Serious Eats - seriouseats.com

I used to go to the LA Reader office on Friday mornings to collect my mail, then I'd stop in the chain drugstore nearby to pick up a piece of beef jerky, and a package of vanilla creme sandwich cookies, which I'd eat while driving to my day job. Not together, just back-to-back. Can't remember if I ate the jerky or the cookies first, nor why I thought those would make a good breakfast.

In public I have a reputation of being a health-conscious eater with sophisticated tastes. But in private, I'm actually a crap-eating junkie. Here's my list of sinful indulgences:

Chef Boyardee's Beefaroni with mozzarella
Kraft's powdered cheddar cheese
Ikea's Swedish Meatballs
Campbell's Condensed Mushroom Soup mixed with rice (I like to refer to it as a poor man's mushroom risotto, lol)
Hungry Man's Salisbury Steak dinner
McDonald's Sausage McGriddle, Big Mac, fries, and chocolate/vanilla soft serve ice cream
Burger King's deep fried apple pies
KFC's Original Fried Chicken, potato and macaroni salads, and honey roasted chicken (I first tasted it back in the 90s during a trip to Saratoga Springs. OMG, it was the best chicken from a fast food place ever. Are these still available in the U.S.???)
Jell-O Pudding
Pillsbury Chocolate Chip Cookies
any Pizza Hut pizza (love the greasy crust!)
Red Lobster (all the ones in Montreal closed over 20 years ago. I miss those garlic cheese biscuits!)
canned sardines with French's mustard
canned liver pate spread with Miracle Whip on white bread
Cherry Coke
and a Canadian product: McCain's Triple Chill desserts

God, I feel like such a fraud...

Candy korn, dipped in chocolate syrup followed with salty peanuts.

ok----------sorry!

HERE'S A GREAT SANDWICH--- RYE BREAD-SPREAD CREAM CHEESE, ADD BANANA SLICES, SPREAD PEANUT BUTTER ADD SWEET PICKLE SLICES AND SHREDDED LETTUCE.

HERE'S ANOTHER FOR YOU, DID THIS WHEN I WAS A KID. A COLD BOTTLE(OR CANNED) OF COKE AND FILLED WITH A PACK OF PEANUTS. DRINK AND CHEW!

Crisply fried bacon crumbled into GrapeNuts cereal that is sprinkled with white sugar or brown sugar and soaking in half-and-half.

I've read all of these and contributed a few and I would have to say that someone will come up with a spectacular, lasting combination that will go down in history like chocolate and peanut butter.
Let's don't stop here!!!!!

Cottage cheese and maple syrup - since I was a kid! Maybe it was my mom's way of persuading me to eat cottage cheese - I guess it worked! Pretzels (the saltier, the better) and bananas - don't remember where I got this one! Potato chips with pineapple cream cheese spread on them - college days craziness, but sooooo yummy! I guess it's the salty-sweet thing. One of the guys I went to college with used to lift up the top crust of his apple pie and pour on some ketchup! I thought this was really wierd and was too afraid to try it, but my sister worked for the Heinz experimental / developmental kitchens at the time and they tried baking apple pies with ketchup, so maybe it was more popular than I thought. However, it never went anywhere, I guess other people were afraid, too!
Anyway, this same guy also ate Milkbones dog treats, so there you go!

Left over spaghetti sandwiches.
It was more of a need than a pleasure. ha ha.

Microwave popcorn with Hershey's syrup poured on top. Peanut butter and bread and butter pickle sandwiches. Cream cheese and hot pepper jelly on any type of cracker. French fries rolled in pickle slices and dipped in ketchup and mayo combination. Salami rolled with cream cheese. Hot dogs on a bun with cream cheese, ketchup, mustard, and relish. Saltine crackers with grape jelly.

I like ice cream and popcorn. You have to eat the popcorn really quickly though, so it doesn't get soggy. Best with Ben & Jerry's Chubby Hubby.

Also, challah and whipped chive cream cheese.
