Foods I could eat to the point of physical discomfort
1. Girl Scouts Thin Mints™. Don't let the cute green uniforms fool you: those kids are pushing pure eeeevil. I shudder at the memory of eating half a box in one sitting (but still marvel that I was able to stop at half). The peanut butter ones are diabolical as well.
2. Hummus and pita chips. They're from the Mediterranean so they've got to be good for you, right?
3. Chocolate-covered pretzels. Salt, sugar, fat and crunch: there's really nothing missing from this equation.
4. Guacamole. Not only is it delicious, it's fun to say, especially as part of the expression "Holy guacamole!" (Don't worry, I don't use that a lot.)
5. Hob-Nobs. The reason I gained 15 pounds when I lived in London. (OK, the Guinness didn't help.) My local grocery store sells them but I've so far managed to avoid their siren call. To those who are hearing about these insanely great cookies for the first time, I apologize in advance.
6. Movie theater popcorn. To my credit, I avoid the "butter" topping.

No fair -- now I want another snack.
Is this a menu? I would like one of each please.
I'm with you on everything except the guac (I like it fine, but not to the point of discomfort). I will add Haagen-Dazs chocolate ice cream, which is what I crave when I am not feeling well and pretty much any kind of plain cake. Give me a fork and some not so amazing store-bought cake and you might find me sitting dazed in front of an empty box.
I second the Haagan Daz... many stomach pained memories of eating pints of choc choc chip haagan daz icecream at the movies! (and yes the butter popcorn was included in that misadventure!)
You bin holding out on the hobnobs? Don't tell me wife.
You were able to eat only half a box of thin mints? You are my idol!
As for those foods for me - grilled medium rare steak, Phish Food ice cream, reese's peanut butter cups. Seriously.
