Ledgie Food Addictions

[seeker007nmss]

What food are you completely addicted to? I am a milchaholic. I can even tell BRANDS of milk apart. (In a blind taste test). :D And it has to be WHOLE milk, none of this icky 2%, 1% pseudo milks.

[GypsySorcerer]

Stove-popped popcorn. YUM. :D

[WelshWitchPMD]

I looove chocolate but right now I am on a pseudo diet. :rolleyes: So right now 'no chocolate for me!". I have to 'enjoy' my 100 calorie Wheat Thins (which I like better then the regular ones) and Chips Ahoy!.

They tatse better with chocolate on them. Also with popcorn and a glass of milk. :nod:

[GateandGarden]

I'm addicted to cheese enchiladas. I could seriously eat one or two every day of my life. I don't know what it is. I don't know what started it. But I find myself thinking about them often. :lol:

I'm also a bit addicted to the Smartfood white cheddar popcorn.

I was addicted to that Dasani lemon-flavored water, but I've recently decided that it's kind of nasty, what with the Splenda and all, so I'm switchin back to normal Dasani.

I'm sure everyone found that fascinating. :p

:shocked:
OMG!! Those are my favorite!! I always get them whenever I go to a Mexican restaurant. I did not see them on the menu at Margaritaville, either. :(

[Jessica Leigh]

i love burritos... abso-freaking-lutely love them... i have a few places nearby that i have to have take out from a few times a week.. and they have to be those huge enormous ones that make you not need to eat for another day or so...

Livia took me to a place in austin with a couple of friends of ours a few years ago where i had the best chicken burrito ever... it was huge and everyone had finished their food and i was still working on it- i had to finish it... i don't even remember what it was about it that was so good... but at the end i dubbed it the best chicken burrito i had ever had... and i should know... i am a burrito connoisseur... i eat them everywhere i go. so if you're ever in austin texas you should go to el mercado and try their chicken burrito...

They were featured recently on Food TV Networks Food Finds. Looked good.

My current obsession are Yoplait Whips (currently eating some Strawberry Banana Bliss). They're amazing tasting--not yougurty at all.

[CelticGypsy]

Orange Spicy Chinese Chicken-General Tsao

[DownOnRodeo]

This Japanese omelette-pancaky thing called 'okonomiyaki'. It's basically just a delicious omelette with whatever you want in it. My favourite has potato and cheese. Fantastic!

<img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/256/2770/640/IMGA3818.jpg">

You can cook it at your table or have the staff make it. Probably looks terrible in the picture, but its a national favourite, and cheap! Ever seen it in the US? I've never seen it in Australia, but maybe California has some okonomiyaki restaurants.

[StevieNicksEO17]

I have an addiction to crab rangoon and stuffed artichokes. (Not together though) I seriously could eat either one of them right now.

[diamondsnake]

Iced Lattes from Starbucks are my downfall! I get a Venti Iced White Mocha with an extra shot of espresso, skim milk, and no whip. I am crazy for this drink- I drink several of them a week. Right now I am trying to diet so I haven't had one for a long time (five days!) I am fighting the urge to run down the block to Starbucks and get one. It is so hard dieting!

[diamondsnake]

crab rangoon

Yummy! I love this along with pan fried dumplings when I order chinese. I love chinese buffets too because you can have a little of everything. :D

[xxxmx]

it's all about the diet coke for me. i can kill a 2liter in the flash of an eye.

oh, and junior bacon cheeseburgers from wendy's...heaven for a dollar'seven!

[amber]

Which one am I not addicted to, is really the question...
Chips and salsa (the chips from a mexi restaurant) are the worst. Also I like to get my salsa from the mexi restaurant, too, but substitue salsa will occasionally be tolerated.
Cheetos are a bad one, too.
Any other chips
Mexican food - I've been eating burritos and chips and salsa since this Fri, interspersed with a few other things.
starwhite mints
atomic fireballs.

Really? You mean the secret's out? LOL I'll have to catch the rerun! El Mercado IS awesome!! I've never had a bad meal there. And their margs are deadly.

Watching Jessica savor that chicken burrito was hilarious! I don't know what makes them so special, but they are damn good!

My food addiction? Peanut butter. I have to eat some every day, or at least every other day. In fact, just a few minutes ago, I had 1/2 a pb&j sammich. I eat the reduced fat Jif.

[Dreammms]

Chocolate
Chicken Burrittos
Spanish Rice and Beans
Also love those kids Fruit Snacks

[GardenStateGirlie]

It's out. Much like our super-secret New Jersey hole-in-the-wall for good seafood. I don't often eat it but their shrimp are out of this world as are their homemade sauces (it's called Ike's). Thanks, Food TV...for ruining secret little spots everywhere :distress:

My mom used to give me celery with PB. I used to eat the PB out and throw away the celery :cool:

I just read about this in a book called "Untangling my Chopsticks: A Culinary Journey Through Kyoto" (or something like that...I'm too lazy to get the book). She's a food writer so she gives you the recepies at the end of each chapter, so I'm planning to try it!

