Foods You are Embarrassed to Like
 

Underwood Deviled Ham

As is, straight out of the can, spread on crackers, preferably Ritz.

Chocolate covered potato chips

Scrapple

As a native Pennsylvanian, I do not consider scrapple embarrassing. I consider it essential.

The one time I can remember being really embarrassed by food was when I offered to cook a roast for the chap I was seeing/ shagging on & off. He earned about 4x more than me, but lived on takeaways. I'd already seen his kitchen and although it was spotlessly clean, it was seriously under-equipped for real cooking. So I bought the whole menu from Icceland (the local frozen food store). They were doing a deal on a joint of meat, yorkshires, potatoes, veg & a dessert. It worked a treat - all it needed was timing.

Big dinner, bloated bellies, slow and tender sex. Until... UNTIL... I 'fessed up to a work colleague while telling of my wonderful weekend. She was horrified. I went from cloud 9 to an inch high. ICELAND? How tacky!

But all's well that ends well. I decide that she was just a fucking bitch, but I dated that guy for 2 years.

Kraft mac n cheese
liverwurst

Is there really such a thing as chocolate covered potato chips?

Thanks to J&J I experienced chocolate covered pretzels...
I ate them all in a spirit of international friendship. But. They are just wrong.
The pancakes have been admired manyfold however

You can prolly get chocolate covered ANYTHING! Here's a chip site. I've had the white chocolate version, too.

I am embarrassed to be proud of liking fish sticks and tater tots.

Cheetos. If you can call them a food.

I can't really say I am embarrassed about what I do like to eat. If it is anything much it comes close to wolf's deviled ham although I do not buy it but once every two years.

I think my embarrassment is about what I do not like much and that is Fritos,Cheetos,brownies,jello and ice cream. I keep thinking I should like ice cream more than I do. I do best with a soft serve or a cone from a shop.

oh and cloud. I love cherrios. No embarrassment there.

You don't like ICE CREAM? Who doesn't like ice cream? Your humanity is in question now!

see! It's a shame.

I do think vanilla ice cream makes a perfect compliment to chocolate cake or fruit. Icecream by it's self it's just meh...ok

Oh, yeah. I love liverwurst too. But only the Oscar Meyer kind that comes in the little plastic tube. The Braunschweiger.

I wouldn't TOUCH liver under ordinary circumstances, but I love that stuff. On crackers.

I used to like Elio's Square Pizza, but they changed the cheese when McCann's bought them out.

There are a lot of foods that I like that I am not embarrased to enjoy, like Cheetos. Or certain types of children's sugary cereals, like Cocoa Puffs and Sugar Pops and Sugar Smacks, especially if there is a good toy surprise inside.

But I guess I am embarrassed by liking Pringles.

Suzy Q's.

I don't

I googled scrapple... ewww

I will on occasion eat potted meat - not as good as Deviled Ham, but cheaper.

that's two people who say they don't like ice cream. I think we're being invaded by aliens.

My best friend in High School didn;t like ice cream either.
She blessed the onset of adolescence - she no longer had to explain herself at parties.

OMG -- Ice cream is food directly from heaven! Not only does it taste good, it makes me FEEL good. Even if it's not chocolate. It's my absolute favorite food.

But about embarrassing . . . I guess I'm most embarrassed by craving junky fast-food like Whoppers, cheesy crap from Taco Bell, White Castles, Chipotle burritos the size of my head, footlong meatball hoagies, etc. This is food for teenage-20 something boys who burn calories like a freight train, not 42-year-old women who really ought to be eating a salad instead. With light dressing on the side.

I get bagged at work for my "left over sandwiches".. Apparently roast potatoe, peas n gravy does not a good sandwich make.

Sardines. On crackers or sandwiches, or right out of the can.

That's why I'm embarassed. It tastes great, though.:blush:

Good one glatt! I also do the same with Anchovies and octopi - right outta the can - Mmmm.

Im not an ice cream fan either. Although I do like an ice cream cone now and again, I detest it next to my cake or pie. I love milk shakes, though they can give me a tummy ache afterward.

Kraft mac'n cheese.

anything from Taco Bell.

Waffle House for hash browns and patty melts.


Tavern food. I LOVE tavern food.

Tavern food. Yeah the only bad thing about playing out is that I'm likely to wind up with a dinner of "shrimp boat" or "chicken finger boat", which consists of previously-frozen deep-fried shrimp or chicken along with a large side order of fries. It is not proper eating, and I hate myself as I shove each piece into my food hole, but I cannot stop. Sometimes I will leave the last 10 fries when I hate myself so deeply that the message gets through to the non-reptilian part of my brain. "Hey you asshole, you're just killing us faster!" "Oh. Yeah. Sorry."

pre-made tuna salad in the foil pack.

great on crackers, cracker.

I'm not a fan of ice cream. From time to time, like maybe three times in a decade I'll go through an icecream fad, but mostly I don't eat it. I don't mind it it, if it turns up on top of a hot slice of apple pie...but I'd rather have cream:)

I am a little shamed by love of McDonald's food. As a brand it kind of epitomises everything I despise in this global age...but the cheeseburgahs rock.

