Your Favorite Junk Foods

[DancingMommy]

For me:

Fruity Pebbles

Any kind of M&Ms (plain, peanut, almon, whatever)

McDonald's French Fries & Filet-O-Fish Sandwich

[fascination]

having just finished hurling favorite junk food...I thought hey...this is a good thread to resurrect...so what are yours?


for me: doritos and dip(which I currently don't want to eat EVER again), any fast food, and lemonheads

[Indiana_Jay]

Chocolate chip cookies.

[fascination]

and pudding and jello...and popsicles and fudgesicles

[latingal]

salty: pomme frites, cool ranch or nacho doritos

sour: sour gummy bears, jelly bellies and ropes

sweet: ice cream, chocolate, pastries, donuts, and snickers bars

entree: hamburgers, pizza, burritos, tacos

[Shooshoo]

I don't consider ice cream, chocolate as junk food. It's 'healthy' junk food. I'll add to that nuts, popcorn, pizza, tacos.

I can't resist gummy bears, licorice, candy. This is junk food.

I managed to convince myself that I don't like fries and pasteries. I only eat it if it's excellent quality.

[Purr]

Lay's potato chips with sour cream and onion chip dip

[fascination]

feeling the nausea return

[Peaches]

McDonalds french fries.

Cheez-Its. Any kind. I could eat a box in one sitting.

Panettone. I could eat the entire frickin' thing. Thank god you only find it around christmas.

Sometimes a candy bar, but the kind depends on whatever kick I happen to get myself on. Past kicks include: Skor, Snickers, Peanut Chews, Take 5, Reese's Fast Break.

I can't resist chips if they're around, but I don't generally make a point of getting them.

I'll get on kicks with things, and then I'll "binge" on them--having to get it once or twice a day. Usually it's candy. Giant chewy sweet tarts, Runts, Nerds, Gobstoppers, Sweedish Fish, Hot Tamales...those are past candidates that I can think of offhand.

[Peaches]

Oh...and homemade chocolate chip cookie bars. Got to be bars for some reason, the round-ish cookies aren't as tempting.

If it's around, bread with spinach dip. I make sure to never have it around.

[Sabor]

women .. lol

[fascination]

love spinach dip with pineapple bread...mmm

hey sabor...you should see the crap dh brings home for superbowl...don't EVEN go there

[caityrosey]

Stale marshmallow peeps!!!!

[samina]

not much of a big junk food eater, but when the urge strikes i find it hardest to resist stuff containing processed white floor, especially any kind of cake. which i just love. vanilla cake, white cake, coffee cake... omg, yes.

other than that, cheese & crackers.

and i have my favorite chocolate bar (green & black's milk choc w/ almond)... but i'd never demean that & call it "junk". ;)

[fascination]

"Yorkies" York Peppermint patties
Trader Joe's coconut sorbet (8 grams of fat!! even tho' it's sorbet)
Lindt dark chocolate truffles

KFC chicken, rolls, and potato w/gravy. (Their corn however is truly nasty - total mush...)

pringles potato chips

warm chocolate pop tarts with a bit of melted butter on top

peanut m&m's

Oh, and as far as I'm concerned, Dove Bars are SO not junk food. Seriously. To me, "bad for you" (due to fat content or whatever) doesn't necessarily constitute "junk". To me, junk food is food containing lots of artificial ingredients, preservatives, sat under a heat lamp for hours, etc. Dove Bars seem to contain very "high quality" cream and chocolate, at least to my refined taste buds. :--)

I agree that they are high quality! That's why they are so yummy.

I took the word "junk" rather loosely, I guess...putting "shouldn't eat too often" in there.

Let's see, really junky junk... McD's fries, poptarts, the occasional potato chip...

[Spitfire]

Jelly beans and candy corns.

[Sabor]

dont beleive in junk foods actually.. but junk attitude toward food

had a fling over the weekend with bbq fritos....it happens

had a fling over the weekend with bbq fritos....it happens

That's nothing.... I had a huge fling with eating two chocolate bars in one day over the weekend.... One of which was a large European chocolate bar equivalent to 2 chocolate bars.:mad:

Ran 15 K the next day... am feeling a little better now:D

[SlowDancer]

Orville Redenbacher kettle corn. I could eat it all day long.

