I will eat store-bought cookie dough right out of the tube. The entire package, in one sitting. I do use a spoon; I have a friend who peels the tube and eats it like a giant banana. I cannot be trusted around a can of black olives. Once open, the can will be empty in about four minutes. When I was a kid, I’d drink the olive juice. I like to dip my French fries in chocolate milkshakes. A super-thick Frosty from Wendy’s is perfect for this. If I drop an M&M on the floor, I’ll just pick it up and eat it. How about you? Anything you need to get off your chest? ---

I’ll admit that I love cream cheese and grape jelly sandwiches. Or tomato sandwich with Hellman’s and tomato cut into in big fat slices. Occasionally french fries dipped in mayonaisse. ---

I’m going to eat a McRib for lunch. With supersized fries. mmmmmmmmmmmmm! ---

I always use tuna in water, and I ALWAYS drink the tuna water. I LOVE it! Joe ---

When I was a vegetarian (for 10 years) I never gave up pepperoni. So, I guess I wasn’t a “real” vegetarian. But that’s all the meat I ever ate: a few slices of pepperoni from the salad bar, every now and then. I heart pepperoni. ---

I love tater tots dipped in sour cream. Like the OP, I also love cookie dough tubes (seriously, does anyone ever actually BAKE those?) but I can’t eat a whole one in one sitting–not even close. It’s funny how much more cookie dough I could eat than cookies, though. I drink dill pickle juice to this day. Someone once told me that was a sign of dehydration, and that drinking pickle juice was similar to drinking Gatorade. Don’t know if that’s true or not–I just love the taste. ---

I am a fast food addict. It is only through sheer willpower that I only go to Burger King an average of once per week, and while I feel guilty (and large) afterward, I savor every last bite. ---

I’ve posted this on the boards before, but I will say it again because it bears repeating. Hormel Chili + Velveeta + Tortilla Chips = Mouth Orgasm ---

Ditto on the french fries and chocolate milkshakes. I love circus peanuts. They have to be fresh and squishy and so sickeningly-sweet-smelling that they make my husband want to vomit. Just talking about them makes me want them right now. I often eat leftover spaghetti or lasagna for breakfast. I warm it up though, unlike when I eat pizza for breakfast. ---

> [@El\_Perro\_Fumando](#): > > I often eat leftover spaghetti or lasagna for breakfast. I warm it up though, unlike when I eat pizza for breakfast. Same. In my mind, there is no difference between “breakfast foods” and “rest of day” foods. I will eat my leftover Chinese for breakfast! And sometimes, I get a little mad inside when I can’t get a burger or sandwich at the deli before 11:00am. ---

> [@TheMerchandise](#): > > And sometimes, I get a little mad inside when I can’t get a burger or sandwich at the deli before 11:00am. I’m the same way. I get kinda miffed at the fact that I can’t get an Egg McMuffin at 4:00 in the afternoon. ---

I love garlic! I put garlic in almost everything I cook, except oatmeal. (I tried it in oatmeal once, and it was nasty.) There’s some garlic in my lunch, right now. Mmmmm. Basically, I eat a head or two of garlic every day. ---

One of my favorite things to pack for lunch is a mixture of Hormel no-bean chili (the kind with the grease puddle on the top of the can)and plain white rice. I mix it together then heat and eat. It’s the perfect lunch food - tasty, filling and cheap. ---

i drink massive quantities of buttermilk–at least 3-4 12 ounce glasses a day. they only sell it in half gallons here, so i have to go at least weekly and buy 3-4 at a time. at least it is made from 1% milk, or i’d be a fat ol’ cow! ---

Hello, my name is tschild; I am a tsatsikiholic. Sometimes of an evening, I remember that i have no meeting at work scheduled for tomorrow, the colleague on the next desk is still on vacation or on a business trip tomorrow, and there are no personal or party commitments on the next day. This happens every few weeks. Then it’s off to the Greek restaurant a few streets away. Fried aubergines with tsatsiki, salad with a dollop of tsatsiki, moussaka with a nice helping of tsatsiki. Next day I sit in lonely splendor in the office (foreplanned, see above), stinking away. ---

> [@Scarlett67](#): > > My ultimate comfort food is Kraft Macaroni & Cheese (Kraft Dinner for you Canucks). Yep, the blue box. Yummmmmm. Yeah, it’s pretty much been my favorite food my whole life. My mouth waters whenever I hear that cheez-mixy noise. 🙂 > [@El Perro Fumando](#): > > I love circus peanuts. They have to be fresh and squishy and so sickeningly-sweet-smelling that they make my husband want to vomit. Just talking about them makes me want them right now. That tiny high-pitched sound you just heard was my faraway scream of horror! I eat sour cream out of the container with a spoon.
