Food that should not exist.

The canned chicken looks fine to me - the jelly stuff is just what chicken stock looks like when it’s cold. I don’t imagine it’s anything like a fresh roasted chicken, but I can’s see it being worse than the average canned meat product. Duck confit looks pretty grim when it comes out of the can (or jar), but it’s good.

I think you’re talking about those doughnuts in a bag, right? They usually have so much hydrogenated oil in them that they are still pretty moist. My wife loves those things. I’ve never found them to be overly dry, but we usually don’t buy them much anymore.

“Sandwich slices.” Almost cheese, but not quite. For the extra buck, I’ll get the real thing thanks.

Little Chocolate Donuts[sup]TM[/sup], the ones with the flavorless yellow cake covered in a thick layer of waxy chocolate, can hit just the right spot on those infrequent occasions when I have a yen. A quart or so of chocolate milk helps them down.

My submission for this thread is Head Cheese. It’s chunks of discarded animal parts suspended in gelatin. There’s no “Cheese” about it. I’ve never met anybody whose ever eaten this stuff. It’s very existence seems based on a dare.

Crack doughnuts, ha!

They come in bags? The ones I’m talking about come in a box, generally in a multipack with both plain and chocolate doughnuts, but I’ve also seen them in little plastic-wrapped packages sold separately. I’m not sure if all store bought mini powdered doughnuts are created equal, but the ones I’m talking about are just terrible.

This thread is hard for me to think of anything for. I may not particularly like a certain food, but there is always someone who eats it, often for cultural reasons, so I can’t really say any food shouldn’t exist. It just doesn’t sit right with me to say so.

Now I can think of a ton of things people eat, but no one would consider it “food.” Most of those things are NSFW though.

mmmmm, Vienna sausages and potted meat food product- I wish I could duplicate the distinctive spiciness of them without the salt!

I like the little doughnuts. Mostly the chocolate ones, but I’ll also eat the powdered and plain ones. And just for variety, I’ll eat the coconut ones too!!

I also vastly prefer Cheese Nips over Cheez-Its.

:smiley:

You better not be knocking the donuts of champions.

I usually see them in bags identical to this one.

Fruitcake? here, just send me all the fruit cakes you get for xmas and don’t want.

I love fruitcake, as long as the fruit isn’t too bright and artificial-looking.

Muh. Ignorance fought!

Spotted Dick.

Ok, so it is actually cake in a can, I think - the food looks OK, but they should probably change the name.

Twizzlers. Licorice is one of those things that I will eat as a last resort, if I’m in just the right mood. If I find myself willing to snack on some licorice, it had better be real licorice and not no damn waxy Twizzlers.

I hesitate to offer maraschino cherries because inevitably one of you cretins would pipe up and say “Maraschino cherries? I live off the stuff! And I bathe in the syrup! Can’t get enough!” and totally gross me out… but here goes. Maraschino cherries.

*Also cue the guy that says he loves it in his Manhattans. I pit the lot of you.

Margarine.

Guess that makes me a cretin! :smiley:

All my years reading and participating in SDMB, and it took this thread to make me realize that…gasp…some people like things that other people don’t!:eek:

Lots of fat free dairy is like this.

Sour Cream: Delicious!
Fat Free Sour Cream: Gloop!

Cream Cheese: Delicious!
Fat Free Cream Cheese: Paste and sawdust!

Fat free milk is ok, though it does have serious mouthfeel issues.