Cheeseburgers. Starburst candies. I also like different pastries sold in our European deli store. They have those shells filled with cream.

Using the above definition and given it's that time of year, I'll have to go with Marshmallow peeps.

I can't wait to see the comments on this one.

[fascination]

dh has been known to fish peeps out of the trash...he has a real thing for them...paticularly stale

[witchphd]

...paticularly stale

Is there any other kind? Oh, and they are preferrably the yellow color, maybe the purple ones, but none of those newer colors.

[Me]

When I am in a 'really bad place' I dive into Wavy Lays and onion dip. Mmmmm....

[caityrosey]

Is there any other kind? Oh, and they are preferrably the yellow color, maybe the purple ones, but none of those newer colors.

I used to think it was just me who liked them stale...preferably three days stale.

The only color I don't like is the halloween black cats...they're actually a dark purple, which is not a flattering color for my tongue.

[fascination]

oh yea...see the lunch threads...rolls eyes

[SlowDancer]

Is there any other kind? Oh, and they are preferrably the yellow color, maybe the purple ones, but none of those newer colors.

I prefer my peeps pink.

[Peaches]

Mmmm...stale Peeps...

Now, the real question is...bunnies? chicks? or other?

Personally, I like the chicks b/c I like to start with the beak part and nibble that off, and then bite off the head. I just don't get the same satisfaction from the bunnies' ears. As for color--yellow, pink, and light purple are all good. But they've got to be really stale. (Ditto for circus peanuts--love 'em, but they've got to be stale, and then smushed flat.)

I'm not much into the other new-fangled shapes and colors for peeps.

[fascination]

you people are sick

[chachachacat]

There is something about stale Peeps, almost a little crunchy on the outside, especially that beak peak!

[witchphd]

Mmmm...stale Peeps...

Now, the real question is...bunnies? chicks? or other?


I used to get both bunnies and chicks, but lately there just doesn't seem too much to the bunnies even though you get more of them. So, I'll stay with the plump peeps. And I stand corrected, yellow or pink, not purple.

I'm not much into the other new-fangled shapes and colors for peeps.

A friend at work who is really appalled that I like peeps got me the cookie flavored christmas trees (I think they were trees). I have to say they were awful, the cookie flavor was more of a cookie aftertaste. I'd have a moonpie before I ate those things again. Oh, wait, that doesn't count, my afternoon power snack in graduate school was grapefruit juice and a moonpie.

[latingal]

Okay, gotta' tell you, stale colored marshmellow things don't do it for me.... *grin*

But for the rest of you, enjoy!

[Shooshoo]

What's peeps?

[latingal]

What's peeps?

They're, well for lack of a better description, marshmellow(s) that been shaped into a little yellow chick and, if I remember right, have a light sprinkling of sugar over them.

They're treats that usually come out around Easter.

You can also get bunnies, cats and pumpkins if I remember right (some of them are for Halloween). I'm sure I'm missing some, but you get the general idea.

[Shooshoo]

Thanks latingal. I was suddenly so lost, a junk food I don't know of.

[Peaches]

you people are sick
Look. I don' wanna' hear about US being sick, when you're the one who eats...what was it...cream of something (potato? mushroom?) soup straight from the can. Or breadsticks dipped in cold tomato sauce.

What's that about pots and kettles, or glass houses?

I was being helpful. ShooShoo did not know what peeps were, so I provided her with information.

And of COURSE you have to have a favorite part to start eating--with chocolate easter bunnies it's the sugar-dot-eyes, followed by the ears, which is really only so you can bite off the head.

Sheesh.

2 or 3 days. Depends on how dry the air is.

I can't believe somebody actually knew the answer to that....

[samina]

may have to get some peeps just to try this out... there is a WALL of them that greets me everytime i step into my local grocery store...

does color matter, ladies?

[Peaches]

Opinions vary, but generally speaking, yes. There was a discussion of this a few pages ago...

