Healthy chili is absolutely a thing. But it's more like a bean-and-veggie stew then actual chili.

Healthy pizza is not what I miss
But kidding aside, what keeps me from eating pizza is:
1) The crust is too filling. I get 7 ounces per meal, and then I'm full. That's about what it takes to fill the box a deck of cards comes in, and any sort of bread just fills that up immediately - and then, as often as not, it converts too quickly into sugars because it spends almost no time in my stomach and goes right into my intestines, and then start to court the ravages of dumping syndrome.
2) My favorite toppings are too greasy, and a (very atypical) side effect I have from my surgery is I can't handle grease anymore. It makes me immediately, violently ill.
I miss bacon cheeseburgers and meat lover's pizza and sausage and barbecue brisket and all that stuff.
But I don't miss weighing 435 pounds. So I'll take this.
My wife had this too. But it got easier with time.
This one does have meat in it as well, but yeah.
That sounds like fun! That's actually a type of trip that I haven't done. All of my stuff tends to be out and back.

Is this @GasBandit from a mirror universe?
Baked bean bandit rains hellfire on English countryside
The headline says "bandit" but far from stealing beans, this villain has been distributing them. The "bean vandal has been dousing 'doorsteps, homes, and cars' with baked beans in the countryside village of Wonersh, Surrey."
“Local officers have received reports of incidents in Wonersh where beans and other food has been poured onto residents’ front doors and cars overnight,” a Surrey Police spokesperson told Metro UK. “The victims are understandably distressed by this unacceptable behavior.” No one knows who’s dumping the beans, and no one knows why.

I'm game
Eggs: Over easy
Steak: rare-to-med-rare
Milk: only for cooking
Alcohol: Scotch, neat
Warm drink: all coffee, all the time
Egg: Scrambled, in a breakfast burrito with salsa and maybe a bit of cheese.
Steak: Just give me a Hamburger.
Milk: ... milkshake.
Alcohol: Dark and Stormy, Cider, Mead or Absinthe.
Warm Drink: Mulled Cider or Hot Chocolate.

Milk: ... milkshake.
Alcohol: Dark and Stormy, Cider, Mead or Absinthe.
Warm Drink: Mulled Cider or Hot Chocolate.
Eggs: Depends. Soft boiled in the morning or when I'm sick, horse eye or over easy if I'm feeling good.
Steak: Seignant. Bunch of American wankers.
Milk: Skimmed.
Alcohol: Really depends on the mood. A nice red wine, a Geuze, a heady dark brown ale, a nice whisky neat, a gin-and-tonic, a limoncello-and-tonic, a well-made Moscow Mule, a highball, they all have their place and moment. I don't drink the same on a sunny terrace as I do in front of the fireplace after a 4-hour hike through the snow.
Warm drink: Green tea, and if I have to choose one in specific, Lady green (basically a soft sencha with bergamot).

What the hell is a horse eye egg? I googled it and everything was about botflies. Is this some Belgian madness?
Didn't you make a whole thread about how much you love coffee?

Something like that. Simply need to replace "love" with "loathe with every fiber of my being".
Probably egg-in-a-frame.
As for myself:
Eggs: Basted
Steak: Delmonico/ribeye, medium-rare. Salt/pepper to taste.
Milk: "Whole" (3.25%) cow's milk. Occasionally Silk "Very Vanilla."
Alcohol: rarely or as a mixer/flavoring (cordials, add a shot or two to other drinks for warmth/flavor)
Warm drink: Milk? I guess? But if they actually meant hot drink then spiced chai w/ milk.

Sunny side up? Fried on one side, with the yolk still whole in the middle, a little runny for preference, wit the white mostly solid. It's apparently not a name used in English, sorry :-P
Yes, sunny side up is the English term.
I might as well do this too:
Eggs: fried and runny, preferably with some grits, this is the only good part of being southern
Steak: medium-rare. Salt and pepper, some Rosemary and thyme if we're getting fancy.
Milk: Lactaid 2%
Alcohol: no thanks
Warm drink: coffee, iced. I live in Florida, it's too hot for drinks to not be cold.
Fantastic, I'm going to try to make it a thing in English.
