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!
YES! Crab...with a lot of melted butter!
LOL!!!
I forgot to add the author....

Sure you're not from the South? ;o)
Chunky peanut butter and strawberry preserve on rye toast with crispy bacon. MMMMMMMmmmmmm!
You gotta be kidding me!
No WAY I'm merely #5 on the list.
(who stole your 'luffs'?)
Marge Simpson was making tuna-stuffed steak on the last episode I saw. This sounds just as appetizing. My mom used to make a horrible tuna casserole with various "cream of" soups.
Now, if you want a tasty, cholesterol-laden, stink-up-the-house treat, fry some bologna in butter and serve on (what else?) squishy white bread.
(For lower-fat version, crisp individual slices in microwave without the butter.)

post 200 and you finally get around to pinging me?
Where were you yesterday? Huh?
Are you breaking up with me?
Just cause I won't eat little sausages?
I'm still trying to process your post at 154, when you admit a certain liking of Vienna Sausages. Really?
Yeah me too ;o) My mom makes christmas hams with the cloves in them and drives me CRAZY *LOL* She also makes barbecue ribs that'll make anyone eat their fingers! Now I'm hungry hehehe.
Me, too, but I usually would toast the bread first. You just have to make sure when you bite in you don't inhale, or you'll get a lungfull of Quik.
Quik is also good to sprinkle on ice cream. It's also a good treat to mix a good sugary cereal, like Cap'n Crunch, onto a bowl of ice cream.

It's a childhood food. My mom used to make them with tomato and onion with a big piece of 'bake'which is just pan baked bread. I haven't had them in a long time. The bake will be eaten but not the vienna sausages.
I crack a bunch and let it soak up some butter and then chow it down... when I'm feeling especially naughty!

Yes, I've been there. I can smell that, uh, stink right now.
But my craving from this thread has already fixated on the mustard sardines and rye crackers.
My hubby used to make what was called the "Superman Sandwich" when he was in college it consisted of:
first layer-peanut butter and jelly
second layer-sliced hot dogs with mustard and ketchup
third layer- lunch meat of choice with Kraft singles and mayo.
all between toasted bread. Sounds like something you might like.
You have to buy crabs in MD, silly.
Yummy! Let's both kick Pissant's butt, he didn't ping me either. We'll get him back. :)
