Crappy food you like anyway...

[malthaussen]

... and don't try to talk me out of it.

I'll start:

Chef Boyardee Spaghetti
Kraft Mac and Cheese
Pop Tarts

Fess up, pilgrims, what horrible, unhealthy, and yummy food do you love, and are not one bit "guilty" about it?

-- Mal

[dewsgirl]

1. French onion Sun chips and Kona Blend Monsters.

[Vinnie From Indy]

38. Dittos on the Sun Chips

Always mad when they are out or don't stock.

Cheers!

[dewsgirl]

46. They have them at Publix if you have one near you, Wal-Mart and Wal-Mart neighborhood marketplace

Have them sometimes. I have a hard time finding them also, especially the French Onion flavor.

[mr_lebowski]

47. For me its 1)plain ones 2) garden salsa 3)cheddar 4) french onion ...

Sun Chips aren't TOO junky afa 'chips' go. Also some of the garden harvest line, I think it's called ... they're like pea-based instead of corn ... a couple of those aren't bad but they have HEAVY flavorings on them to make 'em taste any good. They seem healthier though.

Overall I'm more of a plain chips person most of the time ... plain chips, perhaps with dips (or nacho cheese lol) is preferred over the powdered seasonings on the chips. Once in a great while I'll crave Spicy Nacho Doritos in small quantities (hopefully) or good Kettle Cooked Potato Chips like Toms or Cape Cod with Barbeque seasoning.

[Angry Dragon]

2. CHOCOLATE

[jodymarie aimee]

3. You DO know where you are, right?

we call this Democratic Underground....our beloved country is being demolished.

[Angry Dragon]

4. and this is the Lounge..........a place to step back

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

31. This is the Lounge, where we come for relief.

[ploppy]

55. Not just the grammar police.

Lighten up.

[MFM008]

81. Sometime you need a break

Take one.

[Squinch]

108. You DO know where you are, right? We call this the lounge. And sometimes

there is humor here, even if that offends you.

[fleur-de-lisa]

5. B A C O N !!!

[mr_lebowski]

48. The magic pixie dust of the food groups!

Ba-da-bing ...

[AJT]

6. Jelly Belly Sours.....

[PennyK]

21. Ohhh yes

I have been known to eat so many that I get acid indigestion...and to come back the next day for more!

[brush]

143. Gummy bears. Yum!

[Freddie]

7. Tater Tots

The other night I had a carb craving and made myself half a bag of them, with plenty of salt and ketchup. But it was healthy, baked not fried.

[trixie2]

132. I never liked tater tots but then I tried veggie tots by Green Giant and they are delicious.

I am making no judgements just like the larger and puffier cauliflower.

[cannabis_flower]

203. Even worse..

Chili cheese tator tots. Cheesecake. Jalapeno poppers.

[PoorMonger]

8. Frozen or delivery pizza

To be fair pizza is my favorite food so even when it’s bad I still like it.

[malthaussen]

14. Did somebody say pizza?

“Pavlov’s Dog Needs Only One Iteration”


“I hate pizza,” I said, and she smiled
as she held up a wedge to my mouth.
A bite, the cheese and sauce blending
on my tongue; crunch of crust as I chew, then swallow.

A few bites more, and then with mischief in her eyes
she presses her lips to my startled mouth.
Quick flicker of tongue, as she steals a crumb,
a taste cooler than any liquid to wash down
the commingled flavors.

God, I love pizza.

-- Mal

[Glamrock]

133. Yep

Pizza's like sex. Even if it's bad it's still pretty good.

[lunasun]

9. French fries

But fresh cut as if that makes it healthier not
But better tasting
Of course with salt and ketchup
Why am I eating rice noodle curry right now? I could be having a big bag of greasy fries......yum
Although the green curry has a good kick ....

[Ilsa]

104. Occasionally a little malt vinegar to dip into

For a change of pace.

[Farmer-Rick]

10. Butterscotch krimpets

But I'm on a low carb diet and haven't had one in 5 years. If I lose 25 lbs (only have 8 to go) , I'm ordering a box for a reward.

[unblock]

35. yes!!!

even when i've lived in places that have them in local shops, still seems nobody i know has ever actually heard of them.

[Farmer-Rick]

58. I know, I introduced my better half to them.

She loves them and avoids them too.

[unblock]

63. They remind me of my grandparents

We didn’t have them growing up in Ohio but we got them when we visited them in Lancaster, pa.

