Recently, The New York Times reported on the phenomenon of "Girl Dinner." Originally a TikTok trend, Girl Dinner is an elegant mlange of snack foods that, taken together, comprise an entire meal to be enjoyed solo. Think: bread, cheese, grapes, nuts, olives, wine. Husband Meal, the go-to dinner a man eats when his spouse or significant other is away and he's home alone, is not this. You're never going to see a photograph of it on your feeds. In fact, Husband Meal is about as spiritually removed from Girl Dinner as you can get.

I needed to test this theory with other men. And who better than the gentlemen of Gentlemen's Quarterly? The answers, if slightly sheepish, included a variety of secret gastronomical delights:

"A grocery store rotisserie chicken over the sink."

"A gigantic wok full of Spam fried rice that I will eat for dinner one night, put the rest into the fridge, and then over the course of the next few days just grab out of the fridge and eat big spoonfuls of cold."

"Wings, or enough Chinese food that they put in two to three place settings."

"A lot of simple pasta with olive oil and Parmesan. In some ways my palette hasn't evolved so much since I was five years old."

"My fiance, fortunately, does not suffer from Man Chef Brain so I would wait for her to go out of town and then sort recipes by the longest time possible. Once, I marinated a pork shoulder for three entire days and then enjoyed it in front of some 30 for 30 documentary."

"Mostly I just eat my kid's food. Best case scenario is Bell & Evans frozen chicken tenders or Annie's mac and cheese. But sometimes something weirder like Dr. Praeger's 'Broccoli Littles' or fish sticks. To make it more adult, I will place any of these things on a bed of arugula or mixed greens."

"Toast with like three tablespoons of butter and sardines. Enough butter so the sardines stick. Flaky salt, squeeze of lemon."

Gutbuster sandwich.

You take a sausage, stuff it with cheese, wrap it in bacon and shove it in a deep fat fryer full of lard.

They are indescribable.

All right, Cheesy Blasters! You take a hot dog. Stuff it with some jack cheese. Fold it in a pizza. You've got Cheesy Blasters
