You can make pimento cheese spread but it's a whole different animal. I like the "real" stuff but LOVE the Kraft pimento cheese spread in those little jars. I save the jars and use them for our juice glasses!
Tater tots are incredible anyway they are served.
Canned ravioli-i only eat this every couple years because I feel like crap after but oh do they taste good!
Sometimes I just crave that crappy nacho cheese that you get at the movies, fairs, etc. I found you can get it in a can but I haven't worked up the nerve to buy it yet!
Every now and again I close my office door and snarf down a can of the Chef Boyardee ravioli (I heat it in the lunch room with a paper plate over it so people can't tell what I'm eating and rush back to my office with it). My husband would be appalled that I still eat this and I never have a can at home!
SPAM used to be another secret vice, but it doesn't taste the same anymore. There used be a jellied layer on the bottom of the can (which seemed to give it more flavor) and the taste is so bland now.
A good fast food cheeseburger and fries with ketchup.
A good milkshake—not one from McDonalds though, because those are toooo sweet.
Graham crackers
Grocery store fried chicken
Chilled canned peaches in the dead of winter
There was small gas station restaurant on La Cienega in West LA that made one of the best cheeseburgerse and fries I've had in long time. I had them over 3 years ago and still remember how good they were!
Other "trashy" foods I like but haven't eaten in ages:
canned deviled ham
canned potted meat (can't even find it in the stores anymore which is just as well - I think Armour's made it)
fried bologna and scrambled eggs (ditto for fried SPAM)
Frito Lays plain and barbecue potato chips
Rotel mixed with melted Velveeta and a bag of Fritos
KFC extra crispy legs and thighs
Jack in the Box tacos (although I hear they don't taste the same anymore).
Now I am making myself hungry (and making myself cry), because I don't eat that stuff anymore!

I feel exactly the same way, the "jello" was almost the best part of eating SPAM as I remember when I was young. I learned that the formulation was changed to include modified potato starch which did away with the jello. I heard that Great Value luncheon meat at Walmart did not have the modified potato starch so it still had the jello, and I've been buying that instead of SPAM. However nothing can approach the SPAM of my youth.

May I suggest Tabasco Spam? So good!

Are those the flat potato rounds? I can’t find those anymore. I used to make a breakfast for dinner dish, fry up those flat tots and some bacon, scramble eggs to put on top and top it all off with cheddar cheese grated.
Yes, by Ore Ida.
Probably more crispy than potato-y
1. Cracker Barrel. Never had a bad meal there. I am fanatical about their pecan pancakes. I love them. same goes for their home fry potato casserole and fried shrimp in a basket. Their biscuits and deserts are always good.
9.A tomato sandwich on WHITE BREAD with salt and pepper and mayo.

I agree with Cracker barrel. I travel a fair bit for work and often find myself in places that don't have a hipster-operated burger joint, much less a four star dining establishment. There food is good and they have a variety of decent healthy options too, at least for sides. Very consistent.
Tomato sandwiches are haute cuisine. Dukes Mayo. For a little different taste, add Trader Joes "Everything but the Bagel" seasoning. There are only two things that money can't buy, that's True Love and Home Grown Tomatoes.
I am sure that I am NOT the only foodie that is a closet lover of some low end luscious foods and recopies. I'll fess up right now. I happen to like some foods that aren't trendy.
I doubt if anyone who eats fast food or frozen/boxed vegetables could be considered a "foodie" by true "foodie" circles.
Which is an abhorrent term and should be terminated from the English language. We all eat food; therefore, we are all "foodies".
Food snobbery. Bah.
