I love spicy food.
Just mention to me food which are spicy, and my mouth will start watering. Chili, tom yum, curry…I can’t help it.
Are there any food just by its mere mention will set your mouth watering, craving for it?
Nerds.
Moving from IMHO to Cafe Society.
He’d asked about food, not just “stuff you put in your mouth”…
Yes, I know it’s candy. Allow me a silly joke, c’mon 
Chocolate. Solomillo (filet steak), specially solomillo pork roasted with strips of bacon wrapped over it, which is one of my specialties and damn it I’m supposed to be behaving, not going off in search of pork! Blackberries.
Cocktail onions.
Oh, and when I lived in a Hawaii as a kid, there was a company named Yick Lung which made a candy made from dried plums called Li-Hing Mui. When ever I think of them, my mouth starts a-waterin’.
“suckling pig”
I’ve never eaten anything like it, and I’d probably be grossed out if I actually encountered one, but the phrase always evokes the sense of a great feast.
McDonald’s double cheeseburgers.
(Flips head back, Homer Simpson-style, opens mouth wide, wags tongue out and makes a gurgling noise).
Thai.
Cinn-a-bons. MMM! I have MAYBE one a year and I feel so guilty all the way through it. But mmmmm!
Lettuce.
I don’t know why, but I’ve had a pavlovian response to lettuce for years.
Crispy beef.
There’s a place near the place I used to work that nails the spicy crispy beef. Now I (finally) work somewhere else and it’s far out of my way, but I’ll very occasionally treat myself to a trip all the way out there. Takes my whole lunch hour up to drive for some hole-in-the-wall non-authentic Chinese, but man, it’s worth it.
Also, ribeye steak. Mmmmm…
Why yes, I do like to eat cows. Why do you ask?
I made a friend bring me a pack from Hawaii. Good stuff!
Really delicious buffalo wings, with a slight crispiness to them and DRIPPING in hot buffalo wing sauce.
I had a wagyu NY strip prepared perfectly at a Ruth’s Chris in Hartford early in the summer [and they omitted dousing it in butter when I asked them to] That ranks up there for perfection - meltingly fantastic rare beef, and the little rim of fat around the edge crisped up perfectly.
I went to a pig roast back in 1978 that was a graduation party for my brother and a few of his friends from high school. The pig was done perfectly, slow roasted and basted for hours. The skin and underlying fat was crispy, the meat was pull apart tender. They caught a lot of the drippings and used them to baste roasted pearl onions and baby potatoes. I have rarely ever had pig cooked so perfectly. Bourdain would have been in heaven.
I still remember my first lobster - plain, drawn butter, a couple of lemon wedges. tiny new potatoes boiled up and served with garlic butter and salt. I still eat lobster the way my dad taught me - pick it all out of the shell, drizzle it with lemon juice and drawn butter. If you can get them to give you the salty garlic butter from the new potatoes, it is even better.
And the one that always gets me drooling - a classic old fashioned christmas feast - roast goose, potatoes, sweet and sour cabbage, plum pudding with brandied hard sauce.
Damn I’m hungry now
Indian food. Just saying it makes me salivate.
Top pot doughnuts apple fritters.
I can resist every other doughnut made by any place, just not these apple fritters.
Chocolate. And I mean this quite literally. I have caught myself drooling over chocolate and man, is it embarrassing. hopes no one notices her wiping off her mouth quickly
Bacon, cooked so that it’s uniformly crispy with no chewy bits, so the fat just melts. Hard to do right, but when it is…hoo, boy.
Sashimi.
mmmm, fish. I’m very Gollum-like in my appreciation of fishes.
Thai and Indian. Japanese too. And Chinese! Oh also, steak, hamburgers, Italian, Mexican…
I’m easy.
