White crusty cobs. Love the taste and smell of them.
Even with novorapid, I will be high at two hour mark. If I use enough to cover two hrs, I will hypo at three.

Hi benjigirl,
Like you, I desire (fried eggs and) c. 450 grams of home made chips filling my plate, made with very tasty Maris Piper or Maris Bard potatoes. (I have to restrict myself to less than 150 grams of chips now to prevent spiking my blood glucose.)

Crisps, chips anything potato based! If diabetes is good for anything its good for developing willpower

I really miss Bombay Duck (dried fish) that the EU banned from restaurants on health reasons. Still, I have four large jars of anchovies to keep me going for a while.

Oh, and whole packets of wine gums. One gum a day is nowhere near enough.

None that I can think of at the moment, if I was to crave a food badly I would just go out and buy it and then eat it :D

Was in my local Tesco Express on the way home from work. I only went in for some lettuce, saw the beefburgers and then I saw the ready made cauliflower cheese and was overwhelmed by a sudden desire for it! I haven't had cauli cheese for yonks. So I plonked two beefburgers and the cauli cheese on a plate and wolfed the lot down. And boy did I enjoy it. :D
