Grilled cheese and peanut butter. Made with 2 slices of American cheese - no more, no less - and chunky peanut butter.

I've never met anyone outside of my own family who eats this.

Cold Hot Dogs straight out of the package. I also like cold little smokies - no heat allowed. I would only eat these when I was alone at home - too embarrassed to admit I eat this way on occassion.

I finally broke down and admitted this to my older sister and said I wondered where I got this from. She laughed and said that when she would baby sit me and wasn't allowed to use the stove (pre-microwave days in the early 60's) she would feed me hot dogs that had been "warmed up" under the hot water tap. Now I know why cold hot dogs are comfort food - although I still eat them when I am by myself.

haha, I thought I was the only one!

I buy packs of turkey-meat hot dogs and eat them raw (well, probably not 100% raw, but cold out of the package). They're soooooo good. Sometimes I'll slice them up into eggs or pasta, as well, but they can't be cooked in any way.

Chunky Peanut butter and sour plum jam on crackers.

Sourdough bread topped with Sharp Cheddar and toasted until brown and bubbly under a broiler, then topped with crisp bacon and slices of ripe tomato.

Grape Nuts with ripe peaches.

Raisin Bran

Vanilla Ice Cream with Praline Sauce and Cinnamon-roasted Pecans

Dislikes....

Having to search for (or make my own) BBQ sauce in which sugar, corn syrup or some intensely sweetened product is not one of the first 4 ingredients. On the day of Judgement, God will strike dead those who produce and consume sweet BBQ sauce.

I have eaten at McDonald's in both Paris and Rome.

When I was in HS we used to go on Outward Bound (10 day bushwalking caving rafting abseiling type thing) every year and we had to carry all our food with us so a lot of what we had was canned or dehydrated. My lunch speciality was a Ryvita biscuit with canned tuna, a slice of cheese, creamed corn, no names SPAM and canned beetrot all on top. The degustation of camp menus I would say!

Stagg Chilli is good for canned stuff, that is my confession :)

Durum doner in Berlin. Best post bar food ever.:)

I love cold leftover pizza for breakfast. Hawaiian and pepperoni are the best.

If I'm still hungry I might have a poptart.

Good gawd. Long before they were a crappy motel chain, they were a crappy restaurant chain. Although, somewhere in DiningBuzz, I have confessed to liking a few items from their menu (corn & blueberry toastees, black raspberry ice cream and clam rolls).

I have traveled all over the US and never seen, but I am young :)
Of course if it said 'Howard Johnson' I probably put it on mental block.

The last one I remember seeing and eating at was in Fairfield California circa 1980.

Some of their hotel properties are very nice for the price IMO.

They were the kings of the highway back in the 50's and 60's. They had exclusive rights to rest area catering on the Mass turnpike and other toll roads. The last one I ate at was probably 1993 or so off I-81 in southwest VA, somewheres around Bristol.
