What food is really trashy that you enjoy in spite of the fact that it
may not be good for you?

My guilty pleasure is Ramen Noodles.

I make them with half the water... add a little butter and whatever
left-over meat I have on hand. If we have any, I'll throw in some green
onions. Maybe a dollop of hoisen sauce and some sriracha for a touch of
heat.

Yes, I know they are no good for me and the sodium content is sky
high.... but if it were health food, it wouldn't be a guilty pleasure.

Grilled cheese sandwiches made with velveeta. We had them last night
but added thin farmers market heirloom tomatoes. I just love that
combination.

I like it like that too. I like to add some frozen stir fry
vegatables too.

I abhor red licorice. I buy black Twizzlers in 1 pound packs, 12 packs
at a pop... I'm on auto delivery from Amazon, I get a shipment every
three months.

Try ramen with cubed spam... also good with hillshire kielbasa... but
not both together, mixing spam with hillshire kielbasa is TIAD

Okay. I am going to live to regret this, and I don't even KNOW
how I discovered this trashy pleasu Combine one can of Hormel
Chili (I like the one with beans--actually I usually don't even
eat Hormel chili, so it is odd to say that) and a can of Chef
Boyardee Ravioli--not the minis, the larger, beef (or maybe I
don't want to know) filling. Add chili powder--maybe some ground
ancho chile and some Tabasco too. Eat. Heat if you are that
ambitious. (And I don't recall how I happened to have that
ravioli either, since I hadn't eaten it since I was a kid and had
it at a friend's house--maybe I was sick and craving something
with a slimy texture????) So, this is all a mystery, but it is
cheap and fills one's hunger for such garbage.

Sort of a chili-mac on crack. Sounds tasty, but about a weeks worth of
fat and salt quota.

Luckily, I don't sink that low very frequently. Hmmm. I had such
a bad day... Looking back, if I had gotten home earlier... But,
no, it was late, and I didn't even think of it.

A Big Mac and a chocolate Triple Thick Shake. And yes, please. I'll
have fries with that.

Homemade mac and cheese in whatever form, sometimes made quickly with
Ramen noodles, sometimes regular pasta, with or without whatever protein
is convenient be it tuna, shrimp, chicken, etc.

A friend told me she found many varieties in a chinese owned shop in town,
I'll have to try them.
My guilty pleasure is a mile long list, so I'll have to pick one, let's
see...
Oh, yes, the infamous gnocco + insalata capricciosa + golfetta! Gnocco is a
kind of focaccia with pork lard in it and on top of it, insalata capricciosa
is pickled veggies (bell peppers, celery, carrots, cucumbers...) julienned
and mixed with mayonnaise, and golfetta is a big, fine grained salami to be
sliced thin.

Insalata capricciosa in very quick and easy to prepare, here's a picture and
a recipe for insalata capricciosa:
http://www.lospicchiodaglio.it/index...a&elemento=890
The recipes reads:
80 grams mixed pickled julienned veggies (carrots, bell peppers,
turnip-celery or "sedano-rapa")
40 grams mayonnaise
Drain the veggies, rinse them under cool water and pat them dry. Mix them
with the mayo. Let them rest in the fridge for at least an hour before
serving.

Here is the infamous gnocco:

Peanut butter on white with mayo and kosher dill pickle slices.

Or, perhaps, nacho flavor Dorito chips to scoop up 4 % cottage cheese in
large dollops.

Or, perhaps cheap Ramen with about half the water, all of the beef
flavor packet, and a lot of Cheese Whiz.... maybe 1/2 cup.... soupy.....

This is an appropriate thread to mention a junky street food I tried
recently -- Frito Pie's cousin, the walking taco. It was new to me.
It's a snack-sized bag of tortilla chips cut open across the top then
topped with seasoned taco meat, lettuce, tomato, onion, and taco
sauce. It makes a little taco salad in a bag.
