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

Philadelphia salmon flavoured cream cheese. I cannot get enough of the stuff, bagels, toast, sandwiches, in pasta, as a dip, I think I could just eat it straight.

Also lemon flavoured cola. Yum

Pot Noodles are on offer at the moment and I've been having at least one a day for weeks.

Tuna mayo. Basic but I love it. In a sandwich, on a wrap, on rice, with pasta. Yum.

Tuna mayo dolloped on top of buttery mashed potato is my ultimate comfort food. The cold tuna and hot mash together is so yummy!

Anything mushroom or truffle based.

Chocolate. I genuinely think I have a problem.

Crunchy peanut butter on whole meal toast with sliced banana on top.

Morrisons instore bakery brownies with a blob of caramel and a caramel button on top! OMG they are SO delicious!

Mustard... all kinds of mustards, have recently fallen in deep love with making my own Carolina mustsrd/vinegar BBQ sauce/dip... heaven.

Thin crumpets, sandwiched together with Seriously strong cheddar spready and spicy mayo (i forget which one) and then done in the panini press til crispy on the outside and soft and cheesey spicy in the middle.

Doesn't work with thick crumpets, too claggy.

Harissa on everything, ever.

Kimchi ramyun noodles, they are my current obsession. I also love the shin ramyun noodles from the same brand but that extra level of spiciness just plays too much havoc with my digestive system! Diet Coke as well but that’s not a transient fad that’s a long term love affair.

Cadburys chocolate fingers, could eat a packet a day no problem (and sometimes do) 🙃

La Vielle Ferme rose wine.

Known as pink chicken wine at our house

Chinese tea in the restaurant - so fragrant and refreshing.

Green tea is too bitter.

Really intrigued with the eggs in purgatory

It’s shakshuka.

Red onion chutney...I love it in any sandwich

I panic a bit when we're down to 4 jars.

Overtheatlantic · 05/10/2024 22:40

Ice cold filtered water. I’m obsessed with it.

Lee Kum Lee Chiu Chow chilli oil, it's so umami and spicy and tastes far superior to Lao Gan Ma in my opinion. I put it on everything - eggs, rice dishes, even a cheese toastie.

MSG, I add a pinch to pretty much most dishes and it lifts the flavour so much.

Aldi's sour rocket lollies they were selling earlier in the summer, long since discontinued 😭. They were amazing and the normal rocket lollies just taste watery, they aren't the same.

Also olives. I love plain instant noodles with olives and a bit of brine, sesame oil and soy sauce. I know it's weird but it tastes great.

Edited

Same! I have to limit myself to a teaspoon per meal or my stomach goes to hell but my god, I’d happily eat it out of the jar.

Ice lollies - no idea why but you can get 2 boxes for £4 in Asda and I’m eating several a day.
Boquerones - those little marinated anchovies. I had them at a tapas bar and now I can’t get enough. It’s ticking off my oily fish requirement for the week though.

Craving ice or a crunch can be a sign of iron deficiency. Google pica. I had it when craving chilled watermelon.

LBFseBrom · 05/10/2024 22:44

Cheese and tomatoes. I have both nearly every day in some form or another.

Svolvaer · 05/10/2024 22:47

Kulfi ice cream lollies. Tesco have them in for Diwali - they are soooo good, I bought three packs of four on Thursday and had eaten the lot by Friday night. Totally obsessed - what will I do when they run out? No more till next year!!

Have you tried the French's Nashville chicken seasoning kit. It's fantastic, it has a Nashville hot chicken dry rub sachet, honey and chipotle fries seasoning sachet and a pack of franks red hot to pour over the chicken 🤤

Oh what!!! No I haven’t, have not heard of this but I’m definitely going out to buy it now, it sounds like heaven! 🤤
