OMG. What is wrong with these people? Ice cream is like the sweet flesh of Satan himself. Fat Elvis, Pumpkin, Orange Custard Chip, Coconut Fudge With Almonds, Chubby Hubby, Chocolate Mint, Blizzards, Dilly Bars, Choco Taco, King Cone, Heath Bar, Peppermint, Cookies & Cream. It is not contest. Anybody who didn’t say ice cream is stupid. Heart surgery, here I come.

Thanks! Once you get the sugar out of your system, it gets much easier…of course, not having sugar after having sugar for 30 years is coma inducing.

Trisha-
I’m very proud of you then, for resisting temptation. The allure of A-I above is very great, so it takes a strong will to be able to avoid them. Good luck at continuing that!

Thanks, Oz!
See, I did eat those things, lots in fact. But I am an alcoholic, and I have found it easier to not drink without any more sugar than necessary in my bod. Plus, the sugar, it makes me either bitchy or sleepy.
And I am also just so darned superior.

Never before have I seen a weekly opinion poll stir so much controversy, yet ultimately bring us all closer to one another.

Fruit on pizza vs. meat only, Canadian vs. American, White Castle vs. McDonald’s, to curd or not to curd – I guess what I hear you saying is that we’re all just people deep down inside.

People who need to be loved. And if that love – like most of my memorable romances – happens to involve whipped cream and doughnuts, then so be it.

Alright, I wasn’t going to weigh in…until Trisha’s comment…
I eat ALL of those things…often at the same sitting. Jenny forgot to mention that Lily also served homemade chocolate ice cream at the same time as the Krispy Kreme Bread pudding. It’s damn good, too. I’m a very lucky guy, being her husband and all…I benefit from her cooking daily(and Jessica, I agree- she should have her own blog- I’m working on her, she may break down and do it…)
Hey, the title of this entry is gluttony- so I choose all the letters above, as well as J-Z, which would include burritos, caramel anything, olives, etc. etc.
I’m not the skinniest guy in town, but I may be the happiest…
P.S. Trisha, I checked out your blog to see what kind of person didn’t eat any of those foods- and I really like your blog. Go figure. Maybe we don’t see eye to eye on food, but we share some of the same perspectives as parents and people…

I don’t eat any of those items.

I had to Google ‘White Castle’. I had never heard of it before. (“Where is she FROM?! Oh – she’s Canadian.”) Fast food is gross. I never eat fast food – with the exception of poutine about once a year. (A mixture of french fries with cheese curds, covered with hot gravy. The curds go soft in the warm fries, without completely melting. Origin: The province of Quebec, in the 1950s. Okay, enough culinary history.)
And I pick a big, emphatic ‘G’ from your list, Jen.

Jenny…sorry, last comment – I promise! After my last one, I realized that it wasn’t that you weren’t familiar with WC, it was that you, too, are frightened by it…sorry for the confusion (and the unnecessary education).

Jenny –
I meant to respond to your unfamiliarity of White Castles….
They are mystery meat that your body violenty rejects prior to acclimation. I remember being 8 years old and lying in a fetal position on the couch, hands over my tummy and feeling genuinely green. When my grandmother asked what was wrong with me, my dad heartily replied, “She had her first White Castle today!”
I’ve been told that one must be drunk in order to truly appreciate their tastiness but both ends of me must strongly disagree. My husband (who loves White Castle) once said that heroin is better for a person than White Castle – judging from the way my colleagues inhale them, I’m guessing that heroin is also less addictive.
