I like pringles and well, pretty much most kinds of chips. The ultimate junk food, in my mind, has almost no nutritional value at all, being pretty much pure sugar. Gummy Bears!
I have a weakness for pretzels, the saltier the better.
my favorite right now is baked cheetos. But my old standard is fritoes.
Pretzels dipped in chocolate... popcorn and chocolate... yummm
Marshmallows. In jello. With Cool Whip. The trifecta of glorious junk food.
Mary, I'm totally giving you the "rock on" sign for your jello suggestion. Someone has to explain to me how jello came to ever be called "salad".
It was the fifties. Nuff said. ;-)
Um...it bound fruit together, so it became a de facto "fruit salad?"
In one of my grandmothers' hand-me-down cookbooks, there are several molded salads that used plain gelatin to hold raw vegetables together. I suspect flavored gelatin and fruit were a simple step "forward".
My ex (who is from Ireland) loved to deride me for jello salad recipes I'd grown up on. Then I pointed out a lamb aspic recipe that I came across in an Irish cookbook. It was interesting to watch him spin that one.
Re-10: <<Pretzels dipped in chocolate... popcorn and chocolate... >> I was thinking exactly those things just last night. Chocolate and salty stuff really do go well together. At the movies, I used to almost always bring some chocolate to have with my popcorn. I handful of popcorn and a bite of chocolate... Good pretzels with chocolate is great, too. I've even tried a sample once of a chocolate covered potato chip that tasted good, too.
resp:17 oh yeah! :)
I love pretzels in chocolate. yum.
I like pretzels and ice cream. A bite of sweet followed by a contrasting bite of salty. Sort of a yin-yang experience. Ommm....
oh that reminds me. when I was a kid I LOVED ice cream and potato chips. Same concept as #20