[samina]

will check out... probly glossed over it as, well... i haven't ben peepified yet.

[quixotedlm]

missing cultural context here... what are peeps? :confused:

[thespina13]

I used to love stale honey-dip doughnuts. The plain yeast doughtnuts with a clear glaze on them. I don't know if they make those in the States, with your Krispy Kreme madness... but the ones here at Timmy's rock ass. I don't know why but my brother and I had to eat the stale ones. The fresh ones didn't have the same charm.

And chocolate with stuff in them. Like a caramilk bar, or Cadbury's Creme Eggs, or a covered truffle or anything like that. Gotta be chocolat eon the outside, and gooey in the inside. YummmmMMMY

LoL.. yeah, I'm amongst the "sick" people.

[Peaches]

Sorta. Not really. Marshmallows in shapes, covered with colored sugar.

[quixotedlm]

marshmallow - yuck :(
cotton candy - yay!:bouncy:

[and123]

Gummy bears are more sour than sweet. Peeps are pretty much just sugar, sugar, and sugar. But both get really hard if you don't eat them right away. TMJ anyone? :tongue:

[Peaches]

marshmallow - yuck :(
cotton candy - yay!:bouncy:
OMG. How could I have forgotten about cotton candy? I loooooove cotton candy. If I'm not careful, I'll eat way too much and make myself sick off of it.

Important question for you--do you have a color preference? Do you believe the different colors have different flavors?

[and123]

I like the brown (chocolate) peeps.

[quixotedlm]

Important question for you--do you have a color preference? Do you believe the different colors have different flavors?

Of course they do. The pink cotton candy is almost always the best. The yellow ones are next. Green and blue ones are fancy, but they are for less cooler kids ;)

[Peaches]

Yellow? Green? Never seen those colors!

As for the pink v. blue...them's fightin' words. Blue is by far the superior of the colors. Pink is good, too, but it's the girl color.

[quixotedlm]

That maybe so, but that's rellly the 'natural' color of cotton candy (well, it's white, but pink is the most natural of artifical cotton-candy colors ;) ). so that makes cotton-candy the girl color (or the gay color ;) ), so the not-so-gay-men should stay way from it, or just suck it up and eat pink-cotton-candies - like i do ;)

[quixotedlm]

Yellow? Green? Never seen those colors!

clearly, your world is not as colorful as mine ;) :p

[Peaches]

Clearly not!

I should admit that I'm biased. Blue is clearly a superior color (to everything except black and charcoal gray, which tie) to everything else--especially pink.

(Somewhere there had to have been a cosmic mix-up--I really should have been a guy.)

[chachachacat]

Wait - chocolate peeps?

Really? I haven't seen them.

I got purple peeps, 'cause I'm a purple peeple eater!!! Haaaaaa!

[Zhena]

As for the pink v. blue...them's fightin' words. Blue is by far the superior of the colors. Pink is good, too, but it's the girl color.

But a hundred years ago (more or less), pink was the boy color and blue was for girls. Pink was masculine because it is related to red, the color of blood and fighting, where blue is more soothing ...

Funny how things change.

[Zhena]

All this talk of peeps reminds me of my Easter craving. My family never had peeps, so I didn't develop a taste for them, but for years now I haven't been able to find jelly bunnies. They were made of the same sticky (but not too sticky) jelly-like substance as orange slices and, also like orange slices, covered in crystal sugar. They came in different colors, each with its own flavor. They were shaped like bunnies in profile, about an inch big, with ears that were outsize in proportion to their bodies. I have asked at candy stores, and have searched on-line, but it seems they are not being made any more. Last year I found something that looked similar on the Williams-Sonoma web site, but they were more like gummy bears -- horribly expensive gummy bears (OK the flavors were better than standard gummy bears). They weren't what I need. Does anyone out there know what I'm talking about? Does anyone know where I can get some? Note -- I don't want them for their flavor, I know I can buy orange slices or similar candies. I just want my jelly bunnies, and if I could put them in the Easter baskets for my family this year, I would be a hero!

