Up in the lunchroom where I sometimes work, the multimedia folks were talking about whether or not there would be food when we are living on the other side of the veil. One argued that Jesus ate with the disciples after he was resurrected, which would indicate we could eat if we wanted to. I say, it ain't heaven if there ain't no food!
Here are some foods that I would require in my version of heaven:
cheesecake
dark chocolate
cream of wheat (yes, cream of wheat! Lay off, it's comfort food!)
real mashed potatoes
Cafe Rio's Tres Leches
Mountain Land Vanilla yogurt
pasta
What would you require?

Better. . . better get a bucket! I am very excited to try your suggestions. Maggie asked me the same thing about Heaven the other day whereupon I responded just like you did here. (She also asked about sleep--Ditto.)
I think heaven should have very large soft beds too.
And Wah-fer thin mints!
