What are your all-time favorite secondary foods?

In My Humble Opinion
1

I define secondary foods as things you couldn’t base a whole meal around. Reading several threads on food over the last several days has made me think a bit about this.
Personally, I LOVE a good kosher dill pickle. I used to really love Claussen pickles too. I still like them, but nothing tops a good kosher dill, warm or chilled. I have a gallon jug of them in my fridge now that is only 1/3 full. I bought it just two weeks ago.
Another of my hankerings is Swiss cheese. I have been known to consume a half-pound or more of this doughy white dairy product at a sitting.

God, I just thought of something. A cheese and pickle sandwich!

Maybe I should re=define “secondary foods” as things you wouldn’t use as the main course if guests were coming over. I know I could eat a whole meal out of cheese and pickles, easy.

Kosher Baby Dill Pickles
Macaroni and Cheese
Buddig Beef
Green Olives stuffed with Pimiento

And yes, I’ve been known to make a meal of the above.

Green Giant Frozen Asparagus Cuts - box is 2 cups, with just enough liquid to cook in - I eat the entire box, sometimes mixing in salsa, or 2% shredded mozzerella, or a laughing cow cheese wedge. Yummy.

Caffeine cookies: make regular chocolate chip cookies, but add 1/3 cup very finely ground coffee to the butter.

Hell. Yeah.

If you wanna get fancy, toast some hazelnuts and throw them in with the chips. Then it’s Hell. Freakin. Yeah.

I’ve made a meal out of those, but regretted it.

Fried clams and chicken wings. Also, I made some scotch eggs sometime before Christmas, and I rather liked those as well; I’ll have to try those again.

Of course, neither of these are a meal by themselves without two liters or so of Pepsi, Coke, Dr Pepper, etc.
