Food that calls your name
 

Are there foods that, if you have them on hand, they keep yelling your name until you go eat them?

Now, I like ALL food: veggies, meat, dessert, bread, candy, fish, eggs, you name it. Canned soup. Whatever.

Most things I can leave alone when I should. Even my Dove dark chocolate I can parcel out, two or three a day, and not go back for more. No, really!

But there are three foods that just won't give me any peace:

Pizza. If there is a pizza in the freezer, it won't stay there three days.

Ice cream. Just knowing it's in there drives me crazy. It's all I can think about until I go get some.


Chocolates/truffles. Not just chocolate candy, but actual chocolates in a box, or Lindor truffles. It's like I can hear them calling me....


*Thought of one more: watermelon

Shrimp and lobster...scream my name!

Like you I can be satisfied with a little dark chocolate.

Peanuts are moderate callers.
And I really like gummy life savers, but had to give them up
because of the sugar and fructose --I can't tolerate them at all, anymore. sigh

I do love pizza however. We get one a week, and that leaves 2 days of left overs! LOL The place near us makes a nice gourmet pizza without sauce...uses fresh tomatoes as a garnish. It is called Mediterranian ..lots of basil and rosemary, spices. Chicken and feta and mozzerella. Garlic crust. It is really really good!

In the summer....watermelon. Can't get enough of it. Also fresh veggies like kale, cabbage, squash, zucchini and okra. I crave them year round but summer is the best time to have them while they're in season.

In the winter.....fresh popcorn. Nothing on it. No salt. No butter. I love it just freshly popped and still warm. Pizza is a favorite for me but it has to be a veggie thin crust with light sauce.....and well done.

Anytime.......coffee ice cream. Can't resist it! :o

Today -- coconut, macadamia, chocolate chip cookies. I bought them at the bakery at the store this morning. I have "only" eaten one so far:rolleyes:

Potato chips and dip -- I can't buy them or I will eat the entire bag in a few days.

Anything with sugar in it will not stay in my house long. I could eat a cheese cake all by myself :rolleyes:

Pasta, with all sauces!!!

Almond Joys... 'nough said. :D

I can and will eat just about anything!

I buy frozen pizzas a half dozen at a time.

Home made pot pies, chicken or beef don`t last here.

Rice in large quantities, mixed with chicken or beef and a bag of mixed vegetables.

Pumpkin pie! With frozen cool whip!

An oven roasted chicken and vegetables or salad.

Roast beef with potatoes, carrots, onions, turnips, celery.

Large quantities don`t scare me, I like left overs, the microwave is my friend!

A good cheddar - sharp and white. I don't know why I don't like orange cheddar.

A good Black diamond from Canada or English Seaside or Cabot's (Vermont) extra sharp.

Yum. Best at room temperature.

Real mashed potatoes w homemade mushroom gravy. I sometimes ask for this on my birthday.

And oddly for me, Turkey or Buffalo jerky from Trader Joe's. I think it's the protein thing. I get tired of the dairy, fish nuts & beans or need some protein fast because w/o it my MS symptoms get worse. Yah, that's my excuse.

Snickers. Had my own stash at Halloween when it went BOGO

pizza.

Chocolate anything.
