What’s the one food that you need for survival?
Right now mine is cottage cheese. I read an article that said cottage cheese was the perfect food to eat before bedtime. The slow digesting protein helps you sleep and retain muscle. I started about 1 month ago, I now sleep right through the night (I used to get up 3-4 times at night), and believe it or not I’ve been loosing about 2-lbs per week. It’s gotten so bad I will go to the store just to buy more so I don’t run out. I eat 1/2 a container every night.
Anyone else have weird food habits?

Assuming we are putting caffeine in a different category,
I've been having popcorn as an after work snack almost daily for a few years now.

Mine used to be vanilla yogurt with oat and dark chocolate granola mixed in.
However, I've had a stomach bug for a week and dairy is no-go right now.

How large is your half a container?

I like cottage cheese with pineapple or pears in it. We keep it on hand most of the time.
Right now I'm eating the artisan very dry thin bread slices.
I love turtles candy but won't let myself eat them very often, I can eat the whole bag.
Right now my obsession is halo oranges, I will eat 3 or 5 of them at night, soooo good, I just ran out and was just in town today. I have a few kiwis and a mango left.

Jif peanut butter, accompanied with an iced tea spoon to make eating out of the jar easier.

Peanut butter. It has been my food obsession since I was a kid. For real, if I was ever told I could only have 1 food for the rest of my life it would be peanut butter. And, if I get a choice, it would be Jif creamy. But really, any peanut butter will do.

I guess I'd have to pick peanut butter too. Followed closely by hummus, guac, and sushi. If I need a snack in the evenings, a spoonful of peanut butter always does the trick.

Looking at most of these responses I would have to say peanut butter = life, might be time to stock up before the apocalypse.

love cottage cheese, going to be having some for breakfast in a little bit, actually. but I wouldn't call it my survival food. lately, that seems to be roasted broccoli. mixed in with whatever, or on its own doused in crushed red pepper. I can't get enough of it.

Peanut butter is such an American thing. Husband hates it, as has every exchange student I ever had.

I guess sharp cheddar cheese or maybe brie (hard decision for me)...I have almost an entire shelf in the fridge of various types of cheese. I do have cottage cheese and I like it, but I could live without it.

Does tacos count as "a" food? I need variety on the filling parts dang it! Also, a good sharp cheddar. And, sadly for my diet, all things dark chocolate.  I seem to have a list, not an obsession. |
