Favorite "Guilty Pleasure?"
At first I thought of asking preferred junk food, but that I felt that it didn't sufficently cover the topic of guilty pleasures. So, I choose to use the broad category of Convenience food (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convenience_food) which, as defined by the ever infallible wikipedia, pretty much covers everything from Spam to Starbucks. Unfortunetly, I haven't a clue as to how to create a poll. So...
What is your favorite "guilty pleasure" food?
Mine is, and always will be, chocolate, but specifically the chocolate spread Nutella (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutella) because of its universal application.

I drive around in an H1 I have modified to be louder and have more power, but less fuel efficiency.

Beef jerky and peperami. Both hideously bad for me, but they taste so good!

Twinkie (http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/A516836)-loose. Also, this. (http://www.mredepot.com/servlet/the-364/Yoder%E2%80%99s-Celebrity-Canned-Bacon/Detail)

That better not be fresh lettuce and tomatoes....
Chocolate.
Also, eating out. Though I'm not too bad with it. The worst I usually do is subway... except when I can't resist the call of the burrito joint on campus that charges $7 for a delicious burritos. And well, the people at my favourite falafel place recognize me, but lately they comment on me not coming in as often as I used to.

I don't ever feel guilty about food, but my go-to comfort snack is easy cheese and triscuits.

Bacon.
That's not a guilty pleasure, that's a staple in any diet. In fact it should be it's own food group.
As for my own guilty pleasures? Ribs and Super Nibs.
There's a nifty locally owned burger joint in my town...compared to chain fast-food restaurants, the food is better, the portions are larger, and the prices are cheaper...
...I go there way too much.

Slyders, from White Castle. It's what God eats in Heaven, after some really good smiting.

Pork scratchings - especially after a couple of pints.
So tasty yet so bad for me.

Nutella has very interesting applications, expecially when crossing to other pleasurable fields. :D
As for convenience food as above, I'll have to go with Ikea's reindeer mini-salami. Can't go there without buying a pack and finishing it before reaching the parking lot. Also dill-flavoured crisps.
As for non-convenience food... well... gorgonzola, taleggio, anchovies in hot-and-spicy sauce, and lardo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lardo) (which is not lard, we call that "strutto".)

spinach and feta filos.
Also, vegemite and grilled cheese on toast, and seafood sticks wrapped in bacon and fried on the bbq.

I really like the pickle-flavored potatoe chips. And ramen. I love ramen.
