Since college my 4 major food groups were Beer, Caffeine, Cheez-its, vegetables. I've since changed that to Beer, Caffeine, Vegetables, Everything else.

posted by eekacat 16 April | 14:13

Spicy
Fatty
Crunchy/Light/Refreshing
Filling

I think those are the major four cravings I get, and I'm finding it hard to imagine any food that doesn't fit into at least one of the four.