[malthaussen]

89. One of my unexpected pleasures moving to Kentucky...

... from Philadelphia was to discover that Tastykakes are distributed here. Maybe it's a Wal-Mart thing, dunno. My late mother would mainline Krimpets if they let her.

-- Mal

[sprinkleeninow]

107. Those by 'TasteeKake' (sp.), yes? I loved them very much back in the day.

[Ken Burch]

144. I'm going to have to try them.

n/t.

[Ken Burch]

147. Are those a regional thing?

I've lived in the Northwest and in Southeast Alaska...hadn't seen those in stores here. Damn, I want one.

[Freddie]

148. Yes, from Philly

Although they are getting wider distribution they are not national.
Tastykakes are still WAY better than Hostess or Little Debbie - they use real ingredients (chocolate, butter etc) but some of us locals who grew up on them say the quality has gone downhill a bit since they were bought out. The icing on the krimpets and cupcakes used to be soft and creamy and is now hard and crumbly. My favorite Chocolate Kreamies are still just as wonderful.

[FM123]

11. Gummy Bears

[Binkie The Clown]

12. Before I went vegan I'd die for a fried Spam and Velveeta sandwich.

I still sigh wistfully when walking past Spam and Velveeta in the grocery store. (Damn, but I'm virtuous!)

[yallerdawg]

32. The Spam and Velveeta aisle?

You have GOT to be in Hawaii!

[mitch96]

41. Sounds disgusting....

But I'll give it a try.. .I thought spam sushi would be weird... yes weird but curiously good.
m

[Binkie The Clown]

60. It's a classic

[Freethinker65]

13. Cheetos......the cheese that goes crunch (NOT the current POTUS)

[beveeheart]

19. Definitely the crunchy kind, not the baked ones.

[Squinch]

109. OK, but Cheese Doodles are even more craptastic. And they have "Doodles" in their name.

[get the red out]

15. Ramen noodles!!!

Especially the kind in the cup that you just add boiling water to. OMG YUM!

[The Polack MSgt]

16. Pork Rinds and tabasco

and a pitcher of cheap-ass American Lager (Stag at home, PBR if on the road, IC if I'm back in the hills where I grew up)

NOT EVEN ASHAMED

[mr_lebowski]

49. Pork Rinds are actually surprisingly un-bad ... low carb, low cal, high protein, reasonable fat ...

Better for ya than probably any other 'chip' type of snack.

[denbot]

124. IC?

Me not know IC..

[The Polack MSgt]

199. Iron City Beer

Or in the vernacular - Ahrn Siddy

[denbot]

206. Thanks

Next time I’m in that region, I’ll buy a can and try it out.

[Still Blue in PDX]

163. IC Iron City? nt

[The Polack MSgt]

200. yep

[sprinkleeninow]

172. My 'baba' made jellied pigs' feet (pigs' feet in aspic).

I licked my chops knowing we'd get some when it was set and chilled. She set it to cool in our adjoining hallway (three family house). I looked at it most lovingly.

"You had to be there!" It's a Slovak thang.

[dhol82]

178. I make my own from time to time

True comfort food.
With horseradish.

[sprinkleeninow]

182. I miss these foods.

I can make kolach, paska and easy dishes, but need a sous chef for pierog and pagac.

[dhol82]

186. Pierogies are easy

You just need time and effort.
When I get a craving I will make meat and/or sauerkraut ones as the spirit moves me. Still do the meat ones with left over boiled beef that I grind myself.

What is pagac?
I am Ukrainian and do not know what this is.

[sprinkleeninow]

190. The time and effort part is what I'm in short supply of! 😃

Pagac (pagaci) like a Slavic 'pizza'. Dough filled with potato or cabbage filling. Baked, then brushed with browned butter. I may have had some with prunes (leqvar or prune butter). That one is tricky.

I'm Slav heritage. Ancestors from Carpathian Mountain area who came to U.S. very early 1900's.

[The Polack MSgt]

201. I like those way better than the pigs feet and daikon my wife makes

She has to put the crock pot in the garage because it smells so strong.

Pigs feet and Daikon with daikon (giant radish) and leeks wit soy sauce and sochu.

Tastes ok, smells awful

[sprinkleeninow]

207. Baba made an aspic cooking down the porkers only adding carrots

perhaps for color, some vinegar, salt & pepper. That's it. Sucking on them bones. Weee doggie!

