Chocolate covered deep fried butter!

…I actually don’t eat that, but I would imagine it would be quite horrible for your health

French fries

gussnarp's avatar

On a daily basis:
My morning mocha.

Once I get started on them:
Pringles. Any flavor. Cheap jalapeno cheese dip.

DQ’s Pecan Mudslide (uh, I force myself to stop eating it, though).

@jaketheripper I was just about to type Volcano Tacos!! I love spicy food, I even put hot sauce on top of them!

aprilsimnel's avatar

@SpatzieLover – I’ll see your cheeseburgers, and raise you bacon cheddar cheeseburgers.It’s not that often, but really, anytime is too often, isn’t it?

SpatzieLover's avatar

@aprilsimnel anytime is too often says any real cardiologist ;)

judochop's avatar

chocolare chip cookies.

I have a Big Mac attack about once a month. I know they’re terrible in fat & calories, but I guess one once in a while won’t hurt me. :-/

Just ate four donuts… horrible

JLeslie's avatar

I love linguine with meat sauce and melted mozerella on top.

erichw1504's avatar

Isn’t Taco Bell a little better than the other popular fast-food chains nutrition-wise? If not, then don’t tell me, because I could eat there everyday.

Judi's avatar

@erichw1504 ; I won’t say a word.

gussnarp's avatar

Oh, those cheap little chocolate donuts where the chocolate seems like it’s made of plastic!

SpatzieLover's avatar

@gussnarp it’s wax bleeeech!

gussnarp's avatar

@SpatzieLover I know it’s wrong, but I can’t help myself!

sakura's avatar

Lurve cabbage with my Sunday lunch and when its on my plate I always want more, my hubby doesn’t like me eating it though!!

poofandmook's avatar

@aprilsimnel: I’ll see your bacon cheddar cheeseburgers, and raise you a Wendy’s Baconator. Please, someone top that ;) lol

SpatzieLover's avatar

@gussnarp Not judging! ;) Do you remember Jim Belushi saying “Breakfast of Champions” to a bowl of little chocolate donuts?

SpatzieLover's avatar

@poofandmook that can only be topped with the need for a quadruple bypass

gussnarp's avatar

@poofandmook Wendy’s knows bacon.

OnaBoat's avatar

Sea Salt & Vinegar Kettle Chips. Dangerous.

aprilsimnel's avatar

@poofandmookOMG, I just looked that up. It’s obscene. And it looks yummy. :/

RedPowerLady's avatar

Soda pop. I am a soda freak. I know how horrible it is, and I mean it is horrible for your health. But I really love it and I drink it all the time (or I did before I got preggo).

scamp's avatar

Crab Rangoon! I’m eating some right now…yuummm:D

poofandmook's avatar

@aprilsimnel: Yes I’m about to talk about my boyfriend again When J was here, somehow we both uttered at the same moment that we were craving one. So we went out and got one, and then we cuddled on the couch in bacon-induced coma together. It was really rather sweet. LOL

SpatzieLover's avatar

@poofandmook Did yu both cuddle tight & hear your arteries clogging, too ;P

poofandmook's avatar

@SpatzieLover: No but we heard lots of gurgles :x

sjmc1989's avatar

The Bacon Turkey Bravo at Panera Bread®. I used to eat it like 3 times a week and I believed it was better for me than a burger. I looked up the nutritional information. BOY WAS A WRONG! However, I still love the sandwhich so now I just cut it down to about once or twice a month. I can’t cut it out of my life completely it’s just too addicting!

poofandmook's avatar

Oh, also… Arby’s Beef and Cheddar. I don’t eat them often, maybe twice a year since I don’t live conveniently near one (plus now that they did away with the trans fats in my area, they don’t taste as good as they do in Michigan)

forestGeek's avatar

Doritos, my archenemy. I lose every time.

proXXi's avatar

If you are talking about food politically, there is no horrible food. I just don’t fall for the guilt thing.

I’m a total foodie and eat McDonalds and Chef Boyardee at times, sue me.

There’s something so seductive about Taco Bell. I’m secure enough in my good taste that I can shamelessly enjoy it.

janbb's avatar

Wise Potato Chips – Don’t eat p-chips often but when I do they have to be Wise.

virtualist's avatar

Cracker Barrel ‘s

Chicken-Fried Steak, mashed taters/gravy on everything with a side of green beans, corn bread and biscuits and butter slathered everywhere ..

…..followed up at home with hot cherry cobbler and a couple of scoops of Haagen Daz Vanilla ice cream .. !

OpryLeigh's avatar

@Facade Good work!

