What food is like crack to you?

I recently discovered Halo ice cream and was delighted by how delicious it is whilst still being pretty low calorie. The problem is that it’s so delicious I can’t eat a normal portion size. I thought I’d give moderation another go tonight but nope, I’ve just eaten nearly a whole tub of Gooey Chocolate Brownie. Totally defeats the object. The peanut butter one is the worst (best).

What food is like crack to you??

Oh god this thread has introduced me to so many new delights that I didn't even know existed. Halo ice cream is yesterday's news!

Oh those marmite flatbreads are lush. I refuse to buy them at full price though which helps the habit. And i love marmite rice cakes with cream cheese.

Oh also truffle and parmesan fries. I could eat them till I pass out in a carb coma. Ideally with decent red wine.

Oh god I'd forgotten about Lindor! Balls balls balls Grin I only allow myself a box of the red at Christmas as I literally can't stop and always feel sick and can't sleep from the sugar rush afterwards but oh my god so so addictive.

Currently it's the giant Wotsits - taste completely different to the normal sized ones.

Keladrythesaviour · 20/08/2021 21:54

Tagliatelle with green pesto. No matter how much I have, I want more.

Olive bread with butter

Those little lemon scotch pancakes with sultanas in? I don't even warm them up, just eat them from the packet...

Brie or camembert. An open pack in the fridge is not safe. I just keep cutting another slice...

Believe it or not I was always very slim up until about 3 years ago Blush when it's finally caught up with me. Not overweight but heading in the wrong direction....

I bought salted caramel M&Ms off the back of this thread and OMG they are awesome.

Crunchy peanut butter is the stuff I cannot have in the house. Fortunately no one else here likes it. I buy the whole food runny peanut butter which is great in noodle dishes but I occasionally attempt it on toast which is a very sad breakfast 😔

SquirryTheSquirrel · 21/08/2021 11:55

All Bran. I could easily eat a whole box in one sitting. Love it.
