When I was a kid my mum would buy me the babybels if I was good in the grocery store. I get them as a treat still as an adult. Red wine, not only because it is booze, but is not like a party booze. It's a curl up in bed, light a candle, put on some Phillip Glass and play some Zelda on Wii booze.

I looooooooove chocolate. Lindt is my favorite grocery store brand. I also love Papadopoulos dark chocolate bars that come in a blue wrapper, but I've only ever seen them in Greece and I couldn't find a picture. I don't like Hershey's, though; the sour milk they use tastes weird to me now that I've had real chocolate (take that American chocolatiers!! :P).

i simply eat food, any food when ever i can get it... buck65 sums it up
mmmm
Food it puts me in a good mood it keeps me goin'
When under strains ain't nothin worse than hunger pains
Right there, start with light fair if need be,
Snax with a X, whatever just feed me some food
it puts me in a good mood it keeps me goin'
When under strains ain't nothin worse than hunger pains
Right there, start with light fair if need be
Snax with an X, whatever just feed me

I'm hungry, and I'm itchin to get in the kitchen
so let me consider what's in the refrigerator
for some ingredients needed good eggs wheat and flour
for something salty or maybe sweet and sour lemon
Fill my dishes with delicious fish and brown rice
sounds nice but I can't argue with barbecue
Unforgettable edibles fresh fruits and vegetables
A tomato tornado and a plate of mashed potatoes
I'm droolin for tabooli salad, lentils and chick peas
I'm ready for spaghetti and cold cuts with brick cheese
I can't say no to risotto I'm lost in dreams of deserts like
pumpkin pies and boston creams. i gobble a peach cobbler after i eat
lobster alone with a couple of pieces of cheese pizza maybe,
I can manage to do some damage to a sandwich, marshmallows,
peanut butter and bananas and a big plate of gnocci if I'm lucky
with pitta bread
Feed me a fajita, or else a burrito instead
I'll tell you 'bout the merits of carrots and asparagus
My knowledge of scallops and my advice on fried rice and for the right price you can begin to dig in to more than baloney and finish a bowl of minestrone
Please make cheese cake
Everybody wants a lot of avocado on a chicken enchilada
Watch me wolf down a four pound minimum of chocolate-chip cookies and rice pudding with cinnamon
I'm starving for fried calimari with seaweed
I'm trying to save room for strawberries and kiwi
To satisfy it'll take more than a little plate of french fries, falafals, waffles and griddle cakes.
All this might be enough but I'm doubtful, so I'm gonna savour the flavour of every mouthful of
