A food which, when you think about it, you HAVE to have

Inspired by someone mentioning macaroni cheese on another post...

Is there one food which as soon as you're reminded of its existence, you need to have ASAP?

Macaroni cheese for me (homemade). It's not my favourite food by far and I don't make it much, but perhaps that's why when I am reminded it exists I need to have it pretty soon.

Also, to a lesser extent, eggs. I eat them loads but if I haven't had an egg that day and I see someone cooking or eating a nice looking egg it really gets my egg sense going lol.

Hot toast buttered to within an inch of its life topped with Marmite. Sometimes it pops into my head about 9.30pm when everyone else is in bed and I have to have a slice with a cup of tea 🙈

Cake. Pretty much any kind, except coffee and walnut.

Crunchie rocks, not the bars, specifically the rocks. Now I'll have to wait until tomorrow to buy some 🫠

Currently watermelon. I'm pregnant and obsessed! My amazing dp was at Tesco express at 6am stocking up for me.

Boiled egg and soldiers - when I make ds tbem for breakfast I instantly then have to do some for me too! I mean to be fair it’s one one my favourite all time foods but I rarely just make it for myself, it’s pretty much always after I’ve made them for him.
loads of salt, loads of butter 😋

Flapjack, I’ll not have it for years then suddenly want it all the time

ArcticBells · 09/06/2025 19:47

Baked beans. There’s something about them.

Cheese on toast/ Welsh rarebit tends to live in my head rent free 😃

Lying in bed reading this thread and not knowing what food I just have to have until I see this comment. Great. Now I have to get out of bed and make some cheese on toast! Thank you!

whitewineandsun · 09/06/2025 21:16

Tzatziki and bread.

InSpainTheRain · 09/06/2025 21:26

Tiramisu for me! If I hear it mentioned I think about it until I have some!

ThePoshUns · 09/06/2025 21:27

Haribo tangfastics.
chicken flavour super noodles.

Cattenberg · 09/06/2025 21:28

Hula Hoops

idonethisthing · 09/06/2025 21:28

Pho. Brisket Pho. I drive miles to get this stuff.

GameOfJones · 09/06/2025 21:33

Egg and chips. I made it on Friday....fried egg, oven chips and ketchup. To get a proper taste of my childhood the chips should have been deep fried but it was still absolutely gorgeous!

ZiggyZowie · 09/06/2025 21:37

Crunchy peanut butter

cleowasmycat · 09/06/2025 21:38

Chinese crispy beef

HumanRightsAreHumanRights · 09/06/2025 21:43

Chicken Noodle cup a soup with the little hoop shaped thingies in it.

Forget it exists for months on end, then one day it pops back into my mind and I have to have it.

Ideally with granary bread, but if white sliced bread is the only option I'll have that with my soup, covered in butter and ready to dip.

Walkers Salt and Vinegar, every single time. Drooling at the thought. Have a bag every weekend. Five days and counting…

Cucumber. I genuinely think I'm addicted to it, even as a kid and when I was pregnant I'd eat them like apples. I crave cucumber so often, and when I eat it, it's SO satisfying. The baby ones, omg they're amazing.
