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

Posted on 08/23/2005 8:32:28 AM PDT by 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!

They just had a show on about them last night.

After the Easter holiday this year, I went to the dollar store and bought 27 BOXES of them (at 13 cents a box, wouldn't you?).

Best when left open for a few days to harden up. I still have a couple boxes stashed in my desk drawer at work. They should be like rocks by now.

OMG My grandmother used to feed us circus peanuts and butter and sugar sandwiches. LOL

I still buy them once in a while!

You bet. Good stuff. I ONLY use marshmallow fluff when making rice krispie treats. Makes them creamier.

No kidding...I'm going to try that. I love those pickled sausages in a bottle. Just normal uncooked weenies, apple cider vinegar and onion....I might get scared and put it in the frig. I wonder if that would stop the pickle process.

To be honest, I can't remember. It was going a long way back. The only thing I remember was when they were going down, down, down, and the rivets started popping and one went through the guys arm.

Who's hungry now?

Also known by Kraft as "Marshmallow Creme." All the nutritional goodness of real marshmallows, in a semi-spreadable format.

We used this as a base to make fudge during last Christmas and it was really simple and good.

I don't think it has much to do with the diet itself. It's a 'restricted' diet and it's more psychological than anything else. Hence, why I'll never attend PETA meetings! There are concentrated amounts of veg posers.

There was a comic a while ago - Tom McTigue (see below) who did this whole thing about how Pot Pies go from FROZEN TUNDRA to MOLTEN LAVA within a few seconds in the microwave.

He was hilarious!

peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwiches...

Time to tell on my dad. He had a fondness for peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches. I still miss him (heart attack, of course).

As long as I'm talking about family, my wife packed "aerosol cheese in a can" and ritz crackers in her overnight bag when she went into the hospital to give birth to our daughter. And when the nurse saw it and gave her the evil eye, she told her they were MINE!

My personal guily pleasure are chopped BBQ sandwiches with coleslaw, eaten hastily when my doctor is looking the other way (he knows all about my dad).

Yeah, but Velveeta has a better ring to it than Hot and Spicy Pork Rinds. JMO

I know, can you believe it? I'm now luffs-less. ;-D

There is a woman at my new job who picks apart EVERYTHING she eats. I want to slap her....

She'll complain about everything and then eats a GIANT dessert. She's half asian and can't gain a pound - but is always like, "there are too many carbs in this" "I can't eat an entire piece of pizza - my stomach is too small"....

And I say, come over here, you skinny puke and let me ..... show you were to put the rest of your friggin' pizza...

I can't stand people like that. Makes you want to tie them down and shove a Whopper down their throat.
