1. Spam. I’m sorry, I know this stuff has some sort of cult following but no. Just no.
2. Pork rinds. Not sure this even qualifies as food per se.
3. Margarine. Don’t get me wrong, I grew up on the stuff, but I’d rather stick with butter.
4. Spray cheese. Honestly, I can’t even make sense of what’s in this can.
5. Cheez Whiz. There might be some sort of rule about misspelling things that poorly mimic actual food.
6. McDonald’s chicken nuggets. Just the thought makes me vomit a little.
7. McCormick Bac’n Pieces. See #5.
8. Reese’s Puffs cereal. A breakfast cereal modeled after candy? Really??
9. Freezer section biscuit sandwiches. I won’t even call out any particular brand here – logic dictates there is no scientific process that will allow sausage, fried egg, cheese, and biscuit to freeze then reheat well.
10. Gas station hot dogs. I know, I know, the hot dog itself is debatable when it comes to what should rightfully be called food. But there’s something disturbing about watching those withered dogs rotating under a heat lamp at the end of a long day.

So with you on all those. I would add Pop Tarts (designed you burn the mouth) and gherkins in burgers….

Velveeta does make a good grilled cheese sandwich – but then, so does Kraft sliced American cheese, which is also debatable as to real food. My mother cooked spam – cheap meal back in those days, and always used margarine – again, price mattered. My kids have done a lot to change my eating habits, and raise my grocery bill – no more pre-shredded cheese, no margarine, no Cheez Whiz or Spam, and gradually I’ve decided to avoid processed foods and anything with a lot of preservatives. So now I make my own salad dressings, and many other things it was so much easier to just buy. The upside: I’m healthier now than I was.

It’s amazing how much changes just by avoiding the boxed and pre-made sauce/dressing aisle! I have a couple of favorite salad dressings now but mostly stick to a simple olive oil/rice vinegar one that’s terrific.

I’m glad you left Velveeta off your list. Here in Texas, we grab a pound of that stuff, hit it with a 14oz can of Roi-Tel, melt the mess and dip in with tortilla chips. YUM

Oh my, Velveeta and Rotel is ah-maaa-zing. Keep it in a crock pot set to warm and you’ve got a wonderful afternoon of snacking.

I am with you on most of these things. I did grow up on ‘Spam’ and a similar product ‘Treet’. My grandmother diced it in small cubes and scrambled it with eggs. (Did I just turn your stomach a little?) I would not eat it now, too much bad stuff for my cholesterol, but I remember it being tasty. Where do you weigh in on powdered milk?

Oh Maggie, I just gasped. To be fair I’ve never tried powdered milk…but does it taste like milk? And is the consistency weird? What do I know. I used to use instant potatoes in my poorer days and now I can’t believe I ever convinced myself those were the same as mashed potatoes. 😂

My mom always mixed our milk half and half with powdered milk. We hated it. It was a cost savings measure. The taste was weird and so was the consistency. Some kids had just straight reconstituted powdered milk. I had my fair share of potato ‘flakes’, too. Yuck.

Cheez Whiz was not allowed to be spelled “Cheese” by the states that actually make cheese. And those hot dogs, at the end of the day they are stuck in the fridge (if the place ever closes). Spam, however, if sliced think and grilled, makes an excellent breakfast sandwich. I know, you’ve just moved me from one column to another…it’s OK, my wife won’t make them either.

A friend made a Spam casserole for us once while we were traveling together and because my mama raised me right I politely ate it. Never again.

I would not like that. Fried, fried is not bad.

Agreed. I couldn’t bring myself to include Velveeta because it’s so melty in dips but it’s also questionable… 😆
