Most of us take pride in the fact that we have some knowledge of proper nutrition and diet. Many of us run, bike, or do other vigorous exercise to maintain or college figures.
But there are some foods, often discovered in our youth, that no matter how nutritionally worthless they may be, are just too darn tasty to give up.
We may not tell our friends and loved ones, and we'll hide them under the other groceries in the supermarket, but somehow these guilty pleasure find a way into our gullets!
So without further adieu...
Top 5 Guilty Pleasure Foods
5. Velveeta Cheese. Who knows if there is any dairy product in this stuff. But darn it tastes good smothering nachos or melted on a toasted cheese sandwich!
4. Chicken in a Biscuit. The perfect cracker to compliment Velveeta. It's good to know that MSG and powder made from dry chickens can be so addicting!
3. Vienna Sausages. Though these little gems are not likely to show up as an appetizer at a fancy party, give me that yummy taste of Mechanically Separated Chicken and pork over cavier anytime!!
2. Sardines. Something about little stinky fish in a can turns off alot of people. But the fond memories of camping trips eating these oily creatures on a saltine cracker....
1. Hot and Spicy Pork Rinds. I know these delicious fried chunks of pig fat made a comeback during the Atkins craze. But some of us never abandoned these carnivorous treats! PETA be damned!
You are getting me craving too. The Hot cheetos are awesome. And the little Ice Cubes deserve to be in the hall of fame!
Yes. Braunswager is aka Liverwurst. I used to eat it on white bread with ketchup, but it's been a long, long time.
I did buy a can of Spam the other day and use it to threaten the wife with. One of these days I'll slice it up and fry it. Haven't had it in a decade or more.

What flavor is your favorite? Pesonally, they HAVE to be iced, the plain ones are pointless.
I am partial to the cinnamon and brown sugar ones, or blueberry.
Don't even wanna ask what kind of milk, do you?

That's real food. I could live off good italian salami, skanky cheese, and olives. Oh, and wine! :o)
I figured it was like on "The Simpsons:" 100% animal milk, guaranteed!
You live in Tacoma if I recall. The Metropolitan Market has a great Chipotle dip!!!
Now your talkin'! :)
Ever had Kraft mac and cheese with cut up hot dogs in it? My hubby calls it "weenie mac". It's still one of my favorite meals.
Real butter, salt, and sometimes grated Parmesan cheese. (Go Vikes!)
Vienna Sausages are God's Gift to mankind!
You just reminded me of my olive fetish...thanks.
A root beer float made with French vanilla ice cream and A & W Root Beer.
Braunsweiger is best served on toasted rye with yellow mustard.
Mmmmmmm! Bachelor-night soul food.
Head cheese, also called souse and brawn, is a jellied loaf or sausage. Originally it was made entirely from the meaty parts of the head of a pig or calf, but now can include edible parts of the feet, tongue, and heart. The head is cleaned and simmered until the meat falls from the bones, and the liquid is a concentrated gelatinous broth. Strained, the meat is removed from the head, chopped, seasoned and returned to the broth and the whole placed in a mold and chilled until set, so it can be sliced.
A hot chocolate cake with ice cream on the side covered with a chocolate syrup and nuts.
Here's one from the Midwest that will gross some people out, smoked sturgeon. Now THAT is some good stuff on saltene crackers.
Mmmmmmm mmmmmm.