Husband makes severe nose wrinkle when I recall 'Studenina' lovingly. His dad made home made pickled herring every Christmas for their groaning board Smorgasbord. Husband would run away from me when I dove in. I told him I cleaned my face like a cat does after eating! He don't know what good is. 😋

[sprinkleeninow]

174. PBR

Pabst Blue Ribbon?

I do Rolling Rock when I feel like one.

[The Polack MSgt]

204. really, any American lager on tap.

As long as it ain't Coors light or Bud Light or... well any light beer really.

I remember when Rolling Rock was a local cheap beer in western PA, it's sold as a premium here on the prairie.

But I drink a local cheap lager now, Stag - It reminds me of Stony's beer. Yeah I'm old. Stony's went bankrupt 30+ years ago

[sprinkleeninow]

208. Way back in the day, Pabst and Schlitz were the brewskis my family drank.

[Docreed2003]

17. Totinos pizza rolls

Tater tots, Sour cream and Onion chips, and Krystal’s, kinda like a southern White Castle, and Waffle House Chili. I rarely eat any of them but I do like to have them every now and then.

[PJMcK]

86. LOVE THESE!!!

Along with rippled potato chips, pizza rolls are my only "junk foods." I love 'em!

My fiancee is a dancer/gymnast and eats exceptionally well so I have to plan my binges carefully. Once, she came home earlier than expected and I had a plate of Tostinos pepperoni pizza rolls in front of me. Unbelievably, she grabbed one and bit into it before I could warn her that they were still really hot. The sauce dripped out of the remnant in her hand and spilled onto her chest burning her.

Several years later, she still has the scar. I refer to it as "My Brand."

Incidentally, I'm no longer allowed to bring them into our home. Fortunately, I have a microwave oven in my office.

[Docreed2003]

96. Lol...that is an amazing story

Don’t eat pizza rolls right out of the oven! It even says so on the box, lol! Thankfully, I’ve been able to suppress most of those urges, although I endulge from time to time.

[PJMcK]

98. Betcha can't wait ta eat 'em!!!

[Docreed2003]

99. Nope!!! ;-)

[Champion Jack]

18. Cherry coke, occasionally

[Generic Brad]

20. Hormel Chili

It’s so high in sodium that I know I could risk a heart attack eating it with mounds of shredded cheese. If I ever have to choose a final meal, it would be that.

[malthaussen]

111. With a couple of sunny-side eggs on top...

... if I'm gonna die, might as well clog the ol' arteries while I'm at it.

-- Mal

[PufPuf23]

125. Dennison hot chili

My quick comfort food topped with Parmesan.

[Generic Brad]

150. I love that too!

When I lived in California round 30 years ago I couldn't find Hormel's Chili anywhere. I quickly discovered that Denison's was the next best thing. The seasoning was different than Hormel's, but I thought that was delicious too.

[PufPuf23]

160. I cook chili in crock pot, good ingredients

But add a can of Dennison as a secret ingredient (even if venison or elk chili, usually use premium low fat hamburger but do add olive oil).

[GeorgeHayduke]

22. I can't believe this hasn't been said yet.

Corn dogs from a gas station hot case.

Only on the road though.

[PennyK]

23. Triskits!

We pretend they're healthy because they're made of whole grain lol.
The salt and the crunch are to die for!

[mr_lebowski]

50. I like 'em too ... the plain kind is my favorite ... well, thin slice of some good cheese on top ...

... usually doesn't hurt but I'll rock 'em plain.

At least they're simple ... whole wheat, oil, salt ... not too bad.

Another fave along those lines are 'Stoned Wheat Thins' from Red Oval Farms (imported from Canada) ... comes in sky blue and red printed, rustic looking box? Just had about 10 of 'em 20 mins ago. So simple and crunchy and tasty. Also really good with a bit of cheese.

[smirkymonkey]

67. I love Stoned Wheat Thins from Red Oval Farms. My big snacking weakness is cheese and crackers or

cheese and good crusty bread.

[mr_lebowski]

71. Thought I'z the only one ... never see 'em advertised, you have to know exactly where they are ...

At the grocery store, they'll have like maybe 10 boxes of regular and low-sodium, low on the shelves ... and they're not that cheap ...

They are a really nice, simple, wholesome (seeming) cracker that's good enough to eat alone in a pinch, but perfect for topping with some good cheese.

