Pizza, chips, cheese, bread.
I think I can become vegetarian as those are my favourite food and I can make do with a simple margherita pizza especially if it's a proper restaurant one cooked in the right oven. I forgot Nutella and walnuts.

If you meant diet as in to lose weight, then I can tell you I lost lots of weight in the past just by not eating junk food, fried stuff, sugar. I still had chips but oven chips not fried and I didn't eat things like ragł for example.
I wasn't eating a lot of veg or doing exercise but still lost lots of weight.

I would probaly eat out in Michelin star restraunts all the time, thats how they do it in Chelsea, but I would still try to eat within calorie limits and alternate days, no deserts except once a week.

Also I would buy everything organic so I get no antibiotics or pesticides in food. 80% of world's consumption of antibiotics are used in meats and this has caused the resistant strains of super bugs in hospitals.

Organic is defintly one of the keys to the perfect diet. Also a very varied diet of superfoods like blueberries, spinach, kale etc. It's also important to get high calcium into your diet as your body doubles it's fat excretion when you do. Cheese is important, goat or Feta if you are lactose intolerant.

There are two BBC Horizon specials, people need to watch, one is called 'How to be Slim' and the other is 'The Truth About Food - How 2 Stay Young & Beautiful'.

Knowledge is power! You can afford Organic on almost any budget, it's often very little price difference between organic vetables, eggs than the convential ones. Meat can be double the cost but if you shop around, you will find stuff for the same price. Also, always eat Wild fish, it has double the omega 3 of farm fish.

I spent a lot of my free time reading about food as I've had health problems in my early to mid twenties and I realised food I was eating was the main factor.

Seared Scallops - followed by....
Lobster with garlic butter...hmmm, better have something green....
aspargus, with hollandaise sauce

and if I have room...treacle tart and custard, but I definitely get the skin off the custard...

I can dream, can't I?

A primal/paleo diet but 100% instead of the lukewarm 60 - 70% that I follow now.

Sometimes though the craving for carbs and junk must be satisfied

I'm quite happy with my diet at the moment. I have soup for lunch, yogurt, crisps, fruit and jelly during the day.

Dinner I have a massive plate of vegetables (Like almost a kg I reckon, Turnip, Onions, Carrot, Green Beans, Tenderstem, Pepers, Mushroom, Sweetcorn) with some kind of meat, usually between Chicken, Lamb, Salmon, Pork or Cod (not really a massively Beef eater) and some sauce/marinade

Then supper I have some toast and cold meat, some frosties and then depending on how much I've worked out at the gym, some biscuits and sweets.

I love my diet at the moment, only thing missing is Chocolate which I gave up for lent, but only a few more days to go on that one!

Very rich people will have their own personal chef.

If I had one, I'd order freshly made vegan food from a different world cuisine every day.

Chinese one day. Steamed buns. Dim sum. Gyoza, noodles, fried rice, sweet 'n sour.

Indian the next. Curries, chapatis, samosas, lassi (vegan yogurt).

Mexican the next.

French the next. Delicate sauces.

British the next. Massive great homemade Lincolnshire 'sausages', roast potatoes.

Indonesian, Russian, Italian, Arabic, Turkish, Vietnamese, etc. etc. etc.

Hmm..... It would all have to be calorie controlled so that I don't gain huge amounts of weight.

Given this, I strongly suspect that it would never happen as any suitably skilled chef I tried to hire would probably look at the requirements and run a mile.

I'd have someone prepare me delicious meals, 3 times a day, each containing less than 300 calories, so that I could have the occasional glass of wine/packet of crisps/bar of chocolate.
