Wasabi Peas. Loads of them and good ones to give a real kick and head-clearing whooooosh.
I spent two years as a food technologist working for Mr Kipling. We made Mince Pie all year around and. for just about everyone.
I have seen way too many mince pies to ever really crave one
Nah, that's not possible! I was a NPD tech for 4 years, mainly working on cheeses but other dairy* stuff as well. I still love cheese, despite having to do shelf-life tasting and constantly smelling cheesy. (I'm not joking - I had Shropshire blue, some goats' cheese and cheesy bread for lunch.) I'm sure I'd still love mince pies as much as I do now if I'd worked in your job. 😀
I nominate cheese as Food of the Gods. Just not mild supermarket cheddar.
*I thought it funny when the poster above used the phrase 'Oh, the ironing.' to describe my lack of dairy knowledge. 😀
Chip Muffin and a can of Fizzy Vimto.
Confit du canard, or cassoulet
Marzipan (from Denmark or Lubeck)
Niederegger for the win.
Roast potatoes.
Hot & crunchy or cold the next day, I love them.
The Danish marzipan is slightly different to the German. I'll plough through kilos of the stuff if left unattended with it.
I can't believe everyone has missed the correct answer, which of course is: a hot beef stottie (with gravy).
VERY much food of the gods.
Welsh cakes!
Scotch pie on a buttered roll.
Cold sausages.

My Dad - post-war ration baby - told me that with his first ever pay packet he bought a pound of marzipan and ate it all in one go. Promptly threw up. Certainly didn't stop him from continuing.
Anyway my current favourite snack is natural yoghurt blended with crunchy peanut butter (no additives) and honey. At a ratio of 3:1:1
