What is your favorite food indulgence?

[prolesunited]

If you didn't have to worry about calories, dietary restrictions, fat, cost, etc., what is the one food you could eat a ton of?

I LOVE ice cream, especially Ben & Jerry's. If I needed a good pig out, that's what I would go for.

What do you crave?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. My dear prolesunited......

Well, I couldn't eat a ton of it.......

But my craving is for dark chocolate! :9

But I only eat it in small quantities.........so damn good!

[Maddy McCall]

2. SUSHI! with lots of wasabi

Had it tonight. I love the stuff.

[enigmatic]

9. Oh man, that looks good

I need to head to my local sushi bar this weekend now...

[Patiod]

16. I'm a sashimi girl myself, with maybe a spicy tuna roll

Eat it like crazy when I'm on the road -- not too filling for a 9pm dinner, and keeps the expense account auditors happy - you can have sashimi, a tuna roll, and a glass of wine for <$40.

No ginger, but plenty of wasabi

[Lethe]

60. seconded! i would eat it everyday if i could

me love sushi

[WindRavenX]

3. sushi w/ a ton of pickled ginger

I could go for some unagi right now....

[enigmatic]

4. Steak and Sushi

I could eat it every day if I could...

[unsavedtrash]

5. Flan.

Flan everyday maybe a couple of times a day.

[u4ic]

6. Chocolate

:9

[fizzgig]

7. yes, i know this sounds gross

but if i could, i'd sit down with a tup of cool whip and a can of cherry pie filling

i love cherry pie filling

[crim son]

11. It doesn't sound gross.

I like it on cheesecake, because my mom always made it that way.

[u4ic]

12. I love it, too

:thumbsup:

[MissMillie]

19. cool whip is evil

:puke:

[JackBeck]

33. Delete.

Wrong place, sorry.

[Hotler]

67. You every had dunp cake?

Its like a can of crushed pineapple, with a can of cherry pie filling on top and covered with a box or two of Jiffy white cake mix and doted with pats of butter and baked. That's the shit right there.

[fizzgig]

72. omg

that sounds wonderful...

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. The one I'm indulgin' in right now

Garlic mushroom cheeseburger and steak fries.

:9

[crim son]

10. Salty: nachos. Sweet: ice cream.

Thirsty: a greyhound.

[Lautremont]

13. Old Dutch.

[QMPMom]

14. Sushi, Pho and DQ Blizzards.

[MissMillie]

20. I've never had a blizzard

but I'm w/ ya on the other two!

[Lumily]

15. Ben and Jerry's Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream.

Tons of it.

[PlanetBev]

56. Ben and Jerry's is supposed to be coming out with a new flavor soon

Putting on the Ritz. It was one of the contest entries. Chocolate covered Ritz cracker pieces in God knows what kind of ice cream.

I'm ready to challenge it, whenever it hits the market.

[MissMillie]

17. all of them

seriously... I can binge on just about anything and be happy.

[Patiod]

18. Chips and dip

I can devour an entire tub of dip and/or an entire bag of chips (whichever runs out first), which is why I NEVER buy them.

When I'm depressed, it's rice with chicken gravy....

[dropkickpa]

21. Not big on sweets

But I could eat a good rare to medium rare filet mignon or steak everyday(YUMM!). My mouth just waters anytime I think of filet.

Also plump fresh strawberries (I have been known to plow through a flat of strawberries in just 2 days if they're good). When I make strawberry shortcake, it's usually this miniscule hunk of cake, about a pound of sliced up fresh SB (no sugar or anything added), and about 2 tablespoons of cool whip on top. Mmmmm, I loves me some strawberries. My mom laughs at me when she sees me do this, as she's real big on the cake and whipped cream part of it (not so much anymore now that she's diabetic).

[ThomCat]

22. Fried potatoes.

:9

I don't have them often, but I love them. Doesn't matter if it's french fries, potato chips, home fries, whatever. If it's fried potatoes then I'm there.

[Callalily]

23. Oh yes,

sushi! Here is my favorite, unagi sushi

[Lowell]

24. Curry Chicken

Penang style. In coconut milk with thai basil, green peppers and onions over a bed of brown rice.

[LostinVA]

25. Kozy Shack Rice Pudding

YUMMO!

[MissMillie]

29. I had some this week: tapioca

fabulous stuff!

[LostinVA]

32. Their tapioca is my second favorite -- YUMMO

[PlanetBev]

55. I loves me some Kozy Shack

Tapioca, rice, chocolate, vanilla...you name it.

[NewWaveChick1981]

26. Pizza.

:9 I love it dearly! (See my signature line...:rofl:) And I also LOVE Baskin-Robbins Pralines & Cream ice cream.

[YankeyMCC]

27. BBQ Pulled Pork and Cornbread and

Baked Beans - but it's not just calories and fat that's of concern with those ;)

But I also love my homemade granola or my homemade cashew butter both of which are generally healthier but I could eat them as much as my favorite BBQ dinner.

