    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.

    Fried chicken
    Ramen
    Ham
    Roast beef
    Bbq potato chips
    Cheetos
    Pecan sticky buns
    Doughnuts
    Steak
    Asparagus
    Cheeseburger with a fried egg on it
    Rice pudding
    Bannana pudding

    Some I find hard to fit in my calorie deficit often. Some I would get sick of if I had them more often. Some are too expensive for my budget to have often.

    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. :-(

    Halvah
    Fruit mince tarts
    Cherries

    ... those are seasonal Christmas foods. I like them, but by the end of the Christmas season, I'm OK not seeing them again for a while.

    Chicken wings. The sauces + frying can make my stomach feel unpleasant the following morning, so I eat them sparingly. But I think they're really tasty.

    Pizza
    Sauerkraut

    Blue cheese

    I read that as green eggs and ham xD I got a little excited for a second there. Haha.
    For me, it's fast food. Idk. On my own, I just don't eat out very much. As a college student on a budget, it saves me a little extra money to cut costs from fast food restaurants. Also, there are so many other foods out there that I like MUCH better, so I'll see or hear about a fast food item and think it looks/sounds good but ultimately decide not to buy anything.
    I think the last fast food item I had was in October. It was a Sub of The Day from Subway because 1) I had a particularly weird craving for Subway that day, and 2) I'm a sucker for a good deal.
    The time I most frequently have fast food is when I go home for breaks and even then it's maybe two or three(?) times a month.

    Randomly I get cravings for sweets (cookies, cakes and ice cream) but very rarely. I've been watching what I eat for so long that I have learned to just have a couple pieces of dark chocolate chips, or get my "sweet stuff" in each day with my Quest bar so I rarely get the cravings.

    I do however crave a breakfast sandwich (sausage, egg and cheese on a bagel) basically once a weekend. I try to not give it, but it usually has to happen 2 x a month. And I give into my coffee craving daily. Starbuck's addict.

    Most Greek food, but specifically dolmades and kleftiko. For some reason I want them to stay a rare treat, rather than something that I can have any old time.

    I do not understand. I want all the foods often.
