Nothing is better than frying in lard.

Nothing.  Do not quote me on this.

Salt.

Anchovies straight from the tin. Spoonfuls of salted capers. Sundried tomatoes. Very old dutch cheese. With a side of anchovies, please. Toast with butter, sprinkled with seasalt. Chunks of gorgonzola cheese. A spoonful of peanutbutter from the jar, sprinkled with seasalt.

Salt.

And I 'normally' eat very little salt... :blink:

Chocolate all the way.

I ate a large part of a box of Enstrom's toffee and later found out why it was that I had such a craving. I'm never ordering it again! Too dangerous :)

The bacon cheeseburger and fries I ate for lunch.

That's better than yesterday's craving, which was animal crackers dipped in diet Coke. :blink:

Fucking hormones.

I suppose it doesn't help that I've been nursing a vicious hangover all day. :biggrin:

You're not going to believe this, but I have had that. It's delicious, especially if you're just desperate for fat & cholesterol.

I just ate half a baguette from the bakery with some leftover very creamy French cheese of some kind - I've forgotten what. Yum!

lia-

try pub cheese cheddar and jalapeno. blows that fake cheese away but still gives you the fat and heat you crave.

speaking as one who had been there

Here's something truly disgusting...

I'm PMSing and craving salty and sweet things. I almost never eat chips, but I'm downing these cheddar-flavoured Stax like there's no tomorrow, in between bites of brownie. Both are good, but then I remember the jar of Cheez Whiz we have in the fridge. I spread Cheez Whiz on the remainder of my brownie (ever so guiltily) and relish every last bite.

Cheez Whiz and chocolate.

So...good and disgusting at the same time.

I think I'm going to have another. :rolleyes:
