This is a much-discussed aspect of food for me. In my opinion, texture can make-or-break a foodstuff. It can make the difference between me consuming it in haste, or finding it repulsive.
I have a list of foods I enjoy for their texture above any of it's other qualities:
- Haribo Gummi Bears
Gummi bears from Germany in the gold bag. I often claim Gummi Bears as my favorite candy...however, I absolutely hate Gummi Bears of any other brand. Haribo Gummi Bears are the firmest of all bears, in the gummy world.
- Tofu (firm/extra firm)
This is a natural choice. Tofu in all it's forms has great texture possibilities. It is also a Food of Many Textures- depending on your preparation. What makes Tofu so special is it's inability to have a BAD texture. My favorite is extra firm tofu, cubed.
- Snowcaps (candy)
Another candy makes it's way onto my list. This is almost embaressing. I love those little tiny dots, basically. I like them on cookies or ice cream, too... but I think they go best in their natural habitat: Chocolate. Alternate choice: Non-Pareils candies.
- Malt-O-Meal
This one is very sensitive to how it's prepared, so I hesitate to add it. But when cooked properly, the texture is FoodGasm.*
*FoodGasm: The taste equivalent of an orgasm. Like a party in your mouth, and everyone's invited! Sometimes food IS better than sex.

Also, Haribo gummy bears are kosher, which means they are the only bears I can eat!
