Beer. Lots of beer.
Yes, I consider beer food.
Veal, foie gras, sweetbreads, baby seals and the braised labia meat from my mother’s vagina. Mmmmm, vagina meat…
Big Macs. Never a QP, rarely a double cheeseburger. It has to be a Big Mac. Then I have cravings for a week or so afterwards. If I can get through that, it’ll be 6 months or so before the next craving.
The other deadly craving is White Castle. There is nothing worse than when I succumb to desire, I get tough, dried out buns. The craving is not fulfilled. The bun has to be melty.
Since I have 3 stents in my chest, I try to avoid fried and greasy food. But once every 2-3 months or so, I loves me some Long John Silvers. I’m aware that everything on the menu probably shortens my life expectancy by a few months, but that batter dipped fish and chicken is sooo good. Throw in some hush puppies and cheese curds too! :eek:
My wife and I went to a restaurant downtown (Meat & Potatoes) for our anniversary last year. We got a 34oz Ribeye steak with confit potatoes and a huge bone filled with marrow grautin on top. Neither of us really liked the marrow, it just tasted like grease. We tried dipping the potatoes and steak in it, but it didn’t do anything for us. Everything else we got was excellent though.
It’s a little depressing to see what foods people think are bad for them these days. Steak! Pasta! Corn! Rice! Cheese!
Them damn little hostess cakes - can’t get enough of them.
Sort of… I have friends on low-carb and Paleo diets. Bread = bad, bone marrow = good.
Pizza, I make a point to limit myself to two or at the most, three slices. I could easily eat half a Papa Johns large when I’m hungry. That’s bad.
A box of Cheez-It crackers are a occasional treat. I always eat more than I should. So we rarely buy them. They are loaded in salt. We never buy bags of chips. Too tempting in the house. The only chips I eat are at the deli with a sandwich.
Otherwise I don’t feel guilt for eating.
For some reason, onions and cheese both disagree with me (there are a bunch of other things that do as well, but I like both of these :p). I know that if I eat them I’m going to have some rather bad stomach cramps afterwards. Yet when I see onion rings on a menu I always order them, as well as when I see soft pretzels and beer cheddar cheese (like at one of the local restaurants by my house) I do the same, even knowing it will be some hours of distress later. Same goes for ordering pizza…usually has the same effect.
One of the weird ones that I suspect has to do with my lack of gall bladder is red chili verse green chili. Of course, chili has been part of my diet since I was a baby, most likely, and the only difference between them is how they are prepared and when they are harvested, yet today I can (usually) eat red chili without any issues, yet if I eat green chili I have all sorts of bad stomach issues. Yet, doesn’t prevent me from ordering a big bowl of green chili stew every week during the winter time, or getting green chili chicken enchiladas (with extra cheese to make it even better!, tacos (same with the cheese), etc all the time.
All of these things I do despite my better judgement and the sure knowledge that I’m going to feel pretty crappy afterwards. 
I’m another potato chip guy, but I moderate my intake by just eating them a couple of handfuls at a time. I store them in the freezer. Seriously, try it! IMHO, they’re much better cold.
Have you looked at the Lay’s ingredient list for their plain potato chips? It has 3 ingredients- potatoes, vegetable oil and salt. Hardly fried and dried carcinogenic crap, unless ALL potato chips meet that definition.
Their BBQ chips have more, but that’s mostly because it takes a fair amount of stuff to create that particular flavor.
I need some of this now!
For me it’s spicy food. If I eat anything with hot peppers (which I do all the time), I get to relearn the capsaicin burns twice. It’s mostly worth it.
Awww… does someone lack for attention and need big hug? :rolleyes:
Those snack-sized fruit pies that most convenience stores sell. I usually buy one when I’m out on a bike ride for more than ~2 hours. And I’m reasonably convinced that it takes a much longer bike ride than that to burn off the calories in one of these babies. (ETA: And WebMD is quite critical of them, healthwise.) But I still can’t resist them.
Having a bad case of IBS, I have often had a “is this worth three days of agony?” conversation with myself. Spicy stuff, pasta, heavy breads, ice cream etc.
There’s one with a chocolate pudding-like filling, something like 400-500 calories. :eek: Appallingly bad for anyone, yet one of the world’s greatest treats IMO.
Wait…you eat yourself – AND consider it evil? 
Considering all the allergies I have, it’s amazing I’m able to eat anything at all without some adverse affect on my health or comfort or dubious beauty. There’s still some debate, though, on whether avoiding food altogether would improve or reduce my longevity and, in fact, my wife was annoyed again when she complained, “So you’re willing to ignore your allergies and eat some things but not others. Sounds rather selective to me.”
But there’s a big difference between eating dill and triggering an asthma attack that forces me to take a 3-hour nap, eating saffron and triggering colitis that leaves me in agony for three days and shitting blood for a week, and eating tons of chocolate and triggering a 10-minute nosebleed.
Corn seems to exacerbate my eczema and rhinitis. I avoid corn-on-the-cob because just the steam from cooking it makes my nose run like a faucet. On the other hand, corn products and byproducts are ubiquitous in processed foods and I simply have to put up with minor eczema flare-ups when I eat chicken nuggets. I don’t drink Sunny Delight because it causes major flare-ups, but I’ll drink ginger ale. The concentration of corn syrup in the latter doesn’t cause flare-ups for some reason. I try to avoid popcorn, Fritos, and Cheetos, but they’re very tempting and sometimes I’ll just take a Zyrtec and give in.
Chocolate gives me nosebleeds for some reason. I avoid binging but still enjoy.
Salt, by the way, belongs in the old thread on Common health/fitness myths (q.v.) and was discussed earlier there… Basically the research pointing to salt as a dietary culprit was given only a weak/tentative accusation with a recommendation for follow-up studies – which were never done. Meanwhile, the processed foods industries make no secret of experimenting with salt types and quantities in trying to make their foods more appealing (critics say “more addictive”).
Fat, on the other hand, is well documented as a problem maker. When my mother was 4’11" and 98lbs soaking wet, the doctors said EAT MORE AND MAKE IT FATTY and so I’d cook for both of us and it was a lot of fried and deep-fried foods. It didn’t help her (enough) and although I’ve cut back considerably I still crave French Fries and Potato Chips and Wontons and Fried Chicken and…
Milk is apparently strongly correlated to heart disease. And I haven’t cut back completely. I still crave ice cream and shakes and can’t do my breakfast cereal without milk. And, since it’s The Season, I’ve been making egg nog shakes…I’ve cut way back on my milk intake, but now the doc says “Take Vitamin D pills.” :smack:
–G!
Onions are not my friend but I find French onion soup and onion rings very hard to resist.
is that wrapping bacon around the cakes?
Fried pork skins and big red.
I eat this in private and drive to the nearest dumpster to throw out the evidence.
My family wouldn’t understand.
