What is your food addiction?

[Maine Mary]

For me, it's Sherbet (of all things)...That cold, fruity taste; I just can't seem to get enough of it! :9 I hadn't eaten sherbet in years until this summer. I have no idea what brought it on, but now I can't stop eating the stuff.

What food keeps you wanting more?

[Droopy]

1. Ben and Jerry's New York Super Fudge Chunk ice cream

I'm on sort of a diet and whenever I get a craving I will eat a serving of that ice cream. It doesn't hurt the diet too bad if I don't eat the whole pint at once.

[Maine Mary]

7. Yum. Good Choice

But you must have incredible strength to keep from eating the whole pint. Here's to you!

:toast:

[KitchenWitch]

2. Chocolate

[Maine Mary]

8. Yum!

Have you ever tried Lindt chocolates? OMG, are they good!!!!

[u4ic]

11. Damn them!

They make HUGE chocolate bars that are a foot long...and they always seem to crawl into my supermarket basket...:grr:

[KitchenWitch]

17. Yes

they are the bomb.

[Robeson]

3. Pizza.

[Maine Mary]

12. Maine pizzas aren't the greatist.

I'm originally from NJ and never realized how good NJ pizzas were until my family moved here. French people just don't know how to make them.

But, on the upside, I guess it's just as well. If I lived somewhere like NJ, I'd be pigging-out on pizza every day. :-)

[ZombieNixon]

41. I'm from New Mexico.

Mexican food in Illinois just isn't the same. Even in Chicago.

[BigMcLargehuge]

4. can't get enough of...

The Stuff -

[marzipanni]

9. I wouldn't touch The Stuff!!!

[BigMcLargehuge]

10. GET HER!!!!

(begins shambling towards you while vomiting something that looks like shaving cream)

[marzipanni]

16. HA! It's in your eyes- you can't see me!

But, hey, if The Stuff really isn'tsomething that looks like green shaving cream, what ISit ???

[marzipanni]

5. Dark chocolate

in small daily doses. Sunflower seeds or peanuts, or toasted almonds if I have them. My little rats are eating more seeds and nuts than oats; I think they are trying to gain a little insulation for winter.

So, Maine Mary, do you have a favorite sherbet?
And have you ever been to any islands off the coast of Maine?

[Maine Mary]

18. My favorite is Lime

But orange would be a close second.

As far as your Q... only once and that was years ago. I used to be i HS Band and one time we went to perform with other HS kids on an island called Vinalhaven. The ferry carrying us there was also bringing a huge load of fisheads for bait. Most of my friends got sick.

I live inland. It's beautiful here in the northern appalachian mtn range.

[marzipanni]

22. LOL, fishhead odor and seasickness...

that'll take your appetite away!
As for place cravings, sometimes I definitely crave Maine.
As a child, I spent many wonderfilled days on little Squirrel Island, and in high school had many fun long hikes in the mountains of Maine and New Hampshire with my buddy, who has lived near Kezar Lake since then.

Oh, hubby loves Maine, too, although his family loved it so much, they up and left for California over a hundred and fifty years ago. ;) Still, he was totally blown away when, in a Maine antique store, we stumbled upon a wooden spar plane that was made by his great-great grandfather. Though bummed out when he saw they were asking 800 dollars for it, he left it there knowing it will never be nailed to the wall of a theme restaurant.

[LaraMN]

6. Mozzarella sticks and canned cherry pie filling.

Not at the same time.

[SIU_Blue]

13. mine is

saltines with whipped cream cheese. Wow, that looks terrible when you type it, but it really is delicious!

[Lethe]

15. oh man i got a better one than that!!!!

Easy Cheese and TRISCUITS!!! HAH!


this is one that i stumbled upon while i was camping once......Vanilla Wafers and Bean Dip. LOL

[wryter2000]

32. You both have it almost right

Cream cheese and Triscuits. Yum.

It used to be the case that all triscuits were made in Oakland. No wonder, they're so good.

[Lethe]

14. taco bell.......this is serious

at college, my friends and me had a serious addiction to TAco Bell. Don't laugh, i mean I think they are seriously putting addictive things in their food. We ate there almost every day. We actually had a rating system for all the taco bells in our general area, and knew some of the employees on a firstname basis.

To this day I still get cravings for TAco Bell and Pepsi, out of the blue.

[Droopy]

19. You sound like me talking about beer and cigarettes

Yup, food can be addictive.

[lildreamer316]

20. I had a thing about

if I am eating a mcdonalds burger and fries I HAVE to have a Coke. Go fig.