Mmm. At the moment I'm addicted to the Valhrona Extra Amer, 85% cocoa mass.

I've tried going up to 95% cocoa mass but found that puts me over my threshold.

Oh, the peeps are stale and chewy - good!

Perfectly aged peeps! :D

[samina]

i've always gotten them online, but my local health food store carries it now, too. rawfoods.com has the brand i currently have.

fwiw, unroasted cocoa has a strong fermented flavor, tho (the skins are fermented off, and the roasting burns most of that taste off) and isn't "melty" in your mouth. definitely takes a bit of getting used to. it's the after-effects that are possibly yummier than the roasted variety...

I go through junk food phases. Right now Reeses peanut butter cups get me every time.

[Spitfire]

Kind of funny I should see a recent post here as I have just downed a Wendy's Baconator.

[ThisIsNotMe]

At the moment...chips. Any kind. Thin, crinkle cut, whatever. Mostly plain, sour cream & onion, or light & tangy. Usually "Smiths" brand...though I generally go through stages. Its either chocolate (I'm a sucker for anything with caramel) or the chips...

[Spitfire]

And surely we've all munched on junk foods provided at our local dances. :mrgreen:

delicious brownies this last time.

[fascination]

pringles has a new blazing buffalo...slurp...curse them

[danceronice]

I want meat. Of course my iron levels are wacked out right now which always makes me crave meat.

For anyone who wants chocolate, I made the most wicked cake at work today--devil's food, filled with ganache, topped with a mocha fudge frosting.

...It's actually kind of making me sick thinking about it. No wonder as far as sweets go I've been on an ice-creak kick lately.

[fascination]

sweets have no appeal for me with the possible exception of a snicker bar one week out of the month at breakfast time with my coffee

[latingal]

salty: pomme frites, cool ranch or nacho doritos

sour: sour gummy bears, jelly bellies and ropes

sweet: ice cream, chocolate, pastries, donuts, and snickers bars

entree: hamburgers, pizza, burritos, tacos

Hmmm....it's scary that I've been here long enough to forget that I've already posted on this thread....

[Izzy20]

i'm a sucker for chocolate.. pretty much anything (except stuff with whole nuts in it... i somehow just don't like them)

recently I've gotten into tortilla chips with extra salt on them. I inherited an obsession with salt from my dad. It's so bad for me but it tastes so gooooood........

lol.

[lcdancesport]

Oh man.... dirt cake, puppy chow, girl scout thin mint cookies, dark chocolate, peanutbutter, gelatto, devil's food cake, strawberry short cake, my dad's CHEESECAKE, my grandma's chocolate chip cookies...

...nacho cheese Doritos, Goldfish crackers, cheese

Ok I need to stop!

[Peaches]

Recently, and against all better judgement, I tried some of these new Cakester thingies. (Decided to try something new from the vending machine.) They're so wonderfully, horribly tasty. Have had both the Nilla cookie ones, and the Oreo ones...and both are disgustingly good. Am considering asking DH for one of those with a birthday candle in it in lieu of a cake.

Have been craving chocolate chip cookies (Toll House, of course) and/or peanut butter cookies lately. Have all the ingredients for baking them at home. Have resisted so far, but I don't know how long this resolve is going to hold out.

Um...Cheez-Its, Goldfish, macaroni & breadcrumbs, good bread, um...

Went through a Peanut Chew phase a while ago. Oh, and swedish fish. Love me some swedish fish. Oh, and jelly beans...good ones.

[ThisIsNotMe]

Going through a Mars Bar phase right now...
Hehe, my sister's making chocolate cupcakes for our birthday party (yes, we are 16 and 19....who cares!) and she makes the best cakes ever!

I also have a problem with Two Bite Brownies, from Whole Foods. I think I lie to myself and say that since they are from WF, they are not junk food, and then proceed to eat the whole container.

[latingal]

At least your just stuck on the brownies, have you seen the two bite desserts? dang....those latin dresses are getting harder and harder to get in to.

[thespina13]

ANYTHING with the words "two bite" on it. I swear there's an evil chef in a kitchen somewhere cackling gleefully as he rubs his dollar bills together.

