Jingthing Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Emotionally, physically, or both. Foods / drinks that if you don't have on a daily basis (or at least frequently) you feel deprived / sad about it. Foods / drinks that you go out the way to make sure you have some in stock. Foods / drinks you might feel anxious about the possibility of running out of stock. Obviously, we're all "addicted" to have some foods and drinks in a general way to stay alive. But this is about specific foods. Maybe you don't feel "addicted" to any foods / drinks. But if so, list them here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jingthing Posted April 20, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) My list -- Bananas (Top banana for me, no contest. I feel a strong need for one regular sized banana daily, in the morning, or multiple small bananas. I haven't missed my daily banana in several years. I'll eat them over-ripe, ripe, or under-ripe but prefer ripe. It's a challenge to always have an edible banana ready but I've met the challenge.) Coffee (Large cup in the morning. Physically addicted. It's easy to meet this need, unless bananas.) Avocado Not daily but feel bad if I don't have some at least 2 or 3 times a week. When in local season, more often than that. I have a number of avocado recipes ready. These can be cheap or very expensive depending on the season. I will eat Thai non-Haas ones if I must, but of course prefer Haas style ones, imported or Thai. There are periods of the year where there are cado droughts. Almonds 5 a day. Easy to do. Not a strong addiction, but why not? Brazil Nut. One. Sometimes a challenge to stock. Don't buy too much as they rot over time. Not a strong addiction, but why not? Pumpkin seeds (Pepitas) A tablespoon daily. Not a strong addiction, but why not? Booze One drink daily. Skip fairly often without any pain. Either one small San Mig Lite or one shot glass of Vodka. On special occasions, 100 percent agave TEQUILA, multiple shots. Edited April 20, 2018 by Jingthing 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its weird cause so many good fresh fruits here, but it might be cause of sugar. first thing in the am, half can of either mixed or peaches, then move on to the fresh stuff, daily. 4 - salmon either fillets steaks or sushi, but i will need a salmon fix at least twice a month PS - have you tried Gumbo House, cajun restaurant in jomtien between soi 17 and 18.?

OneMoreFarang Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 A couple of years ago I would have said that I am addicted to Coca-Cola (I didn't want to write Coke). I was drinking it all the time pure or with whiskey. But then, a few years ago, I was diagnosed with diabetes. The first thing I did was I stopped drinking Coke. And to my surprise I never missed it. Not the next day, not the next week, never. A couple of months later I sipped on a glass of coke to confirm if I miss something. It was so sweet that I asked myself why I ever liked it... Apart from that I am not sure if at least 8 shots of espresso per day is counted as an addiction. I just like it and luckily I drink it since forever without sugar, just black and strong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it daily but add hot water, some cinnamon and a tiny bit of honey. I recently read it's not nearly as health promoting as the industry sales pitches, but it tastes good and gives a nice caffeine kick too!

I recently read it's not nearly as health promoting as the industry sales pitches, but it tastes good and gives a nice caffeine kick too! If you haven't already done so, try a bag of Tulip brand cocoa powder, it's 100% cocoa powder with nothing added and can be found in the bakery goods section of supermarkets, the product is intended for baking but using it for drinking purposes means all the usual additive rubbish is not present. the web says this about 100% pure cocoa: "Theobromine is a chemical relative of caffeine but is not a nervous system stimulant. Theobromine dilates the cardiovascular system making the heart's job easier. This is one of the major reasons why cacao is an important part of a heart healthy diet. Contrary to popular opinion, cacao is a poor source of caffeine". To add: I drink cocoa because it is low in caffeine, I had to give up tea and coffee hence it's a good substitute.
