    Default Foods of immediate regret

    That is, things you're sorry you ate, the moment you finish the last bite.

    Hah, KFC would have been my #1 choice. Here's another:

    So tasty, but it makes me so sick.
    So now they are just dirt-covered English people in fur pelts with credit cards.

    We went to my favorite Diner last night and this was a bad mistake as I was starting my diet this week. I could not order the chicken cordon bleu and while incredible delicious it is very fattening.

    At least I only ate about half of it.

    Within moments of my last bite I regret the whole thing.

    I can't think of any foods like that, but I practically always regret the part of the night when I drink shooters.

    Actually, now that you mention it, onion rings are like that for me. I don't order them for myself, and if I have one from a bunch that somebody else ordered, I don't tend to feel good about it after.

    Left unattended, I could eat half a bag of these at one sitting (preferably accompanied by two fingers of Jack Daniels over ice). Shame, horror, and railing at a god who would permit such atrocities follow immediately.

    I love Arby's jamocha shakes, and always have to order a large one, but dear Og do they leave me feeling stuffed.

    Oh, man. My first job ever was at an Arby's. I was 15. Sandwiches were discounted but still cost a nominal amount. Shakes (including the sublime jamocha) and fries (including the lovely curly variety) were free. Guess what I lived on for 18 months. Guess what still makes me a little nauseous 20 years later.

    Arby's? You still have Arby's out there? None are left near me. Roy Roger's is also pretty much gone.

    As I recall though Ohio in particular is the home and often launching point of every chain of fast food and family restaurants.

    Grandma used to give us those with canned spray cheese, and we'd fill the bugles up with it like tiny ice cream cones. God damn, that was good. I'm sure I'd regret it if I ate it now, though.

    And yet, still no good explanation on what the hell "jamocha" means

    KFC was my first thought on seeing the thread title. Especially the biscuits. Might not regret a piece of grilled chicken until it's time to take my rings off, but the biscuits? Uggh.

    A distant second would be a gyro from Crown Burger:



    It's so good. But so regrettable. I can feel myself growing chins after eating one, and I don't even eat it with the tzatziki sauce.

    (Confession: I just don't like tzatziki; in high school I used to get them with Ranch dressing on them. This might be the most Utah thing I have ever done in my life.)

    It's an onion ring loaf. Tony Roma's used to serve them. It's the laziest appetizer of all time, and I think it may well have started as a mistake: some cook dropped a basket of onion rings in the deep fryer, forgot to shake the basket periodically, and rather than toss the resultant grease-soaked brick in the trash, gave it a fancy name and quietly bought stock in Tums.

    Well, don't forget I grew up in Maryland, and that's where I worked at Arby's. I'm not sure if there are many left out east, but here in Utah they're still a thriving concern.

    Roy Rogers was consumed by the Hardee's/Carl's Jr. conglomerate, I thought.

    At a glance, that could just as easily be a bottle of some really nasty, cloying perfume, or a sleazy romance novel.

    I worked at Long John Silvers in my youth, and dealt with the same, free/half-price meal options. As an employee you had to pay for the chicken "planks," but the hush puppies, fries, and batter "crumbs" no one bothered about. The soda was also free. It was not uncommon for me to dine upon a large Coke, a large order of fries, and small tray of crumbs. If I felt I needed a vegetable component to my meal I might grab a cup of cocktail sauce.

    Yeah, that was me at Arby's, washing down a tray full of curly fries with 32 ounces of jamocha shake. :urk:

    Ah, to be 16 again and be able to do that with no worries for tomorrow. If I did that now, I would miss the next two days of work.

    It's a Scottish "delicacy" called a munch box or a munchy box. More here [NSFWS]: http://23x.net/5/what-is-a-munchy-box.html

    I can't get the photo inserted, but my personal "makes me feel dirty right after I'm done" food is the 7-Eleven Quarter-Pound Big Bite. Three-hundred-sixty heart-stopping calories, but ummmmmmmmm, so freakin' good!

    Clearly, you're missing out on the added joy - and added regret - of a generous squirt of nacho cheese sauce from the dispenser conveniently located right by the hot dog rollers.

    Not especially health compromising, but somehow very disgusting are the chopped onion grinder/dispenser you often see next to nacho-cheese squirters.

    I must have an iron stomach, because I can pretty much eat anything mentioned in this thread without any ill effects.

    With the exception of that thing AG posted.

    But gyros? For sure. Onion rings? KFC? Hush Puppies? Bring 'em on. And then bring some more.

    What I posted isn't really meant to be eaten by one person but I can tell you I could eat one, probably with no ill effect, although I've never tried one.
    One Scottish delicacy I love that isn't particularly unhealthy (or healthy) is macaroni pie.

    The regret is not necessarily physical; sometimes it is just a mental certainty that you have Done Something Terrible. Indigestion of the soul.

    Yes, I more often feel that than become physically uncomfortable because of what I've eaten, or how much I've eaten. I know my own stomach well enough to (usually) know when to stop... or when I should never start at all.

    Challenging, before or after you realize it's studded in the inside with plastic "prizes?"