[bordertangoman]

banana pineapple and mango smoothies. I buy them for my daughter but end up drinking them myself.

[Peaches]

Two-bite brownies are evil. Brownies in general are evil. Especially the really cheap box kind. I could eat the entire pan and be happy.

Mmmm...Peanut Chews. *chomp*chomp*chomp*

[NURDRMS]

Anything salty...right now it's Tostado chips.

[cornutt]

Popcorn. It has to be cooked in oil. And preferably something like peanut, sesame, or walnut oil. And real butter. And proper popcorn salt.

Air-popped popcorn isn't real popcorn. It's packing material.

What about corn nuts? :p

[samina]

espresso affogato...but who could ever call that "junk"?? so gooooood....

[fascination]

[NURDRMS]

Last night was craving a S'more but couldn't find any marshmallows in the house. So just ate the chocolate and went to bed instead. Sigh

Y'know, I haven't seen any of those things in ages. I used to like them, but they were tough on my teeth. :-(

[chachabelle]

Chocolate anything.

[dancelvr]

What a thread! I'm sitting at work, reading, and feeling excruciatingly grateful that our snack machine is out of order! Ha-Ha

Never understood the whole 'peeps' thing. As a vegetarian, marshmallow is a no-no. Besides...the little chicks always looked so cute to me.

However, on my short list of wicked snacks.....carrot cake with lots of nuts and raisins, and TONS of cream cheese frosting, (Hey.....it's got carrots. Gotta be healthy, right?) a big bowl of red and green plain M & M's around Christmas-time, guacamole-flavored chips and a big tub of french onion dip, chocolate cake, Arby's jamoca milkshake, and panettone! There's NOTHING like a big hunk of panettone, a mug of black coffee, and the time to stop and enjoy them both. Yum!

[_malakawa_]

milk chocolate and pancakes. yummy. :p

[samina]

itty bitty vanilla/coconut cupcakes. yum. love vanilla. love coconut. love good cake...

[emeralddancer]

Hausners eclairs - would DIE for one right now, but they no longer are around. :(

Macaroons with dark choc .... YUM

or the fav standby ... OREOS!

[and123]

Went to the beach yesterday and saw someone selling fried Oreos and Twinkies :shock:
No, I didn't buy any.

I want to say that sounds good .... but somehow thinking it does makes my tummy hurt! LOL

every time i start to read this thread i am hungry. :?

and slavik just bought me a Ferrero Rocher. :cool:

[Stagekat]

Ice cream... of any kind. It's currently banned from my at home freezer. :)

[nucat78]

Funny - I used to love BBQ and sour cream and onion potato chips and Doritos. Now I much prefer plain crackers or tortilla chips for dipping. Had a few Doritos last night and thought, "Man, these are terrible."

[_malakawa_]

i am not such a fan of ice cream. but i like banana split.

what i heard is that people whom don't like watermelon also don't like ice cream a lot.

in my case, that is truth.

[Peaches]

what i heard is that people whom don't like watermelon also don't like ice cream a lot.Not true here! :) I love watermelon...don't much care for ice cream. Now and again I'll have a craving for it, or it'll hit the spot (usually soft ice cream, chocolate and vanilla twist, with chocolate sprinkles), but other than that I could take it or leave it. We've got some that's been sitting in our freezer for god-knows-how-long. I know it's there, but I have absolutely zero inclination to eat it.

[nucat78]

I'm with Peach on the ice cream. I like a pseudo-ice cream banana split at DQ now and then, but I only buy ice cream for my son at home. I do love watermelon.

i'll kill now for my mothers pie with wild cherries. yummy. i know how to make it, but i can't find wild cherries in here. :mad:

[nucat78]

My grandmother and later my dad made an apple pie that cannot be duplicated. I think it was because they only used apples from my grandmother's apple tree. The land there was very close to a swamp and had a lot of iron and limestone in the soil. I'm convinced the soil and ground water chemistry made the apples taste different than anything you can find in a store. At least I've never found an apple (or pie) that tasted the same.

