what foods are you addicted to?
 

We need a new thread in the food section!!
Do you have any foods that you can't stop eating? You eat the whole bag every time- or a food that you think about and crave and crave until you cave in and go to town with it?

Oh goddammit. Now I need to find some pringles.

Cheetos.

Baked.

Bring me my Cheesy Poofs, bitch!

I regularly make and eat a whole batch of pudding at one sitting. Hey, it's got calcium, right?? Ripple style chips dipped in A&E Party flavor sour cream chip dip. They must be forcefully removed from my grasp. Ummmmm, carbs.

ghetto cookies. You know...fake oreos in flavors other than chocolate?

My personal downfall is cheese. I am afraid to eat just a little or buy it, because it turns into a 3xday habit that I find hard to break.
Chips- I consider a 9 oz bag a single serving portion.

Dr Pepper...it's probably a good thing that caffeine-free regular Dr Pepper is not available in the Philadelphia area.

Queso. Most effectively, queso from a local place called Kerbey Lane Cafe--but any Tex-Mex queso will do in a pinch.

That was dinner last night, actually. Mmmmm cheese.

Twix. I love the texture.

Oranges, when they're really ripe and juicy.

I've recently developed a thing for beercheese soup and bread.

Pretty soon now I'm going to go buy some broccoli and lemon at my local overpriced-organic-food-store. I'll also eat a ranger cookie, because they're 79c, massive, and delicious.

I grew up on the DR. When I went to welding school in 59, Tulsa,OK and asked for it, was like Duh, what's that.

Really? I would think that it would have been popular down there, given that it comes from Texas.

One of the things I always find interesting when I'm traveling is the number of different sodas out there, and how the flavors vary from region to region.

Pringles.. Once you pop you cant stop in an understatement. If we buy them.. i wait until my partner is outside gardeing or soimething before i pop them.. otherwise i have to share and sharing a box of Pringles is just NOT an option.

Other things i eat on a weekly basis include:

Smoked Oysters with water crackers, vintage cheese and avocado spread. (actually thats more like my daily entree at night)

Cup of Soups.. now its winter i go through a box a day.. i live the ones with croutons.. spicy asian.. garden vegetabe and the ol favourtie cream of chicken with noodles.

SALAMI!!! or Pepperoni.. which either is readily accessable

Chai Tea - Vanilla Tea - Jarrah Hazelnut coffee - Instant Dendelion Tea

Hot chips and Gravy (best when the chips are soggy in the middle and crunchy on the ends)

No kidding. Try drinking a fanta in Czech Republic. They have flavors they don't even make here. Plus they use cane sugar instead of hfcs as their sweetner. I think I should import a bunch of that stuff and sell it by the roadside. Yummmm.

readink mi post ova again i realiszed that i cant spwell for shiat.

I aploiogixe to all those ceellarites who lyke to correct everyone elsess spwelling oh and and theior Gramma two. I dont know y you hve never targeted me before.. but thanx anywai - i jst tyoe in a rush.

sworry gys

You know what Fanta have just brought out in Oz?!! SOUR Fanta. It includes Sour Grape - Sour Apple and also Sour Rasperry. I havent tried one.. doesnt appeal to me much.

I go through phases... I'll have a hot food item for awhile and then I move on. I was on a peanut M&M kick for awhile.

My two standards:

Diet Pepsi.... love it! I've been drinking it since I was 14 and haven't stopped.
Cookies... any kind will do - I love them.

I remember when Fanta had 9 billion flavors spread out across the US (root beer, birch beer, red creme, white creme, etc.). Then I didn't see it for a while. Now, it's apparently back nationwide.

I got about four.

Pirate's Booty: I've eaten the whole bag before.

Taquitos: I can't remember the brand but the market in CA had ones I could have eaten a box of. $4 for 12 of them though :( The ones I find in Minnesota are total crap IMO. El Monterey would do well to steal the recipe.

Salt + Vinegar Pringles: They get my bitter and salty taste buds. I usually have to stop after 1/2 a can just so I don't overdo the salt.

Ceviche Tostada from El Tapatio in CA: Good plain, but I love to glop mine in salsa and hot sauce. My neighbor says it ruins the taste but it's a euphoric combo that gets my hot fetish, bitter lust, and salt love all in one bite. :love:

Yeah, I think it was the generic pop back then. If you had fanta you were either a. my grandmother's age b. also buying ghetto cookies or c. both.

Fanta is now trying to be "cool", I guess.

all of this talk of fanta is making me sing the commerical theme song...

wanna fanta?

