Here's another heaping helping of the foods you hate to love. Welcome to the Hall of Shame!
Take Me Out to the Hall Game...
I've never had one, but our local minor league baseball park sells something called a Krispy Kreme Burger. It is a burger with cheese & bacon sandwiched between a Krispy Kreme glazed donut. Aficionados of this "heart attack on a bun" rave about it & will exclaim with dismay if you "ruin" it by trying to put traditional condiments such as ketchup or mustard on it. CBS had even done a news story on it. They said it clocks it at around 1,000 calories with over 10g of sugar. However, I have a hard time believing it's only 1,000 calories. Happy artery clogging & Go Grizzlies! -- Sandwich Slugger
Bad Dog!
I went to a Philiadelphia-Style Deli in Wilimington, NC recently. They have a "John's Island Hot Dog" on the menu. It's an all beef hot dog with peanut butter, mayo and raw onions. I was feeling brave and I tried it. Now I recreate it at home at least once a month! -- Joanna
Oodles of Noodles of Shame
You take a pack of chicken-flavored oriental noodles (minus the flavor pack, of course) and put them in the pot and let them boil to the right consistency. While that is happening, gather 2 eggs, diced onions, cheese and sliced turkey. Cook the eggs, cheese, onions and meat together, then when the noodles are done, add the seasoning packet plus the egg mixture to the noodles, mix together and serve! Yum! I started cooking this when I was pregnant with my second daughter, and 6 years later, it is still one of my favorite snacks. -- Tracy
Family Food Fight
My parents each have their entry into the Hall: My dad is from Mississippi and I can only think this originates from there. He would take a banana, slather it with crunchy peanut butter, and top that with dollops of mayonnaise! I used to ask him why he bothered with the banana and he said it made the snack "healthy"! My mom's food of shame was so bad, she used to literally close the blinds in the house before she indulged - she would buy a can of sweetened condensed milk, pop hole in the top with a church-key opener, and drink the entire thing! She should feel guilty!

A Tortured Soul
I love canned baked beans mixed with mayonnaise and finely chopped red onions. Really, really good! I bet it would be amazing with the crack weenies. My mouth is watering from watching you make AND EAT them. It’s not fair for you to make something so appealing, when I’m not supposed to go near any one of the ingredients! Although I might write down the recipe in case I ever feel the need to medicate with food. Which happens surprisingly often.
I think I’ll rewind to the tuna on a donut and see if I can turn my stomach for a few hours.
Thanks,
Joan

The Granny that ate raw hamburger is not alone -- steak tartar in some circles -- but in addition to salt and peppering, a piece of thinly sliced onion tops it off! To this day, even with what I know about red meat (cooked or raw), I still sneak a few bites after I unload groceries and "re-package" a family-size container of fresh ground chuck! My Dad used to even feed bits of raw hamburger to our pet goldfish "Cannibal." Must be an up north Chicago thing… :O)
-- Monster of the Midway
The Pie's the Limit
No wonder I was up to 150 pounds in college, when I ate snacks like this:
A packaged frozen pie crust, only slightly heated (just enough to get rid of the freezer taste), smeared with whipped sweet butter, then folded over like a sandwich. And yes, on occasion I ate more than one at a time. It obviously wasn't about hunger. Just to think of it today literally makes me gag. -- Student Body Treasurer
