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.

If there is vanilla ice cream in the freezer, it certainly has a habit of calling to me.

Can’t believe nobody has said peanuts. Not KP (too small and soft), but Tesco own brand. REALLY wish I hadn’t thought about them now.

I don't even like them usually but every 6+ months or so I get an inexplicable and insatiable craving for a hot dog with lots of mustard and caramelised onions, and for pud I get fixated with a Tottenham cake every now and again

Interested in this thread?

Ohh misread the thread, for something I have to have asap whenever I think of it, probably a traditional dish in my culture where you mix boiled slightly salted milk with plain rice and a sweet mushy fruit, usually mango but can sub banana when mango isn't in season - sounds a bit odd but staple comfort food for me!

My uncle once got into bed and watched an old Taggart rerun. Taggart went to the chippy and bought fish and chips, my uncle got back out of bed, got dressed and did the same 😂
