Naturally Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 You know the one (or perhaps there are several) - what's the one thing you just can't get enough of when you're on track with your diet - be it paleo or other?I just can't get enough of pickled eggs at the moment. Previously I have had love affairs with gherkins and pickled beetroot (not all pickles - pickled cauliflour is all kinds of wrong).The other day it was apples. Hey, I'm just happy if its not crisps or junk.What's yours? The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually afraid to make one. - Elbert Hubbard Link to comment

jjhatch Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Avocados and pistachios. I can't get enough of them, though they are high in fat (even if it's a good fat) so I can't go TOO crazy. Check out my weight loss/fitness blog on Tumblr! Link to comment
Evicious Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Kimchi. I eat it straight from the jar with a fork. And tea (although technically not a food) - I can't get enough of tea! Chai, Sleepy Time, Green, and Earl Grey are what's on hand ATM; I make a point of avoiding the tea aisle in the store until I empty at least one box I already have.

Corbab Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 So many of them... Honestly, I just freaking love eggs. Especially hard-boiled, I'll down a few just as a snack.As far as real weird food goes, I have to go with balut (duck embryo). I've only had it once, but it was absolutely delicious, and I'm really hoping I'll encounter it again in my future travels.

Kewilson Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Scrambled eggs. Once I learned how to make them perfectly every time I couldn't get enough of them.

WorldWarCheese Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I'm not paleo, but here's some of the weird food I eat on a daily or weekly basis.Duck eggs that have been put in vats of sea water for a long time (called "kaikhem or "salty eggs"). BBQ Chicken Hearts/Livers. Various curries. Horseshoe crab salad. Catfish on a stick.Bird's eggs (little ones, songbirds I think) fried with soy sauce.Durian and a lot of other fruits. I live in a land of very interesting and absolutely delicious foods. Link to comment
Sambalina Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Hard boiled quail eggs are delicious, but a pain in the bum to peel!And I have to set strict limits on my prune intake, and only buy dried mango if it's a special occasion.

Rosie Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 You're not alone on the pickled stuff, I could eat it until it comes out of my ears. Gherkins, onions, olives. I could happily sit there with a jar of capers and a fork and munch away. Never tried picked eggs though, sounds a bit wrong :-S Also my favourite afterwork snack is to slice up a tomato and pour Lea & Perrins sauce all over it, so yummy!

SOOO gooood. Hard boil eggs and shell, drying thoroughly with kitchen towel. Get big clean glass jar. Put eggs in (they may squish side by side.. thts fine) and top up with white vinegar (if you can't get that then malt is okay but its a stronger more acquired taste). Cloves or bay leaf optional. Leave in fridge for minimum 2 weeks - enjoy vinegary goodness.Nom Nom Nom. I tend to buy mine already done, but those occasions I have made my own if I don't have any white vinegar to hand I have also re-used vinegar from pickled onions. Its all good.

Its all good.I like to pickle mine with beets. That way you get the sweeter flavor of the beets coming through and the eggs are so pink and so pretty. Basically you do the same as above but boil some beets and take the skins off, slice them up and toss them in the jar with the eggs.

Shoshie Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I'm on an elimination diet right now, and I can't get enough avocados or artichokes. Seriously, it's like every time is guacamole time. And when I learned that you can cook artichokes in the microwave, my artichoke munching became unstoppable. Not great for my wallet, but delicious! I wonder if I can combine artichokes and guacamole into one amazing superdish. Maybe...dip the artichokes in guacamole? Puree artichokes hearts and add them to the guacamole? Also, garlic in everything.

My eggs in the morning, my chicken broth snacks, into yogurt ranch dressing, and even stranger foods.I went through a phase of putting sriracha on everything. Then it ended because I had to cut nightshades for this elimination diet that I'm on. I continue to be incredibly sad and gaze longingly at the rooster sauce. I swear, eliminating nightshades is so much harder than eliminating soy or gluten or whatever. I keep craving tomato soup and spicy foods.
