Made of unicorn guts.

Even yummier.

Just about everything Hostess. Even before their collapse, they weren't all that, but their one redeeming feature was the Suzy-Q. Now, even the Suzy-Qs are shit, but their shit still flies off the store shelves.

Sadly, Little Debby hasn't fared much better.

I tried Twinkies once, just out of curiosity since they're always mentioned on American TV and I wanted to know what they were. They don't sell them in the UK as a general rule AFAIK but I found them once... but very expensive since they were so rare I guess. Anyway, never tasted anything so sickly sweet in my life... every part of it was too sweet. They did kind of grow on me for the novelty of it but they're the sort of things I'd need to brush my teeth straight after eating to feel comfortable. Is all American junk food like that?

No. You need to go scarf a bag of Lay's potato chips. The only other thing I like is Cheetos crunchy, presnit cheeto von tweeto notwithstanding. Other than that, no junk food, ever. Apples and baby carrots are entirely good enough for me...if you ignore that divine Kraft's extra-sharp cheddar cheese in the fridge. Put slices of it on some decent sourdough bread, and that stuff beats any chocolate I've eaten, hands down. Obviously, tastes vary.

I love me some Twinkies. Sticking my tongue in the hole and licking the cream out is the best way to eat it. To hell with all you haters! 😛


(Yes, that was on purpose.)

Parsnips.

Are you Ill? Parsnip and cauliflower mash is goooooooooood!

Kraft mac and cheese - what an overrated product

Kraft mac & cheese used to be amazing. In the 1980s. Whatever they did to it since then is a crime. It didn't used to taste like cardboard macaroni with globs of yellow-orange salt paste.

Regarding other foods, my big issue is texture. Anything that people gush over for having a 'silky mouth feel' is disgusting to me. If I eat eggs, they're either scrambled and firm or hard boiled. None of that runny shit. Beef? Cooked. None of this raw in the middle shit. That goes double for hamburgers. I don't want a barely cooked loose meat sandwich. I want something just shy of being a hockey puck. Mashed potatoes? Stiff peaks, or GTFO. Polenta? Fuck you with that shit. I don't need an externalized version of post nasal drip.

I generally don't do seafood.

Pineapples suck. The texture is simply wrong.

Ham smells like dirty, sweaty feet, and tastes like how I imagine dirty, sweaty feet to taste.
