy Drinks. Well this was probably the easiest question so far! DUH! Who drinks gross energy drinks anymore? That stuff is poison! Haha! All the coffee and tea and I’m good to go!
14. Skittles, Reese’s Pieces, or M&Ms?
Eliminate: Reese’s Pieces. I never liked them (even when I ate candy). The PB was so fake and sugary. Gag! My mom is obsessed wtih skittles, but I’m not a big fan of non-chocolate things either. M&Ms are the lesser evil here. I also always had a weird thing for those little mini M&Ms in those cute flip containers! Haha!
15. Bagels, English Muffins, or Croissants?
Eliminate: Croissants. Ick….Let me have all the bagels and of course my favorite English Muffins! (I still have a bagel recipe I do have to share with you all from last summer….).
16. Mac ‘n’ Cheese, Lasagna, or Spaghetti with Meatballs?
Eliminate: Lasagna. Besides this one, I made a new mac ‘n’ cheese recipe over winter break (which I need to share), and obviously I love my “spaghetti and meatballs“! 😉
17. Ice Cream, Milkshake, or Frozen Yogurt?
Eliminate: Milkshake. They have always grossed me out my whole life. Just the sound of it…ugh! I’ll take some Wink or dairy-free frozen yogurt…if I have to!
So tell me:
+ Answer some of the questions below or, if you’re a blogger, do your own post!

I hadn’t heard of this before now – it’s funny! I think we actually agree on a lot of things. Some of those foods are just gross ;p
“I have this killer recipe in my head for baked onion rings which I can’t wait to test!”
I eagerly await!!!!
It is going to be one of the first things I make when I get back in the kitchen!!!
Visiting from #merrymonday nice post. I love your list and the way you presented your post. Have a great week!
Jennifer Abel@gmail.com recently posted…How to Make a Media Kit
Okay, thanks!
Stopping by from Monday Madness. Thanks for the game! Some were easy to answer, others… not so much. I’m just glad I don’t have to choose between cake, pie, and brownies for real!
Jenny @ Unremarkable Files recently posted…50 Reasons We Were Late for Church This Morning
Hahahahaha, one day you may just have to 😉
Ahh I’ve been on a total blog break (so much to catch up on!) but I’m so glad you did this 😀 It’s super interesting to see your responses even though you don’t eat a bunch of the options anyhow. I had a thing for those mini M&M flip containers, too!
Weren’t the the cutest! I think they made the M&Ms taste 10000000000x better 😉
I just ate 2 pints of WINK… Sorry, NOT sorry! lol
GiGi Eats recently posted…Once Upon A Time… I Had A Large Intestine: Part 1
Haha!
Oh my gosh I LOVE this post idea! Genius, Rebecca! I might have to do one like this, too 🙂
Liv @ Healthy Liv recently posted…No-Bake 4-Ingredient Peanut Butter Energy Bites
It wasn’t my idea! But do it! I’d love to read you answers!
I agree with you on most of these, though I find it hard to play along on the meat choices. I just say all of them.
Debbie recently posted…So You Say You Hate Exercise
Hey, no way! Haha, you have to play along and pretend they are “vegan” options (I mean…I’m gluten, soy, egg, dairy, and meat free) and I still did it!
What a fun game. Oh man. I couldn’t decide as I am STARVING right now as I type (eating my snack now as I type). 😉 All those suggestions of food look great. 😉
rachel recently posted…Balancing Motherhood and Running
Haha! But some of these are gross!
hmm for some reason my comment didn’t show up. I could easily say good bye to brownies and energy drinks forever. Mostly I’m glad when I don’t have to choose.
But you do have to choose?
How fun post and it’s really the hardest quiz ever! The only thing of all questin that I can toss are energy drinks, I never liked them and don’t dring them. But the other stuff, for person who loves to eat – like me :), is so hard!
Haha! Energy drinks shouldn’t even be considered food! Just chemicals!
What a fun way to learn more about your food likes/dislikes!! I can’t believe you dissed mozzarella sticks! I rarely eat them now, but they were a staple of my diet (along w Mac n cheese) when I was a kid!!
Here are my answers:
Waffles (not so exciting to me)
Pie
Crinkle-Cut Fries (although i don’t really like any of those choices; i like skinny crispy fries!)
Pizza rolls (ew!)
Sugar cookies
All 3 – i don’t eat pork
potato skins
all 3 – i don’t eat shellfish
bbq ribs
burritos
biscuits
pork
energy drinks
skittles
english muffins (tough one!)
lasagna
milkshake
Well since I don’t eat dairy…hahahaha 😉
Cheating by saying all 3! Gotta play along like me!
