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!
One box per sitting! LOL
Excellent taste! Though substitute Hostess Tiger Tails for Twinkies!
"velveeta cheese- one of the main food groups?" didn't know that. that stuff is disgusting. Ate alot of mac and cheese- never with velveeta, . People still use it for dips uhhhhhhh Kinda like the kraft american plastic cheese slices
When I was a kid... I'd spoon the dry chocolate Quik© out of the container.
I agree!
Where's the Blue Belle Chocolate Ice cream,
or the Butterfingers,
or the homemade biscuits (with lard, of course) and syrup???
Cheese Whiz, Dutch pretzels, a Bud Light and The Cowboys!
I am embarassed to admit, I love the Slim Jim and also beef jerky. They are a must for my husband and I when road-tripping. Love the after breath too!
Exactly (about the cheese)...
Real cheese, the sharper or stronger the better.
That processed stuff tastes like plastic and sticks to your teeth!
you must get really bad breath with that mixture.
What is Jax?? Like a Cheeto?
The boat? LOL
Honestly,
I can't even see a can of Vienna sausage without gagging.
And as for Velveeta....
Whomever invented it should get life in prison without parole.
(The sardines, pork rinds and chicken thingies are sorta ehh)
Slim Jims, YES! Or Oh Boy Oberto Beef Jerky!!!
Ping!
#4 and #5 I had this weekend. Grilled a 16 ounce filet marinated in sea salt, pepper, and Worcestshire sauce! Oh boy!
I like to sit down with a small tub of vanilla frosting...I'm not too skinny.
