Chocolate :D Luckily I am active and have a fast metabolism so I'm not large and I don't binge on chocs, but I do love'em. Especially when they are just at the point of almost beginning to melt.
Another one for me would have to be the french fries from some of our local (back home) baseball complexes. Grew up playing ball, and we even played our high school ball at these complexes. I worked there over the summer helping little kids baseball camps as well. I can never put my finger on why exactly, but they are the best french fries in the world. My girl friend used to work there as well, and I guess they sell more french fries than all of their other items combined (except drinks). Pretty much every person in the huge complex is eating fries at some point.
Now when I go back to help in the camps over summer or to help my girlfriend's dad coach his little kids team, I ALWAYS get those fires. The taste reminds me of a sunny summer afternoon, home, and baseball.
Complex Carbohydrates with plenty of fiber that slows down digestion enough so there isn't an energy crash as with other carbs. Like Fresh Pineapple :)
Homemade lasagna. It's a bit of a pain to make but the result is worth it, and it's almost better reheated the next day. Each bite is glorious. Your teeth tear through the soft, nutty pasta and blend together the layers of sauce, meat, and cottage cheese. Green peppers meld too, and mushrooms mix with beef as you chew, creating a magnificent mouthful of food. There's a hint of garlic, a touch of oregano and a pervasive yet subdued flavour of parmesan cheese, and then you swallow, scoop up another morsel, and start the experience all over again.
I'm not a big one for eating food while upset if that's what you mean. The most moreish food for me has to be pretzels. Not the proper dough ones, the small kind. As the polish brand I sometimes get calls them, they are a "Legendarny Smak"

Wow :o! Sounds delicious!
It made me wish I had some, unfortunately. I guess leftover spaghetti will have to do.
Ramen personaly, but not just any kind of ramen. it can't be the cheap superstore or safeway crap...gotta be the expencive ramen thats like a doller per pack and gotta be the original flavor

Instant noodles are not ramen :x A common misconception in west. What constitutes real ramen? I've had it at a few restaurants here and it always seems to resemble the instant stuff (more or less). Do they use fresh noodles or something?

theyre both ramen, its just one is dehydrated, the other fresh.
Its tough to beat a big bowl of fresh ramen, though, complete with a few slices of fishcake and some meatballs made out of god knows what lol. Its soooo good! I love the big spoon you get; makes slurping the broth a joy. Not to mention the small plate of fixings you get to put in.
It is something my dad makes whenever he feels like wasting a day cooking it or when alot of people are coming over, a la the superbowl. It is a rice and chicken mix that is breaded and seasoned just perfect. It is one of my favorite foods, which is saying something, but it is without a doubt the best smelling food I have ever smelled. It is hilarious, because my brothers and our friends will smell it and everyone will go nuts. It is something of a legend in our family and amongst our friends. My roommates and I got the recipe from him and tried to recreat it and it was respectable. Definitely not the real thing, but you could still taste pieces of glory. :)

Fair enough. I'd imagine they use the same dehydrated stuff in the restaurants here, since it would be too much work to keep fresh on hand. Similar to making homemade pasta versus dried stuff. I should try making ramen myself - it's not much different than spaghetti, I just have to use regular flour instead of durum.
