I'm not a sweets kind of ferret, so generally nothing like ice cream or pasties.

But heavily salted snack foods?
Potato chips (specifically Mrs. Fischers. I also love Mr. Gs but after I saw they were heavy in trans fat, I stopped picking them up.)
Shoestring Potatoes (put a bag of chips or a can of these in front of me and I'll eat unconsciously until its empty)
Totinos Pizza Rolls (They used to be Jino's Pizza Rolls, but I think they were bought out)
Pizza Bagel Snacks
Homemade popped popcorn with an entire stick of butter melted on it!
Movie Theater Popcorn
Cheetos (any style -- another snack where I'll unconsciously eat the whole.bag. "Dad! Did you eat all the Cheetos? We just bought that family-sized bag!")
Doritos (nacho or taco flavored)
Snider's of Hanover pretzel pieces (OMG, the cheddar is so good! And so fattening)
M&Ms with Peanuts (when I was recovering from shoulder surgery, I went through 10 or 15 pounds of these)

I try not to have any of those in the house, except popcorn.

Well, here's the recipe I use: http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2007/11/delicious_creamy_mashed_potatoes/

Ingredients list:

5 pounds Russet Or Yukon Gold Potatoes
3/4 cups Butter
1 package (8 Oz.) Cream Cheese, Softened
1/2 cup (to 3/4 Cups) Half-and-Half
1/2 teaspoon (to 1 Teaspoon) Lawry's Seasoned Salt
1/2 teaspoon (to 1 Teaspoon) Black Pepper

I cut the cream cheese and butter down when I go "light" and it still tastes sinful.

I have to try these some day! I love her potato soup recipe though.

I really just love potatoes. :D

When lived in the US, I loved:

Ruffles, a big bag accompanied by a tub of French onion dip.
Hot dogs.
Pizza rolls
Kraft Mac 'n cheese.
KFC mashed potatoes and gravy. I have tried to replicate the gravy and I just can't do it. :(

Oh, I love frosting. Betty Crocker tubs used to line the computer room when I was younger because I would sneak them away from the pantry and hide them there for when I was writing. Nowadays, I haven't eaten raw icing in almost a year, but I know that when I do buy myself a celebratory tub towards the end of my novel, it'll be good old milk chocolate.:banana:

Ritz crackers and vegetable cream cheese. Also, Chinese pork fried dumplings, also Ben and Jerry's Tiramisu ice cream, also cheese of all persuasions. I try to avoid ruling out any cheeses, so as not to offend. Brie is my favorite.

All the potato chips (and foods in general) with MSG. I love sausage pizza -- pizza period! -- too much to consider it a guilty pleasure.

If it's sweet, I'm most likely going to eat it.

This is me...except I'm trying to cut out sugar these days. In the last four days I've turned down cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, warm from the oven cookies (from Tiff's Treats) and now my co-worker is telling us about a Death By Chocolate cake and I think I may have to try it! :D

Pretty much anything chocolate
Watermelon sherbet and 7up, blended together=a great drink for summer-time
Mocha Frappe from McDonald's
And m&m's when writing
*side note, has anyone else seen these Mega M&M's? I grabbed some at the store this morning, you can eat 3 of them and it's a whole handful of normal sized ones.

In no particular order:

cold pizza
Dark chocolate
croissants - heated with either butter, melted sharp cheese or marmalade
crispy bacon sandwiches
Toast with melted sharp cheddar and crisp bacon
coconut buns (the ones from Chinese bakeries)
Hickory Sticks (sorry, Canada only :D )
Dill Pickle chips (new to parts of the US)
UK Kit Kats (I swear the ones abroad don't taste the same) and milky bars
pepperoni sticks
McChicken or BK original chicken sandwiches, or A&W Papa Burgers
samosas with tamarind sauce or ketchup (Heinz only)
All-beef hotdogs nearly charred from the barbecue
spicy mayo with thick french fries
chicken or beef on a stick (again, I like when it's a bit charred)
butter - any excuse to slather it on
cream or anything creamy (better not be the fake stuff though!)
walnuts
those hard-chocolate covered mini donuts, or the ones that come fresh at fairgrounds

I think anything low fat or low sodium is an abomination.

I love nearly anything spicy and nothing irks me more than going to an Indian, Thai or Chinese restaurant, ordering one of the hotter dishes and getting an, 'are you sure'? Yes!

Also, I don't believe that there's such thing as too much cheese

Home-made bread. Not because it's anything to feel guilt over, in terms of what's in it, but the sheer amount of it I can scarf down. Ideally, with butter or jam. Or both.

Maryn, with hips to prove it

Oh, fresh out of the oven with some butter it's more addictive than any drug on the planet. I could probably eat a whole loaf.

Herr's cheese curls, any flavor (they put Cheetos to shame)
Cheez Its, any flavor
Coffee Crisp
Canadian/UK Kit Kats
Wunderbar (yes, I have a thing for Canadian junk food)
fast food breakfast sandwiches with bacon or sausage
dark chocolate peanut M&Ms
salt and vinegar potato chips
garlic bread topped with mozzarella cheese and dipped in ranch dressing (I rarely eat this now, but it's a holdover from my Pizza Hut waitressing days)

That's it for today. Heck, I agree with sassandgroove -- I love food.

OMG, Herr's Cheese Curls, they're what Cheetos dream of becoming if they're very, very good. The best cheedle ever! Sadly (or maybe fortunately!), I don't get to Herr's territory much these days.

State Line used to make cheese curls just as good as Herr's, but I haven't seen those in many many years. <<sigh>>

I love this description! So true.

I tried the Herr's buffalo blue cheese cheesy poofs a few weeks ago and they blew my mind. I'm still searching for the Old Bay ones.

I've been trying to think of mine, but it's this. It's all just too good not to eat.

Gah. Me too. I don't go in for sweets too much, though occasionally I want a piece of chocolate after dinner with my glass of wine.

I think my weakest spot is really junky kid food that I wasn't allowed when I was little. I had a hot dog and a leftover baked potato for breakfast.
