maybe more of a "snack" than a "meal," buuuut ... Fritos and Stan's pimento cheese

My deceased BIL's favorite snack was Fritos dipped in blueberry yogurt.

Recommendations for a good brand of corned beef? We were using Aldi for the longest time because it wasn't all grease, but the last couple cans we've bought were like eating a salt lick.

 

The Hormel Low Sodium (green label) corned beef is way worth it.

3 solid pages and no McRib mention? Slackers.

How bout the Freiburger special? Tortilla, extra crunchy peanut butter and sliced Spanish olives. Tasty.

Cream cheese and jelly on toast? Peanut butter and mayo on bread? The last one was my moms favorite.

Mary kitchen corned beef hash, cooked until crispy in the bottom, then store in 3 eggs and scramble. Top with American cheese on the eggs are cooked, store to mix in cheese and serve. 

Spanish olives from the jar with the refrigerator door open in the middle of the night.

Moped meal?  It is more like how to eat like a 16 year old and your parents are gone.

The day after Thanksgiving, leftover turkey breast, a jar of Miracle Whip, a knife to put a dab of Miracle Whip on the turkey.  Repeat.

My gringo quesadilla; flour tortilla, slice of American cheese, microwave for 20 seconds.  Add taco sauce as needed, never salsa.  For added Yankee flair, lay a hot dog onto the tortilla/cheese and eat with mustard and ketchup, no taco sauce.

Leftover grilled hamburger patty, cold.  Small cup of A1 Steak Sauce.  Dip the hamburger in the A1 sauce and enjoy like you were eating chips and salsa.

I just opened this to bring up the McRib. I get at least one every time they are available. They may not have any rib in them but they aren't terrible. 

I like the chicken McNuggets as well. No, they don't taste like chicken, but the don't taste terrible either.

You know the rule, right? Any food eaten with the refrigerator door open has zero calories.

A sandwich spread from my childhood that my grandmother would make. Mashed up Vienna sausages, with mayo, and cut up apples. She'd put it on Wonder bread, of course. I've made it a few times over the years, but it grosses my wife out. Her theory is that my grandmother got the recipe from one of those cookbooks from the 50s that had stuff like jello with tuna.

best canned corned beef hash

...often with a fried egg on top. Only eaten when my wife is away, probably shouldn't have it more than once or twice a year.

I used to get annual cravings for a Smokey Big Bite from 7-Eleven, but it's been at least a decade.

I also advocate for opening a tin of good tuna and just hitting it with Tabasco or Crystal and digging in.

I think we've pretty well covered a healthy lack of guilt about this stuff...

Corned beef hash and eggs is the BOMB! Gotta fry it up in a cast iron skillet until it is a crunchy salty potato meat puck. Then a soft fried egg on top. Roughly one bazillian percent of your daily sodium intake but who cares. I can eat the whole can with two eggs.

Another way to prepare it. CBH spread evenly in the bottom of a small to medium fry pan. Crack eggs on top to cover the CBH. Cover and cook on the stove top until the eggs are sunny side up. Serve with grits or cream of wheat. 

The hash will be crispy, the eggs will be perfect.

I think a lot of these end up from our parents or grandparents, and I know my Grandpop had memories of the Great Depression till the end of his days.  Couple foods he wouldnt touch as an adult

My memere used to make lard sandwiches just out of comfort... When you're raised dirt poor and with a dozen siblings, sometimes just being grateful for something to eat is the most important.

How about pear salad? 

Pear half, a dollop of mayo, and shredded cheese. Served on a bed of lettuce. Cherries optional.

I came back to this thread just to say this. Specifically Wendy's fries in a chocolate frosty. That was a serious go to in high school since Wendy's was right down the street and we had open campus lunch. 

Lunch hour was always funny. The bell would ring and you have people slamming each other in the hallways and stuff and flying out of the parking lots to get to the restaurants first. That way you wouldn't have to wait in a long line and get back to the parking lot and hang out with your friends and eat before going back to class. 

Although when I was a sophomore, it was go smoke something that wasn't legal in the 90s, get a large coke and a candy bar and go back to class. Some would go get a fountain drink to mask the vodka they put in it. It's no wonder our parking lots and hallways saw drug dogs relatively often.

  1. Egg salad made with Marie's Thousand Island Dressing and grated parmesan. Serve between slices of whatever bread is in the house and eat with regular Utz potato chips retrieved one at a time from the family size bag. Variant: No bread. Eat it with the chips like a dip.
  2. Chef Boyardee products directly from the can, at room temperature.
  3. Peanut butter, butter, and potato chips on white.
  4. "Chicken Parmesan": Chicken patties, jarred pasta sauce, sliced provolone. Bake until the cheese is how you like it.
  5. Joe dogs: hot dogs with sloppy joe on a hot dog roll
  6. Sloppy Joe mixed with queso. Serve in a bowl, eat with Ritz crackers.

I should stop.

I have zero food shame.    It seems silly to get worked up over what someone else is eating, or think that the stuff they are shoving in their frontal face-hole is supposed to be some sort of "statement".

 

I am not a vegetarian but I love most vegetarian foods.  As I just pointed out in a text about 5 minutes ago, it can be pretty sweet because if there is a ton of pizza at a get-together, I usually get an entire bigass veggie pizza all to myself because nobody else will touch it smiley  I'll also proudly order a pineapple and olive pizza, or a Hawaiian.  Or make a huge salad out of the toppings from a Subway mega-order.

In reply to Pete. (l33t FS) :

The surprisingly good combination I had once was pineapple and buffalo chicken on a pizza. The sweet and spicy heat worked much better than ham and pineapple.

My teen likes bacon and cheese calzones from the local pizza place.

My guilty pizza is Red Baron frozen thin crust (original) 4 cheese.

In preparation for sounding weird I want to preface this with I used to eat this as a kid but haven't had one in many years. 

 

Two pieces of white bread with a nice layer of miracle whip. 

....I also would eat cold hotdogs straight from the packaging.