And since I've been doing the Japanese thing my addictions of the moment are homemade miso soup and a panfried chicken dish where you marinate chicken strips in honey, shoyu (a type of soy sauce), oil, scallions, and sesame seeds for 20 minutes, pan fry it, and serve over rice. YUM!

[skcin]

Lately, I crave sushi a lot.

Pizza

Diet Pepsi

Pepperidge Farm goldfish pretzels or original cheddar

Dill pickles

String cheese

Dark chocolate

Sour candy (warheads, sour gummy things, nerds, altoids sours)

McD's fries

Tim Horton's English Toffee cappucino (sp)

[DrummerDeanna]

Food - now here's a topic I can get behind :D

lol....addictions...too many....again, I'm shocked that I don't weigh more than I do...

But here goes:

Pepperoni Pizza - pretty much from anywhere - I've never met a pizza I didn't like :p

Cheeseburgers - as Jessica is a burrito conesiuer I am a Cheesburger Conesiuer or however you spell it - I get them everywhere!! there are restaurants that to this day I've had nothing on the menu but a cheese burger....I LOVE them....had one this weekend in fact :D

Chocolate Chip Cookies...yum. yum. yum.

Brownies....

Okay - anything Chocolate really :p

Diet Cherry Coke

Wow I didn't even know that was Japanese. My dad used to make that a lot - my favourite dish of his!

Mmm...miso. Salty goodness.

For dark chocolate try Ghirardelli double chocolate chips, they are just heaven. :nod: This week the Dove Promises were on sale 2 for $5 at Stop and Shop, score!

I love cheese too. Ice cream, mmmm.

Extremely dark chocolate, those Swiss bars, what is it, 80%?

And curries. That's my comfortfood: a good curry. Love to make indian curry, but simple dutch "kip met kerrie" is what I have when I really need some comfort ;)

Addictions:
- cheese! Any kind really, I love blue cheese just as much as dutch cheese.
- salt liqorice. (sp?!)
- herring in mustard sauce.. I ate so much of it one time it I got sick, and now I can't really eat it anymore. Shame.

You're in a good place liking cheese. :nod: I was in Amsterdam for work years ago and I loved the breakfast with the cheeses and breads. Yummy.

[face of glass]

I'm addicted to onion soup, especially when you put some cheese and white bread on top of it to compensate for the overt healthiness. ;)

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate! Have been dieting tho so not eating any at all.

Pip

[kak125]

Hmm I have this addiction to cereal.

My favorite kind of all time is cracklin oat bran but I also love the kashi go lean cruch, the good friends with raisins, raisin bran crunch, peanut butter toast crunch and honey bunches of oats. I prefer them with vanilla soy milk. That stuff is to die for.

I also love smores and the chocolate pop-tarts. I could eat those everday but dont since they are bad for me.

Any type of blizzard from dairy queen but my favorites are the oreo and strawberry cheesequake. Good stuff!

I love bacon!! I could eat that everyday and when I was on atkins I ate it for one year straight. I try to only eat it once a week now. :(

Ranch is my downfall. It goes with everything!

[all the same]

I love bacon!! I could eat that everyday...

I am the same way with bacon. How is it possible for something to taste so good! I have a chef friend who added bacon to everything. He would roast potatoes with garlic, butter and LITTLE BITS OF BACON!!! So good! Yeah... bacon... *wipes the drool from his chin*

Other things I crave:
Sour candies (like gummies and stuff with that dreamy sour powder on them!!!)
Sushi (someone mentioned Miso! I LOVE MISO!!! and Shrimp Tempura too. Could live on the stuff)
Chips and Dip (quite possibly the worst thing a person can eat, but it is so good)
Chocolate
Lemon Tart (anything lemony. loves me the lemon)
Cupcakes

That's all I got for now!

[sara1998]

I'm all about the bacon, too! We have a hole in the wall place called Mann's Grille, and they deep fry their bacon. It comes out all crunchy and chewy, and they serve you about a pound of it, and damn is it good!

Also, as me and friends call it, chicken f*cking tacos (say it fast, it's funny), homemade, with lots of tobasco! OMG!!! To die for!

[cliffdweller]

El Mercado IS awesome!! I've never had a bad meal there. And their margs are deadly.

Speaking of deadly margs...have you ever been to Polvos on South 1st? Talk about your medicinal margaritas.. :shocked: We shared two pitchers with our German friends this weekend---they could barely walk outta there! Good times...:thumbsup:

[Livia]

Polvos you say? No! Sounds close to El Mercado, though....Mexican Martinis at the Cedar Door, another fave! :nod: Germans who couldn't hold their liquor? I would have paid to see that!

[Sugar]

Wow I didn't even know that was Japanese. My dad used to make that a lot - my favourite dish of his!



The Japanese cookbook refers to it as Tori no Usugiriyaki. :shrug:

Ah well, wherever it comes from, it's de-lish!

[cliffdweller]

Yeah, well, they aren't used to tequilla. They can drink about 40 beers and not blink an eye though! :laugh:

You MUST go to Polvo's. You'll thank me later. And I think you're right, I think El Mercado is down the street. Is it near Jovita's?

