Macadamia nuts. I can't have them in the house anymore. Once I bought a three-pound bag of them, and then I ate a three-pound bag of macadamia nuts. In one day. They're way too fucking expensive for that, and high in calories.
That's me with pistachios. Once it became possible to buy them pre-shelled I knew I was in financial trouble because I can eat them non-stop. I need the shells to rate-limit myself.
Ah, the classic Queensland bush nut from Australia.
It has taken the world by storm.
And rightfully so, it is the king of all nuts, without a doubt.
It has no peer, and I don't blame you.
They are perfect by themselves but if you add a little bit of garlic salt to them or some other flavoring they are just beyond belief.
The area where they are originally from in Queensland has obviously the world's largest producers, and some of their specialty herbs and spices they put on them just are unbelievable.
I've been on an apple slices and peanut butter kick lately. My grocery store has been selling big bags of granny smiths for $5 and I'm going through them so quickly
I love mashing a can of tuna, mayonnaise, and sweet relish together in a bowl and either horking it straight or using it like dip on potato chips or doritos. Probably the most aggressively white and fat thing I do but it tastes good to my autism soooo
That's basically a tunafish sandwich without the sandwich. Add a bit of lemon juice and it'll knock down the fishy taste. Add a bit more lemon juice for a bit more citrus excitement.
I accidentally added too much mayo to my tunafish the other day and fixed it with a bit of Panko, of all things. The extra crunch was super neat and was better than celery that some people add. (Panko, for those who don't know, is a Japanese breadcrumb that is super close in texture to rice crispies. I thought it would help absorb the extra mayo, and it kinda did, but also kinda didn't.)
If you don't buy low quality "chunk" tuna the fishy taste is usually not an issue. Buy "solid" canned tuna as it's usually nicer cuts of white meat rather than whatever ground up leftovers comes in the cans of "chunk". And it's only like 15c a can more.
Canning companies managing to market the level of meat quality as a simple difference in form has got to be one of the sneakiest marketing rug pulls ever accomplished.
I'm just here to tell you there's no reason whatsoever to feel guilty about eating cottage cheese. It's got great protein and fat content. Throw a dusting of psyllium husk on there for some fiber and scoop it out with some whole wheat peta chips or crackers and you've got yourself a meal
Maruchan ramen and chicken bouillon cubes. I was literally raised on these when my impoverished single mother couldn't afford to feed us when I was a couple of years old. Sticks with you.
Not trying to yuck your yum, but what even leads one to try mixing these together? This sounds like a pregnancy craving sort of invention. When my mom was pregnant with me, she tells me she would make scrambled egg and mustard sandwiches. It sounded insane to me, but I tried it and actually love it, and now that's my weird guilty food. :)
It actually started off with garlic salt and Cheerios (in milk, I'm not a savage, I promise). I think it was around 2008, I had a tooth cavity, so I was avoiding sugar at all costs, but Cheerios taste like cardboard, so I needed some sort of flavor to it anyways, it just wasn't gonna be sugar.
And so it came to be, I very rarely eat sweets anymore. I'm down to 24 teeth now, 7 of which have fillings, and I ain't looking to lose any more teeth if I can possibly avoid it.
Guilty? Isn't that just basically health food? That was the craze when I was younger anyways.
Guilty pleasure is like strawberry ice cream with hot fudge sauce in a sugar waffle cone or something like that. Maybe deep fried.
Oh maybe you are saying that combination. But garlic and cheese go well together, no surprise there either. That is kind of cottage cheeses lot in the world: it kind of works with most things. Dont have enough ricotta for your manicotti? Cottage cheese will do in a pinch, and well.
I wish I could get a candy with the texture of peanut butter M&M's with the flavor of Reese's peanut butter. Reese's Pieces are harder than I like, but the M&M's have the perfect crunch, IMO.
I like the M&Ms a lot better, but this year when I did my annual binge of 75% off, post-Easter candy, I got some Reese's pieces eggs. They were like Reese's pieces, but much larger - maybe the size of peanut butter M&Ms. They were actually really good; a better inside to outside ratio.
Similarly, one of my favorite candies are the Cadbury mini eggs they sell at Easter, which are a similar size. They're like large plain M&Ms, with better quality chocolate and candy. I like the dark chocolate version best.
Peanut Butter. Put a big dob on a plate and hand me a spoon.
Like, I'm at the point where I've acquired a Vitamix so I can make my own. Which is even more dangerous, as now I can also control the sugar and add flavorings. A nice dash of brown sugar or a hint of Vanilla really make it pop.
Pilot/Flying J truck stops have this thing called the "Big Dog", a sausage roll that's over a foot long. Garlic butter on the crust of the roll. It's delicious. I end up buying one every time I go inside... and since I drive a truck for work, that's a near-daily occurence.
Y'all have a funny definition of guilty. Didn't read the whole thread but I bet one of you silly sumbitches called a Caesar salad a guilty pleasure. Mine's pizza. Any variety. I will eat the whole pie. Pizza is love, pizza is life.
Trader Joe's gummies that come in random shapes like fried eggs and cherries. They're on another level compared to other generic gummies. Must be because they're sourced from France.
The only thing I have to say about cottage cheese is that large curd is vastly superior in every way that counts, but it's almost impossible to find these days in my part of the world.
Great Value has a "large curd" option, but it is in fact not anywhere close to being large curd and none of the Walmart stores in my area carry it anymore. Same thing with Breakstone's. One store in my area carries it, but it does not qualify as large curd. They should be ashamed of themselves, they put the label on there but the curd size is indistinguishable from small curd.
Wild. I feel positively virtuous when I have cottage cheese. It's basically the only cheese that doesn't feel like a sin. That garlic salt option sounds decent, will give it a shot.
Personally my guilty goto food is crisps (chips for most of you guys). I stopped eating them about 6 weeks ago and have lost nearly 2kg in weight. Not sure it's worth it.
Garlic salt?? In regular (not low sodium) cottage cheese?? One of the things I like to add to cottage cheese is everything bagel seasoning, but I have to make my own seasoning blend without salt since cottage cheese is already quite salty.
I stopped them all, just swap to new ones constantly, used to be plain white bread a little bit of ketchup sandwich spread and kraft cotto salami sandwiches, just never have the ingredients when I crave it, I also would just down cold chicken hotdogs growing up but I got paranoid about getting sick (think they are precooked), miss the taste, cold fried chicken the next day tastes close but the texture isnt the same.