What a fun post! I actually don’t eat so many of those food items, my answers would be way too boring. But I’m with you on pizza rolls, they never taste “pizza-y” enough for my taste, lol.
RFC recently posted…Adventures in Fayetteville, North Carolina
I’d much rather make my own vegan/gf pizzas!
This was FUN! I agreed with almost all of yours – except I’d choose ham instead of sausage, shrimp instead of crab, english muffins instead of croissants. Still, fun to think about all this stuff because I don’t eat a lot of it LOL
Alyssa @ Simply Quinoa recently posted…Thai Peanut Quinoa Salad
Haha, I know! Same here, but still fun! (I can’t believe you’d get rid of English Muffins!!!!)
It’s just because I love bagels so much! And croissants are one of my guilty pleasures 🙂
Alyssa @ Simply Quinoa recently posted…Thai Peanut Quinoa Salad
When going through this post, it’s easy to eliminate a lot of the items! I also started feeling like a picky eater.
Rachel recently posted…Cleveland to Chicago in 10 Hours
Haha, well most of the stuff I don’t eat either!
Just did the quiz with my friend while sipping on some wine. So fun haha
GiselleR @ Diary of an ExSloth recently posted…Apple Cinnamon Roasted Cashews
I want to see your answers!!!
OEMGEEEEEEE….You eliminated cake???? Why????
🙂
This is such a fun post/game!
Just not my thing 😉 But none of those are!
I love this post idea and I think I’m going to steal it for a future post! Thanks for the suggestion and I’ll definitely link back to you 🙂 I agree with pretty much everything you picked, especially eliminating energy drinks. I don’t think I’ve ever actually bought one for myself. In college I would get them for free a lot (traveling Red Bull car) but always thought they were disgusting.
Gretchen | Gretchruns recently posted…Wednesday Reviews: Outer Banks and Proposal
I’ve never had an energy drink either! Haha, funny though! They do leave them on the first day for every college freshman! I remember them at my brother’s dorm and then at my dorm this year! None of my roommates even drank them so we just threw that gross chemicals stuff out!
And please do take this! I’d love to see your post!
I agree with you on almost all of these… I never eat pork, or croissants. But I do like Reeses pieces! But it probably wouldn’t be bad for me to give that one up, considering they are super fake and processed
Emma @ em-poweredwellness recently posted…Nobody Likes You When You’re…
Haha, that’s why I don’t eat candy at all! Yuck! I just don’t like all that sugar either!
I enjoyed so much reading this post! Thanks for sharing it with us 😀

If you enjoyed it, then you should answer it!
The pictures in this post are making me so hungry 🙂
Hera recently posted…Easy Ritual for Clearing Space and Setting Intentions
All my recipes 🙂 Enjoy!
We should be food soulmates – except for the reese pieces! LOL I would be terrible at this game I literally went GROSS at least 10 times at the options lol! I do love your alternatives provided – this was so fun!!
Sam @ PancakeWarriors recently posted…Cauliflower Tabbouleh
I know! Some of the questions were just…ew…but I made it work!
Seriously, there is something that just gets me with Reeses….actually all their stuff!
Fun! I love games.
I’d give up:
French Toast
Brownies
Crinkle cut fries
Bagel bites – not a fan of bagels
Sugar cookies
Ham – They’re are great vegan bacon and sausage options
Mozzarella sticks
Shrimp – When I did eat seafood I loved lobster and crab
BBQ Ribs – Again, I can veganize the other two
Tacos
Bread rolls
Beef, chicken, and pork – no way, no how!
Energy drinks
Skittles
Bagels
Mac ‘n cheese
Ice cream
Here’s one more for you – quinoa, rice, or oats?
O! I think I’d….omg…this is hard….there are so many things that use rice…and quinoa…and oats…..UNFAIR! Um…I’ll say oats though since they bother my tummy still….I’ll just have to make “oat”less granola 😉
Haha! I know that’s a tough one for me too. 🙂
I agree with you on most, although a lot of them I don’t eat anyways, but you’re completely crazy to ditch cake! I’d definitely ditch the brownies (even though i just posted a brownie recipe haha), because I could still have chocolate cake, which is close enough, plus all the other wonderful flavors of cake! And cupcakes are so adorable!
And I’ve never heard of Wink until now, but it sounds INCREDIBLE!! Must find that!
