Coffee. Sometimes I drink up to two pots of coffee in one day. I need to cut down.
Duck. Keep that stuff away from me. I love duck, I love duckfat even more. I can sit down and eat a whole duck fat and all. It's sick...
Altoids. I've recently had to stop purchasing them. Might as well be smoking a pack of cigarettes a day.

Kuan, along with duck and duck fat, are duck cracklin's. You know, the crispy skin left over from rendering all the fat. At one of my old jobs, we always pulled them out, hit them with salt and tobasco. I couldn't walk past the prep table they were sitting on without grabbing a handful!!!!

What a great question...
Chips and spicy chunky salsa
Delicious steaming mussels
Chicken and rice
Those would definitely have to be my weaknesses... oh what a weak person i am...
About the free food/buffet thing, i dont know about free food. it all really depends on the food. Like free Chips Ahoys or Oreo or maybe hot pizza. Sometimes though, food thats given away for free doesnt look all that appitizing. Like crusty doughnuts.
And im not ususally a big fan of buffets. Some are good, but i've experience some that are gross where cold food left out for hours were the least of their problems.

Cracklin's yummy! The DMO's thought they were the best darn "chicharone" ever! Also, anyone eat the marrow out of roasted veal bones before you set them on the boil? Simple pleasures... mmm. Sometimes the stuff you're not supposed to serve is the best in the world, like the bones carved off a 109, or the edge of a potato gratin. Yum...

Crunchy Cheetos- if I buy a bag they're gone
Chocolate chips- who needs dough or cookies?!?
Orange mocha anything- I will never pass up an opportunity
Fresh bread, hot, with butter
Sesame soba noodles
My Mom's barbecued ribs (I see her once a year, and beg her to make them)
Rice
My blackberry pie (If I make this for dessert where I work, I always end up taking some home, which defeats the purpose!)

I love all you people!!! You make me feel like I'm not the only pig around!
If I could have only one fantasy it might be that I could eat anything and everything with no ill effects. I could eat as much in one sitting as only a 260 lb football player so that I wouldn't be too much of a glutton, but I would never get fat or clogged arteries or any other malady that comes from the gluttony I long for.
If we had our way we'd probably all look like "Fat Bastard" from Austin Powers  |

What a great topic! Here goes:
Rillettes du porc
Baguette (in France- must be the flour)
Schmaltz
Fricos (those little melted cheese thingies)
Bacon
Crispy poultry skin
Artichokes
Fresh figs (yes, you can eat too many)
Black licorice (the hard, chewy kind- not the soft plastic type)
Fritos
Hummus (Jane Brody's recipe, tweaked my way, served with sesame bagel chips)
Popcorn
Basically, if it's fatty, salty and carby, my name is on it.

OMG.........I looooove black licorice (the hard chewy kind) I just dont know where to find it in the US. 
As for the free food Chiff....since you put it that way...I love meeting food.  When I take an Admin Consultant position at a company, I usually find a place that I like and "suggest" to the boss that they'd be good for catering.

I am relatively addiction-free - had the misfortune though to marry a woman who agrees with Madame Lily Bollinger about her product: I drink it when I'm happy and when I'm sad.
Sometimes I drink it when I am alone.
When I have company I consider it obligatory.
I trifle with it if I'm not hungry and drink it when I am.
Otherwise I never touch it, unless I'm thirsty. |

Forgot a favorite: halva!
Keep that stuff away from me, because I cannot stop eating it- any flavor... doesn't matter.

| |  It is a good thing I do not live in the UK
I forgot some stuff. I was addicted to several foods while traveling in Scotland and England, foods that if I could get them regularly here, I would never stop eating them.
"Lemonade"- its a carbonated lemony drink, not pulpy pink nastiness
Hob Nobs- delicious
Turkish Delight- I know I could make this for myself. For my sake, please do not tell me how. It was in so many candy and tourist stores and I love the stuff.
