What do you secretly eat disgustingly when you're home alone

[Anonymous]

I grew up in Ireland and miss the unhealthy food of my youth. Now that I’m WFH I’ve been recreating “curry chips” every so often - half a bag of Ore-Ida frozen French fries baked in the oven, then drenched in “curry” sauce (made from a powdered mix). God it’s so delicious

Sounds great

You're doing it wrong. Wonderbread and iceberg lettuce require Miracle Whip!

Miracle Whip is to be eaten straight from the tub with a spoon.

My lettuce sandwich must be eaten with Hellmann's. Actually, one of my fairly unbendable rules for food is that sweet and savory shall not mix. Which then totally grosses me out that my daughter dips her chicken nuggets in vanilla milkshake.

Love this stuff.

Also, buttered noodles with lots of salt.

I dip plain chips in ketchup.

This is delicious. I sometimes add hot sauce, Texas Pete is best.

Imagine how good it would be with real cheese, and not that green can stuff?

You realize it is real cheese, right?

It's technically real cheese, but it's not real parmesan cheese. It's mixed with fillers and anti-caking agents, and the base cheese is only allowed to be called "parmesan" because there are no laws that govern the term in the US, unlike Italy where actual parmesan is made. Kraft actually isn't allowed to sell its green can cheese as "parmesan" anywhere in Europe.

It’s not real Parmigiano-Reggiano. Which means it did not originate from Parma, Italy.

Just like most American Champagne does not come from champagne France. Just like it’s illegal to sell California “champagne” in Europe they must call it sparkling wine.

We know Kraft Parmesan is not Parmigiano-Reggiano, we know it has anti caking agents in to that why it’s on this thread.

But here's the thing - the PPs don't go out and buy this crap when they are home alone - they have it in their house already. It's what they buy for their families to use as "Parmesan." There's just no reason or excuse for that.

Oh shut up.

My mom used to do this, about a Tablespoon at a time. She’d put the slices on saltines, though. Something to consider if you are looking for a fig leaf.

Ha, are you my sister? My mom does this too!

Saltines and butter are awesome.

Ahem, it's called Shake Cheese.

Chips and dip is my go to secret eating at other times. I know it's a normal snack, and I'm not at all skinny, but we don't usually keep it in house and and once in a while it's a perfect binge.

This is maybe the only one I just don’t understand. I am a lover of terrible disgusting delicious things, but Totino’s party pizzas are terrible!

I find the cheapest frozen pizzas are the best.

I mix a can of sardines or other canned fish with hot sauce and mayo and eat on crackers. Sometimes I add capers lol.

For all of you who hide these from your spouses, I have a question. If he/she totally embraced your food and ate it with you or ate something equally "disgusting," would you like that? I think I would be grossed out by my spouse lol so the secrecy must be part of the allure.

For me, the secrecy is necessary because I married a man with an aversion to almost every fattening food (ice cream is his one vice, and ironically, almost the only fattening food I don’t like). My husband hates cheese, bacon, salad dressing (yes, he eats salad without dressing). Water is the only thing he drinks. He has a super strong sense of smell and frequency recoils at the scent of foods, wrinkles his nose and calls them disgusting. He sucks the pleasure out of splurges.

My DH has his own splurges. We don’t judge.

I think my disgusting pleasure is more like stealing ice cream right from the pint. But good ice cream (like Jeni’s, or green tea, or something).

Then don’t play.

I like to soften a big hunk of kerrygold in the microwave and mix it with powdered sugar, a sprinkle of sea salt, and then my flavoring of choice. Sometimes a citrus juice, or a spoonful of jam, cocoa and cinnamon, cream cheese and vanilla if I'm feeling extra gross. A giant serving of buttercream.

Frosting isn’t my vice of choice, but this is ingenious. Might have to try it!

This is why I keep coming back to DCUM. I thought my microwave ganache was fancy but this is even better.

Raw cookie dough. Don't even bake any cookies. Choc chip, oatmeal raisin, etc. Make a bowl and grab a spoon. Place bowl of dough in the refrigerator with spoon, covered by a plate.

Mid 50s and no salmonella yet

My kids begged me to buy snack sized bags of doritos and cheetos, and lately I've been eating a bag a day after they leave for school and no one else is home.

I've also recently lost a few pounds, go figure.