[youthere]

28. You might be better off asking what foods I DON'T indulge in!

Here are a few favorites:

Sushi
Pretty much ANY Asian type noodle concoction
Nuts-particularly pistachios and walnuts
Hummus
Olives-any flavor/type
mashed potatoes and gravy (this is a particularly dangerous indulgence for me as I am unable to eat less than a metric ton of them)

and about the only "sweet" I can't say no to is Key Lime Pie.

[MissMillie]

30. I'm w/ ya

hey, if you like pistacchios, my sis flavors some up pretty well. She even has a website to sell them online.

www.houseofnuts.com

[youthere]

31. cool! Thanks!

[fudge stripe cookays]

34. Pasta pasta pasta.

My waistline is a testament to how much I love it in all forms.

And Ben and Jerry's. Great minds think alike!

[prolesunited]

46. So, what's you're favorite flavor?

I'm partial to anything with chocolate in it. New York Super Fudge Chunk is a particular favorite. :D

[fudge stripe cookays]

50. Mint Oreo, Chunky Monkey, Cherry Garcia,

or Phish Food!

reprehensor likes Super Fudge Chunk, but it's almost TOO chocolatey for me.

[prolesunited]

71. Hush, now

There is no such thing as too chocolatey! ;-)

[Critters2]

35. Potato chips--not the baked ones, neither--and onion dip.

I could live on 'em!!

[JackBeck]

36. Homemade bacon cheeseburgers and french fries.

I could eat that meal forever.

[grace0418]

37. Well, since I've started on my lifestyle/eating habits change last July, I crave the

strangest things sometimes. Of course I always crave (and probably always will crave) cookies and cake. I really miss those, and have to allow myself some every once in awhile. And chocolate, although I do have a little almost every day (very dark, full of antioxidants).

But the surprising craving I seem to be having is toast. Warm, buttered toast. Lately I've had that craving so strongly that I think I'm going to start crying if I don't have some buttered toast. Luckily I've found a local bakery that makes a low-carb, whole grain bread that I really enjoy, so I let myself have toast every once in awhile.

By far the indulgence I've enjoyed the most since starting all this has been berries. I never used to allow myself berries very often because they're so expensive. When I would buy them, I felt like I needed to do something special with them because they were such a rare treat, which would inevitably result in the berries spoiling before I could use them. Now, since they are considered a superfood, I buy them like crazy. They're cheaper than vitamins and much tastier, right? I found that Costco has incredible blueberries and Trader Joe's has the best red raspberries. I put a half-cup or more on my yogurt every morning. YUM!

[seemunkee]

38. Peanut butter and beer

Not necessarily togethet.
Peanutbutter I eat with a spoon right out of the jar. There are times when I don't pay attention and before I know it I've eaten over 1000 calories.

[SoyCat]

39. 2 rows or blocks a day of an extremely dark organic chocolate (over 77%).

[Left Is Write]

40. Ice cream, cake (homemade from scratch), pie, cranberry almond granola,

mashed potatoes and gravy, mashed potatoes and gravy, mashed potatoes and gravy, spaghetti with sauce, pizza, macaroni with butter and parmesan, deviled eggs, mashed potatoes and gravy, mashed potatoes and gravy, mashed potatoes and gravy.

Wait...did you say just ONE food?

[BOSSHOG]

41. Blackened Shrimp Po Boy Dressed (extra onions)

with a side order of fries and an ice cold bud draft (or two.)

[GenDem]

42. Fresh, juicy, charcoal grilled, ground sirloin burger

topped with grilled and caramelized onions, portobello mushrooms, and green peppers on a whole wheat bun. No condiments necessary, with the exception of a dollop of ketchup.

[Strawman]

43. Pizza

Chicago style is the best but any style is good.

[Mugu]

44. I knew that coming to this thread was a mistake.

I just got braces on my lower teeth and have been unable to eat anything other than tomato soup and plain yogurt. What I wouldn’t give to be able to eat a slice of pizza or a big cheeseburger.

Regards, Mugu

[ceile]

45. pasta!

Preferably with some sort of cream sauce and any kind of seafood.

[toadzilla]

47. Avacado tempura.

sooooo delish.

[LaurenG]

77. Do you have a recipie for that?

It sounds really good. :9

[Lyric]

48. Ooooh boy. I have a list.

Steak--either filet or good thick ribeye, rubbed with a bit of salt and pepper, cooked medium.

Frito's "Scoops" and warm Salso con Queso dip. I can eat a whole bag if I'm not careful.

Homemade mashed potatoes, made MY way. That means potatoes cooked in garlicky chicken broth, hand-mashed with a whole stick of real salted butter and some pepper, then smoothed with the hand mixer with some buttermilk or half-and-half added to make them creamy. Best with homemade chicken gravy.

Butter Pecan ice cream--I love the brands that are PACKED with big pecan pieces, like Hershey's.

Pepperoni, sliced colby cheese, and Ritz crackers.

