Sometimes we all crave something weird. And while the combination may be very surprising and in some cases hands-down embarrassing, it does the trick and curbs that inner foodie monster.
So when an anonymous Redditor asked people to share their favorite "junky" meals that they crave sometimes — even if they wouldn't ever serve them to guests — Pandora's box of the weirdest recipes was opened and the responses started rolling in.
Below are people’s weirdest comfort foods that they don’t even dare to eat in front of their family.

Salami and olives eaten straight from their respective containers. Just slices of salami and forkfulls of green olives. I feel awful abt myself when I eat it but if I'm already depressed and just want comfort food gosh it's such an enjoyable meal. Also pork & bean sandwiches. Also also, canned tuna with mayonnaise and flamin hot cheetos.

Growing up I was left on my own alot for dinner. Youngest child of two working parents and all that.
I made alot of canned corned beef hash with eggs.
I would get the pan hot, open the can and just scoop it into the pan. I'd always save a few scoops and just eat cold. After a couple minutes I'd crack 3-4 eggs into it, and cook while mixing till they were done. Topped with all the hot sauce.
I pass them in the isle while shopping and think about it alot. I don't know if I actually miss the meal or the nostalgia.

Pizza rolls, but made out of crescent rolls. I mean, it's literally just layering pizza ingredients inside refrigerated crescent roll dough, rolling it up, and baking it.

Mustard cheese sandwiches. You grate cheddar cheese, then you squirt yellow mustard on it, and mix it up until it becomes a thick paste. Then you spread it on toasted white bread. Add hot sauce to taste.

Does a mix of premade icing, crushed up Oreos, and mini MnMs count?

Probably the signature baked Frito burrito.
It’s basically baked beans from a can, ground beef, sour cream, diced tomatoes and chili cheese Frito’s in a tortilla god I could eat 8 of those f*****g things at once.

A shredded chicken sandwich. I only realized a couple years ago that it's an Ohio thing. It can be a thoughtful dish when you make it in the Crock-Pot with actual ingredients, but my dad and I do it the other way: canned chicken mixed with cream of chicken soup, nuked in the microwave. Serve it on a bun with a slice of American cheese, and you've got a delicious meal.
