For me it's pickles and garlic stuffed olives(not at the same time).
My old favourite pickles were Mrs. Whyte's, but they are not available anymore. My new favourites are Bick's dill pickles with garlic.
Reminds me of this scene from the Simpsons. Just replace the doughnuts with pickles.

My weakness is thrift store classical music vinyl records.
Rarely in beat up condition.
Sound as good as when they were pressed 90+% of the time. Which is pretty darn good.
And usually cost $1 to $2.5 or $3 each.

Way less expensive than similar program material on CD's.
And even if you can find the stuff on YouTube, I so far refuse to pay to not see the ads.
And what classical you find on the radio, even in late night ad lite times is rather compressed when it is processed for broadcasting.
And LP's do not cost x per month and go up like serius sattelite radio or apple music.


My LP collection stacked on edge when you add it up is so far is approaching about 14' long.

I bet you have a killer system with which to spin them.

Just one system... nope.
4 turntables in service. I use them around the house depending on where my activity has me.

And that is with 7 different receivers.
Although one is dedicated to the hot tub, with no turn table.
Andf one covers the garage and patio speakers.

I find old receivers from the 70's and early 80's and restore them.
Find the music sounds better on them to me.

And some of my fave speakers I have recapped the cross overs, refoamed the drivers, and dry washed and then re-oiled the cabinets.
From what I have bought cheap at auctions or outright found on the curb.
Though my nicest ones are Infinitys with planar EMIT tweeters, and when those finally die, fix parts for them are Unobtainium.

Nice. There is a big market for vintage audio, and the prices have reflected that in the past couple of years. Finding someone good to do restoration work is important.

Mrs. Whyte’s were the best. Strub’s were a second choice, but now I can’t seem to find them in any of the supermarket chains.

Lately it's been pizza and wings. But with Hallowe'en around the corner, it's the mini Mars, Coffee Crisp, Kit Kat, M&M's (plain and peanut) and Snickers. There are a few other goodies but too lazy to list them all.

Chicken McNuggets, from McDonald's of course, but only with President's Choice Creamy Garlic Wing Sauce as a dip. (I don't like any other fast food chains' breaded chicken nuggets or strips.)

I scoop out a bit of the PC sauce from the bottle in my fridge, put it in a small transparent plastic cup with a lid, that I got in bulk from Amazon, and tell the cashier at McDonald's that I brought my own sauce.

The fact that it looks like I'm carrying around a sperm sample doesn't bother me a bit... :geek:

Mrs. Whyte's went bankrupt and are no longer made. Strub's are still around in some grocery stores.
Barberian's steakhouse(Toronto) does their pickling in house, and it's the closet I've tasted to Mrs. Whyte's. Here is a link from which you can order them.

Anything sweet. If I buy a box of cookies it's going to be gone within the hour of me getting home. Cheesecake is especially bad...I have, on several occasions, eaten the entire thing in one sitting...and rendered me a bloated gassy mess on the couch questioning the life choices that led me to that point. Peanut butter and Nutella sandwiches are also particularly deadly and don't even get me started on Reese's Puffs and chocolate milk

Omg!

In my late teens/early twenties I went through a sweets phase and I was addicted to Reese's Puffs and chocolate milk!

I ate that everyday!

Along with the giant Chewy Sweet Tarts and Reid's Dairy Birthday Cake Ice Cream.

I was a spinner then, go figure.
