Just wondering, anyone ever do baked potatoes as a meal-in-itself? And if so, what sort of toppings did you use or have available for people to load out their potato?

Cheese out the wazoo, sour cream by the bucket, butter by the block, and salt by the container. These are the three ingredients used to make the perfect little potatoes. But then another ingredient was added by accident...
Bacon Bits?

I take small, multi-coloured potatoes, but still big enough to be round rather than finger potatoes, and glaze them in oil and seasoned salt and herbs and a few dashes of Worcester sauce and Smoke, and then thoroughly cover them in olive oil, wrap them in foil, and bake them on 400 degrees + for a very sustained period of time until you can bite directly through the flesh and the starch is almost separated from it. These are enormously flavourful, a complete meal, and if dried of the oil, easily stored, packed, keep for a day with no refrigeration, and filling; so I've used them as trail food and to keep going without stopping for food on long motoring trips before.

Perish the thought. Use actual crumbled bacon that you cooked yourself.
Not what I meant, but that sounds very good and thank you for sharing. I should really make that up some time.
Probably repeating myself, but is there a difference between Doctor's Sausage and Bologna?
Man, I wish I knew what the german name or equivalent for that sausage was.

Ask and ye shall recieve: Fleischwurst.
But... I have been using that... Ah... Okay. Okay, I guess my gut-feeling was correct in that regard.
Thanks for the quick answer.

Apologies about that! Yes, please do, it’s one of my favourite simple foods. Tell me what you think when you do.

So being in China for a month at a time, you really start to miss western food, thankfully I found a pizza joint nearby my apartment which is really really solid. If you ever are in the Dongguan area and see a Laurens Pizza, I recommend it, they usually have english speakers working too so that helps.
But do you know what i miss most,
Pulled Pork BBQ Mac N Cheese and good beer.
God it just oozes freedom.

Well, if you can kip over to Japan, I can recommend a great place south of Tokyo.

As you can tell everyone has their favorites and some get pretty creative. For me, a mix of very thin and sauteed diced onions, sauteed green and red bell peppers, slices of bacon or turkey bacon, baked beans or a good lean chili (not too oily), and a sprinkling of seasonings works well for me.
That sounds pretty tasty to me, though then and again that does not sound tasty to everyone. Does give me some ideas.
I apologize for double posting, but did something relevant to my current quest. We made baked potatoes as part of the family dinner, and as my part I provisioned the toppings. Decided to turn them into Tex-Mex nacho/taco style. Were pretty good, and I used copious amounts of hot sauce. Essentially Taco Toppings (sans lettuce) plus some regular baked potato toppings. I drowned mine, and due to my sharp tastes it didn't drown out the potato flavour, but worked nicely with it.
We just made some more of those Dutch baby pancakes with strawberry sauce, and it turned out so nice I had to take a photo:
Very simple. The pancake is made in the oven in a square Pyrex or equivalent, and then cut into like 8 sections. You make the strawberry compote on the stove, in a saucepan or a small pot (a reduction of sugar and fresh strawberries), drizzle the sauce over the pancakes, add some powdered sugar, maybe a side of bacon and eggs or whatever, and serve.
There are various ways to go about doing it, including doing the pancakes in a skillet:

We use flour, milk, eggs, and a touch of vanilla for the pancake mix. Dutch baby pancake mix is very eggy. It’s almost like French toast. Having eggs on the side might be a bit much, because you’re already eating a mouthful of them in every bite.

Dutch Baby Recipe
This large, fluffy pancake is excellent for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dessert any time of year And it comes together in about five blessed minutes Just dump all of the ingredients into a blender, give it a good whirl, pour it into a heated skillet sizzling with butter, and pop it into the oven
Strawberry Compote (or Strawberry Sauce)
A quick and simple Strawberry Compote with a hint of orange is the perfect topping for pancakes, waffles, and even ice cream.