Speaking of good crusty bread ... man I miss real SF Sourdough ... just can't get it in AZ. Once it's been in plastic ... it's ruined. And nobody here seems to really know how to make it or if they do I dunno where they are.

[smirkymonkey]

73. I know, they are hard to find. I went to school near the Canadian border so that's where I first

discovered them. You can find good crusty bread in some of the specialty markets or Whole Foods here, but the best place to get it is Eataly over in the Prudential Center. That is the real thing! So delicious! That is one thing I miss about NYC, there were great artisan bread bakers all over the city so it was easy to find good bread. You still kind of have to search for it here and even WF doesn't have much of a variety. I love having kind of a smorgasbord/antipasto/charcuterie board w/ cheeses, meats, olives, vegetables, spreads, fruit, etc. I could have that for dinner almost every night. The bread is key though!

[malthaussen]

88. Used to munch SWT, too...

... not sure who the manufacturer was, but I suspect Nabisco.

Good, but Triscuits are bigger and have more salt.

-- Mal

[mr_lebowski]

100. You're thinking of 'Wheat Thins' ... a totally different thing than 'Stoned Wheat Thins'

From Red Oval Farms.

SWT crackers are bigger than Triscuits in fact ...

[dhol82]

180. I love the new ones with olive oil and cracked black pepper

Mmmmmmmm!

[kacekwl]

185. Love the mini ones.

So easy to pop in your mouth next thing I know the box is empty.

[Glorfindel]

24. Cheap vanilla-cream cookies, Vienna Sausage, sardines

pork rinds, crunchy Cheetos (or a store brand, I'm not picky), Jimmy Dean frozen sausage and biscuits, potted meat and saltine crackers, and innumerable other horrors. Oh, and my very favorite: Bacon-wrapped hot dogs cooked in the oven. YUM!

[marigold20]

57. Potted meat!!

I didn't know potted meat was still "made." I agree on the Cheetos and sausage and biscuits but I have to draw the line at potted meat.

I also like Hostess Snowballs and powdered mini-donettes. Yum!

[The Polack MSgt]

92. Jimmy Dean Microwave sausage biscuits - YEAAAHH BUDDY

I can't have those in the house - Just cannot stop myself from gorging on them.

Try heating them half way, then putting a slice of cheddar and a squirt of Siracha hot sauce then finish heating 'em up.

I'm so hungry...

[Glorfindel]

94. Oh, man...I'm on my way to buy some!

I hadn't thought of adding cheese and Siracha, but I will now.

[TlalocW]

25. Cheap frozen pizza

Totino's I think.

TlalocW

[Mr.Bill]

198. I love those, too.

I add a little extra cheese and other fresh toppings like bell pepper or chopped black olives. Cook them at 500 degrees placed right on the rack of the oven. Makes a nice crispy crust that way.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. I like crappy food so much that I'm amazed I'm still alive

after all these years.

Kraft Mac and Cheese (a shade of orange unknown to nature, but I love it).
Pop Tarts
Pringle's potato chips
Cheetos
Chip dip made with Velveeta and bottled salsa
Circus peanuts
Oreos
Popsicles

[MontanaMama]

129. Ditto on the

Kraft Mac and Cheese...there’s something about it! Cheetos - the puffy ones not the crunchy. Love their texture but hate how they stick in my teeth. Haribo gummy bears....they HAVE to be that brand. Santa brings me a bag for my stocking every year. Lunazul tequila.....straight up.

[Sophiegirl]

140. It has to be Rotel

To make the correct Velvetta/salsa dip!!

[Dream Girl]

146. Circus peanuts! I thought I was the only one.

[First Speaker]

27. Peanut Butter cups...

...heaven in a bite...

[fierywoman]

64. Yup, me too.

[The Polack MSgt]

93. I'm from coal country southwest of Pittsburgh, we had the best candy ever made - Sarris Chocolates

Seriously, my wife and I give Sarris candy to just about every one come Christmas time. It's that good

They invented the chocolate covered pretzel and they make these bad boys - Peanut butter melt aways

https://www.sarriscandies.com/ViewDetails.aspx?id=0000025

Also available in pie form:

https://www.sarriscandies.com/ViewDetails.aspx?id=0006066

Just looking up that link made me want to order about $50 worth of candy...

[Freedomofspeech]

155. We love Sarris, too.

Unfortunately we stopped in the Canonsburg shop and they were playing Fox News. Made the candy a little less sweet but I love their Peanut butter meltaways!

