I seem to go through phases with food and I obsessively eat something until I get fed-up and move on to the next one. At the moment I am obsessed with truffle oil. Yes truffle oil. It's wonderful and ocassionally I open the bottle and just sniff it. I also find myself cooking certain meals specifically so I can add my delicious extra

Am I alone? Do other people do this too? If so what is your favourite, favourite thing to eat?

Oh and I'm not pregnant

I currently have an insatiable fixation with smoked mackerel, brie and cranberry sandwiches, and chorizo (not altogether, obviously) which has lasted about 6 weeks now.

After reading this thread though, I am now craving scallops with balsamic vinegar, squid, scones with jam and cream, and poached eggs on toast with salt and pepper. (Again, not all at the same time) Mmm.

Well don't know about you guys but I am going food shopping now!

Oh and I am in love with puy lentils too- to the extent that I was googling them the other night to see if I can grow them next year. I'm an oddity that's for sure.

Warm home made bread and lashings of cold butter

Olives, buy in big jars from lidl, drain the brine, dry them well then put back in the jar in layers with chunks of garlic and home made chilli sauce and then fill up with good olive oil...truly the best. Have em with most things, even my nearly 4yo ds loves em! Particularly nice with home made hummus and pitta - small piece of warm pitta, pile of hummus topped off with olive - in one go!!!mmmmmmmm

Really nice home made veggie gravy with mashed potato this is to die for.

crispy, golden home made rough puff pastry pie filled with quorn leeks and mushrooms sauteed in butter and then lashings of above mentioned gravy added.

Current obsession is the mini chilli brie from Aldi - roast peppers, courgettes onions and sweet potato in oven with olive oil, chilli sauce and black olives, and bake sliced mushrooms in seperate tray with lashing of good butter and garlic, till all frizzled and dry looking. Then add to cooked spaghetti and stir through the whole pack of brie, chunked up. Share if you really feel generous.

Or, junk food alternative, 2 Asda meat free burgers, lightly grilled, then sliced horizontally (4 thin burgers on tray) top each bit with finely sliced red onion, grill a bit more then top with chunks of aforementioned brie. reassemble as 2 burgers and serve on white soft batches smothered with american mustard and mayo on the bottom, and chilli sauce and mayo on the top....my fave friday night junk food fest!!!!

Am going away to shower and change as I am covered in own drool!!!

Biker, the veggie brie spaghetti sounds amazing. That's tonight's dinner sorted out.

dandycandyjellybean · 29/09/2009 13:06

it is and so easy it's blummin lovely!

Longtalljosie · 29/09/2009 13:37

Croissants. Proper ones - not those ones which look fine but actually taste of bread...

Rollmops · 29/09/2009 13:59

Rollmops' household is feasting on steak tartare with alarming regularity.
Could live on that, carpaccio, ceviche, home made gravlax, oysters and sashimi.
"Why on Earth would YOU want a new kitchen? Its a place where one should be to COOKING things, you know." DH quipped.

Absolutely adore pate, foie gras [drrrooool], venison, marinated herring.

Oh, so hungry now.....

definitelygotascrewloose · 29/09/2009 15:17

Fish and chips will be the death of me

Mmmmcoffee · 29/09/2009 15:24

Cherry vine tomatoes. Cooked any which way, or just eaten in vast quantities as a snack.

Oh, and chocolate, of course.

But not together. Eeeew.

BonjourIvresse · 29/09/2009 16:51

Jacket potato, loads of butter, grated comte cheese. delish!

EverySingleStar · 29/09/2009 18:08

Hard to pick just one so I'll pick 20

I'm American, so a lot has to do with American foods...

Rainbow Chip icing from betty crocker - known to eat from the tub

Cake...mostly yellow cake with milk choc icing

I like to do myself a little 'cold plate' - hunks of soft brown bread, lumps of good cheddar cheese, small salami slices, grapes, slice of cantaloupe mmmm lush

Jacket potatoes with loads of butter, salt, and sour cream, oh - and cheese

Tuna mayonnaise sandwiches I could live off for the rest of my life, particulary the very plain boring ones in waitrose on white bread

Chicken in any form, mainly with a crispy crust and fried

Sloppy joes - does anyone else know what these are?

Peanut butter and jam sandwiches cut into 4 small squares like my grandma used to make

Banana pudding with heaps of vanilla wafers

I looooove USA cookout food - hot dogs/hamburgers on the grill, baked beans (PROPER baked beans cooked in the oven with diced onions, ketchup, and loads of brown sugar), potato salad (PROPER potato salad with lots of mayonnaise and mustard), and not sure if anyone's ever heard of banana salad but it is fucking incredible - it's sliced banana with peanuts in a bowl and coated in a fantastic sweet/sour sauce...yummmmmm

Can another American come on here please and verify my choices

jellyjelly · 29/09/2009 19:36

MY favourite has to be
tabolleh - really lovely and i can sit and eat and eat.

Arsed · 29/09/2009 19:48

I'd love to say oysters or caviar or something but in all honesty i think my most favouritest thing in the world to eat is a huge chunk of tiger bread smothered in lurpak.
