Macadamia nuts. I can't have them in the house anymore. Once I bought a three-pound bag of them, and then I ate a three-pound bag of macadamia nuts. In one day. They're way too fucking expensive for that, and high in calories.

So, I don't buy macadamia nuts anymore.

    That's me with pistachios. Once it became possible to buy them pre-shelled I knew I was in financial trouble because I can eat them non-stop. I need the shells to rate-limit myself.

    Ah, the classic Queensland bush nut from Australia.

    It has taken the world by storm.

    And rightfully so, it is the king of all nuts, without a doubt.

    It has no peer, and I don't blame you.

    They are perfect by themselves but if you add a little bit of garlic salt to them or some other flavoring they are just beyond belief.

    The area where they are originally from in Queensland has obviously the world's largest producers, and some of their specialty herbs and spices they put on them just are unbelievable.

    I've been on an apple slices and peanut butter kick lately. My grocery store has been selling big bags of granny smiths for $5 and I'm going through them so quickly

    Would you like some garlic salt with that?

    LOL, I jest, but still, I'll put garlic salt on practically anything.

    Yeah I'm weird, but hey, apple slices and peanut butter sounds pretty good too..

    I'm just here to tell you there's no reason whatsoever to feel guilty about eating cottage cheese. It's got great protein and fat content. Throw a dusting of psyllium husk on there for some fiber and scoop it out with some whole wheat peta chips or crackers and you've got yourself a meal

    I love mashing a can of tuna, mayonnaise, and sweet relish together in a bowl and either horking it straight or using it like dip on potato chips or doritos. Probably the most aggressively white and fat thing I do but it tastes good to my autism soooo

    That's basically a tunafish sandwich without the sandwich. Add a bit of lemon juice and it'll knock down the fishy taste. Add a bit more lemon juice for a bit more citrus excitement.

    I accidentally added too much mayo to my tunafish the other day and fixed it with a bit of Panko, of all things. The extra crunch was super neat and was better than celery that some people add. (Panko, for those who don't know, is a Japanese breadcrumb that is super close in texture to rice crispies. I thought it would help absorb the extra mayo, and it kinda did, but also kinda didn't.)

    Fresh-roasted nuts, like cashews.

    Doesn't matter the batch size, they need to be finished!

    Maruchan ramen and chicken bouillon cubes. I was literally raised on these when my impoverished single mother couldn't afford to feed us when I was a couple of years old. Sticks with you.

    Olives and feta. I throw in tomatoes and call it a Mediterranean salad, but I'm really here for the salt.

    Cottage cheese and garlic salt for me

    Not trying to yuck your yum, but what even leads one to try mixing these together? This sounds like a pregnancy craving sort of invention. When my mom was pregnant with me, she tells me she would make scrambled egg and mustard sandwiches. It sounded insane to me, but I tried it and actually love it, and now that's my weird guilty food. :)

    It actually started off with garlic salt and Cheerios (in milk, I'm not a savage, I promise). I think it was around 2008, I had a tooth cavity, so I was avoiding sugar at all costs, but Cheerios taste like cardboard, so I needed some sort of flavor to it anyways, it just wasn't gonna be sugar.

    And so it came to be, I very rarely eat sweets anymore. I'm down to 24 teeth now, 7 of which have fillings, and I ain't looking to lose any more teeth if I can possibly avoid it.

    Pickles. Or anything pickled for that matter. When I get a craving for something pickled, especially when I'm drinking beer, get out of my way!

    "i think I'm hungry"

    Eats cottage cheese..."never mind, I'm just bored"

    I always have cottage cheese as my hungry food. It works great

    Guilty? Isn't that just basically health food? That was the craze when I was younger anyways.

    Guilty pleasure is like strawberry ice cream with hot fudge sauce in a sugar waffle cone or something like that. Maybe deep fried.

    Oh maybe you are saying that combination. But garlic and cheese go well together, no surprise there either. That is kind of cottage cheeses lot in the world: it kind of works with most things. Dont have enough ricotta for your manicotti? Cottage cheese will do in a pinch, and well.

    Peanut Butter. Put a big dob on a plate and hand me a spoon.

    Like, I'm at the point where I've acquired a Vitamix so I can make my own. Which is even more dangerous, as now I can also control the sugar and add flavorings. A nice dash of brown sugar or a hint of Vanilla really make it pop.

    Not really a "food" but I find peanut butter M&Ms the most addictive thing in the world.

    My wife loves cottage cheese with crushed BBQ potato chips mixed in, which I imagine is similar.

    Trader Joe's gummies that come in random shapes like fried eggs and cherries. They're on another level compared to other generic gummies. Must be because they're sourced from France.

    Y'all have a funny definition of guilty. Didn't read the whole thread but I bet one of you silly sumbitches called a Caesar salad a guilty pleasure. Mine's pizza. Any variety. I will eat the whole pie. Pizza is love, pizza is life.

    The only thing I have to say about cottage cheese is that large curd is vastly superior in every way that counts, but it's almost impossible to find these days in my part of the world.

    Great Value has a "large curd" option, but it is in fact not anywhere close to being large curd and none of the Walmart stores in my area carry it anymore. Same thing with Breakstone's. One store in my area carries it, but it does not qualify as large curd. They should be ashamed of themselves, they put the label on there but the curd size is indistinguishable from small curd.

    Pilot/Flying J truck stops have this thing called the "Big Dog", a sausage roll that's over a foot long. Garlic butter on the crust of the roll. It's delicious. I end up buying one every time I go inside... and since I drive a truck for work, that's a near-daily occurence.

    I just threw away 3 empty boxes of Arnott's Shapes - the cheese and bacon ones specifically.

    I need help.

    Butter toffee peanuts, sadly most stores around me stopped selling them. Not sure why...

    But the most extreme and unique snack I used to eat a lot is pickled herring, however I haven't had it in years.
