I haven’t had one since college, but I used to make peanut butter and bacon sandwiches all the time. Sometimes peanut butter, bacon, and cheese. ---

Peanut butter and mayo sandwiches for me. As for cookie dough, I gawked at the 5 pound bucket Costco sells. It took me a minute to remember that some people actually use it to make cookies. ---

Last night I ate a 6-pack of Peeps that were leftover from Easter. :o That was only because I had no chocolate in the house and had a serious sugar jones. Onion rings give me the nastiest farts, but every now and then I just have to eat some anyway 'cause they’re so yummy. Once my sisters and I were hanging at our house while my husband was out, and decided to do a Romy and Michelle scene for when he got back. We got a tube of cookie dough, some ice cream, gummy bears, Doritos, candy corn, and peanut butter. When he walked in I was eating ice cream out of the carton; one of my sisters was gnawing on the tube of cookie dough; and my other sister was dipping Doritos in the ice cream. And my ultimate confession of food shame: one night many years ago one of my sisters and I were consoling each other–I don’t remember what the occasion was–and went to the grocery store for junk food. We decided that we couldn’t get anything nutritious; it had to be pure junk. So no chocolate milk, as it had plenty of calcium in it. We got a jug of a green Kool-Aid type beverage, along with whatever other comestibles struck our fancy. We were soooooo sick. If there were a barfing smilie, it would go here: :\<\<\<\<\<\<\<\<\<\<\<\< ---

Sort of like the OP, I’ve got a thing for marzipan - the sort that’s meant to be used for baking or decorative purposes. Usually it’s too sweet, but I found a kind made by Anthon Berg, 60% almond content… it comes in 270g blocks, which frankly I’m starting to find a little undersized ☹ ---

> [@Scarlett67](#): > > My ultimate comfort food is Kraft Macaroni & Cheese (Kraft Dinner for you Canucks). Yep, the blue box. Yummmmmm. My newest desire is fried mac and cheese from Jack in the Box. I had them for the first time last night whilst baby-sitting my nephew. I plan on getting some for dinner tonight.

B.M.W.s Bacon and Miracle Whip sandwiches. My own personal answer to the eventual question, “What was the cause of death?” ---

I’m a Taco Bell addict. Velveta is cheese food, but I believe that it’s wasted to simply feed to cheese. 😛 I prefer deli American cheese to deli cheddar on my sandwiches. ---

Pork rinds. Not even the authentic chicarrones (sp?)… I’m talking the ones that have been sitting on the shelf for a month at the 7-11 because no-one else will buy them. Mmmmm… Crispy pork fat goodness. Oh, and microwave popcorn for dinner. ---

Fried pork rinds. But not the wimpy ones in your grocery aisle - the ones you can only find by the butcher counter in the mexican grocery store. Either the big, huge ones the size of your arm, or the smaller ones that still have hunks of meat and fat attached. Zero carbs - I tell myself they’re the ultimate diabetic treat. In fact, I do believe that on the way home tonight… Yes, I know about cholesterol and fat, leave me alone. ---

We decided that we couldn’t get anything nutritious; it had to be pure junk. During my first year of college, my roommate would get incredibly stoned, then go off to the convenience store for munchies. I usually went with him and followed suit. I continued that practice for years, and got my shopping down to a science. A bag of Doritos, a cream horn (or Flaky Puff or Hostess Fruit Pie), and a Charleston Chew. To compliment the bodily nutrition with intellectual nutrition, I’d also get a Mad Magazine. I’d consume all of it in less than an hour. Yes, I usually hated myself the next morning. ---

When I travel, I eat at the iconic tourist places. I prefer the Carnegie Deli over the kosher 2nd Avenue Deli. I want cheese and mayo on my pastrami. I want sour cream on my blintz.