Twizzlers.

Red.

Lesser brands or varieties (like pull-n-peels) will not do.

That's blasphemy. It's Red Vines or nothing.
And guacamole.
And Ruffles & French Onion Dip.

Penn Station or Steak Escape hand cut french fries dosed with vinegar. McDonald's french fries. Cheesesteaks, no onion, pepper or mushroom just extra cheese, mayo and lettuce. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.


And iced tea.

Eeeeeeauw.

That's not a cheesesteak. That isn't even a cheesesteak hoagie.

Point of order: nothing eaten more than 20 miles outside of Philadelphia is a Cheesesteak.

Mike and Ikes are my current sugar pills
Jelly Bellys (previous sugar pills)
Muenster cheese
Swiss Cheese crackers from Nabisco, also Chicken in a Biskits

my absolute fav is my mom's homemade blueberry cheesecake!! oh-my-god! that's usually what i ask for and get for my birthday! ohhhhhh, only 2 more months!!! i've GOT to get her recipe!

Carol ( my wife ) makes me a SCRATCH German Chocklet cake for my birthday every year , my step son makes me a chocklet chess pie for my xmas present every year !!!!!!!

Yes ,I am an un-apolijetic chocaholic !!!!!!! The darker the the better !!!!!!

The Dark side penut M&M's are the BOMB !!!!!!!!! Weird colors aside !!!!!

I am hoping that M&M figures out that people are really liking the dark chocolate M&Ms and add them into the product line permanently. After all, they now have peanut butter, mint, and cookies & cream flavors.

They NEED dark chocolate to round out that mix.

Oh I SOOOOOO Agree !!!!!!!!!

What? where are all these M&M flavours coming from! it cant be tru!! YUM YUM YUM!!

i love the originals, and they just brought out a "crispy" M&M and i LOVE them.. never heard of any others except the peanut ones tho! i wish i could go food shopping in another country.. JUST ONCE!

Yeah, crispy M&Ms came out here... I want to say at least ten years ago. Someday they'll sell all the other varieties in Australia too.

Spicy Cajun Pringles: Can't keep them in the house or they start replacing meals
Reese's Crunchy Peanut Butter Cups

I'm just coming off a Nachos phase as I've finished the last of the home grown peppers.
It'll probabaly start again in September when this years crop start to mature.

Really odd, but I love buffalo wings. I have to restrain myself from eating them every day, which is difficult considering a) just about every shop in my neighborhood makes a good batch of wings, and b) the wings I make are pretty damn awesome too.

Most likely it's because I love hot stuff. I drown most everything I eat in tabasco, but there's something about fried chicken bits soaked in wing sauce (I prefer straight tabasco and butter) that is so delightfully greasy and ... perfect.

Amen to keeping the darkside M&Ms... they ROCK! Especially the peanut ones.

I wish M&Ms would coat pretzels in chocolate and then cover that with the crisp candy shell that melts in your mouth, not in your hands. I think that would be the ULTIMATE snack.

Breaking news, whenever my mother or my grandmother want to lose weight, they snack on low fat popcorn and tabasco sauce all day. It gives you that heat and flavor, salt and crunch with minimal calories and no fat. Too bad I'm allergic to corn...But try it! It might cure your wing issue :)

I can't forget the carmel M&Ms perth's mother brought out from Las Vegas one year. I haven't seen them since.

and i thought i was the only one who liked that combo! have you every tried wing stop ? they're atomic sauce blows away hooters bentley.....

Not a food but...

Boylan's Soda pretty much every flavor I've tried is fantastic:
Creme -- the best
Diet Creme -- even bester
Orange or Grape -- for a change

okra and tomatoes... damn southern living! and grits.... and and and.. I could go on about food all day long, it's my one love and I'm a skinny bastard

Shucks, no location near me. Where the fuck is Liverpool, NY, anyway?

<A HREF="http://www.atomicwings.com">Atomic Wings</A> has overrun NYC, and I have to say, they make a damn fine buffalo wing. Choice of six levels of heat, plus three "sweet" flavors (for the weaklings). Truth be told, anything below "Nuclear" - while really, really tasty - is more like flavoring; Nuclear is steamy, and "Suicidal" is just kinda silly.

And then for you other northeastern types, <A HREF="http://www.cluckuchicken.com">Cluck-U Chicken</A> has got to be one of the best, greasiest joints out there. They used to have about 12 levels of heat. Not only could I barely eat just one "911" wing, the sauce made my fingers burn, too.

