Do YOU have a food you can't resist?

ON a lighter note than POLITICS! (no pun intended)

I like EVERY woman, likes to cut a nice, smaller figure, so I don't keep them in the house because I'd down the huge bag in a day....but I LOVE THEM!

I've got many foods I can't resist, but POTATO CHIPS are high on the list!!

A friend used to cook big, lavish buffets of ethnic foods....she was a marvelous cook! Her husband was a meat and potatoes guy who insisted she have a bowl of potato chips among the Indian samosas, stuffed grape leaves, humus dip, quesadillas, tamales, whatever she was serving........As much as I LOVE those things, I'd be with Roger at the POTATO CHIP BOWL scarfing them down!

Once, I was dying for a potato chip and bought one of those small Lay's bags near the cash register while grocery shopping.....I happened to have parked in a lot with a parking guard, one with an arm which is down till he lets you out.... I had three chips from that bag (having ripped into them the minute I got the grocery bags in my trunk) and drove up to the attendant and said "Here's a bag of potato chips for you" as I drove off without them! I LOVE them but don't like to eat too many!

Is there a FOOD YOU CAN'T RESIST? Got a story to go with it? Tell us!!

Butterscotch candy.

Are Oreo's a food?

I love them...I'd marry an Oreo if it were legalized for a man to join with a snack food in any other state but Massachusetts...and I just refuse to live there.

Oreo's blended with ice cream...I just can't go there while I'm at work.

I like all kinds of sausage. I'm not supposed to eat it, but I do anyway!

I have a real problem staying off fried clams.

Especially Ipswich clams, the ones you get in the great state of Massachusetts.

elmers brother said...

Z said...

Oh, man..butterscotch candy...Oreo's, sausage, post roast (extra potatoes, please!) and fried clams....deelicious!

I forgot one rule here: NOBODY CAN MENTION ....................

Please.

My own homemade potato salad and caramel corn. I finally have to throw them away. Also the same with the sugar wafer cookies. I don't buy them very often. I just eat however many then toss the rest.

Potatoes in any form, chips, salad, baked, roasted -- ooo love those -- but I like my chips spicy and I like them with a ton of sour cream. Yes, I've also ended up throwing out such stuff or leaving half-eaten bags of them in the apartment building laundry room. People probably throw them out but sometimes I've left an unopened candy bar there too (Heath bar or whatever they're called now. Another weakness). I once left a whole bag of potatoes in the laundry room in a fit of fury at my carbs addiction. I hope someone appreciated them.

Oh, and bacon, crispy bacon.

Z, it would be unfair to all the foods I love to choose only one. However, if I just had to pick something quick it would be Hotdogs.

I really love Hotdogs, don't know why, but I can eat 6 with no problems. I especially love the way my wife fixes them... grilled with onions, relish, cheese, barbeque sauce and spice mustard. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Hotdogs.

Blessings.

Taco flavored Doritos. They brought them back for a month and now they're gone.

I hate frito lay for teasing me like that.

CJ said...

Spicy Nacho Doritos. I think they dropped these to bring back the Taco flavor which I don't like as much.

Hot dogs with onions, relish and yellow mustard, but IHS's loaded dogs sound yummy.

Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies.

When they're out of season??

Keebler Grasshopper cookies!oooh, or mint Oreos...I'm right there with ya, Tony!! with milk, of course!
;-)

Ducky...that made me want to pinch your cheek!

ElBro, pot roast with potatoes and carrots is one of the few things I can do well. I was in a pot roast slump recently. Glad to say I'm back in form!

shoprat said...

I am not overweight, so I eat usually eat normal, neither really healthy foods or unhealthy (a bit of both) but I love roasted chicken. I hate to admit this but more than once I have eaten an entire roasted chicken in one sitting. I guess it brings out the glutton in me.

I love homemade bread pudding.

I've been sitting here for ten minutes racking my brain, "what can't I resist"? Yep, bread pudding.

In fact now that I think of it, I haven't made it in some time. Sounds good.

And Z, you know I like that "unmentionable", smothered in sauteed onions. Hold the catsup please! Ha, Ha.

CJ said...

Ooooo I could eat a whole Safeway Homestyle roasted chicken myself. Or half of one anyway. No trimmings needed.

Obviously I'm the biggest glutton on this board.

I'm trying to repent.

cube said...

Cheesecake. I can't resist the call of cheesecake.

I.H.S. said...

Well, since some brought in Girl Scout cookies, it would definitely be the DoSiDos. I have literally eaten an entire box in a matter of minutes.

Yes, CJ I repented after the fact.

Blessings.

namaste said...

lays potato chips is my fav right now. i through phases.

even though i don't eat it in excess, i could not live my life without CHEESE.

:)

Steve Harkonnen said...

Coming back I would wonder why Frito Lay only distributes taco doritos to only certain areas of the country.

So this means next time I go to Detroit I have to pick up more. they're not to be found anywhere down in Virginia.

Z said...

Priscilla! NO LIVE....R...NO NO NO! (Smile!) Plus, you probably mean sweet bread pudding, but I had a savory one at a Christmas party and told the water "I think I just won the 'most bread pudding eaten at the event' award tonight!"


CJ..Yes, i often say "I have NEVER met a potato I didn't like" ANY type of potato..ANY way!!

HOT DOGS....steamed bun (I put a strainer over the boiling water and let the bun steam that way over the boiling hot dog) and LOTS of French's mustard and relish....OH, MAN, OH, MAN!! I could go for the other stuff, too, but just mustard and relish ...my favorite! AND NO CATSUP, please!!

This is fun! Oh, food...get thee behind me!!!

Strawberry Pop Tarts! They remind me of my carefree childhood. Of course, I have not been able to get them for the last 25 years or so, but when ever anyone comes down to visit or sends me a package, I ask for Strawberry Pop Tarts, with no icing, just plain. I could easily eat the entire box in one sitting but since I never know when I will get more, I leave them in the freezer just to look a them!

Pat Jenkins said...

this is great z!! we have a local company, (mike sells in dayton) who cooks their chips in peanut oil! quite the chip let me tell ya... and my weaknesses for foods are tooo many to count!!

DaBlade said...

There you are Z! You absconded with the bag of chips again! We've talked about this, right?

I'll eat any potato chips, but I'm not a big Pringles fan. I always liked Mitch Hedberg's observation that "Pringles' initial intention was to make tennis balls".

Z said...

DaBlade..ya, we did! It's what gave me the idea for the post!

Pringles are a little sweet, don't you think? I CAN eat them, if pressed, but would rather not! I think they should have stuck to tennis balls, myself! (good line of Hedberg's)

Just kidding, Ducky. Honest answer, pizza or lasagna. Something with spicy sausage drowning in a melted cheese. Not so much a ricotta cheese as a mozorella, or cheddar, czechoslovakian goat's cheese, venezuelen beaver cheese...

Does Kool-aid count as a food?

David Wyatt said...

Good ol' fashioned grilled cheese sandwich! Sausage, & a lot of it! My wife's spaghetti!

POP TARTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Z said...

Tio.."Venezuelan Beaver Cheese" (is this a joke?!)

MMMM...you're right about sausage smothered in cheese, tho!!

I.H.S....KOOL AID? NOOOO!!! HA!

David....grilled cheese sandwich..sublime. Oh, and spaghetti and meatballs...send some over!

I.H.S. said...

OK, I just finished a plate of Mrs. IHS spaghetti and a tall glass of Kool-Aid.

Blessings.

Z said...

oh, do I LOVE spaghetti.

What flavor KoolAid? KOOL AID? HA!! (are you sure you're not a bleeding heart liberal, I.H.S..they LOVE drinkin' the KoolAid!) :0)

Papa Frank said...

DOVE chocolate. It's the only chocolate that America has that's close to belgian. Apart from that, anything that comes fresh from the garden via the loving hands of my children.

I.H.S. said...

No, not a liberal.

Kool-Aid is an aquired taste like the Opera. HA HA!!

Blessigs.

CJ said...

Raspberry Kool-aid made extra strong with lots of ice. Haven't had it since childhood. Didn't even know it still exists.

Anonymous said...

z--the venezuelan beaver cheese was from a monty python bit.

CJ, my flavor now is the Ice Blue.

Two and half cups of sugar and I'm off to the races.
