    I want all foods I like often.

    If the title were "foods you like but can't afford often" my list is:

    filet
    halibut
    halo top
    noosa yoghurt

    and countless others.

    Cheesecake. I like it, but it is so rich.

    Hummus. I love it, but it's a mood thing.
    Coffee. I go through spells of either adoring it or loathing it. It's really weird. I'm currently loathing it.
    Cheese eaten by itself. It lost its huge appeal for me after menopause for some reason. Now it's a mood thing.

    I found I like fried mushrooms, but they give me horrible gas pains.

    Crustaceans with really annoying shells, especially crawfish.

    Seafood in general because of their price.
    Bone-in meat for similar reasons to crustaceans. I really hate having to deal with unedible parts.

    I do like fish but didn't grow up eating it so am not great at preparing it. I'm a pretty good cook, but have this gap. Just means I really only eat it out and then not often.

    Pizza (and fast food in general). I really like it but I don't know why I only feel like having it maybe once every 1-3 months? This has always been the case even before weight loss. I guess it has to do with habits and what I'm used to.

    Ice cream. I only eat it strictly in the summer.

    Eggs. I love them but I'm mildly allergic. Sometimes the bloating and mild pain is worth it, other times it's not, and having them days in a raw gets progressively worse so I don't do that.

    Alcohol. I mean yeah, I do enjoy it a bit, but I find myself not wanting anything to do with it unless it's a social gathering, and even then it's a mood thing. I sometimes go 2-3 years without having any, then 2-3 years having it on all major holidays. One glass is usually enough, any more than that and it goes from "like" to "aversion" pretty quickly like magic.

    Fish. I like it, but if I have it often (read more than once every 2 or so weeks) I get bored of it pretty quickly.

    Soda. I go from having it daily for a few days to not even remembering it exists for weeks or months at a time.

    I thought of one more:

    French fries. I adore them, but only eat them when we go on vacation, twice a year. I can get really good, reliably gluten free fries on the boardwalk then and let loose the hounds of hell freely then. I usually have them at least twice each week when we're there. The same for the really good caramel corn on the boardwalk.

    I have tried making my own, but they just don't come out as good. They're not worth the effort.

    I really like shellfish (mussels especially) but they don't like me. It's just not worth it any more. Chosen to give them up before severe GI "distress" turns to anaphylaxis as it did with several other family members. :-(