[Draill]

21. Pringles and Funyuns n/t

[Lethe]

24. Funyuns can cause severe gas combined with beer

oh yes, it can

[Maine Mary]

25. You left out Cheese Curls

One time, before we were married, my ex-husband came home from college for the weekend to see me. His roomate gave him a ride.

Anyway, prior to the trip, they had been at a Maine Clam Fest/Keg party. Chris (my x) drank and ate too much. And to make matters worse, he ate a whole bag of cheese curls on the trip home.

Long boring story short, he puked clams and cheese curls all over his suitcase full of clothes. That combo makes me want to :puke: every time I think about it.

Sorry, but I just HAD to share that story. :evilgrin:

[Celeborn Skywalker]

23. Cheeseburgers

and Little Debbie snack cakes. I can down a whole box of those puppies in one night!

[hyphenate]

26. pineapple

I crave it for some reason.

[NaturalHigh]

27. Biscuits and gravy.

I can't get enough.

[NewJeffCT]

28. Chocolate Chip Cookies

especially fresh ones right out of the ovens. I like the regular style mainly, not the double chocolate ones or white chocolate or anything like that.

[Magrittes Pipe]

29. Poppy seeds.

It's almost as though there's some substance in them that makes them habit-forming. Sometimes I like to process them into a paste which I smoke. You know, if I'm in the mood for an after-dinner smoke. It's almost as if it were a "drug" of some sort. I wonder if there were a way to distill their glorious essence into something injectable or snortable. Then we could bypass the annoying eating part. :shrug:

[GalleryGod]

30. Coffee Cake ! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!

The thicker the crumb crust and the more buttery the cake -the crazier I get !

Great to have you back:loveya: ,M.M. !

[wryter2000]

31. Refried beans

Weird, but true. I can go weeks without them, and then I go on a jag where I eat them five or six times a week. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Cooked pinto beans keep very well in the freezer, so I always have a supply to refry.

Occasionally, I'll get on a cabbage thing, too. Gotta eat cabbage. That happens a couple of times a year.

My favorite food in the whole world is homegrown tomatoes. But because that's so obviously right and sane, I don't consider that an addiction.

[Z_I_Peevey]

36. For the past seven months,

it's been Ranch Style Beans with jalepenos for me. Every damn day. I keep thinking the craving will go away, but it's the only thing that hits the spot for me.

[wryter2000]

39. It's pretty good for you

Especially if it doesn't have the bacon grease that my beans have. :evilgrin: Protein, fiber. Jalapenos probably have lots of vitamin C.

[fortyfeetunder]

33. Popcorn

Buttered or caramel are my weaknesses. Kettle corn is OK too but I only do that once in a while.

[flvegan]

34. Tater tots.

Evil little nuggets of fried tater goodness...

[smbolisnch]

44. Have you ever had Ore Ida Crispy Crowns?

They are vegan.....And so good!! :)

[flvegan]

46. Oooh, you just HAD to go there.

Even less tater, even more crunch! There are onion one's, too.

Drool. Slobber.

[smbolisnch]

47. Oh yes, I did.

The onion ones are great. I have some in my freezer now! :P

[RayOfHope]

48. Mmmm, onion tater tots. My fave. n/t

[supernova]

35. Sugary and Starchy stuff

When I start eating it, I can't stop.

Not just chocolate, but potato chips, pasta, even hummus to a certain extent.

I've been eating to much of them lately and gaining weight like crazy. :-(

I need to reread about hi-carb withdrawal again. It does work for me.

[billyskank]

37. Chocolate

and not "proper" chocolate. I mean the too-sweet milky Cadbury's kind. :9

[SlavesandBulldozers]

38. those peanut butter wafers

i wanna say they're nutter butters, but I think they are called something else (nutter butters are cookies, these are like wafers). they are basically peanut butter creme inside of these crispy wafers and they come in like 3 sheets of squares. do not let me near those things because I will eat the the bag and start crying when they're gone.

[ZombieNixon]

40. EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE food! But I hate eating. It takes too much energy, especially early in the morning. Life would be easier if I could just sit around while Norwegian lesbians feed me.

[Left_Winger]

42. My home-made pizza

[Justpat]

43. Chocolate. n/t

[ignatius 2]

45. Hot chocalate with lots of whipped creme on top. It chases away my blues

and makes me feel all warm inside.Most times,anyway.

[Xipe Totec]

49. Beans & Chorizo with Flour Tortillas

Soul food to this Norteño boy!

[Lars39]

50. I was absolutely addicted to raspberry sherbet last year.

Practically inhaled the stuff. :9
