Super Secret Guilty Pleasure Foods (vanity)
PA times | 8/23/05 | Dr. Pissant

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!

Hormel Tamales are EXCELLENT. As are the Raviolis in the can!

Mmmm. I like the mustard. And not the cheapies that are in "mustard sauce." Blech.

The better kind, packed in actual yellow mustard.

I like everything on your list except Sardines.

But a guilty pleasure would be the Pillsbury chocolate chip cookie dough eaten right out of the wrapper uncooked!!!

My mom gets the ones packed in mustard or hot sauce. Sardines and vienna sausages are my weak foods. I've not had them in a while. Vienna sausages usually include the meat of Satan in them though.

I must confess...I've never actually tried a vienna sausage....but...they look so GROSS!!!

Now don't even get me started on Velveeta cheese. That i have tasted. Yuck times a million. I'm italian. I was raised to believe that good cheese isn't supposed to melt.
