Let's Dish: What Are Your Guilty Pleasure Foods?

July 3, 2008

Whenever I interview chefs, I always ask: "What's your favorite guilty pleasure food?" Of course, my definition of "guilty pleasure" is quite different from, say, FitSugar's. I don't consider it a guilty pleasure if it's high in fat or calories; that is a mere pleasure.

No, I'm talking about the food that you don't want your foodie friends to know you eat, whether it's Totino's frozen pizza rolls or "cappuccino" from 7-Eleven. Obviously, I make no secret of the fact that I'll eat pretty much anything, so now it's time for you to 'fess up. What foods do you secretly adore?

Ok so there's a Wienerschnitzel on my way home from work and occasionally I'll grab a mustard dog and eat it in the car. I always throw away the bag/wrapper before my husband finds it. So bad. I'm so hungry now I think I might have to stop on my way home today.

ditto on the frozen corn dogs.with lots of yellow mustard and ketchup. I also love Funyons, velveeta cheese sandwiches with miracle whip on white bread, and plain old bologna sandwiches.

Two McD cheeseburgers, fries, and a Dr. Pepper Meal...I could never tell my mom.

Occasional Cheeseburger Happy Meal for McDonald's. A Baja Gordita with Beans instead of Meat from Taco Bell. Jack in the Box Tacos. Kraft Mac n Cheese. And about once a year I buy a loaf of white sandwich bread and a pack of fresh bologna, and eat bologna sandwiches for like, three meals a day until it runs out. Bad for me, but cheap and delicious.

Does cookie dough or pancake batter count? I secretly sneaked teaspoons of batter when I was a kid. But um, on the really edible stuff--it's gotta be onion rings from Burger King. I like them better than fries :)

For sweets, it's key lime pie or cheesecake...for snacks, I've always loved salt and vinegar chips.

Like many others, Mickie D's burgers (soooo good when you're hung over) as well as their chicken nuggets. For some reason I don't mind mentioning when I crave Wienerschnitzel, Krystals (the southern version of White Castle), or Popeye's, but I hate to admit when I'm craving McDonalds. The white cake w/ white icing you get at the grocery store bakery. This tops all other types of birthday dessert for me. The strawberry-flavored gel that comes in a plastic bag on top of shortcake cups with Cool Whip - strawberries optional :-) . I didn't like strawberries as a kid, so these were my version of strawberry shortcakes - and I still like to make them occasionally.

Hot dogs, pepperoni, beef jerky etc. All the really nasty processed meats. Ramen noodles are right up there. So are frosting from the jar on a spoon or graham crackers. So is anything from Arby's or McDonalds. Yum. Now I'm hungry.

Berry Yogurt...not that there is anything wrong with that. But I share a cup, and a spoon, with the big, hairy duffus on my avatar. Oliver, and his extreme peke-face, inevitably ends up with yogurt speckles spanning his massive forehead to his chubby toes! :)

I think I just gained 5 pounds reading everyone's posts! I love: mashed potatoes (and gravy) chocolate milkshakes Tostitos Hint of Lime Tortilla chips (I call them "the devil's chips".
