...or get diabetes or something otherwise detrimental to your health?

35. I like that!
Let me know if you and potatoes ever split up, I want a shot. Until then, I'll be over here sweet-talking the organic berry cobbler I made last night to have for dessert over the weekend. Because I could eat a whole lot of that with half-and-half, if it weren't so fond of settling somewhere south of my belly-button and thumbing its nose at me.

15. Really thick chocolate malts
And I wouldn't need to use lactaid for them either.
Also chocolate, chocolate cake, chocolate mousse, plain chocolate cookies, hot cornbread with butter, fois gras, strip steak and sour cream.
How could I forget cheese? And clotted cream? And strawberry/rhubarb jam?

21. Cilantro
It makes me a little nuts and I devour anything with cilantro in it. Hell, I'd probably eat fresh tar from the road if there was enough cilantro involved.

30. Difference of Opinion at the CO Liberal House
Mrs. CO Liberal: Spaghetti & meatballs (home-made by Mrs. CO Liberal), garlic bread w/butter, Caersar salad covered with parmesan cheese, and a New York Style Chocolate Cheesecake with raspberry sauce. And a big cup of hazelnut coffee.

Me: A big, juicy steak (or prime rib) with a baked potato with butter AND sour cream and chives, corn on the cob, a cold beer, and anything chocolate for dessert - preferably Bennigan's "Death By Chocolate".

By the way, I DID eat this constantly for my entire childhood and adolescence. It was, literally, every day's dinner. And I never got tired of it.

46. Yep!
If I could eat these all the time and not gain weight (and it doesn't involve intestinal parasites), I'd be one happy camper. Thrown some artichokes, onions, and black olives on along with the pepperoni, and it'd be even better. Oh baby!!!

56. i had a month and a half between my cancer diagnosis and....
...the start of chemo, so i ate like it was 1999-haagen daas and dreyers-the specialty pints-tiramisu ice cream, dulce le leche, coffee, vanilla, chocolate, black raspberry avalanche. at LEAST a pint a day. and cookies. and i made pagliaccis deliver pizzas. so there is my end of the world food. and the chemo knocked it all off me. the docs freaked at first, but i told them-"the first 20 lbs are haagen daas"

60. Pizza and Ice Cream
Meat Lovers from Pizza Hut and the Creamy Creations 1905 Vanilla from HEB Ice Cream. For those of you outside the area, HEB is a grocery store, and that is their ice cream brand. The 1905 tastes like home made snow ice cream if that helps. My mom would make ice cream out of snow each time it fell growing up. LOVED IT.
