Doper Food Confessions

Pringles has those single-serving cans, too. Lately they’ve started coming out with some really tiny packages that I guess are good if you need a snack while you’re escaping a burning building or something, but I usually just go for the original single-serving size.

I don’t have any of these gross food combo habits that always seem to pop up in these threads. My only meal that really seems to disgust my fellow Americans is one I brought back from my time in Spain. Bocarrones en adobo is anchovies marinated in vinegar, olive oil, and garlic. I like to eat them on french bread in the summer because there is no cooking required.

French fries with mayo… got that one from Pulp Fiction.

Used to do peanut butter + butter sandwiches as a kid, but dropped that one when I became an adult.

… most of the time. :wink:

Other than that, my shocking confessions have to do with the foods I don’t like: cookies, cakes, donuts… almost any sugar and flour combination. The only way I find these foods palatable is with big glasses of milk.

I’m also not a big chocolate fan.

Why do you hate America? :smiley:

I don’t buy cookie dough. I make it from scratch; then I eat it. In the summer when it’s hot, I’ve been known to not bake a single pan of cookies from a batch of dough. I do share with the kids. Some of it anyway.

As for repulsive: I was trained by my mother to eat banana bread with a thin smear of margarine topped with a slice of Kraft cheese. If there are no Kraft singles in the house, I won’t bake banana bread. I have about two dozen bananas sitting in the freezer waiting for me to buy processed cheese slices.

Zingers (like a Twinkie but with frosting) are crack cocaine to me.

If I were not already married, I would propose to you based purely on that post alone. :slight_smile:

I have eaten an entire can of “whipped cream” by simply tipping my head up and shooting it into my mouth straight from the can.

I have eaten an entire can of vanilla frosting right out of the container with a spoon.

Cool Whip is fantastic if eaten while frozen–kind of like Ice cream.

I can eat at least 5 avacodos with nothing but a spoon (dammed freaking oversize pits!!!)

I think I could live on nothing but fried chicken skin and pepsi

A salad is nothing more than an excuse to eat all the bacon bits, sunflower seeds and crunchy chinese noodles covered in bleu cheese dressing as the plate will hold.

These healthy eating tips have given me the body that i wear today–and a strong aversion to mirrors.

Oh, heavens, no. I mean, if you like it, fine, but the Only True Taco Chip Mouth Orgasm is as follows:

  • Get a flat microwave-safe baking dish.
  • Spread 1 package of (softened) cream cheese in the bottom.
  • Top with 1 can of Hormel No Beans Chili (I like the turkey kind).
  • Top with 1 small can of chopped green chiles (as spicy as you like 'em).
  • Top with 8 ounces of shredded cheese-- mixed cheddar + mozzarella, or cheddar + monterey jack, or just mixed taco cheese.
  • Nuke for 5 minutes on high (uncovered) and eat with taco chips.

Unfortunately, I don’t think we can get Hormel No Beans Chili here in Bangkok, because I’m dreaming of this right now…I’ll be in my bunk.

I used to get liverwurst, and brown sugar & cinnamon Pop-tarts. Make a sandwich out of them, and eat.

Then chase with grapefruit juice. The real stuff, not this namby-pamby pink sweet stuff.

I have so many food confessions… I don’t even know where to begin.

Peanut Butter and Cinnamon Sugar sandwiches… I make them only in secret.

I like to grab a tub of cool whip and graham crackers and use them like chips and dip.

My favorite type of toast: Sourdough bread with vegemite, 7 year old cheddar, and sun-dried tomatoes on it.

Now that there’s three of you freaks, I’m nearly tempted to try this…but I balk at the white bread. Can peanut butter and mayonnaise be properly eaten on whole wheat?

We should do lunch…

Oh, I doubt it, Dung Beetle!

You cookie-dough eaters reminded me of a habit I fortunately dropped several years ago: individual-serving cookie dough. I’d get some butter or margarine out, mash up some sugar in it, and add flour until it resembled dough. I’d often throw in oats, too, and maybe brown sugar.

This also was how I finally came up with my favorite breakfast/snack, a cult of which I am slowly creating across the nation. One time I was out of butter, so I substituted vanilla yogurt, and just dumped in uncooked rolled oats. NIRVANA.

Eventually I branched out, and started adding wheat germ, flax seeds, chopped nuts, cut-up fruit, etc. – especially when I was pregnant. Most of the time all this stuff went straight into the large-serving yogurt container. Most of my babies were gestated on this mixture. :smiley: Well, that and Subway sandwiches. The whole footlong, natch.

I’m quite fond of Marmite, BUT only when two conditions are met:

  1. It is served on toast
  2. With margarine, olive spread, or butter.

Marmite and Vegemite are both spreads that you basically have to have grown up with to fully appreciate. I can’t stand Vegemite.

If you’re not from Australia, New Zealand, the UK, or South Africa you really can’t get involved in this debate, so don’t try. :smiley:

Yeah, I can’t think of anything I would eat that is anywhere near the “ew” caliber of some of the stuff in this thread.

I like ranch dressing w/shitty pizza, toasted ravioli, and chicken fingers. That’s from working at a pizza place for 4 years and getting tired of crappy pizza, ravioli and chicken strips. But most of my friends do this too, and most use a LOT more ranch than me.

If I am desperate, broke, and too lazy to make grilled cheese, I will make “preschool sandwiches” that are american cheese and mustard. Because that’s what I got in preschool sometimes. But they’d draw a smiley face with the mustard, I don’t do that.

When I was a kid I’d add sugar to my peanut butter sandwiches. Thanks for starting that habit, grandma! I’m finally totally over it now though.

::hurk:: Sure…sure you can…::hurk:: Actually, I used to do that with Home Pride wheat bread, which is like Home Pride white bread with food coloring. The main thing is that the bread has to be soft and floppy. I will admit to having this delicacy on a baguette when overseas, however. Desperate men take desperate measures.

I made a chocolate cake and then went to make the icing while it cooled. Well, I never use a recipe for icing, just mix icing sugar, bit o’ butter, vanilla, milk to thin until it’s right. Well, I kept getting the proportions all wrong, so by the time it was ‘icing’, I had way too much. The leftover went in the fridge.

Mm… It was like candy. Soft candy. Then I added some cocoa to it. I had chocolate icing candy in the fridge. I meant to bake another cake to use up the icing, but somehow the icing got used up just by itself…

And it was good.

Also, I have eaten peanut butter toast for breakfast since I was a wee, wee lass, and still do most days now. I will probably go to my grave eating peanut butter toast for breakfast. I’m so sophisticated.

I think I love you! (I collect vintage Mad Magazines.)

Chips are just a vehicle for putting dip into my gullet. Especially if it’s Old Home French Onion Dip. This is why we rarely have chips and dip in the house. I have been know to just spoon up the dip, if we’re out of chips.

French fries and dill dip. TheKid is a freak for fries and chocolate shakes, or fries and that catsup/mayo blend stuff that I can’t find here in Minnesota.

Hard boiled egg yolks, sliced, on a dill pickle. Or, a hard boiled egg yolk on braunschweiger, on soft white bread with Miracle Whip. Nom nom nom. I hate the white part of hard boiled eggs, unless in egg salad.

PB and banana on toast. PB and potato chips on fresh white bread.

Taco Bell.

I love Totino’s Frozen Pizza. This, I know, is due to it being the only kind of frozen pizza my mom would buy when I was young.

The only way I can eat mac - n - cheese is with canned peas on top.

Frosting, using graham crackers as a chip to dip.