[iscooterliberally]

28. Those little debby swiss rolls that my wife gets.

I haven't had one in months though. I have to save room for more beer!

[LNM]

29. A Spam sandwich on crappy white bread.

Only on vacation though cause I do feel guilty about it.

[dhol82]

181. Hell, I grew up on spam

Every once in a while I still get some for old times sake.

[muntrv]

30. Hershey's and Reese's.

[democratisphere]

33. Chips Ahoy!

OMG! We're ALL gonna die from eating this sh't!

[LisaM]

34. Velveeta and CheezIts.

Yummmm.

[yallerdawg]

36. Little Debbie's "Honey Buns."

Don't tell my cardiologist - he wants me to live forever - or bill forever, as it may be.

[TeapotInATempest]

37. Doritos, pizza, Velveeta.

Not all at the same time, of course, but I bet it would be amazing.

[Botany]

39. Poutine

[mitch96]

42. I've never had good poutine here in So Fla...

Lots of French Canadian's down here so I thought I could sample some Fr Canadian comfort food.. No joy.. No squeeky cheese curds, gravy just so-so.
I guess I'll have to go to Montreal and check it out...
m

[Botany]

43. Maybe you should open your own poutine restaurant or food truck ......

..... have it an area where you will have hung over people in the AM or @ night
after people go out to the bars.

In Columbus, OH I have a place about 1/2 a mile from that has decent poutine.

[mitch96]

45. Je ne parle pas franais et ne peux pas cuisiner

This bohunk would not cut it on the poutine scene... Then again I can whip up a mean gravy and if I found some REAL cheese curds... Micky "D's" french fries are good... Hummmmmm
m

[applegrove]

131. Kentucky fried chicken makes a good poutine in canada. All you need

are the cheese curds and kfc gravy and large fries and you could make it yourself. A small serving is more than 1000 calories though.

[mitch96]

165. "All you need are cheese curds"

Thats the problem down here... getting fresh cheese curds.. Florida is not noted for it's fine cheese No squeak to be had..
m

[smirkymonkey]

68. Yes! I'm surprised not to see it on more menus here in the states.

It's such great comfort food! I actually kind of just like the fries and gravy without the cheese better.

[MLAA]

40. Peanut butter on white bread, elbow macaroni with just a dash of margarine and ketchup

[bottomofthehill]

134. I see your peanut butter and white bread and raise you

Nutella and Fluff on white bread. The ultimate fluffer-nutter

[MLAA]

193. Whoa! Something to look forward to 🙂

[ailsagirl]

44. potato chips and french fries

hardly ever eat FF, but PC-- far too often

And once in a blue moon, Italian bread & butter

[underpants]

51. Canned pressurized cheese

[dawg day]

52. DQ Dilly bars...

[nocoincidences]

53. cheddar cheese popcorn.

[brokephibroke]

54. Frozen White Castles

And ditto on the Chef Boyardee

[FuzzyRabbit]

56. Chocolate ice cream

[cannabis_flower]

205. Krogers has a flavor of ice cream called..

Death by Chocolate. I usually buy the light version but I'm sure it's still bad. Chocolate with chocolate brownie pieces, chocolate ribbon and walnuts.

[AncientGeezer]

59. Here in upstate NY...Kettle Kurls...a version of cheese puffs

Air filled, cheese substitute. snacking version of meth...
And any boxed Mac&Cheese...even Price Chopper's version.

[Bradshaw3]

61. Those puffed out popcorn thingies

Forgot what they are called but know they are very salty with very dubious nutritional value.

They sort of melt in your mouth so you get that melty hydrogenated whatever taste soaking into your taste buds - who then say 'what the fuck?'

[mr_lebowski]

62. Hrrrm ... how about my top 10 guilty pleasures ... Headed by ... Jack in the Box Tacos ...

1) Hrrmm ... worst for me is probably Jack's Taco's. I get 2, well done with extra lettuce and sauce. Probably get 'em close to 1X a week going back a LONG time as I've always had one close to home or right on route to work.

They're rarely cooked as hot & crisp as I like even though I order 'em well done ... I think they're taught to observe their timer no matter what, but their tacos really need like 15 secs more in the oil than the timer says. Monster Tacos need like 25 extra secs. I know cause I worked there in High School.

