What food/drink are you absolutely obsessed with?

I've had an obsession with boba milk tea for a few years now and I feel like I'm going to turn into a ball of tapioca if I have one more.

I'm curious to know if anyone else has any weird or major food/drink obsessions Grin

Ice cold cherry pepsi max.

It's the fizz. I just love it.

I don't drink algohol or smoke or do drugs - this is my vice!

Diet Coke 😫 I know it’s absolute rot but I can’t go without it!

Unsurprisingly, given my username, me too!

Jubblies. Ice generally, especially since I started having hot flushes, ice pops, ice lollies, frozen smoothies, but jubblies are my first love.

I'm the same! Though it can't be too sweet. My main go-to is the Tesco Valencia orange juice ice lollies.

Kombucha. I get cases of it delivered to the house from a company called Leftfield. It is nothing like the stuff you get in the shops, which is mostly flavoured. It is pretty expensive but I don't drink alcohol and it stops me from buying fizzy drinks and I love it.

Pepsi Max. I’m very addicted.

Me too 😩

Pop chips with cream cheese

Coriander, feta, sweet chilli sauce (not necessarily together, though it does work). I get through a lot of Sabra houmous too, especially the one with garlic and herbs in. Also currently obsessed with a whipped feta and couscous salad from Sainsbury’s.

Also Reece’s sticks and Diet Coke. And maple pecan danish pastries.

@IsItOnTheTrolleyCanYouSeeIt we're big apple and pear squash drinkers here.
But I prefer Morrisons own brand to Robinson's.

That’s good to know! I will pick some up.

Biggirlnow · 05/10/2024 21:54

Interesting question. I don't feel addicted to any foods really but the ones I craved in pregnancy were tinned prunes and rhubarb. I still love both.

Maybe orange juice. I could drink gallons.

Tea. So much tea!

I have to have tea before I leave work.
Then another cup when I get to work.
Then a cup at 11am to keep me going.
Then one after lunch, like a full stop to the meal.
Then another cup before I head out of the door towards the end of work.
One when I get home to relax.
Another one after dinner - another full stop.
Then one before bed.

Don't judge me. It's tea not cocaine.

Cherrytreat · 05/10/2024 21:57

Full fat greek yog, berries, nuts and lemon curd/honey. Feel sad if I've missed this snack every day.

Coffee, proper addicted.

LittleGreenDuck · 05/10/2024 22:00

Crushed ice. The ice machine in my freezer can't keep up with me.

This seems completely reasonable to me!

I can't stand Pepsi Max! Tastes like pure sweeteners to me, horrible aftertaste.

Full fat Coke on the other hand.....

Nandos chilli jam

Is the bottle stuff the same as the chilli jam on the Sunset Burger? I've been wanting to buy but doubtful if it's the same.

Yorkshire puddings and gravy

I am you. The meat and veggies are afterthoughts. It's the Yorkshire and gravy. Always.
