    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.

    I stopped them all, just swap to new ones constantly, used to be plain white bread a little bit of ketchup sandwich spread and kraft cotto salami sandwiches, just never have the ingredients when I crave it, I also would just down cold chicken hotdogs growing up but I got paranoid about getting sick (think they are precooked), miss the taste, cold fried chicken the next day tastes close but the texture isnt the same.

    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.

      We got a backwards scenario here. What they label as ‘Small Curd’ is basically large curd 👍

    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.

    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.

        Are you Chrisjen Avasarala? Keeping them in your purse and munching on them whenever you’re in meetings with people you don’t like very much?

      Have you tried this brand? They were a revelation to me. Soooo good, no macadamia has compared, so far. They taste like salted butter.

      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.

    Wild. I feel positively virtuous when I have cottage cheese. It’s basically the only cheese that doesn’t feel like a sin. That garlic salt option sounds decent, will give it a shot.

    Personally my guilty goto food is crisps (chips for most of you guys). I stopped eating them about 6 weeks ago and have lost nearly 2kg in weight. Not sure it’s worth it.

    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.

    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
