What are some foods you cannot stop eating once you have a bite?
I have the worst weakness in the known world for my local grocer's macaroni salad--christ, I go through the whole thing in like 3 days :(

Love baked beans too--and I pay for that in spades later :scared:

What about you?

1. shepherd's pie made with chicken-style seitan and mushrooms
I eat enough for four whenever I make that.

59. Mmmmmmmm, sounds delicious! But there's a thing about shepherd's pie...
Edited on Thu Sep-06-07 12:35 AM by IntravenousDemilo
A lot of restaurant menus feature "shepherd's pie" made with ground beef and it makes me crazy.

BZZZT! Wrong! Shepherd's pie can only be made with sheep flesh. I mean, duh, what kind of meat are shepherds most likely to have on hand?

If it comes from a cow, it's called "cottage pie". I don't know what it should be called if it's made from seitan, but I'll bet it's damn tasty, even if it's not really shepherd's pie. I need your recipe, as I have a couple of vegan friends who'd probably love it. It is completely vegan, right?

34. Pistachios here, too
And that's the only semi-healthy thing on my addicted-to list. I shouldn't have carbs, but get me near popcorn, fries, brownies, or frosted molasses cookies, and look out. I'm a hazard.

6. Mayfield chocolate chip ice cream.

14. Chex snack mix
Yeah, just the standard bagged kind you can buy at the grocery store. I've never been sure what my deal is with that stuff, but I've been that way with it since I was in junior high. I don't even buy it because if I do it rarely lasts for more than a couple of days!

Edited on Tue Sep-04-07 05:19 AM by hippywife
kind of nut. I'm pretty sure it's the salt! ;) But then I do the same thing if they are in ice cream. And I don't go after plain ice cream that way regardless of the flavor.

17. anything breaded in panko
Edited on Tue Sep-04-07 06:59 AM by philosophie_en_rose
My mom makes panko fried steak that is sooooooo good. I can't stop eating it, so I try not to ever be around it. It's just that good.

She marinates very, very thin steaks in ponzu sauce and soy sauce. Then breads in panko. It's tangy and crispy and good.

21. Most simple carbohydrates are addicting for me
Most baked goods including bread and pastries, pasta, white potatoes. And like you, I eat until it's gone! I can't have just one serving. So, I'm better off not having them in the house. Period. (Although, I'm having hash browns w/ my eggs this morning. x( )

Det. Thorn: It's people. Soylent Green is made out of people. They're making our food out of people. Next thing they'll be breeding us like cattle for food. You've gotta tell them. You've gotta tell them!
Hatcher: I promise, Tiger. I promise. I'll tell the exchange.
Det. Thorn: You tell everybody. Listen to me, Hatcher. You've gotta tell them! Soylent Green is people! We've gotta stop them somehow!

I can't even buy it. I tell myself I'll only have a few pieces and savor it little by little, but I can't. I devour the stuff. The container from Trader Joe's is gone within a day and I've consumed something like 1500 calories. YIKES! It's like there's crack in it.

54. Also: Bing or Rainier cherries (when they're perfectly ripe), watermelon,
these ultra-sweet little orange cherry tomatoes from the farmers market, and crunchy red grapes. But I don't worry too much about eating these things because they're good for you (although the cherries will really make you pay later).

60. Smartfood, the white cheddar popcorn snack
I will eat it till it's all gone, and my cat Alice sulks unless I let her lick the residue off my fingers.

Also olives, beef jerky, and cashews. I've always been a saltoholic, but that's OK since I have low-to-normal blood pressure, unlike the rest of my family who are taking HBP meds.