[and123]

Store-bought apple pies are disgusting. I've yet to find one that I like. Mom's lumpy imperfect apple pie always tastes fantastic.

[danceronice]

I can almost never find fresh sour cherries for pies. We used to have a tree in our backyard at our old house, but it died, and the one at the new house has never really thrived. Pies with sweet cherries just aren't the same....

[NURDRMS]

would kill for some Peanut M&Ms right now...

i don't like pies with sweat cherries.

in croatia we make pies a little bit different than in here. we make dough really tinny and really big (almost like a table). i'll make a picture (don't laugh :mad:) just to explain how that looks like.

when you put cherries you also put a little bit of cinnamon and than you roll them, put in a pan and bake them.

yummy.

I'm sorry, malakawa, if this is rude (I honestly don't mean it that way.) but I find your little English slips to be so adorable. I love reading your posts. I mean, you're fun and have good things to say, but your English is so cute.

Kudos, though, for the command you do have. It's much better than my grasp of Spanish ever was (even when I was studying it), and I can't imagine trying to work and write and live immersed in a foreign language.

[etp777]

Agreed, on both points. :) Actually, all three, because yeah, my spanish and portuguese were never as good as your English is.

i don't mean it's rude. feel free to correct me. i am still learning. sometimes i caught myself writing on german :-? (i speak 3 languages (+ my native language) and learning 2 more)

but i am trying to speak correctly. i even said to my students to correct me.

[nucat78]

Ausgezeichnet!

[hustleNflow]

My stepmother is Brazilian, and is still trying to learn English. One of the biggest problems she has is tacking the letter "y" onto everything, as in Portuguese, so everything flows together nicely. The funniest little slip was when my dad and I took her to see King Kong in the movie theater, and she was trying to say the name of the movie. It kept coming out "Kingy-Kongy". Poor thing, she got so frustrated, but all my dad and I could do was giggle :lol:

I have to 2nd that it is adorable. :D

It IS so hard to learn another language as you are older. SO I have english down ... (thanks to my kids urbonics ... what a laugh) but I go to a russian tutor and have cds to learn russian. (as it seems a majority of my studios instructor are all russian speaking ...) plus I figured it was time to expand my mind. Maybe I can use it to get further ahead in life and meet new people. I also want to learn italian and romanian as that is my heritage. Long long road ahead of me. But I am getting it slowly.

Now to just have someone to actually speak with in russian to help me further along. oy veh!

that is what i am learning now with slavik. russian and romanian.

for me russian is not that hard to learn becuse it is a slavic group of languages, so when he speaks slowly i understand almost everything.

romanian is a little bit hard because it is roman group, but i had latin in my high school for 2 years so i have some basics.

[samina]

was craving a bit of cake today. where's the good stuff when it matters?

[delamusica]

Oh man, now I want cake!

Maybe I'll splurge at work and by a brownie for lunch . . . will see if the craving holds. :)

[Chiron]

Dang now I want cake....

[Laura]

I make an amazing carrot cake, with vanilla buttercream-cream cheese frosting. It was my birthday cake this year. It will be my birthday cake next year, too :)

[delamusica]

Yay carrot cake! Truly underrated.

Ate a snickers bar with my banana at lunch. It was a chocolate kind of day. :)

mmmm, I love god cake. My favorite is with ice cream and strawberries, or chocolate in combination with bananas.

I also like Rafaello and cocos square (cookies).:p

[samina]

still no good cake in the vicinity... *sigh*

would sure luv summa that carrot cake, laura. mostly i tend to crave white cake thos... simple vanilla or coconut. may have to search something good out...

[Laura]

I can do an amazing raw foods coconut cake. Or we can just go down the street for it :)

[samina]

yum...

but it's not the same. ;)

[Laura]

Last time I tried making a white cake it was kind of an annoying disaster (I blogged it, you have to go back to July to read it though).

