Default Whats your guilty munch

You're a chef, or a foodie who loves creating with the best ingredients, but what's your guilty pleasure?
I'll start :- I love processed cheese on a burger. ... I love burgers from a dodgy on site burger van...I like to eat with my mouth open when i'm on my own...I really like fish fingers and tomato sauce...and i do actually like Spam... So shoot me!

Wheat Thins-especially with creamy deli tuna salad

Popcorn with nutritional yeast, ok, it's not really unhealthy---but Man, I love that stuff.

Nutter Butter cookies-especially with beer

Sometimes I can knock back a box of Wheat Thins or Cheeze-its in a variety of flavors. Either with a very big, very cold, glass of milk. Maybe once or twice a year. An all-you-can-eat lunch at the local Hometown Buffet when they have their meat loaf on the menu. It's really bottom of the barrel food, but their ketchupy, burnt meat loaf really pushes my buttons. I wish I could make it at home, although it would probably lose it's allure.

chips....fries with aioli.....
When I've got back to back events I'll go over a couple of blocks (still great restaurants, not dives) and get a burger and fries.....aioli please.....

Ditto, I've got a buddy and his wife that own/chef a 60ish seat place with scratch food...fritto misto, killer aioli, buerre blanc....um does not even matter what they slather it on I'm all about the sauce....I take um lavosh or last week it was sweet potato samosas, they feed me pate.

Cooked for NPR, capital campaign dinner a couple of nights ago and hit WF on the way home for crappy sushi and Lincet cheese....

Chips come way before candy.

Dodgy kebabs for me!! - sweet potato samosas sound really good. I make paneer and sweetcorn samosas - Hugely popular in my cafe! Sometimes when I have ACTUALLY been to the gym - thick french fries with cilantro chutney and ketchup!

Bombayben, would you care to share your recipe? I love the idea of paneer in samosas. I make pastry for mine the way i was taught rather than using Filo.


Sorry cape chef maybe should have posted this elsewhere, I'll consider my wrist slapped

Default hmmm let me think

a mcdonalds apple pie
or a beef and cheese pie
or salt and vinegar potato crisps with a blue cheese dip
or something really chocolatey and fudgy

it all depends on the day really
or a handful of freshly roasted lightly salted mixed nuts

I don't feel guilty occasionally eating food that is only good for my taste buds

Sausages . . mmmm . . . and sometimes I really munch out on rich cheese with baguette. Bacon is another food I find hard to resist. And creme brulee. But I don't feel guilty at all because I tell myself it's extremely good for my taste buds.

As i understand guilty pleasure, it = something you love to eat, but wouldnt want to readily admit to to your cheffie peers. ie. grubby, processed gunk
Guilty pleasure music would make another good thread i reckon but for another forum. I'll post it later