But goddamn I love it! :drool: :sweat: :yum:

Is so a Cheesesteak. Freakin' elitist.

No dear, it's not. I know...it's hard to accept, but if there is one thing that is truly Philadelphia, it's the cheesesteak. They can't be duplicated anywhere else. :)

Cluck-U is awesome...Rho and I used to live by two of them when we lived in DC. Good stuff!

There are three "genuine" Philly steak places here in New York, including a branch of Tony Luke's on Oregon Ave.

While Carl's and Tony Luke's are both pretty damn tasty, they don't at all size up to an authentic Whiz Wit from Sonny's or Jim's. I think it has to do with the amount of greasy drip, which was entirely absent the last three times I ate a cheesesteak in NY. Furthermore, the guys at Carl's didn't even understand my order and totally fucked up (whiz shrooms with), and then my friends wimped out and went with american cheese. Bunch of fairies, they are.

And 99 miles to Philly, in Astor Place, is just plain horrendous.

So, in short, I agree. Near impossible to get a good steak outside of Philly.

A cheesesteak is more than steak, cheese, and a roll.

What you describe, incidentally, wouldn't be a cheesesteak even if it were sold in the heart of Sout' Philly.

We use to have one of those in Fort Collins, CO. I think they had a bunch of other flavors besides just hot. There was some garlic kind I really liked. I don't know how many years its been, though, since the Cluck-U was changed into something else. It started out a 39 cent Hamburger stand.

I have a new addiction that has controlled my diet for the last two weeks-
potatoes and hot sauce!!
Sound gross? No, it's sooo good.

First, you thin slice the potatoes and bake at 450 degrees for 20 minutes. Then you toss them with 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter and dip in either Frank's red hot sauce or Tobasco chipotle pepper sauce. Yum!
Blue cheese dressing is a very nice accompaniment.

If you're feeling lazy, just melt the butter in the microwave with about 1 T hot sauce and toss it all- no need to dip. You can mix the hot sauce with the blue cheese, too.

Sorry- I have pms.

How about layering with a bit of butter before you bake the potatos? It'll make them nice and crispy like potato chips!

I drove by that place a couple days ago....it's got another chain in it now, don't recall what. I miss Cluck U. Great after-bar food.

I had totally forgotten about the 39 cent Hamburger Stand. That place was nasty. It actually replaced a der Weinerschnitzel in the same building. That was kind of a traumatic moment in my childhood.

breaking news, why did you have to go and put ideas in my pms-ing head?
I'm trying to control the amount of butter I load on them, but I've got to try that!

Yo, staceyv: News flash!!
http://news.google.com/nwshp?hl=en&g...entingPMS.html

Cheerios. Dry.

I am writing this as I am having some other breakfast cereal (generic Sugar Smacks) dry.

Any cereal dry is AWESOME! I love cheerios, smacks, golden grahams, chex, anything.

Steak with bleu cheese melted over it. :yum:

AND WHAT IS A CHEESESTEAK IF IT ISN'T CHEESE AND STEAK, HUH??

*sniff*

that calcium and vitamin D thing is BS.
I'm already eating and taking enough calcium and vitamin D supplements to put me over my daily allowance. I've already read everything about how to relieve pms on the internet, in books, and asked my gynocologist for advice.
Even the psychologist I went to said I don't have a mental disorder, but I seem to have a hormonal issue.

This month was really strange. I was spotting on and off for a week. That's never happened to me before. I also had strange cravings for fried onions. I ate too many and woke up with kidney pains. Also, I was extremely tired, bitchy, bloated, moody, depressed, unmotivated, my breasts hurt really bad, and like every other month, I kept thinking: "oh my God, this can't be normal. I must be pregnant!" (I get many many symptoms of early pregnancy when I'm pms-ing) And of course I wasted over $20 taking 3 different pregnancy tests before the bitch came.
Then I laid in bed with a heating pad for 36 hours, rolling, tossing and turning, grabbing, clawing and attempting to massage my stomach, and whimpering and crying from pain.

...Feeling much better now, thanks.

I used to think being able to write my name in the snow was my greatest advantage over you...Thanks for doubling my thankfulness quotient.

I know staceyv has probably already checked with doctor's, but damn. That is some very nasty sounding PMSing. The only time I've ever laid in bed for 36 hours straight is when I had the flu.

And all of a sudden I want some good French Toast with extra butter. And bacon.
And a large tomato juice with lemon in it. MMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

totally addicted to ice.

staceyv: :O

snobs: there is help for your addiction
