What foods are you obsessed with at the moment?

I go through phases of being obsessed with particular foods - sometimes whole meals and other times just ingredients.

Right now, I'm obsessed with basil. I'll eat anything with basil on or it in, and I like randomly chewing on basil leaves while I'm pottering in the kitchen.

I'm also obsessed with alioli. Anything that can be dipped in alioli, will be.

I bought some linseeds at the weekend for a recipe and then read about sprinkling them on to yogurt. Linseeds in strawberry yogurt is now fully lodged in my brain and I'm genuinely looking forward to stopping by the shop tomorrow to buy some yogurt.

What's floating your boat at the minute?

I've been obsessively making and eating the same work week lunch recently, it's more of a rough blueprint than a recipe - a bowl of rice with a scoop of kimchi, whatever veg I can find (cucumber and avocado is nice) with pretty much any protein and a pack of seasoned seaweed from the Korean supermarket. You can use the seaweed sheets to make little bites with a bit of rice and toppings as you eat, like deconstructed sushi, and it's great.

Lovely but no protein

She specificially said she adds any protein so chicken, beef, whatever.

You're right, I completely missed that sentence. Apologies.

Pesto olives
clotted cream
coconut water

not all together but I wouldn’t actually say no to it either. I’m 28 weeks pregnant so I’m blaming baby 😂

murasaki · 09/09/2024 15:46

Tell me more about pesto olives....

Frith2013 · 09/09/2024 15:59

Guacamole

I’m obsessed with chocolate covered strawberries at the moment… a potion still counts as one of my five a day, right? 😁

Mini cheddars with seriously strong cheese spread slathered on in a thick layer! I wish my obsessions were as healthy or unique as most of these, sadly it’s either booze, cheese or crisps Blush

Mini cheddars with extra cheese is the food of the gods.

Dp's weakness is steak flavoured mccoy crisps and red pepper hummus. To be fair, it is tasty.

These threads should be banned from here! They cost me a fortune because i end up adding loads of stuff to my shopping to try. I am loving the fling Thai salad at the moment with finest king prawns also tomato wheat crunchies i ordered a case from ebay 😳

I’ve found my people ( although maybe without the hummus Grin)

spaceshooter · 09/09/2024 17:03

Butternut squash with feta and walnuts!

AyeupDuck · 09/09/2024 17:17

Hummus, I’m using Greek yogurt instead of olive oil and trying it with added chilli or far too much garlic just tweaking amounts.

Make flatbreads to go with it, just flour and Greek yogurt and chuck in air fryer to bake.

itsgettingweird · 09/09/2024 17:33

Scotch eggs.

But not your normal scotch egg!

2 low fat sausages squeezed from their skins and moulded around a pre boiled egg.

Then cooked in the air fryer.

I can't eat breadcrumbs!

SallyWD · 09/09/2024 17:34

Truffle flavour. I find it addictive and just completely unique and delicious!

cheezncrackers · 09/09/2024 17:36

See my username. And chargrilled artichokes - yum!

@Madickenxx I recently found this shop. I wouldn't say I'm obsessed but certainly I've certainly spent a few hundred quid there on fancy liquorice.

Omg this is my heaven!

I LOVE liquorice - I can see myself ordering too much some for Christmas!

Cream cheese bagel - would be nice with some basil. I usually add bacon, lettuce, a sprinkle of cheese and a small amount of cheese sauce. So tasty and nice and filling 😋

Try cream cheese and sliced strawberries on your bagel - it's delicious!

RabbitsRock · 09/09/2024 17:42

So hungry now!

Just had some M&S mushroom pate on poppy seed rolls, god, it's glorious.

If you ever go into London, and can get to Borough Market, there is a stall that just sells mushroom pate.
It's called Paté Moi.
I love it eat whole pots in one sitting.

Aha, I will be in London very soon and am going to be passing through that area. Going to make some kitchen space for piles and piles of mushroom pate Grin.

I've been eating rice cakes and hummus for tea for about 2 and a half months now.....my oven probably thinks I've died!LOL
Before that it was stir fry every night. I really do get stuck on things.

Thin slices of cheese and salty ham
