Do you remember when young and you were taken to a family gathering and Mom gave you a limit as to how much of a certain food you could initially take? "Be polite so everyone can have some. Let everyone get a chance at having some," Mom said. Of course there never was that second chance with deviled eggs in my family.

Even today, I feel deprived of being able to have my fill of them. Sure, I could buy several dozen of eggs, boil them and prepare the filling and make the deviled eggs. Of course, this is why there is almost always a shortage at holidays because it takes a little preparation, which people don't want to do.

How about you guys? Is there any special food that you would "pig out" on if you could, but never get the chance? For @Merlin it might be Rocky Mountain Oysters...

Many years back I went to a friend's house for a weekend work BBQ and he was bragging about how many wings he had bought and prepared. Kept telling me to eat my fill so I sat down at the table and went to town. Little while later some folks were showing up a bit late but the wings were gone. I almost felt bad, but them wings were good boy.

Wings are definitely a challenge with my family. Everyone eats the flats and leaves the drums.
Of course its no matter to me so I can take a plate full of drums and chow down guilt free.
Steamed clams can also prove tricky, the tiny ones are gone in an instant

For me, it was always pigs in blankets at Christmas. I would have scoffed The whole lot if it were up to me.

Another food that I never seem to get enough of is lobster. On my 18th birthday I was treated to the largest lobster tail I have ever seen, which was 20 oz. I loved it so much that I couldn't eat it all. Ever since I have been disappointed by pigmy lobster tails at Red Lobster and Sizzler, for way too much money. Any chain restaurant that you all know that offers an all you can eat lobster buffet? (Prolly only in Maine!)

Nope - never been to one

And probably have to go to Canada or Maine to get lobster at a decent price

I had to laugh when two friends of mine went up to Maine and one of them said no way to Lobster.

My other friend was really upset about that.

I would have dropped that "friend" off at Taco Bell while I went and at lobster tails!

I like deviled eggs. But for now they won't be on the menu. I ain't paying over 10 bucks a dozen for eggs.

Fucking latkes for Hanukkah. Everyone in my family knows I could eat them out of house and home when it comes to those delicious, fried-in-oil potato pancakes. So, they limit me, even when they make enough for three families.

Deviled eggs - YEP

Collard greens - YEPPPPPP


And a shout out to my Grandmother Sara who is looking down on me now laughing. Hush puppies were totally unsafe around her. Not only would she eat em all... it was the way she would eat them that added terror and confusion to others and the un-eaten hush puppies...

She would nibble off the entire crust part of the hush puppy and leave the round inside part on her plate to be thrown away later. They looked like a rat had perfectly eaten the crust off.

Oh... we had those here too.

Hush puppies is an old time Southern food. They started out from old timers throwing leftover fish batter (when all the fish frying was finished) into the oil... then throwing it over to the yard dogs who had been hoping for some fish scraps. They would hush right up after getting some of those tossed their way. Soon... those old timers started eating it themselves and even perfected the ingredients. They are meant to be eaten with seafood. They're kinda like little corn bread balls that have been fried until a crunchy brown coating cover the soft bread like inside.

I don’t know the family secret. All I know is that my grandmother made latkes that call to the deepest part of my soul - and that the tradition has been passed down to my youngest sister; she makes the latkes at Hanukkah now.

It’s like a fucking drug, latkes. I eat them and can’t get enough.

Potatoes, Eggs, onions, carrots, and heck, I even add cabbage once in a while. Salt, pepper, and herbs with vegetable oil.

My wife is Jewish and introduced me to these treats soon after we met. They are latkes... but we also call them potato pancakes.

My favorite part of eating them is that most folks dip them in apple sauce and sour cream. I prefer just the sour cream... and my wife prefers the apple sauce.

Our favorite Jewish Deli/Restaurant Too Jay's makes some killer latkes. They make em full size - kinda pancake size, and minis - about the size of a silver dollar.

They should be illegal.
