food(s) that makes you go "mmmm!"

Oooh, I like spinach too. Especially thin crust spinach pizza, with olive oil and garlic and goat cheese and pine nuts. It's unbelievably good, and the thin crust makes it feel so much lighter than regular pizza. I may or may not have eaten an entire spinach pizza in one sitting once.

The scrambled eggs come from a carton.

I just assumed everything McDonald's came from a carton.

Anyway, my list isn't very long. I do have quite a few favorite foods, but I only have a consistent craving for a handful of them:

- Ketchup chips...we Canadians are so lucky.
- Shepard's Pie: this is restricted only to my mom's wicked shepard's pie. There have been many an incident where I've thrown out store-bought pie in disgust.
- Pilsbury 3-Cheese Pizza Pops: I swear these things are loaded with additives, cause when I buy them, they never last long.
- Watermelon, my favourite fruit
- Corn on the cob, my favourite vegetable (well, besides cucumber, but you can't make a meal out of cucumber)

As for drinks, my favorites include water and the three Cokes: Coca Cola Classic, Cherry Coke, and Black Cherry Vanilla Coke.

I used to love rice pudding as a kid, but I just realized I haven't had any in years.
Philly cheesesteaks.
Pretty much any pizza made in the tri-state area.
Mom's Christmas cookies.
My wife's alfredo sauce, calzones, breaded macaroni and cheese, and pork chops. (As well as, er, everything else you make, dear!)
And cajun-style ribs. Mmmmm, ribs.

I'm a sucker for cajun anything (blackened steak, chicken, fish) as long as it's not those atrotious crawdads.

[Razzberryfinn]

crawdads are my favorite! Like mini lobsters.

Our backyard consists of roughly 26 acres, and every fall we have some historical reenactors come and camp out for the weekend. They put up tepees and tents, and cook over an open fire, etc. Anyway, one time they brought up a cooler full of crawdads from Louisiana that they boiled in a big pot with corn and veggies and tons of spices. They were so hot they'd burn your tongue and make your eyes water, but it was one of the best things I have ever had.

I've always got love for fresh baked Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies.... soooo goooood....
I also go mmmmmm for:
- Terryaki chicken wings
- a nice medium rare steak
- pork chops
- apple pie
- BBQ chicken pizza and bacon double cheeseburger pizza

and now, as with most posters on this thread, i am very hungry.

-Sage stuffing. One of my specialties. I make it at every holiday. Best with my grandmother's giblet gravy.
-Sauerkraut stuffing. This is an historic recipe dating from the 1700s. Makes a very nice, juicy bird. I never get any support to make it for guests though, after that one Thanksgiving.
-Chicken marsala with mushrooms and onions. The way I make it it's probably really bastardized chicken marsala, but good nonetheless. And it's a one-pot recipe. Sweet.
-Roasted lamb. I only made it once but it was so incredibly good, it makes my mouth water still. I hope I can repeat the success if I try again (no recipe to follow, I was throwing stuff together--it involved mint, chives, and white wine, mushrooms, and I think some other herb).
-Welsh cookies. They're like sweet, dense pancakes. I like the black currant and nutmeg ones, with some Prince of Wales tea with brown sugar.
-Crab rangoons. Cream cheese + crab + deep fried = bliss.
-Pork chops, lima beans, and sauerkraut. Best meal in the world.
-Anything with black cherries, particularly ice cream and soda. I'm an absolute sucker for it.
-Strawberry pretzel salad. It's a layered dish: pretzels, sweetened cream cheese, strwberry jell-o with real strawberries/raspberries in it, and cool whip. Always a hit at a pot luck.
-As a poor college student, I used to mix things with rice. The original was a broken-up minute steak, cheese, mayo and ketchup. Later I used ground beef, ground turkey, canned chicken, all kinds of veggies (almost always onions and mushrooms), lime juice, ginger, etc. Whatever was at hand. Not usually great cuisine but a lot of fun and really hard to screw up beyond repair.
-Chicken in a cream sauce with terragon and mushrooms. I think it's called Chicken Normandy.
-Stuffed crust pizza.

Oh, and Skor and Zagnut bars. Next to impossible to find around here though, unless you're in the Navy.

The greatest day in the world (as far as food's concerned) goes as follows:

Breakfast- (and ideally this would happen at my Meadow's Diner)
-Toast with butter,
-Plain bagel with cream cheese,
-Fresh orange or fruit salad,
-Apple juice,
-Milk (yes, I like two drinks with my dry toast!)

Lunch-
-American cheese and Shop Rite brand potato chips on potato bread,
-Wawa soft pretzels,
-Wawa diet green iced tea (you can get a big thing of it for about a dollar!),
-Ben and Jerry's Phish Food for desert

MIDDAY SNACK!
-Apple sauce!!!!!!

Dinner-
-Being from the S. Jersey/Philly area, I must boast that we have the greatest pizza in all the world. One pizzeria called Gallery's (four blocks away from my house, joy for me!) is quite honestly the best pizza you can imagine. I have never known anyone who has had Gallery's pizza and said "I didn't like it" or even "it was ok/pretty good." Everyone loves it! So anyway, my dinner would be extra-cheese pizza from Gallery's,
-Diet Peach iced Tea Snapple,
-Baked potato,
-Death By Chocolate for desert! (except that the mere thought of this makes you instantly gain 5 pounds.)


Some more of my favorites:
-Wawa hot dogs (I'd die without Wawa)
-Teriyake chicken
-Fries
-Cheerios or Special K
-Chicken kiev
-Chicken fingers/tenders from just about any restaurant, but mostly Chili's, Cracker Barrel, Friendly's, and Applebee's.
-Ramen noodles (cut me some slack....I'm in college!)
-The Slim Fast bars are surprisingly good and filling
-Brownie's!
-Peaches
-Grapes (preferably green)
-Cucumbers
-And mud (if you don't know what that is, it's not nearly as gross as it sounds!

And shockingly enough I'm not hungry after this! (This may or my not be due to the fact I'm already eating a pint of Cherry Garcia, I'm not sure.)

I thought of more. Homemade applesauce and jam. I can't eat storebought because my parents made these for so long. I make my mom ship jam out to me.
