Something I crave a lot -
I say it's because I'm a New Yorker and New Yorker's LOVE food. We don't eat to live. We live to eat and enjoy great food. When you're from the "City that never sleeps" you're used to enjoying all manner of edible delicacies...pizza, Chinese food, pretzels, hot dogs, to name a few. There are foods I don't eat since leaving the Big Apple just because no one prepares these meals like a New Yorker and thinking about it makes me hungry for all sorts of yummy food.
Unfortunately being a New Yorker does not mean that my usual craving has anything to do with fine dining. The one thing I crave most over all others is chocolate--deep, dark, strong, smooth, foreign...chocolate (yes, I realize that I could have been describing a man and I will admit that my tastes in chocolate translate fairly well into my taste in men).
I don't eat the candy you find at 7Eleven or even the neighborhood market--that stuff tastes like wax to me. I like the stuff you find in the gourmet grocer aisles with 60% cocoa or more. I especially love Madagascan or South American or African chocolate. I love chocolate with chili or cayenne pepper. I love chocolate with lavender. I love chocolate.
A friend once gave me a plaque to hang at my desk at work. "I'd give up chocolate, but I'm no quitter." Exactly!
