    Mainers love the Canadian delicacy poutine. Platter of french fries covered in brown gravy smothered in shredded cheese, some go as far as adding bacon and other toppings.
    It's an oxymoron meal, cheese to bind ya, grease to explode ya.

    Shredded cheese on a poutine.......SHREDDED!!!!!!! Only cheese curd should be on poutine.

    Pop Tarts do nothing for me at all. Donuts? Oh yeah, and I can eat a whole package and want more. Hot dogs? I love them. With Hormel Chili without beans on them. And doughy white hotdog buns. And for desert, if I have eaten all of the donuts (some of them heated in the micro so their hot and greasy), Reeses Peanut Butter cereal. Can't even get near that *kitten*.

    My rule of thumb: it has to taste like food to be eaten, not like chemicals. If it tastes like chemicals (a distinct plastic undertone) then away it goes.

    Some poptarts have that flavor for me, though not all. Some cereals too (Captain Crunch, anyone?). The big science experiments are definitely Li'l Debbies, Hostess, (non)Fruit Rollups, fake fruit pies, Keebler cookies.

    I don't mind food with sugar and fats that taste like sugar and fats. But things that taste like a high school chemistry lab have stayed off my list of consumables for years now.

    You guys are making me so hungry. Dirtiest food I've ever had: the fried oreos and fried twinkies on Fremont Street here in Las Vegas. Oh dear god. Nothing healthy about those bad boys, but LORD they were delicious.

    Cheap hot dogs... I'm talking the ones with polka dots on the packaging that might have been vegan-friendly minus a few unpronouncables. Followed up by margarine.

    I made a pan of fudge chocolate chunk and walnut brownies the other day. We ate the whole pan with chocolate icecream, cool whip and smarties on top! :love:

    I also shamelessly eat hotdogs, Grillums cheese sausages, deli meat, processed snacks like special k chips or the 100 cal snack packs. I am not afraid of any foods but there are something I don't like, and some that trigger binges so I am careful. I eat about 70% clean and allow treats or I would go nuts and binge on junk like I did in the past.

    A big pile of golden brown french fries coated in bright yellow liquid cheese from a can and topped with a mound of greasy Greek sauce. Maybe toss on a sprinkling of onions to boost my vegetable intake. :blushing:

    Fried dough!

    Never had it - even for the pre-weight loss me it was too much.

    Actually, now that I'm in shape, next time I go to the county fair, I may try me some as long as I can fit it into my day (or, more likely, week...)

    Favorite fake food? Zingers.

    Mmmmm. Zingers. I love Zingers. For 25 years I lived in a cultural wasteland (NJ) where you couldn't find the anywhere. I remember searching every grocery and convenience store I could find in the first few months when I moved from Ohio. My sister once mailed me a bunch of them in a Tampax box for my birthday.

    We moved to the Midwest 10 years ago and it was nice to enjoy them as an occasional indulgence (usually on a day with a very long bike ride, and once after a sprint triathlon). I wish they'd sell the rights to some company so they'd be available again.

    I would eat a Pop-tart over one of those any day- preferably the unfrosted strawberry kind, lightly toasted with the doughy corners picked off.

    So funny, Once I reach my goal weight pop-tarts is one of the food I plan on eating on my cheat days. Never thought to put some ice-cream inbetween them turning it into a ice-cream pop tart. MMMmMMm.

    My favorite pop-tart, S'more's!!!

    Cosmic Brownies used to be one of my favorites in high school!-I think they're Little Debbies, they have those colored chocolate chips on them. YUMM!!
    I also love nachos with that fake liquidy cheese-I get them at baseball games or at taco bell. I'm not a huge fan of real cheese (unless I'm really in the mood), but I LOVE the fake stuff!!

    Imitation or "enhanced" foods freak me out. Like the "sort of chicken" at McDonald's or "cheese product" or "wheat-flavored tortillas" or "chocolate drink."

    They freak me out.

    The next would be, like someone else, packaged cake type stuff. I don't know what they put in packages Rice Krispie treats, but they taste like...fake. As do Little Debbie/Hostess EVERYTHING.

    I really want some homemade Rice Krispie treats now.
