[Wise Cheez Waffies](http://www.wisesnacks.com/products/other-snacks/cheez-waffies.aspx). A “cheese blend” product which is artificially sharpened with chemicals rather than by ageing, it’s pretty nasty. But I still want some. Now. ---

It’s not disgusting to me, but I love chaat masala, which does have the unfortunate trait of having a bit of smell of rotten eggs. But it’s SO GOOD. I put it on watermelon in the summer and eat bucketloads of it. I could finish a BIG watermelon all by myself in a couple of days if I have chaat masala. Same with kala namak, or black salt, which is actually pink - weird funky smell, but OH HOW I LOVE IT. ---

I’m absolutely craving a double quarter pounder from McD’s right now. Considering how fattening those things are, it’s pretty disgusting. One of my favorite snacks when I’m feeling bleh is ketchup & crackers. Most folks find that disgusting. Same for Twix Javas. I could eat those things by the case load. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find any for over a year now. ☹ ---

Funyuns. I’m sure they’re terrible for you and that the ingredients list is a mile long (I haven’t looked). Doesn’t matter, I love them. I suppose tuna salad should go on this list seeing as it makes your breath smell like a sackful of assholes. ---

Canned oysters on saltine crackers. And not good, tinned, smoked oysters. Nasty cheap ones packed in water, especially the kind that Aldi stocks. ---

Stinky tofu. Smells pretty awful, but I eat some whenever I get the chance. ---

Chipped beef on toast, aka “shit on a shingle.” Once a year or so I break down and make it, to the horror of everyone I know ---

Vienna sausage and potted meat. Learned to love them both as a child but can’t bring my buy them since I’ve learned to read the ingredients. Pickled eggs. Some call them disgusting but they are wrong. Same with pigs feet. ---

> [@Maiira](#): > > I suppose tuna salad should go on this list seeing as it makes your breath smell like a sackful of assholes. I’ve been on a rather restrictive diet for a few weeks, and one of the things I’m looking forward to (when I get to the low-carb part) is tuna salad. At lunch time today I was wanting a hotdog. I haven’t had a hotdog in years, possibly a more than a decade. My inner fat girl must be taking all my childhood food memories out for a walk to get me to eat something. ---

Just this week I bought my two (2) annual cans of genuine SpaghettiOs. With meatballs, thank you very much. Ate 'em for breakfast two days in a row. That should hold me until next March. ---

I’ve been jonesing for some kimchi recently. I stopped in at a local Korean noodle place a few days ago ready to stuff myself and, upon ordering, the counter girl wrinkled her nose and said “No, you don’t want that. It’s very bad today, I don’t think you should eat.” It only made me want it even more ☹ ---

> [@shiftless](#): > > Vienna sausage and potted meat. Learned to love them both as a child but can’t bring my buy them since I’ve learned to read the ingredients. Yeah, when the first ingredient is “mechanically separated beef, chicken, pork…” its pretty off-putting! Mine is Cheetos, puffed or crunchy. Nasty artificial cheese dust stains everything they touch, they are horrible for you, they stick to your teeth…but I love them very much with a sammich and a cold, tall glass of milk. ---

I love chicken gizzards. My dad and I used to bicker over who got the chicken gizzard when we roasted a chicken…while the rest of my family watched in horror. ---

Kraft Dinner. My body hates the glowing orange dye and I always feel like crap after I eat it, but I have an overwhelming craving for it every few months. I don’t usually indulge the craving, though. Also, Zoodles. Because Zoodles are _the shit._ ---

The turkey neck, boiled and then coated in salt and pepper, is the best part of Thanksgiving. ---

Sardines and kimchee, with some garlic-chile paste and sriracha sauce. I’m not allowed to eat it indoors unless my wife will be gone for at least 24 hours. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/disgusting-foods-you-crave/617079.md?page=2)