Natalie @ Feasting on Fruit recently posted…Vegan Plantain Brownies
Hahaha, brownie contradiction 😉 I’d just make carrot cake brownies and I’d be fine with no cake. But I don’t eat any of that stuff anyway!
Omg! You would love Wink! 10000000% allergy-free and vegan, and yea….pretty crazy!
This post makes me extremely hungry!
francesca recently posted…Cucumber + Mint + Lime Detox Water
I tried to fill it with beautiful food 😉
Funny, I agree with you on many of these! Except the sausage, but we can still be friends 😉 I’ve never been a cake lover and pie and brownies are just so much better. Also disagree on the reeses pieces if only because just the thought of skittles makes me nauseous! Way too much sugar, I have always chosen chocolate over pure sugar, plus I have fond memories of reeses pieces at the movies! And I actually don’t like wings or ribs, mainly because they’re messy and I can’t figure out how to eat them properly 🙂 And I agree curly fries are just fun!
Michele @ paleorunningmomma recently posted…WIAW: Off My Game
Haha! I know, that’s like your staple 😉
Yea, I’m a no go on any candy, really!
Curly fries….potato fun!
I LOVE this!! I might have to steal it 😉
Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl recently posted…What I Ate Wednesday: March 25, 2015
PLEASE DO! I want to hear you answers!
Such a fun post…we had a lot of the same answers! I don’t reallly like beef either!
Émilie recently posted…Get To Know Me: The Basics (And The Not So Basics)
That was the first meat to go for me….I could NEVER!
Fun!! Sadly most of those are things I can’t eat/not a fan of anyway 🙁 Now if it was between chocolate, peanut butter and wine, I’d have a major dilemma…
Bri recently posted…Giveaway time! Enter to win an H2O Audio Interval 4G Waterproof Headphone System!
Same, but I played along and tailored it to me 😉
Pshh…no wine! That’s easy…for me 😉
Ok, how are you realistically supposed to choose between cake, pie , and brownies……..that’s just not fair!! My heart would be broken to eliminate any one of them!
Channing recently posted…10 Lesser Known Travel Destinations
Hahaha! I guess that;s why it’s so hard 😉
i agree with all…. except the sausage. I am part german.haha love GF sausage.
Ick! I’ve always been grossed out by it!
Oh hell, this is difficult!!! :[! But…I’d probably go with:
French Toast (much as I love it, I rarely make it)
Cake (unless that includes cupcakes!?)
Crinkle-cut fries
Pizza rolls (WV’ers would murder me for this answer, but unless I figure out a way to healthify em’…nope)
Peanut butter cookies (I love peanut butter, but usually not in cookie form; it’s weird :O )
Mozzarella sticks (tends to have too much of a cheese to not-cheese ratio)
Mini burger sliders, but only if it means I can still have giant burgers. ;_;
Quesadillas (also usually too much of a cheese to not ratio!)
Buttermilk biscuits
Energy drinks
Skittles
Croissants
Mac ‘n’ cheese (too much cheese!)
Milkshake
The pork/seafood ones were the only easy ones since I don’t eat em’ anyway. 😀
Farrah recently posted…Reflections on Pediatrics I
Haha! Thank you for actually answering them! (unlike everyone else so far!)
Yea…some of them I just couldn’t “truthfully” answer since I just DON’T eat them (unless it’s a vegan/allergy-free version!) But I kinda feel you on the PB cookies. That was a bit difficult. I wasn’t sure which I should eliminate!
haha, of course! IThese games are a lot of fun, even though trying to imagine life without tiramisu was a little difficult. I’m actually going to have to revoke my cake one for brownies. I don’t eat desserts thattttt often, but no tiramisu/carrot cake/etc. ever is pretty depressing. I can always make blondies instead of brownies!
Farrah recently posted…Reflections on Pediatrics I
Hahahahaha! Loopholes 😉
Oh, goodness! This game is NOT easy. I love eating too much to play. Lol!
Natalie recently posted…Altering a Skirt in 5 Easy Steps
Hahahaha! It wasn’t too hard 😛
Some of these are tough! Others are not celiac/allergy friendly though haha. I think I’m with you on most of them except I would get rid of pork before beef. I still love me some steak!
Emily @My Healthyish Life recently posted…WIAW: Thoughts on Food Prep
I know! The only reason it was hard was because I don’t eat have these things, hahahaha! But still fun!
This is fun! I agree 100% with many of your answers but think the opposite of others haha.