They must be eaten IMMEDIATELY however, like as you pull out the drivethru you should be munching otherwise the extra lettuce & sauce chills them out FAST.

2) Come to think of it, Jack's Chicken Strips are THE BEST chicken strips of any FF joint, even Chick-Fil-A & Raising Canes IMHO (though they lack Canes Sauce which rocks). Their ranch & barbeque sauces are delish for dipping. Basically though I love Chicken Strips and dipping sauces.

3) I'm also with the OP on Kraft Mac & Cheese though when I make it I add sliced grilled Spicy Italian Sausage & sauteed bell pepper and onion. Kinda like a Pizza in a Bowl. ORRRRR I do the same with Betty Crocker 3-Cheese Potato Casserole (it's like Au Gratin).

4) Stouffers Meat Lovers Frozen Lasagna ... YUUUUUUUMMMM!!!

5) Olive Garden Soup, Salad, Breadsticks with the Zuppa Toscano (one with sausage, potato, kale ... though they're all at least decent soups).

6) Good Gelato from a shop

7) Super crispy/very tightly-rolled/fresh/hot pork & veggie-filled Egg Rolls from a good Thai/Vietnamese/Cambodian joint, with a sweet and spicy dipping sauce.

8) Freaking SMASH FRIES ...

9) Onion Rings from either The Habit Burger or Culvers

10) Hot/Fresh KFC Fries (big chunks of potato with delicious coating), with a side of Gravy for Dipping.

[d_r]

65. Krystals

[yellowdogintexas]

166. I love Krystals!!! When I go to KY or TN I have to

have at least one stop at a Krystal!

[Skittles]

66. Cheetos Puffs

LOVE those things

[marked50]

69. Pepperoni- large chunks- not sliced

[TheSmarterDog]

70. Cheap Italian red wine,

Montepulciano d'Abruzzo (I really like to say that), or even Chianti

[LiberalLoner]

72. Love Twinkies

Heck love most of those hostess things.

[Sophiegirl]

141. I once loved Twinkees

Until I got pregnant and “morning sickness” had me, uhm, revisiting the creamy filling which then coated my entire mouth and throat. Haven’t had one since 1982. Shame. I once loved Twinkees.

[Texasgal]

74. Spray canned cheese.

It's so awful...but it's SO good.

[area51]

75. Doritos

but I'm trying to lose weight so I haven't had any in quite a while.

[pnwest]

76. Canned corned beef hash !

[JCMach1]

118. So tasty as the salt pulses through your veins

[Will O Wisp]

77. Ditto to the corned beef hash

but a big bowl of Dinty Moore with a couple of slices of soft white bread smeared with margarine.

Just thinking about picking out some of the weirdly textured but oh so tasty hunks of meat and wrapping them up in in the "Buttered" bread is as nice as falling into cool feather comforter on a hot summer night. AHHHHHH

[malthaussen]

91. Dinty Moore baked in a casserole dish...

... with a crust of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls, the leftover rolls on the side.

I do abominate margarine, though. Butter or nothing, sez I.

-- Mal

[GeoWilliam750]

78. Maltesers

Made in partnership with Lucifer himself

[thbobby]

79. Fried Bologna Sandwiches

With American Cheese Food Slices and whipped salad dressing. Thick cut bologna, of course (or several slices).

[bottomofthehill]

135. The James T Molloy Special

Fried baloney and egg on white bread with catsup

[sprinkleeninow]

175. My mom made them in the 50's.

[Freddie]

149. Fried Lebanon bologna

It's a Pennsylvania thing, on a good Italian roll or white toast. DH likes with brown mustard, I like it plain. Must be thin-sliced. Off to the Giant deli today...

[MFM008]

80. McDonald's fries

Nachos
Chips and sour cream dip
Ice cream.
Fresh twinkies.
Sugar cookies...iced.
Cherry Pepsi
And my passion...chocolate milk.

[bettyellen]

103. Try Dipsy Doodles with vanilla ice cream as a dip....

[MFM008]

112. Sticking hot fries

And Into ice cream or froyo

[murielm99]

82. Fried bacon sandwich

Wonder Bread, smeared with butter.

[stonecutter357]

83. Uni !

[lkinwi]

84. Cookie dough ice cream

[Phentex]

85. a good chocolate frosted doughnut...

maybe once or twice a year.

[CrispyQ]

162. With a strong cup of coffee.

When I was a teenager, my boyfriend worked at King Soopers bakery. He would make special chocolate frosted doughnuts for me. Sometimes plain, sometimes topped with chopped nuts or coconut, & sometimes glazed first, & then frosted.

[Phentex]

169. Mmmm....

Now I really want one!

[Major Nikon]

87. Whiskey

[bottomofthehill]

136. Irish whiskey

Paddy’s

[DFW]

90. Papas Bravas. They may kill me, but if so, I'll die happy

Leaving aside the carb issue for the moment, they are served in a thick, heavy mixture of garlic, mayonnaise and olive oil with a bit of chili oil added to spice them up a little. Pure delightful death.

I just had some for dinner two nights ago in one of my favorite places to have them (next to the Cathedral in Barcelona for any suicide-minded travelers). I'm only there maybe eight or ten days out of the year, which is probably the only reason I am still alive. Any more than that and you could probably start writing my obituary now.

[malthaussen]

95. Ok, I'm hungry now.

And it's all your fault.

97. Vanilla cream filled donuts - from Dunkin Donuts

There is a Dunkin Donuts near my house and the temptation is terrible.

Milkshakes from Sonic and Culvers
Yogurt covered pretzels

[lapfog_1]

101. cheeze its crackers

peanut butter filled pretzel bites

vienna sausages with mustard

[joem777]

102. Deep freid veggies!

[Amsterdammer]

105. Some weird/unusual ones...

Poffertjes- best way to describe these bad boys is like a mini pancake that looks like a potato chip that has bubbled, smothered with butter and powdered sugar. They're Dutch, but sometimes I find them (box of mix) at World Market or frozen at Ingles (in the South).

Rubenkraut on a hard roll with butter- it's refined sugar beet syrup from Germany, on the lines of sorghum or molasses. It's what many Europeans use in place of maple syrup, which can be somewhat cost-prohibitive.

Steak tartar, seasoned with salt, pepper and garlic...raw twice-ground lean steak, served on fried rye bread. I get terrible heartburn from this one, but it's SO worth it!

Patatje Oorlog - Dutch/Flemish pomme frites, similar to American "steak fries", smothered in mayo, curry ketchup and minced onions...have your Tums ready!

Any gummies flavored with black currants. Haribo sells them all by themselves in Europe, and in certain "mixed bags" in the U.S.

Mon Cheri by Ferrero (Italy) - a chocolate-covered cherry (except it's a high-grade chocolate and a special Piedmont cherry that has been soaked in cognac). You might have seen other liqueur-filled chocolates (Polish delis, etc.), but this one is Europe's hands-down favorite. Can be found on Amazon and certain H-Mart Korean supermarkets. Don't have them shipped during the summer months, they'll melt & all the good stuff'll leak out!

I just remembered that I also snarfed down a sizeable gift of homemade chocolate napped almond toffee Christmas Eve/Day wee hours in the a.m.

I did attend Christmas Eve service so I feel it was a spiritual act I did regarding the toffee.😆

[Le Gaucher]

110. I hate everything that everyone typed..

I like fries .. but need my fries to be very thin , crispy , sprinkled with small amount of fine chopped parsley , parmesan and truffle oil.

Just kidding.

I love Mac and cheese.

[ProfessorGAC]

113. Is "Yes" An Acceptable Answer?

Nearly everything listed here is ok by me. Fortunately, i've always been able to all that stuff in little bits.

Out of your list, i have to say the Kraft Mac & Cheese is my fave.

[Initech]

[lunasun]

138. Try strawberry as a starter work up to apricot with sweet cheese . Hey I'm in Chicago _tried em all

[Laffy Kat]

122. Hostess orange cupcakes.

I often crave them. The taste takes me to a warm fuzzy place of my childhood where they were often an after school snack.

[denbot]

123. Jack in the box tacos..

Jeebus F’ing Crist on a pogo stick, I live (when I’m home off the road) in Los Angeles, and still I occasionally grab two with the obligatory side order of poppers and a coke..

My formerly secret shame..

[Pachamama]

126. Funjuns

Yummy Onion flavor....

Bad breath after....

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

127. I do find most of what has been offered up to be ghastly.

But I love Stouffer's frozen lasagna.

Oh, and Half Moons from Hemstrought's bakery (any location) in Utica, NY. I lived there as a child, and it is totally my favorite indulgence. It's now been more than a decade since I've had a half moon, and my life is the lesser without any. sigh. But that's not crappy food.