[cliffdweller]

Polvos you say? Mexican Martinis at the Cedar Door, another fave!

I'll have to try those. Trudy's has the best imo. Hmmmm.....I think I may drink lunch today. :laugh:

Deep Fried Bacon! all right! I thought that was only on the Simpsons... :lol: :lol: "Butter up that bacon, boy!"
Did I mention sausage? I have a serious thing for it. In fact, I just had an extreme sausage sandwich (no egg, substitute sourdough bread) from Jack in the Box. I try to keep sausage consumption at a minimum, since no one should really eat sausage or bacon, but sometimes I just break down. Oh, and I don't like bacon. That fatty strip part really grosses me out. I have to remove that part.

[Mari]

Cake Batter :D
Never mind raw eggs, salmonella...
Having a day off because it's a national holiday, and guess what I've been doing so far...

[ontheEdgeof17]

General Tso's Chicken :D :thumbsup:

I disected a cat in anatomy lab. It's name was General Tso. :D

[wondergirl9847]

I love chips (Cheetos, Doritos, Ruffles, Fritos mostly), chocolate (Cracker Barrel sells a giant Hersheys bar for 99 cents and I always grab one when we eat there. No, I don't eat the entire thing in one sitting. LOL), Heath ice cream bars (not the ones on a stick, but the square ones), Gatorade (lemon-lime only!) over crushed ice....is my main vice these days. :( I know it's bad for my teeth and I'm iron deficient.

McDonald's Filet-o-fish is one of my fave things along with Quarter Pounder with cheese. Those two are the only things I get at Micky D's. Long John Silver's chicken and fish are my fave ever. Chick-fil-a #1 with fries and a coke....yum. I love me some chicken. LOL

My #1 weakness....french fries.

[CreepingDeath]

My addictions-

Mexican food- I try not to have it too much, since it's fattening, but I LOVE it. And it must be spicy.
Fruity candies- Starburst, Skittles, Sour Punch, Gummie Bears, etc....
Slurpees
Lemon Lime Gatorade
Chips & Salsa


I don't eat any of those as much as I would like though.

[DrummerDeanna]

I've had a recent addiction to cookie dough - and then the dough that actually makes it to cookie form...:D I like the break and bake Nestle cookies....I have tried time and time again to make CC cookies from scratch - I just can't do it - they always come out weird :(

[seeker007nmss]

I get a kick out of the Iron Chefs show. Its on the cooking channel here. They take a Challenger chef and one of their famous "Iron chefs" and the have one hour to cook 5 dishes. The hook is.....they have to use a certain ingrediant...which they don't know until the show starts. They made the ingrediant Yogurt one day and the "Iron chef" gave a look like..."what the "F"?" :laugh: The dishes are judged by famous Japanese types.

I love that show! It kind of reminds me of those old Godzilla movies with the really bad overdubs. :lol:

Some of the main ingredients are just horrible though. Sea Urchin Roe? Pike Eel? Octopus? Turtles? Blech.

I love to eat.

[macmar71]

I love food! But it does a number on me from time to time but if you name it I probably like it. Right now, I am in a big pizza mode at the moment and ice cream sandwiches. :) :)

[SuzeQuze]

Mine used to come out flat but it was because I was over stirring the batter. They were flat with little chocolate mountains. :laugh: But now I make a mean chocolate chip cookie from scratch. :nod: You have to use butter, no shortening :eek: and no margarine :eek: just buttah, like Pattie said it. :lol:

I love to eat.

I love to eat too. So my list of things I don't like is much shorter.

Cooked celery.
Water chestnuts.

That's it! It's a texture thing I guess. :shrug:

But my favorite is chocolate, just had my daily dose of a couple of Dove Promises. I also love cheesecake and ice cream. The Italian patries here are to die for. I love love love sweets. I love chicken marsala. Filet mignon :thumbsup:. LOVE seafood, mmmmmm... salmon especially, and lobster and clams. My full on addiction is sweets, mainly chocolate. Then coffee, I love coffee. Basically, I have an oral fixation. :wavey:

[CreepingDeath]

I forgot to add chocolate. It HAS to be English though.

English chocolate > American chocolate

I like your list. I have 2 only also.
cooked cabbage/corned beef and cabbage
liver
ok, three. I love sausage links, and patties, like you get in Denny's, but I hate those fat sausages. I don't care if they're "chicken apple with herb" or whatever. yuck.
I basically have no food snobbery. Only food moods.

Dude, I left liver off, yuck. Is that really even a food? I was thinking of you yesterday because I got a slice of pizza with those little Italian sausages on it, yummy. I don't care for big sausages either, they gross me out. It's not the taste so much as the carelessness with the grinder, there's stuff in there I'm not supposed to be eating. Blech.

[kak125]

The way I always make my chocolate chip cookies is to follow the recipe on the back of the bag but instead of 1 cup of butter (that is 2 sticks) use 1/2 cup crisco and 1 stick of butter and your cookies will rise perfectly and taste great. I think they taste good with just butter but they dont seem to rise. They end up flat for some reason.
