Foods stuffs you don't normally eat every day
 

Like the title, foods you don't eat on a normal bases. Like rich foods, foods to eat on a special occasion. Or to just spurge one day on it.

Just today, I just got me some See's Candy! :drool:
Chocolate butter cream, it's only one. It's that rich, if you eat too much of it, (like a whole box), you'd get sick. But it's so good, one's enough to send me to heaven! :angel:

So, are there any foods you eat on special occasions?
Have you had any See's candy? I recommend it it's good. *noms* =3

Never had any See's candy, but now and then I like to treat myself to chocolate covered cherries. ONLY Queen Anne though, those are the best cherries I've ever had.

I think everyone has special foods they eat during holidays life: >Lefse< and Eggnog. Those are around here during Christmas.

I don't know what See's Candy is (or are). ): It probably doesn't exist where I live.

Anyway, for foods only eaten on special occasions... Well, sometimes, my mother brings home a pack of these. I quite frankly ignore how they're called outside of my country, so forgive my ignorance. You can tell they have a creamy substance covered in a thin layer of chocolate. I'd quite like to know the english/american name for these, so please tell me if you know!

Also this. These babies are fresh from the north of Portugal, a specialty, they are. The cream is made with eggs, but it tastes ever so sweet, and it's covered in a thin layer of wafer. The cream is unbelievably sweet, but the wafer cuts off some of the sweetness, so there's none of that "it's too sweet" talk. :D I'm drooling already!

Oh, also Ferrero Rocher, they're so expensive we can only buy them around Christmas to offer the family.

Here in the UK we call them teacakes. I really like them, but I try to limit how much I buy them as I always eat the entire packet as much as I try not to!

As for me I really like lemon sponge cakes and chocolate pudding, I tend only to eat them when I'm feeling a bit down in the dumps. Rich foods cheer me up. I couldn't eat them on a regular basis though.

Those kind of look like Whippets ^-^


My favorite is having prime rib and lobster tails on Christmas Eve. I think that's the only time of the year when I get to have it. It's delicious to me.

I like Nutella, but I don't always buy it because I know I would eat the whole jar, and then I might get zits and/or cavities.

Another rare-to-indulge in treat is eggnog.

I adore rich deserts like Tiramisu or a really good Trifle. Well, I like rich foods in general, lol. Some more of my favorite European treats are Cherries Jubilee, Pfeffernüsse (A spiced cookie-like pastry), Prinzregententorte (a Bavarian sponge-cake), Ovos Moles (the seashell-shaped treats NeuzaKC mentioned), and Lokum (also known as Turkish Delight).

Most of these are expensive here in the US, if you can even find them. Above all though, I love Daifuku(which fortunately for me has become popular in the US and is fairly inexpensive), Taiyaki (a fish-shaped pastry filled with red bean paste), and traditional Mooncake with lotus-seed paste filling(Yum!). Just thinking about it makes me miss Japan.

I could go on to regular foods I love but rarely get, but I'd be here all night! I'll be done ranting for now. :lol:

Chocolate liquour cherries. Trader Joes makes theirs without dairy which I'm allergic to. They're only available during christmas time but thats probably a good thing since I could eat the whole box in one sitting...

KageShio: I didn't know ovos moles were available in the US. That's so awesome!

FuzzyLumpkin: and Deviant: thanks for the names! Whippets is fun to say. XD

I've never heard of See's Candy, but it sounds very good- even though I don't have much of a sweet tooth. :)
On the subject of candy, Clair adores maple sugar candy... :drool: It melts in your mouth and is heavenly perfect. I haven't had a piece of the this kind of candy in SO MANY YEARS! :gonk:

Clair really enjoys sushi, Thai food and Chinese food. She doesn't get to eat those foods very often. :(

And for special occasion foods, Clair's family makes a special breakfast every Christmas morning... she only gets it ONCE A YEAR! :gonk: But it's so goooood.

I normally only have it once in awhile, but its okay cause I eat it so quickly mom can't keep up. I love love Humus and Pickles.

If i had to pick a candy though, I would pick homemade saltwater taffy from Myrtle Beach. So amazing to watch them make it while you eat it.
