I love to eat ice cream by scooping it up with salty chips. When I do this in public, peoplemoved away from me on the bench.
None of these are really a secret:
- I prefer diet sodas to regular
- I prefer McDonald’s to Wendy’s and far prefer it to Burger King
- I’m fine with MSG and reasonably regularly cook with it. If an Asian place advertises “no MSG,” I tend to avoid it.
- Not only is Spam fine, but I’m a sucker for those deli spiced ham loafs: the regular, the p & p loaf, the olive loaf, etc.
I love basmati, jasmine, and sushi rice. Even have an expensive hi-tech rich maker.
Wild rice or brown rice? I’ll tolerate, but won’t cook it for myself.
Fresh vegies are great. Except green beans. Those must come from a can (it’s a texture thing I think)
I eat the cereal dry, but follow each mouthful with a swig of iced tea. :eek:
Spam is okay by me, as is ketchup on hot dogs.
And I’ve eaten MSG straight from the container.
Always, please, to remember, that there is no such thing as HALF an anchovy pizza. 
I like a hotdog plain in the bun. If at home, spiral cut, and fried in a little butter. If I’m lucky enough to come upon a Nathan’s Hotdog emporium,I’ll take 'em right off the grill. Love those things. Still plain though.
I’m not ashamed to admit that I like Spam, and I love scrapple. I don’t eat either regularly, they’re too unhealthy, but I have them as a special treat.
I sometimes make sandwiches with bacon, sardines, and mustard.
I’ll ashamedly admit that I prefer pizza steaks to regular cheese steaks. I know that’s sacrilegious for someone who lives as close to Philly as I do, but it’s just too dry without the pizza sauce. In defense of my almost-Philly cred, I’ll say that soft pretzels MUST be eaten with mustard, damnit! Anything else is sacrilegious and anti-Philadelphian! I suppose I could forgive eating them plain; but cheese or chocolate? Please.
Oh, that reminds me. I’m not a huge fan of green beans, either. I mean, cooked quickly/fried, I’ll tolerate them, but not something I ever get a craving for or would make for myself. However, long, slow cooked green beans (we’re talking like two hours or so cooking), that I do crave from time to time. For me, it’s not the texture–I just don’t like the flavor of fresh green beans.
So green beans are one vegetable that I like super “over-done,” none of this sautee or steam for a couple minutes stuff that leaves them crisp and fresh tasting.
I didn’t know you could buy it straight up. What does it taste like?
My food confessions:
Spam is godly.
I hate al dente pasta. Make mine mooshy or GTFO.
I would rather eat chicken nuggets than filet mignon.
I prefer those turkey loaf roast things make of ground, squeezed, formed, shaped, gravy-smothered turkeyish stuff to real roast turkey.
In the US, it’s most commonly found as the flavor enhancer Accent. If you’re lucky, I find it simply as MSG in the generic/store spice aisle and it’s like a quarter or less of the price of Accent. It tastes, I dunno how to describe it exactly. Meaty, savory, satisfying, “full”? Bit of salty but not really salt. Parmesan cheese without the cheesy flavor? Once you taste it, you’ll recognize the flavor.
Og forgive me, but I’ve become addicted to Sausage McMuffins. So yummy and cheap and filling …
You haven’t lived until you’ve eaten pizza with anchovies and green peppers. It’s the food of the gods.
I would rather have a breakfast from McDonald’s than anyone’s home cooking (including my mom’s, which used to be pretty darned good). For that matter, the thought of “a home cooked meal”, regardless of whose home and who the cook is, is not appealing to me at all. The social aspect - absolutely- but I really don’t enjoy eating other peoples’ cooking.
For me it’s McD’s Filet O’ Fish (hold the tartar.) As someone with a frequently upset stomach, I find it’s a really tasty light easily digestible soothing source of protein. I can’t be wrong in this, because when I was a teenager I worked at McD’s and we had an insanely high proportion of elderly people order the Filet O’ Fish relative to burgers.
My secret shame is my banana bigotry. I like bananas, but only within a very narrow window of time, before they get a single spot of brown on them, or else I am totally turned off. I also hate combining anything with banana or anything that is banana flavored.
Even worse, I LOVE sausage McGriddles. I don’t eat them but I do love them.
I’m exactly like this. It has to be a spotless yellow on the outside and s spotless white in the inside.
Just seeing a pile of bananas turning black makes me feel queasy. I’m that way with all fruits. I can’t deal with blemishes or dents or imperfections of any kind.
I am obsessed with Cap’n Crunch cereal. I currently have a total of 17 boxes in 8 different varieties. This morning I ate the new limited edition Orange Creampop Crunch for breakfast.
::Looks around furtively and then whispers:: I always order my steak medium well.
My pizza confession: my typical at-home pizza concoction is to make a semi-calzone out of a DiGiorno thin and crispy Pepperoni & Peppers and a Tomato & Mozzarella. I add some olives and minced roasted garlic, underbake them just a bit to keep the crust from being too crispy, flip one on top of the other, and eat the entire mess myself.
No secret: I love beef liver. With lima beans. The perfect meal.
Yeah, that’s pretty much it. Savory. Go to an oriental grocery store and by it by the 1 pound bag if you want.
[sub]I know we don’t call people oriental any more. But is it okay to call a grocery store that?[/sub]
Scrapple rules!
I like to suck the candy shell and the chocolate off peanut M&Ms, collect the goobers in a pile and eat them later.
