I prefer smooth to crunchy, and I like a sandwich that has peanut butter on one slice of bread and butter on the other. I think the smell of a good quality peanut butter is one of the most wonderful smells in the world. I can sit there with my nose in the jar and be perfectly content. Beck, Sorry to hear about your diagnosis - a major bummer, since you love bread so much. I don't know a lot about wheat-free products, but I'm sure there's a lot of info out there on the net and if there are any good substitutes, someone will have written about it on a site somewhere. Good luck! Feanne, Agreed. Gotta have rice for a proper meal! Oooh, SPAM cooked with brown sugar. Interesting. But what might also be good (in a similar vein as brown sugar)is SPAM in a maple syrup glaze! Hahahaha, how to make a bad food even more bad! :) Fiona,

And I was recently diagnosed with Coeliac, so I am more than devistated. Generally I will have a min of 2 slices a day, with a max of infinity I just love sandwiches, toasties, open grills, toast, everything bready. I hope I can find a good wheat free substitute.

If I had no ill effects from dairy products, I'd drink banana smoothies and milkshakes all the time too. Alessandra, I guess the pasta is for you like rice is for me. Bryan, Yes, we have Mexican places here. Mostly in international food halls or as stand-alone restaurants; no chains (no Taco Bells, no Taco huts). One of my favourite Mexican restaurants is a place called Pancho's, which we went to a couple of years ago to celebrate my 31st birthday: http://www.thefoodpornographer.com/?p=284 AZ, I love rice for breakfast too! With whatever's left over, or some tinned baked beans, or a fried egg. Really simple and savoury and satisfying. Cereal just doesn't cut it for me in the morning. Driver B, I think Jac would agree with you on cheese. She loves cheese and definitely needs to consume it regularly. Erin, I like sushi but have to be in the mood for it. I go through phases - sushi galore, and then nothing for a while, and then sushi-crazy again. Yes, another SPAM eater!!!! I also like (though haven't made it for a while) pasta stir-fry with SPAM - cubes of SPAM, mushrooms, soyaroni, soy sauce and a little sesame oil. Yummy yummy! I've frozen SPAM before, and it was ok to use from frozen later down the track. Why does your bf refuse to eat SPAM? Because of what it is or because he doesn't like the taste? Oh well. More for you. :) Denisse, I like nuts but they aren't something I crave. My favourite nuts are hazelnuts, cashews, macadamias and peanuts. Your nut bar with all the delicious flavours and coatings sounds great! I love flavoured macadamias especially, and candied nuts. Least favourite nut is the brazil nut, just too much nut for me. :) deborah, Mmmm, I love popcorn. I've been thinking about getting a popcorn maker so I can just buy the plain corn kernels and pop (and flavour) my own. We have yummy microwave popcorn here, but they tend to be butter flavour, and sometimes I'd be much happier with just plain old salted. ilovefood, Since we moved offices, I have missed the great Japanese food we had at the old place - the Japanese places I can get lunch from now are okay, but aren't anywhere as good. FRESH.OYSTERS, I think most of my readers are with me on rice! Maybe that's why they like this site, we have similar tastes and cravings. :-P Cellobella, Hahaha. Do you like any chocolate, or are you a milk/dark/white person? I read an interesting article recently on Serious Eats, which discusses "Is white chocolate really chocolate?" http://www.seriouseats.com/required_eating/2008/06/white-chocolate-how-its-made-flavor-appeal.html Lydia,

I can't live without japanese food! My bf and I usually have japanese at least once a week, lately we haven't been able to because of exams which is not good as I have been suffering major sushi withdrawal symptoms. In fact just speaking about this makes me want to go and have some japanese food so I am going to treat myself to lunch ahhh spam and rice and egg- so asian! i love it but haven’t bought spam or “luncheon meat” for a long long time! its so convenient though! sometimes i wonder what the meat is actually made of.. lets not think about that.
