What is your favorite comfort food that is also kind of disgusting?

[JessicaS]

I like gravy, on potatoes or even just bread if I have run out of potatoes.

Pimento cheese sandwiches are also a favorite.

My grandmother always gave us pimento cheese.



It has to be real comfort food as in not really healthy.

Weeeeeelllll.........

I love, love, love carnitas. And I'm a vegetarian .

chocolate chip cookies, any day. but i guess i could make them with whole wheat and dark chocolate?? lol! i also love egg nog....mmmmm...

[boysmom2]

-Salami sandwiches with absurd amounts of mayo

-Ramen noodles

-Ice cream

-Cheese... like a whole wheel of brie in one day (my nursling is allergic to dairy, so I've literally been dreaming of eating cheese!)

-Butter on graham crackers (my mom used to eat this - it's just weird, but really yummy)

Do White Castles count?

I had a friend who was very much down with peanut butter and butter sandwiches on Wonder bread, something I can't fathom to this day. I'm enthusiastically in favor of pimiento cheese, as well as gravy (substrate optional), though. And the leftover bits from meatloaf that are submerged in a quarter-inch of fat. I'll even cop to liking roll-ups of iceberg lettuce and Miracle Whip when I was a kid, but I also ate Accent meat tenderizer straight out of the little can back then.

Townhouse crackers with butter and strawberry jam...and not "good" strawberry jam...Smuckers, the kind with sugar

I also secretly totally love aerosol cheese

And bologna sandwiches on Wonderbread alongside cheap potato chips and sugary artificially colored lemonade...but I haven't eaten this in ages and ages I swear.

Now what exactly is disgusting about that? I'm vegan now, so no more pimento cheese (my grandma who made the best passed away last year anyway). I've been known to eat some chickpea gravy over slices of whole-wheat bread, though.

Bbq chips and cheddar cheese is my all time favorite snack.

I used to put cheez whiz on a piece of bread and microwave it. So good, I haven't had that forever.

[BetsyS]

Frito pie.

Pimento cheese sandwiches

Ramen noodles

these disgusting $1 frozen meals that only Walmart sells--they are "cheese" enchiladas filled with day-glo orange cheese. And they are sooooo good. LOL

[inkedmamajama]

chef boyardi ravioli with cream cheese and a slice of american cheese melted in.

omg its so bad for you, but its so comforting.


kraft mac n cheese-thick and creamy and white chedder made together.

my husbands favorite comfort food is cereal with milk and scoops of ice cream topped with candy. (think crackling oat bran with chocolate caramel ice cream topped with milk duds)

also-SEATTLE DOGS!!

just like my favorite street vendor in seattle...thick kosher beef hotdogs are cooked in beer and onions then put on a toasted sesame seed bun with spicy brown mustard and cream cheese.

nowhere NEAR healthy, but so good. especially at 1 in the morning when leaving the bar, lol

I put butter in a skillet to melt, add cheerios and stir until they are a bit golden. Then sprinkle with sea salt.

My mom used to make it for an on the go snack when we were kids (adding peanuts), so I'm sure that adds to the comfort aspect.

obviously i am going to try this RIGHTNOW.

Biscuits and gravy.

Processed cheese and Club crackers (I haven't had this for a LONG time though).

Really spicy mac and cheese. The Kraft kind, with lots of garlic added.

[seashells]

I love gravy, in fact yesterday DH brought me a small bowl of gravy and a spoon. Not a mashed potato in sight, just the gravy. It's wonderful. I'm not convinced it's bad for me, though.

So, the bad stuff.

- Little Caesar's pizza with the dip for the crust. DH and I had that as teenagers, but alas, there are none within a 50+ mile radius of our current home. Probably we've built it up in our heads beyond the point of how good they actually were, but yummm.

- Kraft macaroni and cheese. Not the "deluxe" (aka "adult") kind, but the original.

- Ice cream.

[philomom]

Pecan pie.... I mean, you might as well eat the nuts and pour raw sugar down your throat. But gosh, I love the taste. I make one when I'm really stressed.

[blueridgewoman]

Reddi Whip.
