Mashed potatoes. Every time.
rice with an over easy egg, kimchi, and sriracha. I craved it when preggers and I love it now!
Pizza with just way to much cheese. Or for the sweet department, dark chocolate cream pudding.
Salt and vinegar chips, tortilla chips and salsa, and gummy bears are my favorites. My dad would make his own salsa and it was absolutely heavenly, and now that I live pretty far away from him, any salsa reminds me of him. The other two just taste good 😂
Ice cream or pasta. I don’t know what it is about the pasta but whenever I’m crying I always crave it
Spicy tortilla chips with sour cream mixed with garlic, chili powder, salt and pepper. I haven't had it in years because I'm already way too fat but I do love that stuff.
Also love our simple Hungarian "peasant" dishes like white bread with lard spread on it, sprinkle of salt, paprika, and lots of salted onions as garnish. Or our "bread in a coat" which is like French toast but savoury. Dry leftover bread slices dipped in lots of salted eggs, fried in a lot of oil, served with our special pickled gherkins and sugary-lemony tea. Our "mac and cheese" which is any sort of pasta, lots of sour cream, salt, melted trappista cheese (similar to Eidamer or Gouda). Langallo which is like pizza but with sour cream, onions, fat bacon and garlic on it. Langos which is like that Navajo fried bread but it's made with yeast, not bicarbonate of soda and is fried in oil, then served with an obscene amount of garlic, sour cream and cheese. If none of these are an option then just a large burger with everything in it, French fries, onion rings. So basically anything that's full of carbs and fat.
Every day when I get home I make myself a KICKASS mango smoothie and it takes all the stress from the day and f*****g erases it
