Try to keep your food as simple as possible.

Mine would have to be either cookie dough or those fake strawberries they put on ice cream sundaes. There was a whole bag of them laying around my college's dining hall this morning for the waffles. I was tempted to steal it, but resisted :)

4. beer
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, beer.

If not a beverage, then Chicken Wings w/ Bleu Cheese Dressing

If they were both calorie & fat free, i might waste away!

25. Lara, check here for
the best salsa recipe I have ever tasted:

http://www.fsafood.com/fsacom/Recipes/Recipe+Index/A-Z+Listing/A/Avocado-Tomatillo+Sauce.htm

I use a serrano pepper instead of jalepeno and the cumin is optional. I may never eat red salsa again!

7. Butter
Think of the versatility
Splashed on veggies
Sauteed fruit like apples and peaches
Spread on breads
Baked in cookies and cakes for that distinctive flavor that margarine or veggie shortening can't quite cut

10. I second that!
Coffee ice cream with good, thick, homemade caramel. I could (alsmost) live on that.

20. Shrimp Spring Rolls
There's a place around the corner that does them wrapped in prawn cracker materials. I could eat my weight in them if they were fat and calorie free.

Can I have sugar and caffeine free as well?

In that case, I'd go for Chai Lattes. I'd drink nothing else except they make me pretty jittery and the sugar sets my allergies off.

21. Coca-Cola
And I don't mean Diet Coke either. I want all the taste with none of the calories, something which no diet soda has yet to deliver.

Most reduced calorie or fat free dairy tastes awful.
