Same with Caramac, which is some sort of white chocolate caramel flavouring hybrid everyone loved as kids in the UK. Except me.
Really savoury food is my real downfall. 70s party buffet food is my absolute kryptonite. Sausage rolls? Cubes of bright orange cheddar, pineapple and pickled onion on a toothpick shoved in a tin foil covered potato? I am all in.
Arrrrrghh! Curse you!
Where the heck am I going to find those at such short notice? And I've not got anyone coming over for a visit for a few months either. My niece came over recently and the darling girl had a suitcase crammed full of Old Jamaica chocolate for me.

If you only like pizza a certain way, you don't really like pizza.
A true pizza lover loves the best pizza (which is Cassano's in sw Ohio, a St. Louis style thin crust pizza) and the worst pizza (little ceasar's).
Same with chocolate. If you only like gourmet chocolate, you're not a chocolate lover.
I love Hershey kisses.
I love m&ms.
I love pillsbury brownies.
I love Twix.
I love Betty Crocker chocolate cake (box mix) with Betty Crocker chocolate icing.
I love all the chocolate.
I am not discriminatory.
Do you mean St. Louis style pizza as in that stuff with the disgusting provel cheese?
Probably means extremely thin cracker like crust but cut in squares. Usually anyone outside of St Louis has no idea about provel cheese. I live in STL now but not born here, I can tolerate it on IMO's pizza but I prefer mozzarella.
That is indeed what I meant.0 -

I don't know about Little Caesar but Pizza Hut is disgusting.
Twixt isn't chocolate though..
Little ceasar's is the cheap option you get for birthday parties because it's inexpensive but still pizza.
Pizza Hut's pan crust meat lover's pizza is delicious and anyone who says otherwise is a lying teller of lies.
I'm a big fan of papa john's too, btw.
And Twix is chocolate on the outside. Crunchy caramelly goodness on the inside.
Well that just goes without saying.snickerscharlie wrote: »Carlos_421 wrote: »I guess everyone has something they feel strongly about.

Twix has chocolate, sure, but it's really not what you taste the most (love them though).
I liked Papa John the last time I had some too though!0 -

Is now the time to disclose I am really indifferent to Oreos...........4

I haven't seen them for ages but then I don't go looking for them. Apparently I can get a whole box of 48 on Amazon for £26 and free delivery. Ah Amazon.0 -
Hate to say this... It won't make me popular by any means... The latest studies are showing that it appears that indeed, sugar is likely causative of diabetes. Stay tuned for more, I'll bet we'll all be eating those words ( sugar doesn't cause diabetes).
I'm not going to address what you've said in your post, but just make sure you specify what TYPE of diabetes you mean.
I didn't eat myself this way, I was born with a predisposition which was triggered by a viral infection. Sugar played no role whatsoever.0 -

The things I'd do for Tim Tams.. I love to use them as a straw for coffee (it's the only way!) I LOVED the hazelnut and caramel ones, but never found them here.
But oreos are love, too.

Update. Tried the Tim Tam as a straw this morning. Not sure what to think. The insides just got all mushy. 5/10 on the yum scale.4

Me too. In fact, like Nilla wafers, I tend to think the only point of them is to dunk in a glass of milk, so if I have calories for something sweet I'll spend them in some other way.
I'd eat the hell out of a street vendor's falafel sandwich, though.1 -

In the chocolate biscuit genre, I am all about a bourbon. Dunked in tea.
Falafel sandwiches aren't a thing here, much less street vendors of such a thing. My local Persian restaurant does do astonishing falafels though, again, usually indifferent to them, the ones from there I could eat every day.0 -

I'm not aware of any such street vendors here (referencing back someone else's comment), but there's a Middle Eastern lunch place near my office that has good ones that I get occasionally. My favorite Persian restaurant has good ones too, but they also have a great salmon kebob (with dill rice) that I can't resist and always end up getting.0 -
Perhaps off topic but I just ate an entire 9 Oz bag of smart food white cheddar popcorn ... 900 and something calories ... meanwhile my supportive Mr is making turkey lettuce wraps for dinner. I am an idiot. I know, just keep swimming. But once I get a craving twinge, my self control goes right out the window. I do try not to even buy trigger foods, but lately, everything's a trigger food. Ugh.0

2 Pizza Hut is the worst pizza followed by Dominos. Little Caesars and Papa Johns are acceptable albeit trashy pizza esp if you are high.1 -
Yeah I don't dunk either, lol.0

Yeah, I can only have a few pieces of Imos before I'm over it, I also can only eat the corners where the edge is crispy, and always have to ask for light cheese b/c that provel is disgusting to me.
Are you in STL? I actually prefer provel on salads than on pizza. Have you ever eaten at Rigazzis on the Hill? They make fried provel. It is... unique. I like it but usually because it is accompanied by a fishbowl of beer and it is nostalgic as my now husband took me there on my first time visiting STL and we ate them on my wedding day bus ride around town between wedding and reception...0 -

I 75% agree with you. Little Caesars is also good for weeknights when you have a change of plans and need dinner fast. I also am partial to their crazy bread and it reminds me of when I was a kid and my mom would come home with these long packages of two (TWO!) pizzas: "pizza pizza"
Also Twix is the only candy that had the cookie crunch. Do not doubt George Costanza's candy preferences.

I'll see your Tim Tams and white chocolate mice and raise you a Tunnock's Teacake.
When I saw the length and rapid growth of this thread I thought an argument must have broken out. I didn't expect an in-depth discussion about which chocolate (or pizza, or cheese, or chocolate-covered cheese) the OP would be best to binge on.

Going to have to buy some of these next time I'm in the supermarket now!0 -
Even at my age, I still can't eat a Tunnock's Teacake without smashing it on my forehead first
Edit for context: We used to do that in primary school, and I think most people stopped then!3 -
There used to be a teacake that you could peel the mallow off with your mouth to leave the chocolate jam biscuit bit ..so you'd eat the shell, then peel off the mallow and eat it like a marshmallow ...those mallows in tunnocks are gooey...they vaguely upset me in their wrongness
