Definitely not emotionally. Chemically-driven (hormones driving emotions) behavior has no use to me in that particularly vague regard, absent of further context citations.
Sleep paralysis demons infest your home and you can see them all day long, every day, without being in sleep-paralysis state. They're friendly too. How do you leverage that?

I use them to bounce ideas off of during worldbuilding moments and delegate some of the tedious research to them, collating and editing the results until things are shipshape.

A 1938 vintage copy of Mein Kampf with a German stamp of a public library in the town where I attended high school that was annexed into the Third Reich in the period between 1939-1945. I find it interesting it remained "around these parts" if you will and that I can keep it as a part of a horrible past that still needs to be remembered. I used to have an ashtray made out of a hoof by an artisan from one of the Polish interwar period cavalry regiments, but I traded it for... a handful of bayonets, I guess? Can't recall now.
How often do you find yourself looking for a certain item, being absolutely, positively certain it should be "right there" only to find nothing, give up and then find that blasted thing in a completely different spot once you don't need it that much anymore?

No idea. I don't keep notes on such occurrences.
If anything you touched that you already fully own until this point, turned to food, but you're not allowed to buy any more food, how long do you think you'd stay alive?

Really anything that's tasty af to me. Chili, steak I cooked, stuffed pizza, a platter of shrimp with seafood cocktail, sauerkraut with sausage and potatoes, sashimi and sushi platter, cheeseburger with bacon, burrito bowl, tacos... etc etc etc

Both of buckets, keep the contents, stick some googly eyes onto said buckets, and we're golden. Contents can stick around anyway.

I would order a pizza and feed it to cats.

A deluded chicken for sure.

Q: What are some of the most ridiculous foods in England along the lines of mushy peas and beans on toast?
A: LMAO. England has an absolutely magnificent collection of foods that sound like they were invented by people who lost a war against seasoning.
And if you think mushy peas and beans on toast are ridiculous, we haven't even scratched the surface of British culinary criminality.
Here are some genuine English dishes, ranging from questionable but understandable to what the actual fuck?
The British culinary hall of shame
1. Chip Butty
French fries stuffed between two slices of buttered white bread. That's it. A carbohydrate sandwich with a side of carbohydrates. Sometimes ketchup or vinegar joins the party.
2. Stargazy Pie
A Cornish fish pie with actual fish heads sticking through the crust, staring toward the heavens. It looks like an aquarium suffered a catastrophic structural failure.
3. Jellied Eels
Pieces of eel cooked and then chilled until suspended in gelatinous broth. Traditionally served cold. An East London specialty that looks like somebody emptied a bait bucket into a Jell-O mold.
London Museum
4. Toast Sandwich
An actual historical English recipe: one piece of toasted bread placed between two pieces of buttered bread, seasoned with salt and pepper.
Yes. Bread stuffed with bread. British cuisine achieved nuclear fusion between poverty and imagination.
5. Faggots and Peas
Traditional meatballs made with pork offal, often liver and heart, served with gravy and peas. Particularly associated with the Midlands and Wales.
foodsofengland.uk
The name alone would cause an HR department in America to spontaneously combust.
6. Black Pudding
Sausage made with pig's blood, fat, and oats or barley. Fried and served at breakfast. Honestly, blood sausage exists throughout Europe, so England doesn't get exclusive credit for this one.
7. Pease Pudding
Yellow split peas boiled into a thick paste, often served with ham. Imagine hummus stripped of most of its personality and handed a British passport.
8. Toad in the Hole
Sausages baked inside Yorkshire pudding batter. Despite the name, no amphibians are involved. This one actually sounds pretty damn good.
9. Spotted Dick
A steamed pudding containing dried fruit, traditionally made with suet and served with custard.
en.wikipedia.org
Somehow, an entire country decided this was a perfectly normal thing to ask a waiter for.
10. Bread Sauce
Milk thickened with breadcrumbs, flavored with onion, cloves, and other seasonings. Traditionally served with roast poultry.
Apparently, bread wasn't content being a sandwich ingredient. It needed to become gravy.
11. Bubble and Squeak
Leftover mashed or boiled potatoes and cabbage or other vegetables, fried together into a patty. Named after the noises traditionally associated with cooking it.
Honestly, a decent way to use leftovers.
12. Pie, Mash and Liquor
Meat pie and mashed potatoes covered with an unusually green parsley sauce called liquor. Traditionally associated with London's East End.
Guide-to-London.net
The dish itself is reasonable. The radioactive-looking green puddle is where the visual presentation goes off the rails.

To be fair, some of these foods have perfectly sensible working-class origins. Cheap ingredients, limited refrigeration, food scarcity, and the need to stretch meals explain a lot.
And English cuisine has some genuinely excellent dishes: steak and ale pie, beef Wellington, Yorkshire pudding, Cornish pasties, and sticky toffee pudding.
But the toast sandwich?
Three slices of bread, one of which has been promoted to filling.
That's not a recipe. That's bread reorganizing its management structure.
