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!

our favorite luncheon meat delicacy, chipped ham, a paper-thinly-sliced sweet, fatty compressed ham product.

Comes in a jar, if I remember correctly?

Yum.... Ham in a jar.

Bring your pal a Buritto Supreme from Taco Bell and then give her the nutritional facts for fun.

Nope, fresh from the deli. It comes in a big loaf, just like other lunchmeats and they load it on the slicer, set it for "as thin as possible" and let it mound up.

This is what I do with the Ramen Noodles...

I open a pack and crack it into two plastic containers (feel free to add flavor pack or add your own condiments).
Then add stir fry frozen veggies and frozen shrimp... add half cup water and NUKE for a few minutes...

Instant stir fry with noodles.

I know - sounds too easy - but it's good!

If your parents were so selfish as to not provide you with one, I am afraid you will have to do without.

Goes back to the hormone discussion we had a while back. I finally found out what the deal was.

Truly nature's perfect food. It's meat, it's fat, it's sweet, it's salty.

Yes, I remember that. Darn it! Life just isn't fair. I got skipped over the day they were handing out boob genes too.

I'll try that. I always have some on hand. I still use them to cook with in many things, including my big fancy stir fry.

Even my kids like them.

Bacon is great. But ONLY if it's not all flibbledy. Gotta be crispy.

Perhaps you could just take up heroin. All the models do it. You could be just like a famous model!
