Ok So I'm feeling a little lazy today but I wanted to post something. So here goes.
I found an article on the scariest processed foods in the US.

It's so sad that I love half of them. The only two that don't surprise me with their weirdness are the spam and the avacadoless guacamole.
"Easy cheese" is a staple of any good camping trip. It's also very close to cheese-wiz without wich you cannot make one of Philadelphia's only culinary advancements, the cheese steak. My favorite is "Wiz wit" (translation for the non eastern Pennsylvanian: A cheese steak with cheese wiz and fried onions)
Oreo cookie filling- did anyone actually think this was good for you? Or had any nutritional value. That's what's so appealing about them!
Condenced soup- wait what? soup isn't bad for you! but... but it's so good.
Spam- Really who knows what it really is. And does anyone actually still eat it? And how? Do you just slice it up and eat it? or do you fry it? or try to hide it in other foods? Like a spam omelet.
The "blueberries" in frozen waffles- really? Are these even really a "food". I don't know. I never thought of them as real food. I always thought they were just colored blobs in my waffles. I'd prefer real blueberries in pancakes.
Avacadoless guacamole: Who knew? That's just nasty. I'm going to stick to the home made variety or the refrigerated stuff. MMM green colored oil on a chip!
I'm sure when I was little I thought the blueberries counted as fruit. Of course, I also thought that Frosted Strawberry Pop-Tarts were a healthy enough breakfast.
ReplyDeleteRegarding Spam (a food that scares me), Jason's grandparents eat it and say it's HUGE in Hawaii. (They lived there at some point.) AND, I actually had some once! They fried it up and it tasted like a real pork thing my dad had bought a couple times (think rounds of bacon, but less fatty-tasting). Not bad for being such a scary food.
5 out of 6 are on my Yeah baby list!!! Spam is one of the most underrated foods of all time. It can be incorporated into pretty much any existant dish where pork or meat is required... If you doubt me, ask any Filipino family or anyone from the great state of Hawaii!!
