    What is your kryptonite?
    What one food item can you not stop eating once you've opened the pack?
    For me, it's peanuts.

    I normally pour some out into a little bowl cos if I eat them straight from the pack, they're nearly all gone before I realise.

    For my OH, it's biscuits.

    What say you?

    I went through a phase of baking fruit scones but I had to stop because I would eat them all in one go, still hot with the butter melting on them. :(

    Not so much a food, but I could eat a couple of packets of those Flying Saucer sweets.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,812 ✭✭✭thelad95


    Those smoky bacon crisps. Could literally eat them all day.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,745 ✭✭✭Macavity.


    Uncooked pig.

    I do that as well, but then go back and refill the bowl until the bag is empty :o

    Probably the worst snack you could binge on too. They're basically 50% fat!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,136 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    Jaffa cakes.

    Its not humanly possible to open a packet eat one and just leave them !!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,070 ✭✭✭✭pq0n1ct4ve8zf5


    Peanuts, crisps, sesame sticks, mashed potatoes, peanut butter on toast (had eight slices of that for breakfast once), popcorn. I have terrible self control.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,622 ✭✭✭Ruu


    Used to love Toffee Pops, serving size one biscuit. Feck off with ya!

    Endless slices of buttery white toast and pots of tea tend to have a curative effect on the homicidal rage I experience every few weeks.

    Those chilli nuts are habit forming too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,973 ✭✭✭RayM


    I once ate an entire multi-pack of Wheelies, Chickatees and Snax in a single sitting. Around 24 packs in total, I think. It was over the course of a couple of hours, but still...

    I should probably be posting this in Personal Issues.

    Those vile cheese Ritz crackers.

    I'd eat my way out with ease if I was buried in a pit of them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,280 ✭✭✭Davarus Walrus


    Cheese.

    All types of cheese. Goats cheese, cheddar cheese, stinking blue cheese, melted cheese, cheese sauce, cheesy snacks.

    I love cheese. On its own, on bread, crackers, pizza, with fruit, with meat, with vegetables, with wine, with beer. Glorious cheese. It's the finest of food.

    Never trust anyone who doesn't like cheese.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,435 ✭✭✭wandatowell


    Lindt chocolates in the red wrapping. The stuff ain't cheap but I can't ever stop with just the few, lovely stuff.


    Other than that I usually get stuck into a packet of rich tea.

    Gone are the days when a lad could savage his way through a couple of packets of crisps in one go without anyone even batting an eyelid.

    Nowadays, if one even glanced at a packet, a healthy eating affeciando would be in their ear telling them the calorie content, and trying to shame you.

    But to answer your question, you cannot bate the satisfaction of a uniform packet of meanies.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 111 ✭✭JasperGeorge.


    Dark chocolate, red wine , beer, mixed nuts , red meat but most of all .....cheese.

    I was once on an all expenses work trip and binged on two tins of Osietra Baerii Caviar in one sitting. I literally scoffed 170 squids worth. It's probably a good think I never come across it that much.

    But dark chocolate , red meant and most of all cheeeeese.

    I try not to think about the questionable hygiene habits of socialists and perennial protesters. Or what they add to their pot noodles'.

    What food do you gorge on?
    What is your kryptonite?
    Are not these opposites?

    Last year Two days were so hot it allowed some of them to produce and package over 62 gallons of fromunda cheese. I assume it was served with chickpeas.

    Feeding it dog food helps......:pac:

    Marsh mellows ...If they're put my way I could eat them until I'm physically sick!

    I try to avoid processed carbohydrates as much as possible, but will admit to having an extreme weak spot for a ribbon pasta with wild boar and black truffle sauce. It's served in a lovely Italian restaurant here in Frankfurt. It's not haute cuisine, but it does go to show that Italian food can move beyond the stereotype of cheap mince in a lurid red tomato sauce.

    Even though it's a dish grounded in the origins of Tuscan food; I find it goes best with a really peppery and robust red from Sicily.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 397 ✭✭Areyouwell


    Has to be Ferrero Rocher for me. I just have no off switch when it comes to them.

    If you switched to dark chocolate you wouldn't have that problem :-)

    I love chicken balls. Don't have them as much as I used to. But man, chicken balls are a strange thing. They vary so much takeaway to takeaway.

    A white truffle sauce isn't the type of thing you'd be allowing yourself once a week. It's a thread about food you like to gorge on. I've had a 7 course white truffle tasting menu in the Pellicano Hotel. An extraordinary experience. But it's not the equivalent of having beans on toast.

    Pffft only 7 you should have tried the 9 you cheap skate.

    That sort of serving in that "hotel" is reserved for the heavy of pocket and light of mind, the fine eatery establishments I frequent regulalry would be way out of your monetary aspirations, I'm afraid.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 245 ✭✭Cosmicfox


    Party rings.

    Dead cheap over here for twin packs. I've started leaving packs out on the table so that my flatmates will eat them instead of me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 111 ✭✭JasperGeorge.


    Oh I have got a weird one , also Tic Tacs. I don't know why.

    Flanagan's of O'Connell Street?

    Peanut M&M's, I love eating all the chocolate off and saving the nuts until I have enough for a mouthful then eating them all with one full M&M so that you taste more nut than chocolate, those and chocolate and peanut cornettoes well anything with peanuts and chocolate tbh
