overdose of delicious!
Yesterday in culinary school we had cheese lecture. This involved one hour and 20 cheeses that we tasted and tested and mulled over. I am a huge cheese fan, but I have to admit that by the end, I wanted to die. Yes, that's right. After consuming the equivalent of a $40 cheese platter by myself, I wasn't even enjoying it anymore.
Have you ever OD'd on something you thought you could eat a ton of?

Pickled ginger. I used to love the stuff with sushi but one time I ate so much, I can't go near it anymore.

Fried clams in Maine 2 months ago.

Spinach dip. I made it for a family post Christmas get together, but due to lake effect snow (I-81 lake effect snow belt between Canton, NY and Syracuse), our families couldn't make it down. I had rye bread sandwiches filled with the stuff. Groan...

I just ate my second bowl of chocolate pudding of the day out of the 6 batch of chocolate pudding in the last month and the second one of the day I think I'm going to be sick.

This happens everytime I go to an All You Can Eat sushi place, then the next day (or that evening if i had it for lunch) I'm ready to go back. Sad? Maybe.

@therealchiffonade- I thought I was the only one who eats the pickled ginger by the pile! I love it so much, I'd rather eat it than the sushi. I get strange looks from the sushi chefs, so now I just buy it at the market and indulge in my guilty pleasure at home.

i'm one of the people who went to that dessert party sponsored by the food network a few weeks ago. i was determined to eat everything in sight, but i was amazed at how quickly i topped out! it was fun, though.

Puff pastry. It seems every place I go they have puff pastry in one form or another. When I see it skip it.
I once helped make 300 croissant sandwiches for a funeral luncheon. For a decade the smell of a buttery croissant made me gag.

Buffalo wings and not at a good time seeing as how my beloved PATS play the Bills this week. Any ideas for a Buffalo tail gate that doesnt include wings?
nhfoodie at 8:52AM on 11/07/08
Maybe some kind of Chili (if you have a way of keeping it hot) with different toppings, breadbowls if you can find them. I guess I'm supposed to be a Buffalo fan because it's where I live but I don't get excited because they always loose. The first few games were just luck or something.
I did see the PATS in the Superbowl in New Orleans by winning a recipe contest my sister & I had a great time.

@ NHFOODIE hello fellow New Hampshireite I would suggest some ribs, chicken and sausage gumbo (seafood if you are over in Portsmouth), or Brunswick stew, BBQ beans, vinegar slaw, maque choux, and dirty rice... do some Turkey Wings with hot sauce just because you're bigger and badder than the bills.(this coming from a die hard steeler fan) If you have any leftovers save them for me as I'll be up to manch-vegas on Monday and Portsmouth on Tues. night.

To answer the original post... I got into Charleston WV at 1 am after being in airports all day with delays and such. I hadn't eaten anything all day and was starving, plus all the restaurants were closed. The hotel had a suite shop with food and drinks to buy but the only food items left were candy bars and hot pockets.... I had 5 hot pockets and haven't had one since.

Oh Crap, I guess next time I should read the post, I Missed the word "Delicious"..... sorry!
Pavlov at 11:05AM on 11/07/08
One summer when I was little I ate waaaaay too many microwaved frozen burritos, and I have not been able to stomach one since. Maybe not such a bad thing.

Spinach dip.
I forgot all about this! Thanks for the reminder. A friend prepared the cold spinach dip (some kind of soup mix and water chestnuts IIRC) that gets spooned into a hollowed-out "football" bread. I had some. I got so violently ill the next day which probably had nothing to do with the dip but that didn't stop me from "re-experiencing" it as it exited through the door where it entered. I never touched it again.

I had the very same experience as you at my culinary class about a month ago. Too much cheese is really heavy on the tummy!

This has happened to me on numerous occasions with delicious, ripe fruit in the summer--I keep eating it because I'm hungry and thirsty at the same time and I know that the season for it is brief. But then, I suffer the bloated consequences....

cookie dough/cake or brownie batter.
it's a wonder i haven't caught salmonella or a nasty case of food poisoning considering the cumulative amount of raw egg i've eaten in dough form! i always feel full and generally disgusted by the time the cookies or cake is done!
self control, meet megan. ;)

Ice cream. All the time.
Other things too, but ice cream is the only thing that comes to mind.

nutella. At a friend's house a couple years ago I ate so much that I haven't touched the stuff since. It used to be SO tempting, but now I can't even look at it.
teenagefoodie at 10:46PM on 11/07/08
brownie batter and frosting. fried calamari with cajun spice and pepper rings with sour cream. oh my .
dearrie at 1:47PM on 11/08/08
@Heart That's like me and kiwis! There was a span of 4 days this summer when I ate 16 of them! That was.... a bad idea.

Watermelon--every summer at least once.

Steamed clams. My friend who loves them as much as I do cancelled at the last minute. They don't keep, so.......somebody had to eat them all, right? Most of them anyway. I'm really glad I forget how many were in the net bag, but way too many for one person. I did make clam chowder too, but I haven't bought the little necks since. I'm getting a craving now. I guess 2 years is a long enough break, but now I'll have to wait until next summer.

Pistachios, cashews, macadamions and almonds
