Favorite Junk Food (chocolate not included)
Evil Doctor Moreau has kidnapped you and banished you to a desert island. He’s given you a gourmet cook and all the food you want except you are not allowed to eat anything that’s on the following list. You plead for mercy and he condescending agrees to let you have one. See, he’s not totally evil after all.

Pizza is not a junk food. It is a basic food group.

I think it could be considered a perfect meal if eaten with beer.

Important omission - poll incomplete
Mr./Ms. Pollster:
I take exception to your leaving out an "all of the above" selection
Seriously, though, I have a weakness for popcorn.
I make it the old fashioned way - in a large stove-top soup pot with a little oil and salt - no butter needed. Yumm.....

Ice cream. Nothing else comes close.
Ben and Jerry's Half-Baked is a good one.

Or a nice glass of Chianti.
Pizza is NOT "junk food". You get carbs, you get dairy, you get veggies, you get olive oil and if you top it with broccoli rabe (my favorite pizza topping), it becomes "health food". And if you get it at Denino's in Staten Island, you will savor every bite.

Beer is also a basic food group.

Add anchovies and mushrooms and it is complete, but don't forget to cross the street for some fruit intake at Ralph's Ices.

I just love broccoli rabe and I make home made pizza all the time, never used it as a topping. I'll make sure to try that !

Funny you should mention that. My cousin lives in Staten Island and he's a "pizza snob". My wife had to attend a bridal shower in SI last summer and my cousin took me to Denino's and after we wolfed down a pizza at the bar we hit Ralph's. If I remember correctly, Ralph's was at that location since 1928.

I voted for "ice cream", but as another had asked, why leave out "chocolate"....?
Is it because, it is considered a "staple" ?... ... It is my biggest weakness...
