Worst foods you love.
I hate that I love it, but... there's this potato chip casserole that seems to have become one of my favorite comfort foods. Potato chips, chream of mushroom soup, and canned chicken.

Nice and artery cloggin.

49. That is an interesting combo
Do you float the Big Mac in a vat of Spaghettios or do you top off the Big Mac with the Spaghettios? I may try one of the two just for the sheer novelty.

2. Fried chicken livers.
I know, gag. My mother cooked them a lot growing up. Even now, when I eat little meat, I still get cravings for them.

4. I occasionally will hit KFC on a Tuesday for their "liver/gizzard"dinner.
Can I hear a resounding "EWWWW!"?
Thing is, I HATE beef/pork liver, but them chicken liver's some good eatin'

10. Chicken Gizzards, if done right, are tasty
Something about them just works - especially if marinated or fried enough to kill the gizarrd taste

15. Oh, yes, gizzards are quite good too.
I haven't eaten them forever, though.

Marinated and fire grilled - you'd never know they were gizarrds

46. Wow--synchronicity--I just ate chicken gizzards for the first time
this week. My mother in law made them, with chicken hearts in tomato sauce. They're just so chewy and meaty and filling. (There aren't too many things, I've discovered, I won't eat if served fried in tomato sauce--but these were really quite good.)

34. mmmmm
chix livers baked in the bottom of the pan w/the whole roasted chix. They get nice and crispy on the outside, awsome with ketchup. :bounce:

6. Pop-Tarts
And, in the "worst mother in the world" category, I actually introduced my 3-year-old son to the addiction (I let him take a bite of my blueberry frosted "it's my birthday and I can eat anything I want" tart). Oh the shame. :blush: (And yeah, he really liked it--even though he doesn't like blueberry OR anything jelly-like. Behold the evil power of the Tart!)

Oh yeah--and the occasional Wendy's craving that I must satiate or it becomes an obsession.

22. Oh, god, those things are like crack.
I picked up the addiction right after I'd just lost 9-10 pounds. Needless to say, that came back in a hurry.

41. As long as they aren't cooked
I love cold out of the box Pop-Tarts as one of those "Why the hell can't I stop eating this?" type of foods. I used to get the brownie and sundae themed ones all the time as a dessert.

Thankfully, I've kicked the habit and haven't eaten one in 3 years.

However, I haven't had it for years. Liver is the holding tank for toxins.

42. Prepared right it is phenomenal
We have a Cajun/Creole fusion place by my house that serves up fried gator as a phenomenal appetizer--it's one of the few dishes I will order every single time I go to a restaurant.

18. Pimento cheese sandwiches
1/4 cream cheese, 3/4 cheddar, some mayo, pimento strips, and I add a little jalapeno too just for some kick. Mush it all up good and slap it between two slices of white bread.

35. I'm an unstoppable snacker.
I always make sure I have at least one chocolate option and at least one salty/crunchy option in the pantry at all times. It's pretty bad, and I need to break the habit, as I'm near to pushin' 40, and my metabolism sure as shit ain't gonna start speeding up.

39. Quite a few actually, which is ironic
I like bbq ribs. I like fried chicken. I like fried mozzerella sticks. I like pepperoni pizza. I like several types of pie. I like ice cream and lots of it. I like loaded baked potatoes. I like mayo, cheese, sour cream, and full fat dressings as condiments. I don't normally like cream cheese, but there are some dip recipes made with it that I really like such as beef dip. These foods, of course, were all on my forbidden foods list when I was anorexic and I did not eat them for two years, except cheese when I had to.
Your worst food isn't really that bad in comparsion.

Edited on Fri Jan-26-07 08:46 PM by TK421
I've been eating this shit once a week at the diner around the corner....I usually want to take a long nap afterwards

edited to add: at least a gallon of near-frozen milk a day ( I'm addicted to the stuff )

44. Quiote
I doubt anybody here has heard of it, let alone tried it.

They are caramelized maguey leaves. Mind you, maguey leaves are large woody affairs, one to two inches thick.

They are baked in high pressure cookers until they turn brown.

You chew them, suck the juice, and spit out the bagasse, just like sugar cane.

Sounds disgusting, but it is delicious. Tastes like a combination of honey and molasses

48. Calimari--deep-fried, plenty of marinara--
I could sit and eat a pound of just that. (I think I may have, at a joint called Oliver's in Baltimore--maybe nine years ago.) And I sometimes get a fearsome craving for bacon cheeseburger--and not like, decent bacon cheeseburger, like, lovingly prepared by someone who shapes and seasons the meat into a flavorful grilled patty of sirloin tastiness, and slides it onto a great bready roll, like a kaiser and then takes perfectly crisp, brown bacon from which the excess fat has been blotted up with a paper towel--oh no. I mean I sometimes get cravings for fast food place (think "Burger King") bacon cheeseburgers, and think "mass quantities" too--those are easy to eat. Like, three, four. I could literally just shotgun those bastids down. (I ride out the desire, I meditate. I drink bourbon and hope the cravings go.)

Oh yeah, and I'm a sucker for cheese--I can make a whole brick of sharp cheddar go if I have crackers and maybe a little salami.

50. Drink. Not juice. Drink.
Dave Chapelle did a bit about "drink" versus "juice." I almost died from laughter, because it is absolutely true for me.

I grew up with drink. Red, purple, green, orange, and blue.

I don't drink sugary drinks anymore, but I can still remember the yummy taste of drink.
