What exactly does The Dude eat??
In histoy we know Jesus (not "The Jesus") ate fish, bread, fig newtons, and wine. Buddha ate alot, then didn't eat, then he ate just right. Jewish and Muslims "don't" eat pork and cow ass. Most followers of these religions try to replicate what their dieties ate so they can feel closer and have a holier connection with them.
So we know The Dudes mothers milk is Caucasian/White Russian. I thought I saw a bag of Frito's somewhere. Some Chinese containers, cup o noodles. Anything else?
Then perhaps we can create the perfect Dude diet. Or whatever, just eat what's within arms reach. But we know that a decent amount of effort must go into searching out the the perfect half and half.
Well, we do know from interviews with the Cohens that they thought Jeff Bridges was too fit for the role of the Dude at first, and they asked him to bulk up a bit. I suppose that means that whatever the Dude eats leaves him generally healthy, but pleasantly plump. I think it's safe to assume that he doesn't binge on junk food, but he probably doesn't count calories or fret too much about saturated fat either.
Keeping in mind that the Dude enjoys doing a J from time to time, it wouldn't be out of character for him to get cravings for salty snacks with some frequency. Trying to "read" the Dude in my mind, I get the feeling he likes a lot of refined carbs (bagels, pizza, pretzels, chips.
Of course, we already know he stopped at the In & Out Burger after the uh...what have you; but that seemed to be more Donny and Walter's idea. The dude was detachedly staring out of his broken windshield the whole time.
My effort is in the perfection of the Caucasian.
The point is not to get caught up in trying to emulate the Dude by eating what he ate. Wrong thinking.
Dudeism is about being true to yourself not the assumed diet of the dude.
Much like prayers, ceremony, and evangelism, Dudeism is about living the life as true to yourself not by being distracted by trivialities, its there that religions begin to fracture and move away from the point of practicing the religion.
90% of all wars are fought over 10% of the differences in detail of religions.

Well, I do believe they went to the In & Out burger, and if I'm not mistaken the dude had his hands snackin in a bowl of bar mix nuts. It's safe to say if Walter and the Dude stop at the diner, they likely eat at them too.
Oat sodas are a good source of caloric intake too.
I'm pretty sure the dude diet is whatever you want it to be. I will say that I heard a quote here once that said that the truly lazy man stays in shape so that he can easily move from couch to couch. Or something along those lines. And I don't think i've ever met a truly hefty dude before.
My favorite food is pizza. If there is something more dude than that, i've yet to find it.
Live the life don't try to eat the life!
I have to say I think I agree with Meekon on this point; it seems a little silly to me to worry about diet (beyond "don't eat McDonalds twice every day," or other obvious health-related stuff)
Especially in the light of my Roman Catholic upbringing. ("NO MEAT ON FRIDAY." "Uh, okay. What'll we eat then?" "FISH." "Fish?" "YES. FISH." "Fish is meat." "NO ITS NOT, ITS FISH." "So, uh, the meat of a fish isn't meat?" "RIGHT." "Riiiiiight...")
All that said, I recently tried a fried peanut-butter-and-banana sandwich. I can see how Elvis might have been inclined to eat himself to death on 'em. A little messy for my taste, but it was a fun treat.
Peanut butter and Chilli's is meant to be very good.
I personally haven't tried it but like the sound of it.
Salted Peanut Chews dudes! Simple to make but oh so "nasty"! ;D

This is one of those times I wish I could just press a thumbs up button like on youtube.

I'm into slow food mostly because I'm Italian and that's what we eat were I'm from.

well it's not the only thing i kinda like to taste foods from all over the place.
sometime the simplest things are the best ones
This may sound a little corporate or what-have-you, but I have to say I am a *massive* fan of Dream Dinners. You show up, they have everything ready to go, you don't have to clean a thing, and you just throw the frozen shit in a bag in your crock pot and bam. Dinner.
I must also say that my breadmaker produces quality Dude Food. Chuck a few things in and a few hours later, warm bread.
Dream Dinners + Crock Pot + Bread Maker = Laziest Cook ever with Delicious Dinner.

i never heard of this before now, but it sounds awesome. i don't live near any myself, but its very dudely.
how exactly do you do it though? I read that you come in and they have ingredients and kitchen ready. But you still have to bring your crock pot? not sure how it works if they have a kitchen already.
It would be cool if i just brought a pot roast and used there space, i dunno. the wiki page doesnt give a great description. indulge me dude
It is quite a neat idea in a lot of respects; we used them for awhile - then it got a little too expensive. I don't recall cooking anything there; generally you just go around the kitchen weighing and bagging up the ingredients for each recipe you have purchased. We found a cheaper place where it was pretty much the same thing but you also had the option of of having it all bagged up for you (which we favored) but eventually that got a little too pricey, too. Pretty cool idea - can't recall where they sourced their food - you might want to look into that - generally good quality.

