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!
Have not done it in a while, but it is sooooo good.
Thought you'd appreciate the tagline too.
I would have put SPAM on this list too. I have to admit that one of my favorite sandwiches is fried SPAM & american cheese on quishy white bread. I can't eat it too often though due to heckling by my GF and the fact that it is artery clog heaven.
When I was in high school in the 60's, my boyfriend used to bring fried Spam & American cheese sandwiches for lunch. He would always give me a half. Sweet huh?
No one really eats that way all the time. They only say it to sound hoytee toytee.
I like Kettle Korn or popcorn with Milkduds.
Have you ever tried "Peep jousting"? Take 2 Peeps and stick a toothpick in the front of each. Place them in the microwave about 2 inches apart and turn the microwave on high. Watch the fun.
Emeril has nothing on us!!!
LOL...and all of that from a person who goes by 'twinkie.'
Every now and then I chop it up and make sh*t on a shingle, just to relive my school lunches.
My Mom called chipped beef and white gravy, "Roses in the Snow" on toast. LOL
Dumpling. Korean, I think. Meat and cabbage and whatnot inside a little dough folded up. You can buy them prepackaged at Wal Mart or supermarket and it comes with a spicy sweet n sour sauce.

That's how I eat it too. A Milk Dud and then a handful of popcorn. LOL
Not to mention that this is supposed to be about guilty pleasures, not tofu and goat cheese.
Another guilty pleasure w/cabbage is huluski...noodles, cabbage, a little onion, alot of butter...
Gosh, I am getting hungry.
Agreed...I (showing my dietary ignorance is bliss attitude) have never had tofu or goat cheese. A child of the 70s here...I even once made that 'Mock Apple Pie' on the back of the Ritz Cracker box...it actually was pretty good :)
I refuse to eat anything that might be served in an over priced San Francisco restaurant.
I'd rather have pierogies.

Don't be so sure. Chicken liver wrapped in bacon and glazed with maple syrup is a ritzy appetizer and delicious. I forget what it is called. You'd be surprised how tasty it is.
soothing dave: That's ridiculous. Eggs are chicken ovulations.
I'm betting that's not the only thing the old fool had wrong. LOL
But to "win" a confrontation with those radical types, the best thing is to throw their gross-out rhetoric back at them, in spades. After all, I know an egg is an egg, but this dude thought it was a "chicken menstruation." Say that kind of thing to him enough, and HE'LL be the one annoyed, not me.
Thanks, that's what I do best.
