not sure if this is
getting a craving and not satiating it because 'i'll get to it later' and also 'oh no the place is closed because i wasted too much time' and it'll stick to me for weeks...
or
getting a shit ton of the same thing and eating it every day because it's my favorite thing right now
I personally think of them as being parts of a broader spectrum. I both have my one food I eat all the time and have for decades and then the things I go though short-term obsessions with
Yeah overall I agree, brain stuff ist complicated and all boxes we draw there are simplifications anyway.
Maybe I'm wrong but I thought of people with more stable and rigid habits/obsessive interests/hyperfixations to be on the more autistic side of the spectrum, and more random/oscillating patterns to be more on the ADHD side.
My hyperfocus period is usually between days and months, where I learn everything about something and then I don't care anymore.
Never had this with food or cooking though. Like, of course there are dishes I love to eat regularly, but there is no dish ever I'd like to eat every day for weeks. I know I'd hate it after week 1 already.
My one food I could pretty much eat for every meal and always be fine with it and it's rarely go a day without it xD I wouldn't just eat it for every meal because that would be terribly unhealthy.
Otoh, there's lots of things on the list of things I went through a period were I ate daily for a while (months or years .. although many of them I'm pretty sure I got tired of things and continued eating them as part of my habits for a while...)
Did not know this was an ADHD symptom.. My wife's been complaining about eating rice and pork for lunch for about a year now and I was..why? It's delicious! I've been diagnosed with ADHD recently so..makes sense.

then one day you take a bite and– sand, the whole meal tastes like sand, and you need to find another thing :(

Raisins.

Leaving the rotisserie chicken age right now. It has been a great follow-up to the age of the mushroom.
I think I am entering the Cordon Bleu era right now. Life is good sometimes.

I'm in the age of flatbreads. Last winter was the time of the spicy bean, I often wonder what will become of the next era.
Exciting times in the kitchen

"obsessed with" is an interesting way to spell "subsisting on", but sure 😅

Is that ADHD or autism at that point?

I also thought that sounds more autistic than ADHD to me. But apparently there's a lot of AuDHD folks so it's hard to draw the line I guess.

That's basically how I see it.
My one food I could pretty much eat for every meal and always be fine with it and it's rarely go a day without it xD I wouldn't just eat it for every meal because that would be terribly unhealthy.

For me it's not an obsession, it's just the inability to choose something else. If someone decides for me, I'd even be glad to cook the dish.

A coworker shared their special hummus recipe with me, so I've been having hummus for a week straight... they better not find out about this.
