Neither.... my primary food craving is almost always for one of my favorite dishes at a sit-down Indian restaurant located about 2 hours (and across a mountain pass) from where I live. Short of giving in to my desire for that food with complex multi-layered flavors so delicious it should be considered an art form, I usually cook unless I don't have the time or energy... and I no longer have many excuses to not cook since I was gifted with an Instant Pot at Christmas. :)

I prefer to eat home cooked meals because it's healthier but sometimes i can't convince my brain not to think of pizza, burgers and french fries.

I really enjoy cooking but I do not know many recipes. Otherwise, nothing is sweeter than what you cook personally.

Home cooked meal but having fast food once a while isn't bad.

I do crave fried food specifically sometimes but as a college student with limited home cooked meals they are a million times more special now.

I hardly ever crave fast food, unless I haven't eaten in ages. But now that I don't have any interesting ingredients in my kitchen, I don't know what I can crave for. I would say that usually the answer is home cooked meals.

I love healthy food and I love cooking so I chose to eat at home where it is safe and healthy.

Home cooked meals is my thing. I can mix up the ingredients I want.

I'm a HUGE fan of pizza whether it's homemade or from a fast food restaurant. But when it comes to eating regularly, I crave home-cooked meals over fast food. I'm into culinary arts and home cooked meals have layers of flavor you can play with. I've tried this at home many times. Mom and I cook pretty well, but we can make a totally different meal with the same ingredients each. That's the magic homemade goods have. Many times it's not just the flavor but how good the food smells and how sometimes those aromas can hold plenty of memories.

Home cooked meals are the best! Though fast food is great for comfort food.

Using Pinterest, getting cookbooks or watching cooking shows are good ways to get recipes and learn easy ways to prepare food.