[samina]

i love red velvet cake, too. and homemade whoopie pies. and homemade butter cookies.

i don't have much of a sweet tooth and seem to have lost my craving for junky food in general. except for these sorts of things... but they have to be quality. no fake ingredients. i want the real deal. i'm a total snob in that regard. ;):rolleyes:

[Laura]

I agree, which was why I was so unhappy when I finally had to resort to freakin' Duncan Hines to make my friends' wedding cake :(

[samina]

lol. well, even there there are some tricks to make it better... using mayo instead of oil is a way to enhance the taste & moisture of boxed cakes. haven't done that for many years but... sometimes ya just gotta do what ya gotta do. :)

[Laura]

Mmmm, I make my own mayo :)

[samina]

we are so compatible, kitchen-wise...:cool:

[Stagekat]

Like the Mayo/oil tip ladies thanks! I like to use applesauce instead of sugar in my cake baking... some of the most moist cake EVER.

[flashdance]

For those of us in the UK we have a supermarket chain called Morrisons.

They do gorgeous cakes but the best cake they do is a cream/sponge/custard filled cake with a marzipan outer (green). It's so delicious and like making love to a beautiful woman.

Normal fastfoods like McDoodles/KFC/Burgerking. Not touched them for years. Infact can't think when I last went to one! My dancing is powered by cake!

[Chiron]

This thread is evil... I've finished the cake I made over the weekend and am still hungry... Now do I go to bed or go make eggs in a basket? And why did I already brush my teeth... :(

I've really been into Reeses Whipps here lately. I usually split one with DM before practice. Hey, it helps me to have enough energy:p

I love peach hearts - they're a type of soft jube and they're so nice. I haven't found them in ages though.

Also can't resist pretzels.

I've never actually tried a real pretzel - I usually eat the biscuit ones covered in salt.

Had a delicious piece of cake yesterday...chocolate with whipped cream frosting, not too sweet, and I think it was a couple days old so the cream had seeped in nicely & made it extremely moist.

Perfection...except for the small serving. Was over in a blink.

[QPO]

fruit tingles are good, I don't know if you get them in the US, on the cake front I love berlina, whole round donuts filled with Jam. Biscuits I love shortbread, suffice to say I have none of these in the house. ;-)

Scharffen Berger 60% bittersweet chocolate bars. My favorite way of enjoying chocolate while "dieting." I'll go have some right now!

Blueberry Muffins!

[NURDRMS]

Friday mornings usually mean I get to have a donut (cinnamon sugar covered cake ones are the best!) but not two weeks before a comp.

[hustleNflow]

Blueberry Muffins!

I just made some...my special crumb-topping recipe. *Nom nom nom nom nom*

Pro and I came to realize last night that our mutual favorite food was meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Yah, meatloaf is pushing it a bit as a "junk food", but its usually so fatty that it's right up there with chips and sweets. Good mashed taters are usually pretty loaded too, what with all the butter and sour cream. :cool:

[nucat78]

Ever bake a whole egg into the middle of the meatloaf?

Try using olive oil and garlic instead in the taters. Talk about comfort food and the fat is better than butter and sourcream.

[Lioness]

Hehe, I did that as well, with a crumb topping.
Apparently they were nice but the blueberries weren't very.

[samina]

Ever bake a whole egg into the middle of the meatloaf?

i used to do that when i cooked as a kid. loved the effect when you'd slice the meatloaf up.

[Chiron]

Good grief, when did blue berry muffins, meat loaf, and potatoes get put in the junk food catagory... Next thing you know people will be talking about eggs and peanut butter...

If you'll excuse me I think I need to go deep fry a snickers bar...

[Standarddancer]

cheese cake, chocolate chipped cookies, M&M's, BBQ potato chips

[and123]

:shock: PMS, anyone?

[nucat78]

Anybody ever try deepfried pickles? Do I have to travel south of the Mason-Dixon Line to get some?

[Lioness]

:shock: PMS, anyone?

Nah, definitely not one of my favourites...:p

[Peaches]

Donuts. I've got an incredible weakness for donuts. And I've come to the conclusion that donut holes are evil, on par with two-bite brownies.

Reese's Puffs cereal. Damn, that stuff is addictive.

[pinkstuff]

Donuts & chocolate brownies
Used to love twinkies when I was younger - something to do with my mother refusing to buy them.
