> [@Sigmagirl](#): > > Cheese. Almost every other foodstuff on earth is just a medium for cheese. For most things, if you can’t put cheese on it, there’s little point in eating it. Super sharp cheddar. Although it has to be eaten slowly to appreciate the flavor. Cant eat more than a lb. at a time. ---

I can eat any arbitrary number of tacos. They are like air to me. ---

Fifty eggs? No problem. Caviar counts, right? 😛 ---

**Toast**. With lots of butter and jam or marmalade. I don’t have a toaster because I could easily eat eight pieces at one sitting. ---

Peanuts. I have to pour them into a little bowl and put the bag away, or I’ll finish the bag, regardless of its size. I once ate a pound of them in a single go, without realising I’d done it. They’re 52% fat, and most of that is saturated. But I LOVE them. I also once ate seventy Portuguese kalamata olives in one sitting too, at Fernando’s in Macau. They were the best olives I’ve ever tasted, and they were free, so they kept on bringing more and I kept on eating them. I didn’t even realise how many I’d got through until my girlfriend counted the pits and told me. Interesting after-effect the next day… ---

Shrimp. The one time I’ve ventured into a Red Lobster was for their All You Can Eat Shrimp (waay back in college). After finishing the first big plate of shrimp, I started getting refill bowls. I had 28 of those. After working in the field for a week, we finally were able to sit for a hot meal at Prudhoe Bay. They charge the company a set price and you eat all you want. 5 large Chicken Cordon Bleus and 3 NY Strip steaks later I started in on the ice cream. ---

I have a love of white icing. I will eat it off my plate with a spoon. I will eat it off other people’s plates and the cake dish. I will eat it off the cake box. ---

Practically everything, but I’m friggin HUGE (6’7" and 330 lbs). I do like to eat tacos. I don’t try to keep count, but I’m sure that, many times, I’ve eaten well over a dozen over the course of a night. I don’t eat as much as I used to and my appetite is shrinking, but I still have no trouble eating about 8 good sized soft tacos. ---

Cashews, sunflower seeds, and pistachios. Can’s stop until they’re gone. ---

Buffalo wings. Cheese or pepperoni pizza. Crab Rangoon, especially the ones from the take-out place down the street that are essentially just cream cheese won tons. Olives. Doritos, especially the blue cheese/buffalo wing dual flavor bag. French fries. Queso fundido with chorizo. I am a dainty, dainty girl… I swear!
