I’ve just come back from three days in France and I’m jonesing for some _pain au chocolat_ in the worst way. Whimper. ---

Doritos. I have to avoid keeping any in the house, since I am unable to resist eating the entire bag at one sitting. ---

**Buffalo Chicken Wings**. It’s absolutely impossible for me to eat a normal serving (8-10 or so). Once I start eating them, I just want to keep going until I am stuffed. And even then I want them again the next day. Indian food too. Anything spiced in with traditional Indian spices. The more often I eat it, the more often I want it. Mmm! This thread is making me hungry! 😉 ---

Like \*\* Mars Horizon\*\*, Buffalo Wings. Spicy hot, slightly crispy on the outside, drenched in sauce, then dipped in chunky blue cheese dressing. Anytime of day, anywhere. Since I realized I like plain yogurt all by itself, I’ve been eating that with diced cucumbers and a little fresh mint like a fiend. Also Mount Olive Bread & Butter pickle slices. Been eating them by the handful… ---

The first thing I thought of when I saw this thread was dried mango. I’m glad others agree. I’ll also second Indian food. The range of spice mixes is always great. (We had a woman at work who was sure the samosas from the sweet shop near work were made by people from her family’s village.) I think I’ll need something from the restaurant next door for lunch today. I’ve always had a weakness for crunchy salty things (except potato chips) so my two big weaknesses are tortilla chips and a local company’s “Cajun Mix” - rice crackers of several kinds, sesame sticks, corn nuts, cashews, and almonds, all covered in a salty Cajun-spice mix. The ethnicity is a little confused, but I could eat it forever. Sometimes I’ll pick up a pack of something labelled “Ginger Candy / Ingwer Bonbon / Gember Bonbon”, a chewy candy from Indonesia with 8% ginger, according to the package. I thought it was a good idea to stay away from it when one of my teeth had a temporary crown, but it’s time to start again. ---

There is an ice cream truck that comes by my office every day around 4 p.m. Their soft ice cream is addiciting. Image a group of professional business people screaming “ICE CREAM,” runing out and getting huge dishes of soft ice cream. ---

Peter Pan Honey Peanut Butter. I have to keep it out of the house, otherwise I’ll eat the whole jar in about a day. ---

My addiction is not a new food really. It’s yogurt. The problem is that yogurt cultures do so many good things for you, that if you stop eating yogurt for a while the cultures aren’t helping you anymore. I didn’t buy yogurt for one week because my grocery store ran out of the brand I prefer then I developed a painful canker sore. So, I look up home treatments. #1 on the list is yogurt. After a couple days of eating yogurt, canker sore disappeared. So, my yogurt addiction is literally an addiction. Now, the bastards are down-sizing yogurt containers from 8 oz. to 6 oz. ---

Speaking of yogurt, Yoplait’s White Chocolate Raspberry is the most amazingly good flavor of manufactured yogurt ever. It tastes almost exactly like what my mom used to make-- homemade yogurt with homemade raspberry jam stirred in. heaven. Anyway, my latest addiction will surely kill me someday, but it’s Haagen Dasz’s Bananas Foster ice cream. It’s perfect. ---

Coca-cola, cauliflower, and peanut butter logs. I could live for days on these three items, though I limit myself to one Coke a week. _whimper_ Julie ---

“Bun” Not a roll, but Vietnamese noodle salad. Put some shredded lettuce, mint leaves and cilantro leaves in a big bowl, top it with a generous pile of cooked chilled thin rice noodles, and top that with some grilled pork and/or shrimp, shredded carrot and cucumber, and some chopped peanuts. Serve a bowl of dressing composed of rice vinegar, fish sauce, sugar and red chili on the side. It’s pure eatin’ heaven, especially on a hot summer day, and it’s totally addictive. Oh, and those damned bubble pearl drinks too, also to be purchased at Vietnamese eateries. Once you get over the weirdness of sucking big tapioca pearls up with your darian fruit shake, you just can’t get enough of them. ---

Deep fried cauliflower. (the kind that truck stops serve that have little bits of cheese on the inside). Creamed Peas over mashed potatoes. I’ve been craving this constantly since eating it on Sunday. And ranch dip. On anything. 😃 ---

Chinese green onion flat cakes, I don’t know there correct name, but they taste like a cross between an onion nan bread and a Yorkshire Pudding. Traider Joes, Dolce du leche (sp) chocolate covered caramel balls. (recomended by dopers in another thread, ond oh so good…) ---
