I am only ashamed of the energy I spent feeling ashamed of my tastes.

Death metal. Death metal while birding (or more like processing footage). Death metal while cross stitching. Death metal while crocheting. It's a weird outlet that I mostly keep to myself.
I can't let go of it either, though I don't listen to it as frequently anymore. Got any good recs?
I really... Really like Smirnoff Ice. I'm 44.
No shame in that, it's literally like getting drunk on lemonade. Shit was delicious.
Not like I've drank any in like 15 years, but I have some fond memories of younger me drinking this crap lol
I cook ramen normally then spread it on the plate. Then I open a can of cream of mushroom.... Straight on top of the ramen cold... Next is a can of French cut green beans, drained, then straight to the pile. My wife won't let me eat it around her
You got someone to marry you with that habit intact?!
You don't lead with that! You want until the relationship is established before something like that.
I am not a great cook and eat a lot of of crap... But this is too much, even for me. I think I'm going to throw up in my mouth...
The approach feels wrong, but taking the noodles/cooking water, adding the can of soup (condensed I assume) and letting the noodle water thin out it, and mixing in green beans doesn't actually sound horrific. It might look vile though.
I'm a little unsure about the prep, but that does sound pretty good
I'm curious if OP ever tried heating the cream of mushroom and green beans but decided it was preferable to eat them cold right out of the can.
I fuck with hot gas station sandwiches. Like the ones they have wrapped in paper/foil in the little to-go heat lamp hut. Also anything from the hot roller. Like taquitoes or doom dogs as I call them. I like em extra dizzy and sweaty. Maybe with a packet of onion slime on em.
I survived on that stuff as a teen. You could get a pretty solid meal at the gas station for like $3. But this was also back when McDonald's had a dollar menu and you could get 2 mcdoubles and a drink for $3.

I was hoping to read something in the style of that watermelon-guy :)
If anything I feel less ashamed than when I was a teenager. I still love cute stuff, stupid humor and toys :)
I learned to drive when I was about 16. My parents never had any food in the house, plus two extremely aggressive dobermans in the kitchen, so I couldn't go in there anyway.
So sometimes I would sneak out right before MacDs close and eat a burger in the parking lot.
I'm a lot older now, but occasionally I still eat fast food in the darkness of the Walmart parking lot
I find it calming for some reason.
Bonus hilarity:
At Xmas in 1979 I had an Xmas tree lot with a slave driver boss -- 12 to 18 hours a day. (He did partially pay me with a shopping bag full of wed.)
On night I got off around midnight and headed off to the local Mcds, order my food, and visit the restroom to take a piss -- and somehow managed to drop my car keys in the piss water.
Not my favorite day ever.
Then I get home and find that they had released the dogs in the whole house and I had to yell and pound on the door to get my mother to lock them up.
FML
wow friend, your folks are shit I'm sorry you went through all that. I know it was a while ago but that kinda stuff really lingers with me from my own childhood, I hope you're doing better now
I'm in my 40s and still put ketchup on my hotdogs. Also, I still eat hotdogs.
puts down bun
Were we supposed to stop at some point?
This should not shame anyone. Hot dogs are wonderful, and ketchup is a fine additive.
I've been known to put baked beans on mine, and potato chips on my burgers (that salty crunch is grand). Having a kid lets you revisit many of these.
Potato chips on burgers - I like to call that "fat guy lettuce"... Adds a nice crunch.
You should not have to feel ashamed. Come to Denmark. We have perfected the hotdog.
The correct toppings are:
- Ketchup
- Mustard (preferably dijon, but some like the sweet variant)
- Remulade
- Both raw and roasted onions
- Slices of pickled cucumber
What's remulade you ask? It is the slightly tangy/sweet thick sauce that ties the whole thing together.
What the hell is wrong with hot dogs and what are you supposed to put on them if not ketchup (and mustard)?
Chef Boyardee and Heinz Tinned Spaghetti.
If Iβm doing a grocery shop alone, I canβt be trusted not to buy some. Sometimes I bring some home. Sometimes it doesnβt make it.
Oh yeah, I like it cold too. I know Iβm a monster.
You eat cold Chef Boyardee in the car before you even get home from the store?
Wtf dog
My coworkers look at me like I'm a monster for just grabbing a fork and eating the chef boyardee spaghetti and meatballs straight out of the can.
My least favorite thing about pizza rolls is carrying them up to the checkout counter. I do what I think is a good job cooking for myself, including making pizza from scratch on a regular basis, but sometimes I do want to sit down and play a zone out video game and munch on some objectively awful pre-packaged oven junk food. I think without that down time I'd have burned down my own face by now. Somehow still feel like I'm supposed to be embarrassed about carrying them up to the cashier and being like "I would like to purchase and own this, please."
I put ridiculous amounts of cocoa powder in a glass of milk. Like ALOT. Liquid chocolate. Especially love the stuff left at the bottom that didn't mix.
Put a couple of tablespoons of hot (from the tap - not boiling) water in first, then add cocoa powder and stir with a fork to break up the lumps. Then add milk and stir again, cocoa is dissolved! Personally I canβt stand the undissolved cocoa, thatβs less chocolate for me to drink.
I still dance when Iβm alone.
I donβt even need music any more
I don't think I'm ashamed of any, in all honesty. Even back then, I was a shameless idiot. I think I'm just much less of an ignorant, impulsive asshole than back then, but otherwise... I'm not that different.
2000βs popular rap. G-g-g-g-unit!!!!
I'm a railroad and siren enthusiast. Many people look down on the hobbies as "childish", although there are tons of adults who participate. I still feel uneasy telling people though, because I fear how they'll react.
I took a ride in a steam train for the first time last week and it was so cool. Trains are badass.
Not knowing how to enjoy anything.
Dark brown sugar sandwiches. Yep fresh water bread. Butter thick. Dark brown sugar between. Yeah I'll probably be having a heart attack any day now.
Junk food like instant ramen everyday Jack in the box tacos, ground beef and cheese nachos etc.
I consider myself a foodie having spent hundreds on a meal for one person not including drinks. I enjoy both extremes of the spectrum I suppose.
Very rarely I crave some disgusting Kraft Mac & Cheese and a can of Dr Pepper. The former being not easy to get in Germany.
I still occasionally enjoy modern rap from time to time with super bassy catchy beats while the subject manner is almost universally angry and hateful stuff about murder and suicide and self interest. $suicideboys$ witchouse40k scales those kinds of artist. I do not like or agree with the message of the music at all, but cannot deny some of their songs have some of the most punchy beats I've ever heard.
I still love cheesy, badly written thrash metal.
...but no one likes my playlists...
I won't eat onions of any kind. It's a hard no.
I crave hot pockets. I can eat 4 in one sitting. I just don't buy them anymore because if they're in the house I binge on them. I eat much more healthy now, but if the negative consequences weren't there, I'd eat nothing but hot pockets and fast food.
I'm a nail biter. I've managed to curb the habit enough to have pretty nails most of the time, but every now and then I succumb to the habit and have to regrow them. So annoying.
I listen to 1980s pop music, makes me feel good like I used to in The Time Before.
