Hey Frances!
Oh, absolutely. I think the best example I have is pie. When I was in seminary and super stressed out, there was a small grocery store near where student housing was, and they sold miniature pies. (Basically a fourth of a "regular" pie as one small pie.) And I absolutely fell in love . . . so I would have one every night before bed. I'd go to the store and basically buy them out of those mini-pies every week, haha . . . a leaning tower of pie making its way to the cash register! And . . . they weren't cheap, either. But they made me happy, so I got them.
And steak. I also went through a phase where I had to have steak every Sunday while watching my favorite American football team. ;) Steak and a massive baked potato with cheese. I actually once accidentally bought really expensive steak (because I couldn't read the price on the label, lol) and sort of got hooked on that during my steak-phase.
I don't think I have a food like that right now, but yes, it's happened to me before and I'm sure it'll happen again. (I guess another one is bacon? I mean, you can't ever go wrong with bacon!)
Out of curiosity, what flavor of Ben & Jerry's is it??
(Incidentally, Ben & Jerry's employees get something like 3 pints a day to take home . . . I'm jealous!)