"Rock star Vatican assassin" Ha! Good one, mang!
Vultus, you (and anyone who appreciates Italian cuisine, Italian-American cuisine, or just food in general) might find this of interest:
http://www.npr.org/2011/03/24/134628158/how-italian-food-became-a-global-sensation
Terry Gross interviews the author of "How Italian Food Conquered the World" ... it's on just right now on my local radio, I'm not sure when it airs initially on WHYY (its "home" station) but the npr site there says it should be available to listen to later today.
just listened to this here in socal, 88.3 around 11:30, made me want some 'marinara' pronounced just the way that author dude said it!
I miss those John Goodman Dunkin' Donuts commercials. His voice always made me want to grab a donut and coffee. He was the first to say that sorry slogan "America runs on Dunkin'" Then he quit and lost like 1000 pounds. LOL.

I have that problem if I smoke a J and then watch the shopping channel. I find it very difficult not to buy stuff in that state of mind.
Wow...donuts are a deffinately a dude food.
Been snackin on some combos today myself.
I get the feeling that the Dude would try anything once. He wouldn't be a binger--he would eat as much as he was hungry for, then return to his Caucasian. While his natural diet would be easy American, if someone set something in the nature of haute cuisine in front of him, he would find it durned innarestin'. He might even savor it the way he does a j. However, the most complicated dish he would make for himself would be a bowl of cereal.
When you ask, "What Would The Dude Eat?" I think about ease of process more than whether his food is processed. Which brings me to m5's point about practicing religion. Takin' 'er easy in the kitchen is what he does. What he eats is the result, which is just as likely to be a can of stewed tomatoes as a bag of pork rinds.
first of all..i commented on this in another post without realizing it was a separate topic..is OK..nothing's fucked here..i'm just an AMATEUR!
Anyway, I also stated in another post that i tend to pick up lifestyle cues from my father...he's almost 90 so I'm hoping his genes will fit snugly around my biological what-have-ya...anyway, my father has always had the strangest dietary habits but they work for him...he grew up on southern food and continues to enjoy deep fried fish every week (and that IS meat to him), butter pecan ice cream which he sometimes eats out of the carton, daily dr peppers (of which I carry on as a proud tradition)...
he does eat veggies out of his own garden so maybe there's a lesson there..seems like he follows a dudeist path..moderation ..take it easy and enjoy... unfortunately i am given to salty chip binges but i enjoy raw veggies and fruit just as much...
I've heard a lot of good things about these primal diets..lower carbs,...lots of sat fat...meat..supposedly based on humankind's naturally evolved preferences (assumes that grain based agriculture was kind of the downfall of our nutrition)..
anyway, enjoy....listen to your body and..this may sound nasty, but pay attention to the ..umm..end product..if you shit in the woods like the pope with regularity and without difficulty...you're probably right on...
that about wraps er up
Wow! I never noticed.
The Dude never eats or even speaks of food.
Not even In and Out burger. He remains uncommitted and uninterested.
Interesting.
Y'all just made me hungry...
I think we could probably surmise that the Dude, being a latter-day hippie, would still be into hippie food - granola and such. You know, tofu, tempeh, maybe almond milk. Whole wheat bread. Oh, and don't forget those special brownies!
Anything cooked on a BBQ would be dude, would it not? Very healthy way of cooking, add a few oat sodas, a few buddies, a few laughs....
I actually think the Dude might be veggie as he doesn't eat one of those famous in n out burgers....he's either veggie or just not hungry!
I really really want one of those burgers but they don't have a franchise over here. :(
DUDE Likes Burgers, Tacos, Burritos, Ramen, and Tuna Sandwiches to go with his White Russians (Caucasians). Just got my copy of The DUDES COOKBOOK "GOT ANY KAHLUA The Collected Recipes of the DUDE" It's awesome. Funny as Hell! I made Dudes Cowboy Chili and Burritos... Sweet!
