Food Obsessions

Post Reply New Topic

I tend to get obsessed with one food to the exclusion of most or all else. Right now it’s vegetarian sushi.

Me too. For the most of the time it's hummous. In summer I have this problem with tomatoes.

I go through phases where i like particular food but i wouldn't refer to it as an obsession.

More to i liken it to a seasonal thing and what my body is crying out for to a particular food.

I love salads in summer,food wraps and kebabs and winter it's hot,spicy and curry.

Predominantly my foods are health focused,i'm currently mixing weeds in my food wraps.

Eggs are my favorite food.

Lately, I've become particularly addicted to Taco Bell's Cheesy Potato Loaded Grillers. I'll typically get them once or twice a week.

happens a lot to me. Especially ones that make it easy to customize. Into Soylent now.

Same. It was worse when I was young, though - when I was a kid I went about a year eating nothing but cheerios for every meal. I'm glad it's not that bad any more.

I tend to eat the same thing many days in a row and then basically forget all about it, eat a verity of things for a while and then go back to eating some other same thing many days in a row.

Can relate, I'd say bacon and avocados are up there for me. Sweets of most kinds and ice cream, especially with hot fudge. I've been obsessed with movie popcorn for a while.

For me it's most kinds of East Asian foods, especially after having traveled to China and Japan at various times and tasted it at the source. I'm love trying foreign (to my American tastebuds) cuisines.

Though my biggest food obsession since my high school days is not East Asian, it's a Filipino dessert called Halo-Halo. For those unenlightened on this amazingness, it's basically a mixture of beans, gelatin cubes, and cubed fruits under condensed milk-soaked shaved ice topped with a scoop of ube (purple sweet potato) ice cream and a slice of flan.

Like my general interests, I've gone through various phases of being overly partial (if not obsessed) with a particular food and/or drink.

For quite a while I would eat tuna mayonnaise (no seasoning) sandwiches on an almost daily basis, or perhaps tuna mayonnaise on jacket potato. I would also eat pasties for breakfast regularly.

I've gone through phases of pizza eating on a virtually daily basis too, and it's usually a specific type of pizza.

i eat brown rice and soup, leavened with cheddar cheese and tomato sauce, most of the time. but whenever i get a 50%-off coupon for a domino's pizza, i literally go to town.

Nothing very specific...
Anything that is generally salty and crispy -- with optional rice.

Not exactly an obsession, but a very narrow range of acceptable food here. It gets embarrassing if I have to mix with people because I'm always thinking "I hope they won't try to feed me or make me go to a restaurant," and if I have to feed them I feel scared that what I offer them won't meet their expectations at all. I don't do so badly with vegetarians, vegans and health-conscious eaters, because there's a lot of overlap there with my preferences.
Acceptable: wholemeal bread, olive oil, most salad vegetables, beans, pulses, potatoes, eggs in moderation, spinach, grapes, nuts, a bit of "unprocessed" cheese, raisins, hummus, green peppers, courgettes.
Unacceptable: meat, fish, salt, hard fat, more than a tiny bit of vinegar, moderate amounts of sugar, processed foods, hot spices, refined foods generally, GM food. All food prepared by commercial vendors arouses my suspicion, though I've been known to take the risk. I've had food poisoning at least twice that way, but only once through home-prepared food, and for every meal I've eaten in a cafe or restaurant, or from a takeaway, I must have eaten hundreds that were made at home. My gastro-intestinal tract doesn't give me a lot of trouble and I want to keep it that way.

it's very important to me that I enjoy my food but I don't like spending too much time eating it, preparing it or clearing up the mess, I'd rather be doing more interesting things, so I tend to minimise the whole food thing, and just stick to what works for me. It gets pretty repetitive but I can endure that for a long time before the desire for a change gets the better of me.

i love salty stuff but it don't love me back.
