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!

Swiss cake roll...that's Little Debbie's version of the HoHo. If ya pop em in the freezer for a few minutes, you can then unroll the chocolate top layer in one piece! The white cremy stuff is extra delish when chilled as well. Yummy!

My wife unrolls them the same way. She also keeps any kind of snack cake in the freezer and I now consider that normal. You're right that the "creme" inside such things is really good out of the freezer.

Taco Bell does give me heartburn. But that's what they make Rolaids for, right????

Life's too short for heartburn. Take a Tagamet beforehand and you'll never have a problem. Get the generic (cimetidine) at WalMart for about $8 for 60 doses.

Teeny's not telling an un-truth.

Chicken sandwich, onion rings and a small chocolate shake.

It's my own fault. Between my husband and me I think we have every prescription and non prescription h.b. medicine known to man. I am just too stupid to take them before I eat.

My god, listen to us. You'd think I was on some forum just for uncool middle aged people!

Yuck, man, you really ARE a guy.

Not that I ever had any doubts, pissy.

The only thing on your list in which I would join you is the cracker thingies.

At this point in my life all food is a guilty pleasure.

Except celery, which, luckily, I LOVE.

Please note BerthaDee's facile use of HTML commands for bold, italics and underline. Impressive, eh?

Oh, shut up.

And then you realize you have T shirts older than the neighborhood teens. And all these kids Tommy Lee's going to "college" with weren't even born when Motley Crue was popular.

Braunswager and onion sandwich on white bread.


I like braunswager on a Ritz with a little dot of mustard.

My husband thinks I am nuts...I unroll them with surgical precision. My other 'unique' eating habit...Milk Duds and salty popcorn (you start w/a Milk Dud in your mouth first, then eat the popcorn). The perfect movie snack. My excuse, and I do stick to it, I was an only child and allowed to get away with stuff like this :)

I'm not sure which is more disturbing, the thought of you eating McCormick season-all, or that this might be some weird type of recipe.

Yes! I got the mustard idea today. I'm sure to try it with my next braunswager sandwich.

I was out shopping recently with my nephew and a friend of his. They were talking about how they wanted to get a job at some clothing store so they could get a discount. I told them about when I used to work at a similar store when I was a teenager, and the really great discounts I used to get.

Then I realized that my experience was twenty years ago. Before these guys were even born. Boy, did they think that was funny.

But a guilty pleasure would be the Pillsbury chocolate chip cookie dough eaten right out of the wrapper uncooked!!!

Been there and done it. Last week, in fact. LOL

I am very embarassed, in a network kinda way, to have shared my Milk Dud/popcorn recipe, only to be followed by a post that contains items that are organic, raw, and ripe in nature. And I don't even know what a potsticker is...
