9 Nasty Truths About Your Favorite Foods
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Reruns of Sex in the City, combined with a brief glance at this Chowhound thread, brought up the interesting topic of secret foods. The idea here is that every person, no matter how dedicated a foodie they are, has at least one "secret" food that they eat when there is no one else around. It could be sometime simple that you fall back on when you lack the time to cook, but it could also be something that you just don't want anyone else to see you eat. Are you a health food lover who indulges in a couple of Oreos and a big glass of milk when you have the afternoon off? Maybe you don't feel like cooking dinner and have a (frozen) waffle loaded with peanut butter instead.
Two favorites of mine are s'mores without chocolate, since it just seems slightly less guilt-inducing to have the molten marshmallow on crunchy grahams even though I might have a few more than I ordinarily would, and dry cereal (current fave is Honey Bunches of Oats), which makes a great snack when I don't feel like having anything salty.

Mayonnaise on steamed rice
Canned corned beef
Salt sprinkled on chocolate
Cheap pizza, periodically dunked in Pepsi like biscotti
When I was a kid, I enjoyed making and eating "bologna wraps", which consisted of a circle of cold, Oscar Mayer bologna, wrapped around a small ball of cold, leftover rice. I was doing this before the whole Spam musubi craze happened, so I would like to lay claim to having invented the original luncheon-meat musubi/maki :P

My secret food, considering i am gluten-free i have many. My ultimate fave is a personal rice crust pizza made with fresh mozzorola, pepperoni, and banana peppers---all cooked till the cheese is melting off the sides--yummmm! I also crave plain m&m's often!

That's a popular snack here in Monterrey, México. Of course I'm not talking about that tabasco sauce which intends to be a hot sauce, it has to be a snack's hot sauce.

Every now and then I feel the need for something purely and naturally sweet in one quick shot--now, I only do this on days when I've not eaten anything else sweet--and for these occasions I grab a sugar cube made of turbinado sugar, break it once in my mouth, and then just let it dissolve. Mmmm bliss. But I'm sure most people would be horrified by this. :P
