i just fessed up to eating celentano's frozen italian food, even though i live in a town with loads of great italian restaurants (including one, literally outside my door, where frank sinatra was known to eat).

also, certain of my relatives threatened to disown me when i confessed that i've eaten Mrs. T's pierogies and Hillshire Farms kielbasi. i was told that had i wiped my butt with the polish flag, i couldn't have disrespected my heritage more!

Ramen Noodles. $.08 a meal, for the love of Christ.

McGriddles.
Red Baron pizza, even in the days when I made pizza dough once a week.
That corned beef hash in a can, I forget who makes it. It's almost cheaper to make it from scratch, and yet.
Frozen potato product (especially The Perfect Food, but also Tater Tots and Crispy Crowns, which are exactly like the Burger King hash browns).

Hmm, I'm not sure all of that quite counts, since Tad's examples are better -- bad knock-offs of things you recognize the badness of and have access to the things they're knockoffs of.

Ohh -- despite being an honorary Southerner, and being able to make my own biscuits, I swear by those Pillsbury frozen biscuits in a bag. There's something damned handy about being able to cook just one or two biscuits, instead of a batch.

hot pockets
Arby's Chicken Cordon Bleu. I used to like Beef n'Cheddars a day old and microwaved--no mas
Red Baron Mexican Pizza--I think I can eat no more of these, either.
Ew. Can we go back to threads about good food?

― oops (Oops), Sunday, 27 July 2003 05:44 (twenty-two years ago)

i am such a food rockist.

― Tad (llamasfur), Sunday, 27 July 2003 05:49 (twenty-two years ago)

oh yeah re arby's -- last time i ate at one of those was at some rest-stop along the NY Thruway, driving back from the NY bar exam in albany. it was something with chicken -- i think chicken fingers. it didn't taste that great, but i still scarfed it down like "wow, this is so wrong but so tasty!"

― Tad (llamasfur), Sunday, 27 July 2003 05:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Tep, DUDE. Everything you named, I LUV to eat. He nasty!

― Francis Watlington (Francis Watlington), Sunday, 27 July 2003 05:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Hot pockets. Man, I was addicted to those for the longest time, the perfect "I had an afternoon class and an evening class, why the hell did I transfer to a public university, goddamn it's nine o'clock and I just got home and haven't eaten since lunch except for those Zapp's" dinner. Still buy them from time to time but just don't like em anymore.

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 27 July 2003 05:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Rock on, Francis, McGriddlers represent.

(I just made up "McGriddlers," i.e. those who enjoy a tasty McGriddle.)

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 27 July 2003 05:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Haha! Yeah, man, I totally feel ya! For me it's either the meatball Hot Pockets or some majorly gross Healthy Choice dinners. But those aren't really redeemable.

TOTINO'S PARTY PIZZA! It's ketchup on a cracker! I like the way it doesn't even try to be pizza. It's another (much cheaper) food entirely.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Sunday, 27 July 2003 06:12 (twenty-two years ago)

sounds like sliders -- smooth going down, smooth coming back up.

white castle rules this thread, of course.

― Tad (llamasfur), Sunday, 27 July 2003 06:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh my God, Totino's. My afternoon savior in junior high and high school. I don't think I can even look at the box without asking someone to make a saving throw against breath weapons.

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 27 July 2003 06:24 (twenty-two years ago)

elio's pizza rocks the same vibe as totino's, yo.

― Tad (llamasfur), Sunday, 27 July 2003 06:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Isn't it square, though, or am I thinking of something else?

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 27 July 2003 06:27 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't think I can even look at the box without asking someone to make a saving throw against breath weapons.

We will have no more Burroughs cut-and-paste sentences here, please.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Sunday, 27 July 2003 06:28 (twenty-two years ago)

i think that Tep has mind-melded with Hanle y, based on several of his posts here tonight.

― Tad (llamasfur), Sunday, 27 July 2003 06:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I have no idea how to take that.

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 27 July 2003 06:33 (twenty-two years ago)

as the highest of compliments, of cours e!

― Tad (llamasfur), Sunday, 27 July 2003 06:51 (twenty-two years ago)

if bad means unhealthy, put me down for a deep fried moro bar, please! no-one can believe that i can chow down a whole one. pussies.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Sunday, 27 July 2003 06:56 (twenty-two years ago)

how do you fry candybars without the chocolate melting all over the place?

― Tad (llamasfur), Sunday, 27 July 2003 06:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I've really gotta try one of those, damn. It's been my quest for years now. It can't possibly live up to the platonic ideal which has sprung up in my head.

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:00 (twenty-two years ago)

its a beautiful mystery.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:01 (twenty-two years ago)

fried choco-cock

― Tad (llamasfur), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Mrs T's pierogies are bad????

― rosemary (rosemary), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:49 (twenty-two years ago)

they weren't "polish enough" for certain of my relatives (even though mrs. t is polish herself heh heh). apparently, i either have to eat home-made pierogies or to a polish restaurant/butchery where an honest-to-goodness pole/ukrainian/russian has made 'em for them to be "authentic." my relatives are pretty rockist, no?

(hillshire farms kielbasa is indefensible, though. kielbasa from a good butcher [of whatever nationality] kicks hillshire farms ass.)

― Tad (llamasfur), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, I'm not Polish, so I can still eat them, no?

Oh god, I would quite like some now.

― rosemary (rosemary), Sunday, 27 July 2003 08:13 (twenty-two years ago)

i just heated up spaghetti and meatballs from a can. it's sitting here and i can't eat it... in fact i am sorry i ever set eyes on it. and since i didn't eat it i don't really belong anywhere near this thread. i am always sorry after this kind of thing.

― minna (minna), Sunday, 27 July 2003 08:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Smoked sausage (supermarket ss "disrespects" my German heritage in the way Tad was talking about. Fortunately my relatives are not so food-rockist.) In fact, I think I'll go heat some up right now.

― j.lu (j.lu), Monday, 28 July 2003 00:33 (twenty-two years ago)

there's a wienie-barn now at grand central station. they make bratwurst, knockwurst, knoedl, all that german stuff. i don't care about it not being "german" enough 'cause it tastes good and i'm not german anyway.

― Tad (llamasfur), Monday, 28 July 2003 00:38 (twenty-two years ago)

When I was in highschool my parents used to regularly buy lots of frozen crap from SAMS food club and I remember I used to eat these corn dogs, except they weren't corn dogs.. they were breakfast sausages covered in pancake. I used to eat a lot of those.

― Mandee, Monday, 28 July 2003 00:45 (twenty-two years ago)

covered in syrup, too?

― Tad (llamasfur), Monday, 28 July 2003 00:46 (twenty-two years ago)

If they came from Sam's, you would have have to have eaten a lot of them. Good thing about Sam's: once you were done eating seventeen frozen fried pizza corn cheese wraps from the 100 pound bag, you never had to worry about being out of toilet paper.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 28 July 2003 00:48 (twenty-two years ago)

noodles, tuna and mayonnaise, the joy, the shame...

― Matt (Matt), Monday, 4 August 2003 00:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Also Lynskey to thread for odd thin asda frying steak butties.

― Matt (Matt), Monday, 4 August 2003 00:51 (twenty-two years ago)

McDonald's burgers + fries, I love them so.