I think that's a fetish, then, not a fad. what are you doing with it if not eating it?

Ahah heh heh. I don't eat it the rest of the tme.

Peeps are my guilty pleasure. I don't even care for marshmallows or most sugary foods. Can't resist those little chicks or bunnies though.

Man I don't know how you could admit that on post #2. Usually it takes a few hundred before somebody says something that embarrassing.

There is NOTHING, I say NOTHING wrong with loving Chipotle burritos. In fact, I think we need to go do a Chipotle run for lunch today. :yum:

Embarrassed about: pringles. All-bran. Fritos. Damn, now that I think about it: any sort of snack-chip. Chocolate cookies from the caf at work.

Gee whiz... and here I thought I might score a few points with the site owner, by mentioning a product from his home state, only to be ridiculed.:(

If it's any consolation I love finger lakes wines.

I'll take that as a compliment from a man of such distinguished taste and remarkable sensibility.:elkgrin:

Peeps?

the way I like them it's 1140 calories, 52 grams of fat. I don't go there anymore.

UT OH...CHOCOLATE COVERED PEEPS?!

...this is bad

Subway chocolate chip cookies

Entertainment. The sticky orange powder all over your fingertips is the price you pay.

Exactly as I got it last Sunday: 555 calories, 20 grams of fat. I got a steak salad with pintos, fajita veggies, corn salsa, pico de gallo and sour cream. No huge problem there, I think. No simple carbs, either. Being a diabetic has a few advantages. It's crazy with the sodium, but hey. Half my daily fiber, too.

...looking at it, I might be better off getting guac instead of sour cream. Something to think about.

Great site, btw.

It's important to note they charge an extra $1.75 for the big glop of guac on top. Highway robbery!!

Yeah. But it's so damn tasty. :yum:

AND that the chips they give you are worth 600 calories

I don't get the chips. Never have, and they've never been offered to me. :confused:

Fajita burrito with barbacoa meat, rice, cheese, hot sauce and corn relish, sour cream. 950 calories, 41g fat, but the real kicker for me is the 2630 mg of sodium, 110% daily value. Yikes! Good for a treat now and then, but not a regular thing!

I had one last Thursday . . . ;)

When I was a young boy my grandmother would make me fried spam sandwiches. white bread,mayo,American cheese. On occasion I find myself at the market in that isle (you know the one). I'll look left,then right,if the coast is clear I snag a can and skulk off to checkout. It's not so much a craving. It's the memories. and it's kinda tasty. There I broke the spam ice.

Hi bruce in OH.

Spam Ice might be a good idea for a desert. Or a beer.

tombstone pizza. it is complete and utter ass, but it reminds me of watching football with my dad when I was really little.

I've never tried Tombstone, but I live on Freschetta and DiGiorno. Got two in the freezer right now.

Amazing just how much mediocre guacamole there is out there. Hit the nicest Baja place in Oxnard (Cabo Restaurant, at 5 Points) for X-Lydia's birthday, and we had their made-at-table guac. It was okay... but it wasn't awesome. (Unlike their flan, which will blow your socks off.) They favor lemon juice. Maybe it needed more of it. I glommed the half lemon they were using after watching the waitress only get about half its juice out of it, and squeezed more juice into the batch they made.

Proper guac is NOT THAT HARD TO MAKE, God and Amster damn it. But it doesn't keep well once opened, and like sushi optimally should be eaten up within an hour or so after making, though a tight covering with Saran Wrap and a lot of lime juice help quite a bit.

1-2 Haas avocados, the lumpy darkskinned kind, not the smooth green ones, they don't mush (but a little of this diced into bits is entertaining)
1 lg clove garlic, minced
1 shallot or small onion, minced
1-2 tomatoes, cut in chunks
Jalapeño or serrano pepper, to taste, minced
Juice of 1-2 limes
Salt to taste -- kosher, sea, or seasoned

Inexpensive if you can get the avocados cheap. The secret seems to be enough lime juice and enough salt. What makes a guac is piquancy and the brightness of the fresh veg in the unctuous background of the smushed avocado.

Halve, seed, and scoop out the 'cados with a large spoon, dropping their meat into a mixing bowl. Mash it up with a potato masher or two forks. I generally do both, getting it down to pretty fine with the masher (the bent wire kind is very good for this, no clogging at all) and finishing with the forks. Add the tomato chunks and the minced everything, stir in. Squeeze in at least the juice of one lime, toss in some salt. Seasoned salt can make an excellent subtle note, particularly if you're seasoning it yourself in your spice grinder: grind a spice, then bang in a dose of salt to clear out the residue. Save the salt, it's yummy. Taste test your guac; you will probably want more lime juice, perhaps even kick in some more minced fresh hot peppers. That's it. There's an awful lot of guac out there that isn't zingy enough; don't be afraid to throttle up. Most of what you put in there is packed with vitamins anyway.

Disclaimer: I am not embarrassed to like these things. I'm merely deeply saddened that so few others know their outstanding wonderfulness. Those who point and laugh don't get the last laugh. N'yeah.

I am PROUD to say I love Fruit Cake!

The guy in front of me in the breakfast line at the cafeteria had:
