YUCK! Are you kidding?! Where's chocolate or ice cream on that list? Come on!

[ctlpdad]

Strawberry Quik.

I'll admit to liking sardines - King Oscar brand are the best, by far, especially the ones packed in olive oil. Great with crackers, or I like 'em with a little lemon juice, eaten straight out of the can. I love kipper snacks, too.

Now that I have a roommate...I've kinda given 'em up. No hiding the smell of the things. *sigh*

But they're healthy! No guilt on that score!

[RosieCotton]

Yeah...those are more the guilty pleasure foods.

Friendly's Forbidden Chocolate Explosion ice cream is absolutely awesome. Probably good I can't get it here.

My athletic teenage daughter eats those nasty snowballs. When she bites into them I can here the squishy sound and am just grossed out.

[Millee]

I could eat the whole damn box!! YUMMMMMY!!

[Tired of Taxes]

Did you know the government lists Velveeta cheese in one of the main food groups? No kidding, it qualifies as "dairy" in your kid's lunchbox.

[A knight without armor]

Braunswager and onion sandwich on white bread.

[Tired of Taxes]

Yeah, I was wondering where CHOCOLATE is, too.

I don't think they're listing desserts, just things that might qualify as "food". (But chocolate is a major food group all on its own for me). ;-)

[Ciexyz]

Mac and cheese.

If you are doing sardines, it's gotta be King Oscar sardines, red package, packed in olive oil, on real saltines with all the fat and salt.

My first heavy-weather ride as a Coasty on a small boat, they tried to mess with me and another kid by eating sardines. He puked on the coxswain, then the other 3 crew saw that and puked. I asked if they had another can of sardines. I was hungry.

Ketchup qualifies as a veggie. So do french fries.

Ice cream is way too common! ;o)

[RosieCotton]

What about those nasty "fruit" pies that are sometimes as cheap as four for a dollar at gas stations, or used to be. I've had a lot of those over the years...sometimes in the summer my siblings and I would walk into town (six miles), get scads of the cheapest junk food we could find, and later bum a ride home with Dad when he got off work.

Oh, I loved the chocolate Quick. I always put the QUick in 1st, and purposely did not stir it well so I would have a spoonful of the moistened powder in the bottom of the glass!

[nomorelurker]

I have to have canned sardines about once every 3 months. Put in bowl, pour mustard over, mash up and grab some crackers. Also like canned smoked oysters the same way. I think I just decided on what to have for lunch! Have some spicy pork rinds at home may snack on them tonight but was saving them for something else. Saving spicy pork rinds for what other use you ask???. Put them in blender grind up very fine and use as a coating for fried shrimp instead of your regular coating/batter. Yummy!!!

[najida]

OH GAG!
You mean people really eat that stuff and call it pleasure?

///shudder\\\

[pissant]

Healthy, and darn tasty. Olive oil or the mustard sauce!

Aaaaaamen! I love those things. Used to stock up on them whenever they were on sale. Something comforting about having a nice stack of sardine cans in the cabinet. ;-)
