List: Foods I hate to love

Do you have a list of foods you almost never buy but can't stop yourself from eating at the buffet, diner or Christmas potluck? Here's mine:

6. Butter cookies. So bad. So very, very bad. But somehow they appear to have fewer calories when somebody else puts them on the table.

5. Eggs Benedict. I've made hollandaise sauce. I know how evil it is. But Benedict is so much better than the rubbery omelet next to it on the menu. I've learned that many restaurants will even switch out the tough English muffin for a biscuit, and they may even dress the top with vegetables. If they do, I'm doomed, because I can't say no. I just tell myself I'll skip lunch.

4. Little smokies sausages. They should gross me out: all that processed meat and fake smoke flavor. I don't touch them in the store, but I always take some from the buffet, especially if they're dripping with barbecue sauce.

3. Sherbet and soda punch. Everything about this combination says "yuck" to me. Sherbet is a poor excuse for ice cream and lemon-lime soda is a waste of calories. I usually end up drinking it because there's no other option, yet I enjoy it when I do.

2. Chocolate fondue. It's easy to do. I've even made it myself, usually for Easter, but that only means I know how nutritionally indefensible it is. I don't kid myself--the fruit it covers doesn't make it right. I whip it up on the rarest of occasions, but if there are chocolate covered strawberries at the buffet table, I'm there.

1. Jell-O in all its varieties. Solid. Solid with suspended fruit. Mixed into a "salad" with fruit and fake whipped cream.  I eat it and go straight back to happy childhood memories. The only variety I stay away from is the one with cabbage and carrots--but I think even the grandmas of neighborhood are moving away from that one.

That's my list. What's your favorite guilt-food?
