1/2 cake doesn't seem so bad DF- good self control on your part!

Not sure but probably rock candy when I was a little girl- used to love that. Wonder if they still make it? I don't think I would care for it anymore though. Now I prefer my dh's cheesecake or apple pie for sure!

I grew up on the beach in Sydney, and we used to get a deep fried Mars Bar at the local hamburger shop after a day at the beach....I'm guessing about a weeks worth of calories.

Cheese curds at any county fair, for sure. I am in Minnesota, so it's basically a religious rite to eat cheese curds at least once a year. :bigsmile:

OMG my friend from Wisconsin brought me back cheese curds the last time she was there and they were AMAZING. They weren't fried though, just regular.

The most recent unhealthy junk food I had was a GIANT funnel cake at the boardwalk. I mean it was 4 times the size of a regular funnel cake. Apparently the girl making it liked me! Or hated me? :cheeky:

HI:

I had a jalapino (sp) corn dog at the Calgary Stampede this year and it was YUMMY!

Doubt it is the worse thing I've ever consumed...it is probably the 5 rusty nails (scotch + drambuie) I used to drink a couple of times a week as a young single gal!

cheers--Sharon

When I was in high school, I would occassionally eat chocolate icing right out of the Duncan Hines container. Oh, and I paired it with whole milk to drink. It makes me cringe just thinking about it now!

Maybe not exactly the same, but my weakness is creamy seafood pasta dishes. Sky high in cholesterol/fat but so hard to refuse. Husband knows my weakness, the other day made creamy pasta dish with smoked salmon and peas so good! Probably shortening my life but what a way to go...

I love all versions of sweets, including Little debbies but typically allow myself 1 treat per day. I love doughnuts, but try to stay away from them.

hmmm I use to drink Slurpee's years ago. Twinkies? I don't know, those cake things have tons of preservatives; maybe something Little Debbie? I can't believe I ate some of those things; I would seriously gag to eat any of them now.


oh probably in high school I would eat these pie things (hostess pie) you could buy at the grocery store; I use to love them (so gross now) :knockout: I seriously can't believe I ate this stuff!

Top Ramen? I notice now when I eat it, my eye get a bit puffy from all the sodium!

After watching Zombieland, we went and bought some Twinkies and I swear they didn't taste as good as I remember them being. In fact, they were gross. I can't imagine risking my life and having my brain eaten by a Zombie over getting a Twinkie fix!

hahaha I loved those too. Now, I think back, I ate a lot of crap. One of my worst habits was I use to dip my finger in the sugar jar and eat the sugar right off my finger. I went straight to the source! :o I caught my son trying to make "sugar water" once. He is neurotic about organic foods, so he was mixing organic sugar with water! lol

DF, you're getting all of us Homer Simpsons to confess.

I used to have a thing for frozen Twinkies. They had to be frozen.
mmmmmm Chili cheese Fritos mmmmmmm
And I realize a chunk of the world doesn't consider it junk food, but could chorizo get any badder? I had some turkey chorizo in Dallas a few weeks ago and it was good, but not the real thing.

When I was a teenager I think I ate a hamburger and fries at a McDonald's once.

Those were good! I used to eat the cherry ones all the time.

The most unhealthy was probably White Castle--gross! My hub loves it, but it's just so greasy.

Sept 30 is Mid-Autumn Festival. i love Chinese mooncakes :lickout: = instant heart attack... ::) ..i don't wanna know how many calories per cake.i usually eat 1/2 a cake each time. :nono:

http://www.lotsofcravings.com/2010/08/wing-wah-mooncakes-imported-from-hong.html

I have never heard of mooncake, so I did a little google research... holy cow! 1,000 calories packed into a little 10cm diameter cake?!? They must be SO rich! We are going to Monterey Park for dim sum next weekend--I should make a trip to Kee Wah bakery to try some!

I generally avoid anything completely over processed. But I do enjoy the occasional Easy Cheese on a Ritz Cracker.

Worst junk food binge was when I was a teenager though. After school a friend and I decided to fry up a full pound of bacon and eat it with cola. THEN I went home and had dinner. I'm still amazed I was a size 0 back then.

When I was younger, I used to cut them all open and eat all the egg yolk. (maybe 10 egg yolks total?) The rest of it doesn't impress me!

Ha, I used to eat those horrible Hostess fruit pies, too.

When I was little I loved bologna and American cheese sandwiches on white bread with Miracle Whip. And those wafer cookies with the cream filling, they were vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate flavored. It sounds disgusting to me now, but I probably could eat those things again without too much pressure. I just choose not to now! :bigsmile:
