Mac and Cheese from Luby's Cafeteria. Not sure if they're all over the US, but the place was created for old people I'm pretty sure, and i always feel disgusting if I eat there. But that mac and cheese is so damn good.

Wow, I'm sad to say that more than half of you named things that I love. I guess I'll pick out some highlights!
FIRST THING I thought of when I saw the title of the thread! It has to have that slightly crispy outside, but thick enough to have that Spam texture in the middle. Too thin and it's a weird meat chip... too thick, and it's kinda gross and overwhelming!
You should try the Spam Lite, with 50% less fat, 25% less sodium, 33% less calories (I actually had a can here I can reference). You're right, Original Spam is just way too salty now.
Capt'n Crunch.
Especially if you talk about the canned kind. It's gross and fantastic at the same time (maybe this is why I don't think dog food smells THAT bad...)
Spaghettios without the nasty little meatballs is gross. But together, they break some sort of critical mass of awesomeness.
Did you know that some McD's actually have the fried ones? It's usually the "retro" ones with the classic styling. There are a few here in the LA area.
Lasagna might be my favorite "weird" Pringles flavor.
Why does Hellman's/Best Foods mayo taste so much better than others???
One thing I haven't see anyone mentioned (or if I missed it, my apologies)... McDonald's Fries. (Have you ever dipped them in mayo??? Tasty).

preferably the type with bits of ham in it topped with a runny fried egg and sometimes with a slice of canned pineapple fried in butter.
I also have a love-hate relationship with canned corned beef, especially when my dog is looking at me with those sad sad eyes as though I'm eating something clearly meant for her.
I'd make an exception to the no-people-food rule but the high sodium content would make her barf and the last thing I want to do is clean up dog vomit while feeling slightly nauseous myself from all that salt.Ketchup or pickle flavoured chips.
Pork crackling from M&S (or any pork crackling I can get)
Variety meats.
Fried scorpions from Thai street vendors.

It's amazing how many of mine have already been mentioned.
I'll start with canned corned beef hash. I love the stuff. I've loved it since I was a little kid. Mrs. braslvr and I go through about 20 cans a year, fried up crispy.
*Spam(Lite) 10-12 cans a year.
*Corn dogs. Yes! especially the ones at the fair that are hand dipped in batter and fried after you order them. A rare treat.
*American Chinese food from decent places. Almost any vegie-meat stir-fry, or soup.
*Taco Bell original crunchy tacos. Pretty much all I will eat there.
*McDonalds. I really like Big Macs(without cheese), regular hamburgers, and hashbrowns. I love their pork sausage patties and therefore the sausage McMuffin w/egg(no cheese), or the big breakfast. Usually skip the fries.
*Kraft grated Parmesan cheese (dust
). On several things.
*Hostess chocolate cupcakes w/cold milk. All the time until about 20 years ago. Couple times a year since then.
*Jack in the Box tacos. About 4 a year these days.
*KFC original recipe chicken back in the day. It's not even close to the same now. I still like their instant potatoes and gravy occasionally, and the coleslaw.
And lastly.....
Breakfast at Dennys.
