Food(s) you crave most [General]
2010 May 15
Cheese.
Tomatoes.
Part of the thing about cravings is that they're mood dependent. Cheese and tomatoes are the only two that I think I could crave at any given time.
On the other hand, I've had moments where I needed to have a pickle, right then and there, and other times I've craved nothing more than eggs.
Cravings are about what our bodies need, which is why we desire some things when our bodies don't have enough. (I crave salt when I'm dehydrated.)
I crave stuff that is around that I can't have. Like, right now there are double stuf Oreos in the house, for my niece's birthday cake. I haven't had them in probably eight or nine years. And, I never cared for them. But, I kind of want one.

For me it would be:
calamari
pizza
cold water- I will actually get dressed in the middle of the night and go buy a bottle of cold water. Tap water doesn't seem to get cold enough and my fridge is too small for a brita.
salads- I love eating salads. I love the mixture of tastes and textures
sometimes dairy- yogurt, milk or ice cream

Cake, generally. I have been known to start making one at 10pm if the craving hits.
Coffee--I think about the first cup of the morning at night before bed.
Fruit--right now it's rhubarb, which is good because I'm working my way through 10 pounds I picked. Am eating it in every form, but mostly stewed with yogurt.
No savoury foods, sadly, though I do eat them between sweets! Homemade Mexican and Indian are my favourites.

This changes daily but at this moment:
1. Strong cheese
2. chewy baguette
3. Mojitos
4. This sounds crazy but it's amzing: dark chocolate WITH sharp cheddar
5. plain omelet cooked until JUST set in LOTS of butter.
6. Chee Cheong Fun
7. NY striploin grilled rare
8. Fresh pasta
9. Mushrooms in all varieties
10. homemade yogurt mixed with some natural peanut butter and a little honey
Not sure if there is really an order of preference.

bacon's up there but still not where the aforementioned are in my book
although a nice piece or back bacon or Irish bacon does turn my head (NONE of that peameal stuff)
p.s. I do cook with a lot of double smoked side bacon but I would no kill for it...
NOW, touch my patties and expect bloodshed (reminds me: where did I put my mum's machete?)

if ever you are in Westport, go to the Westport Bakery and get this thing, ummm I forget the name but it's either "amaretti something" or "something amaretti". Oh my friggin god! I'll try and describe it...
a chewy, sweet and crispy meringue about the size of a standard cookie. A super dense, rich, creamy, silky, cold pastry cream sort of thing on top about the size of a mashmellow. with one side covered with a thin coating of dark chocolate. Amaretto flavoring in there somewhere. THIS is the thing I crave the most right now. i almost feel like skipping work this aft to take a drive to westport before they close!!! I'll get a picture next time I indulge but picture and my akward discription does not come close to doing it justice. MUST TRY!!!!!

chopper - i'm in westport every weekend and that bakery is our favourite. the apple turnovers are fantastic (and healthy, they contain an entire 1/2 apple), the berliners (raspberry filled donuts), hearty breads... now i can't wait until friday.
not a huge fan of her style of pie, but the raspberry, when in season, is good.
if you take the main road out of town (going past the beer store), you will come to the 9th concession. right at the corner is a good, old fashioned farm stand - leave your money in the jar. their asparagus is excellent this year and only $3 for a huge bundle. can't wait for the raspberries to arrive.

chopper - rustic pizza, down by the water, is a decent pizza place. only open on weekends, they are slow - generally best to add 10 minutes to whatever time they give you. stay away from calzones, too doughy. but a good place to grab a pizza and eat it by the water. sadly, the town lost their pub over looking the water front. i'm dying for someone to come and open up a new one.
iheartsamosa
sausages
egg rolls
ice cream
and of course SAMOSAS.
