A niche item or food you could never give up.

Hi all, first ever post so please be kind!

Currently on mat leave and was enjoying some chocolate raisins during a contact nap last night (after DS jabs). I hardly ever have them (choccy raisins) but my God I find them addictive, I could never give them up.

So I am curious. What niche things could you never give up, things you don't have or use everyday but you would be really put out or upset If you could never have/use them again?

Longley farm cottage cheese (the full fat one only) I could eat 2 tubs a day just on its own if I allowed myself to; which I obviously don’t 😂