Another not crappy food I love is my very own home made french fries. Real potatoes. Fried in Crisco. OMG! It does not get better than that.

[trixie2]

128. Funyuns and Reese's peanut butter cups

washed down with Mt. Dew.

Before Sophie Mae went out of business, I would succumb once in a while and buy a box. It's very easy to make at home, too. Incredible stuff.

[agingdem]

156. My downfall...

Hostess Snowballs...BBQ Potato Chips (not the baked...blech!)...Junior Mints...Haagan Das Coffee Ice Cream (for breakfast!)...Red Hots... Cheetos...and lots and lots of real cream cheese...!

[DBoon]

158. onion rings

nt

[mikeargo]

159. Slim Jims

Especially the nacho flavored

[MaryMagdaline]

161. Coca-Cola

I am addicted to regular Coca-Cola. Others:
McDonald's fries, apple pie
Doritos.

[sprinkleeninow]

171. I need an intervention.

Addicted to Pepsi or Coke caffeine free.

One time several years ago I tried to wean myself off of it and drank no cola. Two days later, I caved. Had a glass at the ready and sprang at the grocery bag husband brought in with my supply.

After downing a glass--"Aaahhh!"
Not good behavior, huh.

[MaryMagdaline]

173. I went 7 weeks without a coke or any soda once

I quit smoking in 1987 first attempt but could not quit coke. It kills the stomach and tooth enamel. It makes me understand addiction. I can't quit sugar.

[sprinkleeninow]

176. I am so reckless in this. I know the phoshoric acid kills

your body. Not even considering the sugar. Someone I know calls it 'Liquid Death'.

I need to do something. Seriously. How can I be so dumb to have fallen into this trap.

[MaryMagdaline]

177. Me too

[sprinkleeninow]

179. Keep in touch?

[MaryMagdaline]

183. Yes but don't expect me to improve😊

[sprinkleeninow]

187. I expect me to improve. 😌 I do not monitor others.

This exchange alone may be a firestarter to get me motivated.

[DashOneBravo]

164. Glazed donouts

And a Big Mac without the center piece of bread and extra sauce

[RandomAccess]

194. Make mine jelly donuts, preferably KrispyKreme, please

[yellowdogintexas]

168. Cheetos: the crispy ones with HOT seasoning

CheezIts all varieties
potato chips, especially jalapeno or vinegar salt
those butter cookies that come in the blue tin and are always available around Christmas
plain ole ordinary cheese and crackers
Krystals
French Fries
Fast Food Fried Chicken; Popeye's being my favorite, Chicken Express is my second fave.
Pizza although I do not really consider it crap food
Pie because pie is never good for you
Cake
Cookies
Nuts

[dhol82]

184. I know this will appall some but -

Occasionally, I really, really need a Big Mac.
I hide my head in shame but just love that special sauce dripping down my hand.

[sprinkleeninow]

191. 😄 'No judging.' We have our own foibles.

192. Twinkies...

[raven mad]

195. Otter Pops.

Cheez Whiz.................

[Number9Dream]

196. Taylor pork roll w/ cheese on a hard roll w/ mustard

Also White Castle cheeseburgers (somebody mentioned them upthread). Many years ago there used to be a 24hr. White Castle in Rahway, NJ. We'd pull in with the munchies at 1am, and four of us would order 35-40 burgers (they were small).

[Mr.Bill]

197. Cheap frozen burritos.

I like them not just for the convenience and price, I like the taste of them. Not the ones sold individually, but the ones that come eight or more to a bag with a price that works out to less than 50 cents apiece.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

202. Anytime someone goes on a rant about how unhealthy fast food is.....

.....my reaction is like, "So? What's your point?"

To be fair, I don't eat like Donald Trump. I might have fast food once a week, if that.

But Big Macs are delicious. Fries are delicious. KFC is delicious.

I would probably die a quick death if I overdid fast food, but please don't try to shame me out of enjoying it every once in a while because it's not going to work.

Same thing happens to me with soda (although I've switched to zero calorie, which I'm sure there are lots of other issues, but screw you). Every time someone goes on a long self-righteous speech about how they used to drink soda but they quit it and now only drink water--screw you. Soda tastes good. Water is boring.

[maxrandb]

209. Funions

Another is Kraft Spaghetti Dinner in a box. Had the pasta, sauce and a little tin of grated cheese. Lived on it before marriage.
