Crap foods you love

Few things lower than a pepperoni pizza roll. You get 20 of them for a buck at the Dollar Tree. Cholesterol and carbs in one neat little package. I chuck them down my throat like Farva eating M&M’s.

Cheez Whiz light. Melted in the microwave on tortilla chips and smothered in tequila salsa or slathered on light rye toast. I’ll eat a jar in a few days if it’s in the house.
Also, once in a blue moon, what I call bachelor sandwiches. White bread, that light fluffy stuff that never goes bad. Onto to that we place two slices of bologna, two slices of Kraft singles, Mustard, mayo, and ripple potato chips. Crush slightly, and consume with a can of Coke as it’s the only thing that will scavenge all the goo off your teeth!

Have you ever tried frying the bologna?

Love fried bologna with mustard. But you have to snip a radius if you want it flat.

I’m a total sucker for Frito Lay Hot Bean Dip with Fritos.

Yeah, when I was in college and only had 1.40 (the cost of a pack of bologna and sixer of Kingsbury beer at the time) and the base of a West Bend Stir Crazy popcorn popper to cook it in.

We park our cars in the same garage! :slight_smile:

When it comes to burritos, chili cheese dogs, and the like, I once worked in a convenience store where I had to clean out the cooler after we closed at night. I always made sure I scavenged the “Best before date” goods once they’d been tossed in the trash.

My mother always bought Cool Whip and Hi-C “fruit” drink instead of the real stuff. Whether this was a question of economics or personal taste, I don’t know, but she couldn’t be persuaded to do otherwise.

Well, for me a different version= a beef and bean frozen burrito. I nuke them and then insert cheese. Cut a wedge shape of mild cheddar or something, cut burrito in half, insert into both halves.

Snort. :rofl:

Yep. The Thick crust one.

(gives secret handshake)

I love them but they make my gut hurt if I eat more than a tiny bag.

For me- Entemans Choco Donuts- refrigerated.

And Totinos Party Pizza. :cook:

That’s how I am about margarine. That disgusting oily crap is not coming into my house. It’s butter or nothing.

Velveeta! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Oh, gawd. Like they made a pizza on a stale saltine cracker. If you ‘re ever impatient make one in the microwave! :smiley: Like a pizza flavored beef jerky. You’ll wear your jaw out chewing it.

Circus Peanuts are good candy, no matter what gourmets and snobs and health food fadders have to say about the issue. I like the taste of them (which is rather banana-ish, somewhat marshmallow-y, but mostly just the taste of Circus Peanuts) and really enjoy their unique texture.

It’s not a holiday at our house without Cheez Whiz and celery…

Also… Jalapeno Chex Mix= road trip food

Bold Chex Mix = Wine tasting food

Also occasionally just have to have a 7-11 hot dog, nacho cheese covered with stale bun- it’s only slightly beaten by burned to almost ashes home grilled hot dog.

This thread gave me the cravings for some Circus Peanuts, sooo good.

Wait…kim chee at a Chinese buffett? WTF!

I seriously get a stomachache when I mix Asian foods, Chinese food with Japanese or Japanese and Korean. I joke that it’s because both the Chinese and Koreans hate the Japanese because of the occupations.

I’m Okinawa/Japanese and have had older Chinese, Korean and Filipinos tell me that we could never have friends in the past.

Has Spam and vienna sausages been mentioned?

Actually neither is cheap with Spam costing more per pound than whole ham.

Smartfood White Cheddar Popcorn. Doesn’t last around here.

Boars Head garlic bologna wrapped around a slice of brite orange american cheese flavored food.

Those are one of my favorite lunch break meals at the grocery store I work at, with a generous helping of Huy Fong sriracha on top of them. They are indeed hard to get lately - it seems like we get two cases in, they sell out in about two days, and it takes us another 3-4 weeks to get another two cases. In the meantime, we have plenty of the chicken ones, which nobody buys and for good reason - they taste like hot water with black pepper in it, and nothing else.

7/11 Big Bite with chili, mustard, onions, and a shitload of jalapenos. I was almost heartbroken when the 7/11 next to my work closed earlier this year.

Last time I bought Chef Boyardee I noticed that the label now boasts that it has no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. I’m starting to think that those were what made it edible.

The Chinese buffet here in town seems to take “Chinese” as a suggestion rather than a commandment, seeing as they also have a sushi bar, fried chicken fingers, hamburgers, a Mongolian BBQ station, and New York strip cooked to your preference at dinner time.

A few additions of my own;

  • Burritos of ground beef with foil packet taco seasoning and cheddar cheese. 2 or 3 of those makes a filling dinner on post-work nights when I don’t feel like doing any serious cooking.

  • Grilled Nutella sandwiches. Prepared exactly like a grilled cheese, but with Nutella instead of cheese. Creamy peanut butter is an optional add-on if you want to make a complete mess out of your cast-iron.

  • Del Taco chicken soft tacos, with chipotle sauce instead of white sauce.

  • Jose Ole frozen steak & cheese chimichangas. They’re marginally better than the Tina’s or El Monterey ones that come in multi-packs.

  • Babybel cheese.

  • Totino’s triple pepperoni pizza (also woefully impossible to find these days due to the dreaded supply chain).

Do you mean the ones that are like 8" square? My kids (teenagers) used to love those. Then one day they were like “nope, those are gross now.” The stock in the freezer was eventually donated to a nephew. I haven’t shopped for them since, but they were actually pretty good, at least for a $1 frozen pizza.
