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!

Bee vomit = honey.

One of our football crew puts a great bag of the freezer kind in a crockpot with barbecue sauce and a bit of water. Let it simmer all morning and bring the crockpot (heater and all) right to the game.

Those go very fast.

We still use Old Bay Seasoning at our Crab Feeds though!

Tonight we are celebrating my husband's thirtieth birthday.

We're stopping at a local bar/grill and having Park Slope.
Curious to see if anyone here knows what it is.

(And I'll also be having a dozen wings, dry, sauce on the side - butter garlic)
And a Yuengling Lager (even though I was hungover from it all day Sunday - but I am a glutton for punishment)

We're all just so shallow around here.

Sacrilege for you even to have thought of it, PA.

All right...

I am a southern girl and have eaten some

weird stuff.

I watched the slaughter of a pig one time

on a farm and let me tell you...I was weirded out

for days. I believe in eating meat

but I want to buy it at a grocery store all packaged

and pretty and I don't want to see/hear/smell

where it came from...And I don't eat honey

[cyborg]

LOL!!!:o)

And, love crackling cornbread, with adequate bits of fat & meat left on the cracklings after rendering them out for lard. Wife often buys a side of bacon with the skin on, after rendering, she then makes the crackling cornbread.

At well over three score in years, I will admit, those nostalgic times may be good for a visit, but I wouldn't want to live there anymore. It was often all hard scrabble just to put food on the table and wood cut for heat & cooking.

[patton]

not a clue - what is it?

[SoothingDave]

a radical vegan who considered the bee to be an animal and honey to be its vomit.

They actually do regurgitate the nectar they gather. So, it is a sort of vomit. Tasty, sweet vomit.

Eggs were chicken mestruations.

That's ridiculous. Eggs are chicken ovulations.

I found this recipe for a substitute you might like:

You can pick on me because I happened to have 2 snowballs for breakfast. They are seasonal at Kroger. The outside of the coconut goo is painted different colors for the season but it all tastes regular.

You know why you can only find no more than three packs of Snowballs at any convenience store shelf?

It's because they are radioactive, and if you get four of them together they form a critical mass and a nuclear explosion will occur.

The National Atomic Energy Commission closely monitors the location and spacing of all Snowballs in America.

I feel MUCH better now...