I love McDonalds even though I know it’s disgusting and full of crap. It’s actually my filthy little secret because my boyfriend is dead against McDonalds and I can’t bring myself to admit to him that I have a sneaky burger or fillet every so often. All he knows is that I “quite like the milkshakes and McFlurry’s”. He doesn’t need to know anymore than that.

erikaVT's avatar

Coca-cola.

I used to never drink soda, especially Coke. And now I find myself drinking at least one a day. I know it’s bad!

Les's avatar

Spaghetti-Ohs with cottage cheese. Don’t knock it til you try it. Oh man. I know what my first meal will be when I get back to civilization!

SpatzieLover's avatar

@Les You should add a slice of buttered “cheap” white bread to that dish

Les's avatar

@SpatzieLover – Mmmm… mushy Wonder Bread…

poofandmook's avatar

@SpatzieLover: Hey, when I was a kid, mushy white bread with Weight Watchers soft margarine with canned beef stew… it was gourmet!

Les's avatar

Also, if I could choose my last meal on earth, it would be “Dunk a Bookah”. Take a nice, crusty, bready roll, smear it with butter, and dunk it in black coffee. Simply heaven.

deni's avatar

caramel frappucinos. ugh.

Fred931's avatar

Several different foods at different times. For instance, the last 4 days I went through 2 large supreme Pizza Hut pizzas.

deni's avatar

I have a serious sweet tooth, so pretty much any candy…at one point last year, I worked at this place that was right next to a Dollar Store, so I went through a box of milk duds every day. And then I went to the dentist and had 6 cavities HA~!!!

Supacase's avatar

Pastries. Or cookies, or possibly cake.

DarkScribe's avatar

Peanuts. They have very little nutritional value, are high in calories but I love them.

chyna's avatar

Pop tarts. They have no nutritional value, but I still have them for dinner every now and then.

deni's avatar

@DarkScribe I eat about 5 pounds of honey roasted peanuts every night. Such a bad habit but they are sooo good!

DarkScribe's avatar

@deni DarkScribe I eat about 5 pounds of honey roasted peanuts every night.

Five pounds? That’s well over thirteen thousand calories for just plain peanuts without the honey. One ounce of peanuts is 165 calories. Keep that up and you will be making headlines as they demolish walls to get you out of your house. I love them (not honey roasted) but no more than a handful or so every few days. Seriously if you eat anywhere near that amount you need to stop.

deni's avatar

@DarkScribe ah no, i was exaggerating a bit I suppose. I do eat too many, but not to the point that I think it’s a problem really.

DarkScribe's avatar

@deni ah no, i was exaggerating a bit I suppose.

Exaggerating a lot I hope. I buy them in two kilo plastic containers (4.4lbs) and it sounded as though you were eating something similar to that daily.

buster's avatar

Nerds. They come in little rocks of sugar coated with tangy tooth eroding malic acid. Its the crack rock of candy. I don’t stop til they are gone then i am sad and horribly depressed and sometimes sell my body to get up 89 cents to buy another box.

deni's avatar

@DarkScribe No…I buy those big containers of them too. My stomach would kill me if I even ate ¼ of that in a day.

Bugabear's avatar

Chrystal light. It’s like throwing knives at your liver but it tastes sooooo good.

peedub's avatar

CORN DOGS.

deni's avatar

@peedub If there is a god, corn dogs are his gift to us.

Fred931's avatar

Added: funnel cake when applicable.

OpryLeigh's avatar

@buster I used to love nerds as a kid. I haven’t seen them over here (UK) for ages but I would definately buy them in a heartbeat if I came across them. Dweebs were very similar too.

tedibear's avatar

Doughnuts. They’re about the only food I’m still unable to resist. Truly, if there is a box of doughnuts, I will plan my daily calories around the two or three I know I will eat. I love many of the aforementioned foods, especially the bacon cheeseburgers, but can leave them alone if I must. But doughnuts, they are my kryptonite.

For the peanut people, here is a little blurb I found. And another . The last one is from Whole Foods, so take it FWIW.

jonsblond's avatar

Chef Boyardee Mini Ravioli great for hangovers!

I’ll also eat a whole basket of jalapeno poppers when we go to a sports bar.

figbash's avatar

Philly Cheese Steak. I get these cravings for it than can only be extinguished by eating it for like, 15 meals in a row.

I’d recently kicked the bender, then saw some Philly Cheese Steak nachos on a food show that took place in a ballpark. Holymotherofgod. I’m going to try and rip that one off…

(It had the steak, onions and peppers all mixed together, on top of tortilla chips and then covered in melted pepper jack. Awesome.)

Spam. Meat really shouldn’t come in a can. (Nor should it come out of said can with a gelatinous plop.) But spam misubi is full of yum!
