(no subject)

If there's ever been one area in my life where I'm pretty much a creature of habit, it's food. Although I can pretty much turn my hand to most things when it comes to cooking (given the limits of being a vegetarian, of course), I find that I often have the same meals and when it comes to certain items I'm even more obsessive-compulsive.

I see that Cadbury's have brought back the Wispa chocolate bar, by popular demand apparently. At one point they also produced other versions of it: the caramel one, which I found too sweet, and a mint one which I obsessed over for getting on for six months. I would literally, Monday to Friday, have a mint Wispa every day with my lunch. And then one day I just didn't want one any more.

My current obsessions are as follows:

Stony organic vanilla yoghurt (even if it means going to Tesco because Sainsburys seem to have stopped stocking it)

Innocent pineapple, banana and coconut smoothies

Quorn southern style pretend-chicken burgers (it doesn't say 'pretend-chicken' on the packet, btw!)

So, anyone else have foods they're addicted to? Not generally, but specific brands and items? Please don't ask me to believe I'm alone in this... ;)

Oh God yeah, so many.

Off the top of my head there's M&S macaroni cheese, which I still have to buy and eat once a month, even though the high cheese and milk content make me feel like shit for half a day afterwards. And Sweet & Sour Pot Noodles - no other flavour or make, though again I'm trying to be moderate and keep it to once a week.

I probably eat a dry bowl of Special K once a day at some point - I like to nibble through it while reading. My preferences vary between the various sorts with dried fruit in them - Peach & Apricot at the moment. Ideally, I'd like to buy a box of freeze-dried fruit pieces, but the 95% Special K part is kind of hard to avoid.

Pot Noodle? Ewwww!

The other thing that should have been on my list was Sainsburys equivalent of Special K which has dried cherries, strawberries and raspberries in - like you, I'm more than happy to eat it dry!
