Cravings

[Ethyl]

I crave Mexican food all the time. It must be a recessive Latin gene in me somewhere, or the inclination for that kind of food comes from a past life. I have no idea. Always washed down with a Mojito with fresh oranges and honey in the mix.

You and me both. I grew up on the west coast eating chile rellenos and seafood enchiladas. I can't get enough.

My blood boils when I don't consume Kettle chips: Thai Spice or Backyard BBQ chips at least once a month.

Their salt and vinegar chips kick ass. I rarely buy them because if they're in the house I can't keep my hand out of the bag.

This may sound strange but, unlike some women who crave chocolate during their menstrual cycle, I don't. I crave indian food. It's the ultimate comfort food for me and I swear it's the particular blend of spices (curry, cloves, anise) that makes me yearn for it.

Yesterday, I baked a really good meatloaf using MANWICH Bold Sloppy Joe Sauce. It was really delicious.

If you are squemish about touching raw meat...you can use food grade gloves. That is what I do sometimes when mixing ground meat for meatloaves.

It isn't just touching it. I would have to wear a blindfold too so I don't have to look at the red bloody mess. Yeccch! So much so that I get nauseous and nearly throw up if I see raw meat. Even if I order meat in a restaurant, and it has ANY trace of pink in it, I spit it out, gag, and send it back PRONTO to be COOKED THROUGHOUT!!! Then sometimes I can't eat it after all because I saw the pink or red.

Yeah, that's a quirk of mine... I was a vegetarian for 2 or 3 years because of this. But I hate to cook so I just go with what's easy - pre-cooked meat, frozen dinners and eating out. :biggrin1: And to make me even MORE quirky, I love sushi, including the raw fish sushi! Especially the smoked salmon. Go figure...

Haha.... lots of people craving gyros here too! Good stuff isn't it? As long as I don't have to look at it while it's raw. :biggrin1:

I HAVE HAD THOSE. THOSE ARE DE-LI-CIOUS!!!!

LAY'S...You can't eat just one. Hide the DORITOS Nacho Cheese flavor. (They had SALSA VERDE flavored tortilla chips...OH THOSE WERE AMAZING!!! Too bad, the Frito-Lay higher ups suspended making them. THOSE WOULD BE IN THE GOODY TRUNK ON THE DESERT ISLAND. And I would barter them for sex with Matthew Fox.:biggrin1:

Oh, boy. I love the curries and the vindaloos. The poppadums and Naans. And good chai tea. Woo!!!

Well, I cook all meats to WELL DONE temperature. I don't like any bloodied meats at all.

I don't eat sushi. I don't eat sashimi. I don't even eat raw oysters or anything with raw eggs.
:biggrin1:

Don't worry steak tartare was never for my friends...only for the relatives that stay too long. :biggrin1:

What I have been craving that I have not been able to find in two different supermarkets this week are Sugar Daddies....the candy.:wink:

Perhaps Mary Janes would do? They're essentially the same thing without the stick.

Is that why you were snarfing down Ritz crackers and smoked gouda on my couch when I walked in tonight?

I'm not sure. I didn't really think about it but you may be right. I thought I'd get some cheese and crackers and grabbed a box of Ritz at Duane Reade. They didn't have any decent cheese so I went next door to Eden and then it all just came together.

Oh I love curries. Give me a good spicy lamb curry with lots of chutney and poori bread and I'm good to go. It's messy but wonderful.

Surely you didn't expect to find a decent cheese--or any at all, for that matter--at Duane Reade?!!
