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... ;)

Cherries, especially the dark red ones.
M&S freshly squeezed clementine juice.
Those are my Christmas Day breakfast treats.
Really good black coffee - essential for everyday
Caerphilly, Wensleydale and Red Cheshire cheeses - the proper farmhouse not plastic packet stuff
Fresh blackcurrants simmered with a little sugar - then you can either eat them with cream or make pie or crumble or put them on porridge with honey and cream, that's summer in the middle of winter
Currently manuka honey on the local bread shop's sourdough bread toasted.
M&S salt caramel chocolate balls - oh my! and organic fairtrade chocolate too [Ad anything from Hotel Chocolate. Actually I usually have bars of their fairtrade milk chocolate in my fridge.
Bill Granger's French Toast - with or without maple syrup

But toast and honey and porridge with brown sugar - the dark brown kind which melts into pools of sweetness - and cream are my standby foods for coping with colds and flu. Along with hot Ribena.

Think I'll stop now.