My special omelette, made with crumbled bacon, Jimmy Dean reduced-fat bulk sausage (it's meatier!), sauteed fresh mushrooms and sweet onions, and shredded colby jack cheese, topped with a dollop of sour cream with salt and pepper. TRULY a heart-attack on a plate, but absolutely to die for. I eat this maybe once a *year*, and keep a close eye out for chest pain afterward. :rofl:

Homemade meatloaf and/or meatballs.

[gemdem]

74. I think my heart just stopped...

It all sounds so good. The way I'd eat if it wouldn't flat kill me. Hell, my arteries hardened just reading your menu. :P

[mentalsolstice]

49. Raw Oysters!

With plenty fresh horseradish and Tabasco (no Texas Pete crap for me). Sushi! Yum! Salmon...gotta have it at least once a week! Lobster, I wish I could afford it. I guess you can see a pattern here...if it swims, I'll eat it.

[querelle]

51. Pâté de Foie Gras

With a fresh crusty baguette. Is it true that pâté is now illegal in Chicago?

Q

[RebelOne]

52. Lobster, lobster and more lobster. n/t

[Parche]

53. favorite

T-Bone (rare) and Lobster..............salad (ranch dressing) corn on cob
lemon merengue pie (graham cracker crust)

[Hotler]

69. I'm down with that!

that's good stuff right there. :thumbsup:

[PlanetBev]

54. Beware Hagen Daz Mayan Chocolate Ice Cream

that combo of chocolate and cinnamon is lethal.

Once you try it, you will be hooked forever. I could skip dinner and eat it every night.

Another indulgence? Pancakes or French Toast, with a thick slice of ham on the side. Also curried chicken or shrimp, but not always worth the price you pay with curry farts.

[zanne]

57. Pork Roast

I haven't eaten meat in five years, but when I smell that I have to get away from it because I'm too tempted.

[Montauk6]

58. French Fries dipped in Russian Dressing

[Shine]

59. It's hard to choose just one.

sushi
Chocolate
bread
pasta
pastries
pie, all kinds
german chocolate cake
I could go on and on.....

[conscious evolution]

61. Fresh green boiled peanuts

I have to boil two batches at once.One to munch on while the other is cooking.

If not peanuts the next would be steamed oysters

[Cannikin]

62. New York cheesecake.

[Shell Beau]

63. That white cheese dip and chips that they serve at Mexican restaurants!

I could live off of that stuff! :9

[SPKrazy]

64. Mmmmmm!

and salsa!

[Shell Beau]

65. I love to get a little of the salsa and some of the cheese on my chip!

Mmmm! I am hungry just thinking about it!

[SPKrazy]

68. Me Tooo!

There's a place here that has really good white cheese, and really good salsa

they go together really good. Had some last night as a matter of fact. It is making me hungry thinking about it now.

[Leo 9]

66. Trans Fats

Just kidding.


Who is BanTransFats.com?

We are the organization that sued Kraft in 2003 to eliminate trans fat in Oreos.

Result: Kraft eliminated trans fat from Oreos and reduced or eliminated it in about 650 other products. Click here and here for information.

The Oreo lawsuit had a huge "domino" effect. The publicity that the lawsuit received created public awareness about the trans fat issue and triggered an avalanche of events including the FDA labeling rule.


We are the organization that sued McDonald's in 2003 for misleading its customers into believing that it had switched to a lower trans fat cooking oil.

Result: As a result of the litigation, McDonald's agreed to inform its customers that it had not changed to the lower trans fat cooking oil by placing prominent notices in all of its restaurants nationwide and in the media. It also agreed to pay $7 million to the American Heart Association for a trans fat program. Click here for information.

73. So do you think the lawsuits

and organization are a good or bad thing? I'm a little confused by your post.

[Hotler]

70. STOP!!! You folks are killing me here....

everything you all have mentioned sounds great anytime. I think taste buds are a gift of god and should be exploited as much as possible. For me it's a toss up of BBQ and peach cobbler or apple dumplings.

[Seabiscuit]

75. Filet Mignon (with Bearnaise sauce), Lobster tail (with butter), Greek Salad, Profiteroles

All downed with a bottle of 1996 Chateau Canon la Gaffeliere Saint Emilion Grand Cru Bordeaux wine.

[Auggie]

76. Pizza, with a good Chianti

[hyphenate]

78. Chocoholic here

Anything chocolate, all the time.

Ice cream is my favorite, and while I crave B&J's, I've found a nice new one for now. Edy's Slow Churned is great, and it doesn't even come close to tasting like "diet ice cream." On the West Coast, it's under the name Dreyer's--same company. Right now my favorite is Double Fudge Brownie.

I make a killer vegetarian stuffed pepper with rice, tomatoes, onions, cheese and almonds. Smother it in tomato sauce, and I could eat one every day.

If I could get restaurant quality every day, I'd be eating Pad Thai or Cashew Chicken--unfortunately, my friends in NE don't like Thai food as much as I do, and I end up going alone to find new Thai restaurants.

[sinkingfeeling]

79. Peter Pan peanut butter. There are 32 jars of it in my cupboard right now.
