   The Poutine. When I was living in vancouver I’d have it every other day, but they don’t have it in Sydney, South Park gave me the idea for the solution:

   Macca’s Fries + KFC Gravy.

   Cut up a Bega Stringers stick into the gravy, heat that mix up, and pour it on the fries. Heart Attack, here I come.

   The hotdogs at my local chip ago are my current thing. Last year it was Nandos hot peri peri sauce, I would put that stuff on everything I could.

    When I moved into my flat I was eating porridge on a daily basis, now I’ve converted to muesli with porridge as backup.
    Although I wouldn’t say I’m obsessed with it.

    I once went through a big tortellini/ravioli phase, and a chicken madras phase… milk and cookies… cranberry juice…

    Not particularly obsessed with anything these days.

       But have you made porridge with the muesli?

       Seriously. It’s amazing. The fruit plumps up, the oats and bran disappear into creamy porridge goo… it’s so very good…

    I’ve had cornfalkes for breakfast most mornings for a good 5-8 years.

    I love Chocolate & Coke.

    Can’t get enough Bacon & Cheese Zinger combos…until I do.

    Cheesecake is the ultimate cake. Not the expensive stuff the cheap stuff! OH YEEEH!

       I yeah, I did a good five year stint of Tuna & tomato flavoured pasta for dinner almost every day.
       Good times, I can still eat that.
       Tuna is the god of all fish!

    My current obsession/ addictions are Mamee Monster Noodle Snacks and Cadbury Creme Eggs, you know… the healthy stuff.

    Where beverages are concerned i am addicted to Ouzo and Orange Mother, Most of my mates cant stand Ouzo but this stuff i buy is really smooth and doesnt have that ethanol taste and the liquorice isnt to overpowering like some cheaper booze has and the orange mother gives it a nice zing. Its really hard to explain.

    Things I am obsessed with … Dr Pepper from my days as a youngling playing rugby and they would give us these tiny cans after each game.
    Whiskey – I’m trying to find a decent grog to drink to make people think I’m fancy. So far I’ve settled on Tullamore Dew
    Potatoes – Because you can live off of them, butter and milk. If needed, I can get all the nutrients from mashed potatoes.
    Those weird frozen weight watcher meals – I don’t really get much time to cook properly and I’m trying to lose some weight, most of them taste like heated up cardboard.

          eeeh … I’m not really a popcorn fan, it’s a bit too salty for me and I hate having it stuck in my teeth. I miss my wood fire stove, that thing was awesome.

             Yeah, I haven’t used one for years! I remember when a lot of older houses would still have old wood fire stoves in the kitchens – even though the homes had been upgraded to electric. Mostly country towns though… I suppose the older ones would of been classed as ‘fire hazards’ by todays’ laws.

    After getting back into a Plum obsession, I bought Peaches one day on a whim and now I’m going through a Peach phase instead. I’ve also found myself getting back into wholegrain mustard. It’s fantastic stuff.

    Well, I’m always obsessed with Coffee, Tea and Tobacco. Also, large quantities of Arnott’s biscuits and Smith’s crinkle-cut variety packs. Also, fresh bakery breads make everything better!

    So I suppose;

    – Dairy Farmers Yoghurt – has that tang that other brands’ don’t.
    – Kellogs cereals – anytime snack and magically delicious.
    – Ham, cheese and Tomato toasted sandwiches – I can eat them forever, and do!
    – and Eucalyptus & Honey drops – taste just amazing which make me think I maybe have Koala genes somehow…

    Also, Mark, try some Cinnamon mixed in with your porridge – f*ckin great mate 😛

    A while ago the coffee machine in my office broke down. One day my workmate offered me this Asian instant coffee called OldTown and I have been hooked ever since.
    Now that the coffee machine is fixed, I still occasional grab a few sachets from him. Wonder what they they put into those instant coffee @@

    Pretzels!

    Not the crispy kind that come in a bag (and make you thirsty 😛 ) but the bread kind.
    For a while there I would make them every couple of days trying to make the closest to perfect pretzels I could without using lye which is what gives the proper ones their colour and flavour but is super-dangerous to have in a house with young kids around.
    I almost perfected it . Then I gave up. And now I just go the Markets in Brisbane every Wednesday to buy some. 😛

    Edit: I’m also currently obsessed with citrus flavoured vodkas in Coke.
    And before pretzels it was bacon. I cured my own but I get too impatient so I haven’t done it for a while.
