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... ;)

Like you, I go through stages of subsisting off one or two dishes. I tend to experiment, and if I like it, I then eat it for a while. So this summer, I had a lot of feta, lemon juice and pasta salads with avocado, cucumber and cherry tomatoes. The last couple of weeks it's been homemade glamorgan sausages. Last winter it was potato, red lentil and cheese soup with homemade garlic croutons or a potato fry thing with leek, red onion, mushrooms and veggie bacon. Yummy.

There's one thing that's always a favourite - the one thing I have to have in my fridge and where I have tins as well, just in case I run out. Mushrooms. I love them to wee little pieces and eat them by the bucket load. And Costco do big boxes in just my size ::g::

I used to eat quite a bit of feta until one day I had a bad reaction after eating some and never could bring myself to devour the same quantities again... the current obsessions are pretend-chicken burger with avocado and a kind of mock-rice-&-peas (the real thing often has chicken livers in it, apparently) with whatever veg I have to hand.

I'm also with you on the mushrooms but not to the extent of the tinned variety. That's just weirdness! ;)

The tinned variety is just my emergency stock ::g:: No good for eating in anything but pasta sauce but better than nothing at all :)
