View Full Version : Every so often, I crave (insert food)

I was curious about others and their cravings. For instance, every few years, I want a strawberry milkshake from McDonalds. I have it, and then don't want another for another few years. In between, I'd even say I don't really like them. In fact, I don't even really like strawberry ice cream very much.
Anyone else?

Dill pickle spears. Every once in a while—maybe 2-3 times a year?—I. Must. Have. A. Dill. Pickle. Spear. Now.
I eat one or two, the craving passes, and I am good.
I wish I could limit my craving for milkshakes to one every few years, it would certainly help my battle to maintain a constant weight (stupid late 20's metabolism). Although I do agree that a craving for a strawberry milkshake is rare for me.

Shanny.
Shanny
The Shanny is a Prickleback, renowned for being ugly but having a delicious taste :P. In the frying pan there should be some water, and worcestershire sauce. Let it simmer... Throw in chopped up garlic, onions and chillies. Chunks of filleted shanny are fried slowly in this sauce, and then spread out over the Propasto base.
Propasto Base (I'm not antipasto, I've always been very pro pasto)
Chorizo (sliced),
Beetroot (cubed),
Aged Asiago (cubed),
Pitted Kalamatta Olives,
Roasted Red Capsicum (sliced),
Lightly fried Chanterelles (sliced),
Oven Roasted Artichokes (sliced),
Marinated Chargrilled eggplant (sliced),
Semi Dried Tomatoes (Early Girl and Green Zebra),
Merlot Marinated Giant Puffball Mushrooms (cubed).

Delicious! Especially with some ham in it. Doesn't taste like fresh peas though. I love fresh sugar peas from the garden. That's not a craving for me, more like a life-sustaining need when they are in season. I must eat pounds of them from the farmer's market during that time.

I was curious about others and their cravings. For instance, every few years, I want a strawberry milkshake from McDonalds. I have it, and then don't want another for another few years. In between, I'd even say I don't really like them. In fact, I don't even really like strawberry ice cream very much.
Anyone else?
