I seem to go through phases with food and I obsessively eat something until I get fed-up and move on to the next one. At the moment I am obsessed with truffle oil. Yes truffle oil. It's wonderful and ocassionally I open the bottle and just sniff it. I also find myself cooking certain meals specifically so I can add my delicious extra

Am I alone? Do other people do this too? If so what is your favourite, favourite thing to eat?

Oh and I'm not pregnant

I do this too. I'll eat certain things until I'm sick of the sight of it and then can't touch it for months.

My latest thing has been the Pizza Express salad dressing. We've been eating salad a few times a week just so I can smother it in this dressing!

A curry made with lamb, chick peas, and coriander.

got a most amazing miso and sesame salad dressing in teh Japan Centre in london on a recent trip to see rubyslippers.. i would like some more if anyone is going there !! i had salad 3 times a day for a week. and now there is no dressing left.

also adore very rare steak

feedthe, I did it too with the pizza express dressing (original and then the balsamic one too). Riven, I knew someone would say mars bars- I don't like them au natural but love making crispie cakes out of them- my weans love that food obsession

hotdog sausages straight from the packet dipped in english mustard

I've done the sushi thing too when I ate so much I couldn't face it for about 6mths afterwards. And goats cheese. And coc au vin. Made that about once a week for 2mths until I got fed-up.

I'm a loon.

scallops, panfried in butter on a bed of rocket with a balsamic glaze.

My favourite atm, is a homemade salsa made of red onion, cherry toms and corridander. It's nothing special, but man, it's good! I put it on everything and even just have it with warm pitas.

Jamie Olivers chicken tikka masala
I could eat it every day

That and posh crisps (especially really sour vinegar ones)

Oooh I'm going to check out Jamie's chicken tikka masala now on that recommendation. Do the dc eat it?

Op, I'm like you, I go through phases with food. At the moment for me it is smoked salmon. Other favourites that I can't get enough of at times are olives and parma ham, blue cheese with celery, avocados, greek yogurt. I had a memorable phase when I had to eat Marks and Spencer mini poppadums on an almost daily basis .

southeastastra that reminds me of one of my fav celeb dissing headlines ever. Beside a photo of Jennifer Love Hewitt in a bikini (+ a few extra pounds) was the headline......

Go on, have a guess

Balti chicken chilli massala, pilau rice, tarka dall, naan bread.

My DH does this and i HATE it...we go through weeks of getting chinese if we have a takeaway/only apple juice/me making steak or stogoneuff (sp?) or roast. Then weeks of fish and chips/orange juice/stir fry. It drives me BONKERS as once there's something I like I know it will end in a few weeks. Arghh.

Having said that I would kill now for some fish and chips

ice cream - Ben and Jerry's

er don't know, um jennifer love chewitt

Almost, Jennifer loves chewitts

It makes me laugh anyway.

lol @ chewits

I have just eaten a couple of fizzy fish. Fine fare indeed

Bread and cheese.

Every day for lunch.

Admittedly, bread fresh from boulangerie and extremely fine cheese but even so, what a boring cow I am.

Also currently consuming vast quantities of pears.

Bombay Bad Boy Pot Noodle i dont eat them any more as i know there are crap but i love them

Creme Brulee.

And the pots are always sooooo small...I need a huge great vat of it all to myself.

I think my name says it all

A mug of veggie gravy with a spoonful of mint sauce stirred in. Especially after a stomach upset. only thing that brings my appetite back!
