I would have put SPAM on this list too. I have to admit that one of my favorite sandwiches is fried SPAM & american cheese on quishy white bread. I can't eat it too often though due to heckling by my GF and the fact that it is artery clog heaven.

[conservativebabe]

Never had them either, it scares me.

[proudofthesouth]

Fried cornbread dressing. I'm in the process of loosing weight just so I can indulge in this over the Holidays.

"If they were sold individually I'd get one and fry it or whatever."

Just make sure you wash them a few time first. ;-)

I worked in a meat market for a few years. We had two ladies come in looking for a bucket. We had them, but they didn't buy them because they argued over who's house they were going to cook them in. Neither one wanted their house to be stunk up for the few days after cooking.

You know that slice-and-bake cookie dough? I love it raw!! I also love cake batter, but I try not to eat it 'cause it has raw eggs in it.

I used to love Sara Lee banana cake, but haven't found it in years. For some reason the craft service trucks on movie and TV sets have it, though. Visited a friend of mine who was working on a TV set and had Sara Lee banana cake, first time in years! The frosting is to die for.

[conservativebabe]

How about some pork n' beans spiced with a little jalepeno juice? That's some good eatin'.

Well, when you said "guilty pleasure" foods, I think you mean foods one might be ashamed to admit liking, or loving.

Here's one of mine, from the old law-school days:

Make a box of Velveeta Shells and Cheese. When the pasta is added to the water, add half a cup of frozen green peas. Cook and strain normally. When the cheese pack is added, dump in a can of tuna.

Mmmmmmm.

The idea of it makes cyborg laugh out loud, but for me, it's blindingly easy and not entirely unbalanced, and with a bit of extra shells from the Barilla box, it's enough for lunch AND dinner.

When I was a kid... I'd spoon the dry chocolate Quik© out of the container.

When I was a kid I'd put Quil on my peanut butter sandwiches and called them dirt sandwiches. Tasted like Reece's cups.

[cyborg]

LOL I'm laughing right NOW :D

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

"Meat of satan?"

I think it is in the Q'aran somewhere.

[knak]

Quil on my peanut butter

Oops, meant Quik.

[Petronski]

Anything is good with A-1 sauce.

Anything?

[newfrpr04]

invited to a birthday brunch , never saw so many different mexican foods (only know tacos,tosadas and enchiladas).

Did you have those white powder sugar cookies and flan (custard)? They had these at this brunch. I think I'll stick to italian. German food can be pretty smelly- had plenty of that stuff growing up

[snowsislander]

Say, I've always wanted to try chiterlings (which I believe is pork) but never had the chance. I don't know of any cafe in Atlanta that serves them.

If you live in the Atlanta area, you might be interested in visiting the Chitlin' Strut in Salley, South Carolina, in November:

	Chitlin' Strut 2005   Salley Civic Center and Fairgrounds				Saturday, November 26

Home Information History News articles Chitlin' Queen Hawg Call What's a Chitlin'? Schedule of Events Vendor Applications Links Pictures Parade Map Feedback

Information On the 200th anniversary of the US Library of Congress, this event was nominated and selected as one of several entries to represent South Carolina in the Local Legacies Archive. This Archive lists events that depict the heritage of our country. The Strut has also been touted as one of the "Top 20 Events in the Southeast" by the Southeastern Tourism Society. It has been featured in the World Book Encyclopedia, The State Newspaper (Columbia, SC), Southern Living, Thoroughbred Country, and other major magazines and newspapers including the International Edition of the Herald Tribune (1970 Paris edition). Salley becomes the 5th largest city in South Carolina the day of the Chitlin' Strut. During the Chitlin' Strut, Salley ranks higher in population than Rock Hill, Sumter, Mt Pleasant, Spartanburg, Hilton Head, Florence, and Myrtle Beach. Salley's population becomes larger than 22 other county's in the state. The increase of population from 410 people to over 50,000 is 122 times the amount of people that normally live in Salley. The Chitlin' Strut is held on the former site of the Salley Public School which served the community for approximately fifty years.  Proceeds from the Chitlin' Strut were used to purchase the facility from the local school district after consolidation brought about the school's closure.  Today the facility is used throughout the year for various community activities.  For instance, the local museum is located in one of the former school buildings.  Also, a local Indian tribe uses a portion of the facility for its organizational headquarters. The Chitlin' Strut is also a very good example of community service and self-sacrifice.  The amount of planning and preparation that is required for the Chitlin' Strut to take place is very impressive.  As with most festivals, volunteers comprise a large portion of the workforce.  Approximately seventy persons volunteer their time and effort (out of a total population of approximately 490).  Most sacrifice their Thanksgiving holiday to assist in the event preparations.  Besides serving on the committees which plan the festival, the volunteers are indispensable on the day of the Chitlin' Strut.  They help with all aspects of the festival, including ticket sales, chitlin' preparation, chitlin' sales, souvenir book sales, and the sale of baked goods.  The festival could not be held without the efforts of these dedicated volunteers.   Here are some of the comments written about the Chitlin' Strut: "The residents of this one hog town live and die for the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Country music and over 10,000 pounds of chitlins are waiting for you!" - What's Going On.com "If you're going to have a festival for pig intestines, you might as well have fun with it." - Augusta Chronicle "When the town of Salley, South Carolina, prepares for its annual chitlin strut, many locals actually gag as old-timers clean the fortitude out of the intestines. Some 70,000 people stream into Salley for the chitlin strut." - Dallas Observer

Guilty Food Pleasures.... (not including chocolate body
paint).


1. Bagel, cream cheese and a good lox - maybe some capers
2. Italian ice - cherry or lemon
3. brie and crackers - with grapes, pears and/or apples
4. creme brulee
5. whole dungeness crab.... I love to eat it with my hands and make a terrible mess.... ;-)

Don't forget a lovely Chardonnay or a Potato Vodka (Rocks or up with an olive) would be a nice addition to any meal.

Now, where is my chocolate body paint?

"I'm making some for my future in laws. Want some?!"

Got a gallon jug of the pork knuckles in the fridge now. But thanks for the offer, homemade pig's feet sounds great.

As a kid I loved beef brains and scrambled eggs, wasn't one bit adverse to chitin's either. Matter of fact, at hog killing time in the late fall, we utilized everything but the squeal. The scalding and scraping was the bad part, but those hickory smoked hams and bacon hanging in the smoke house through the winter more than made up for it.

[A knight without armor]

Me, too! I know braunschweiger would be super on good rye bread. Do you use special mustard or regular yellow? As soon as I saw that picture of braunschweiger my mouth started watering! I can't leave it alone. When I get some it is gone in like two days.

By the way, what is your favorite mustard? I'm sort of a condimentophile.

Do you like horseradish? I love horseradish. I eat it just on the side of my plate with any meal. It used to grow along the gravel road where we lived in northwestern Illinois. It has huge roots! You can tell it is powerful just by looking at it. I buy Gold's brand prepared horseradish. I notice in the store you can get it mixed with beets also.
