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!
Wow...just...wow!
Agreed. No accounting whatsoever! Thank God for the variety of crappy foods available!
six olives on a stick with scotch and water, twist of lemon
Great list, but I would add "potted meat" to make it a top six items.
Tiger tails are just gussied up twinkies. They are still around!
My dad used to eat that stuff by the pounds. Amazing he's still alive. He even ate it once after it had started to spoil and turn green. Couldn't bare the thought of throwing it out.
I like the stew the best. ANything with lye!
Very yummy! Soemthing about meat in a can!
How green?
Sometimes it gets a greenish tinge even when it's just fine. Cover the green part with mustard and yum yum.
Now that's what i'm talkin bout! What kind of guilty pleasure is Vienna Sausages. YUCK!
No. But growing up in Tacoma w/o a football team, the Vikings were it, baby!
The origainals. The soft Chips Ahoy suck!
green enough that he was sick for 3 days after! LOL!
I'm with you except for the Krispy Kremes. They are nothing but sugar flavored air, IMO!
You are disgusting...
I thought it was part of the "plastic" food group.
That's amazing. 1120% of the daily limit of cholesterol.
1120%!
LOL
OK. Any combo of Chocolate and PB works well for me!
Uh oh, we can no longer be friends, I am a life-long Bears fan. (wink,wink) :)
