Cottage cheese and garlic salt for me, what’s yours?
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.
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.
They are a pain in the ass to shell but delicious when you do

Shit is crack cocaine.
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.
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.
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…
Get yourself shittin’ like a 15-year-old farmboy that way
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
missing the mustard tho
I’d rather not
Mustard isn’t a Food™ in my book, but sometimes it’s okay, I guess…
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.)
it’ll knock down the fishy taste
If you don’t buy low quality “chunk” tuna the fishy taste is usually not an issue. Buy “solid” canned tuna as it’s usually nicer cuts of white meat rather than whatever ground up leftovers comes in the cans of “chunk”. And it’s only like 15c a can more.
Canning companies managing to market the level of meat quality as a simple difference in form has got to be one of the sneakiest marketing rug pulls ever accomplished.
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
Damn you, you reminded me I still have more cottage cheese and crackers…
Try spreading it over toast!
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.

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.
Salt and pepper is normal way to enjoy cottage cheese. Garlic salt isn’t a big leap.
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.
Peanut Butter
Sayin’ hey to the peanut butter gang!
For me it’s a big ole scoop of peanut butter and a small glass of milk to wash it down.
