Food fantasies and fetishes - what are you craving?

Craving Easter Eggs

Hmmm has to be a proper sunday roast with a cold pint in a nice english country pub.
What I wouldn't do for that right now 

Mexican food. Some real tacos and salsa would be awesome.

Decided to grind some beef for cheeseburgers yesterday.  There wasn't as much beef as I'd hoped (it's a pain to get out the grinder, to set it up, and to clean it, so this isn't done just to make 2 or 3 hamburgers), so my lovely wife surrendered some pork to be added.

I was out of American cheese.

This meant that I was committing blasphemy already.    Since I was about to violate one of the most sacred laws of the cheeseburger deities, I decided to get experimental.  Sitting in the fridge was a package of special, famous, auspicious Dongguan sausages - that intriguing Guangdong style made using sugar instead of salt to preserve them.  A big handful of those joined the beef and pork in the grinder.

Other than eating a cheeseburger only using slices of non-American cheese (a most grievous sin that I shall surely suffer for), the results were actually very pleasing.

Honey Nut Cheerios with 2% milk.

o_O ... *just* realized - the cheezies have not been added to the shopping list! my honey will be here in less than three weeeeeks - it's not too late!

CAN HAZ CHEEZEEZ!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The craving intensified over night.  All I can think of is the extreme cheezy goodness.  Now the man is toying with me - he says Air Canuck's 1 free suitcase policy means no room for Cheezeez.   

He's not serious though.  Can't be. 

I very rarely get cravings but one night last week I had the phantom smell of sausages hit my nose and since then I've been wanting a full English. Think it's time to get some 'western' food in me.

I just ordered good, brown, sourdough rye bread from CityShop because I have a craving for a slice of home. If only China had pickled herring...oh, if only...

Well we managed to get frozen Pita bread in Metro and hubby found chick peas so we had the hummus and pita as it should be but no falafel so that's pretty close I guess..
on another note I would really be happy to have some nice brown bread with seeds for my marmite but will have to make do with the local wonder Fritz the baker until we return home for the winter break.

If only China had pickled herring...oh, if only...

Durian fruit and stinky dofu should have an equivalent effect.

 

Something I got for the food exhibition which I am drooling in anticipation of is cream crackers. Some Irish Cheddar with proper cream crackers. Can't bloody wait

I might see if Auchan has Port, I'll pay for that out of my own pocket....

Pshaw...Only those who deliberately avoid the true pleasures in life would find fault with pickled herring....

I just got back from the market...I now donkey in my fridge and yet I am sad..My quest to find swan is still a failure. I want to eat swan. This is China. I just saw some Xinjiang chaps selling what appeared to be Cheetah skin on the street. If people can sell the skin of endangered animals on the street in the middle of the day, one should be able to buy swan meat. The quest continues...
