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

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

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:blush:
Guilty pleasure music would make another good thread i reckon but for another forum. I'll post it later

Why not post it now? I'd be interested in your grubby music.

And by the way, my lineage is Scottish and English. I like bagpipes when i am fully awake. Being woken up to bagpipes might be a traumatic experience.

just did AndyG

In the non food forum. Not sure yet what my guilty pleasure music is yet. Off the top of my head its some of the musak they play in lifts, on call waiting and in shopping precincts at christmas.- Shoot me now!!!
Go to my new thread on non food and give us all a laugh:smiles:
Bagpipes should have a curfew for sure. Why the **** do they feel the need to practice at ungodly hours of a sunday morning... reckon they're trying to make us all feel patriotic...Stick to the highland games pleeeaaase!! Oh and the parades through town are okay too. Actually they do bring out the goosebumps.

Oh no, bughut likes elevator music. Once I went grocery shopping and the music was an elevator version of Bob Marley's "Jammin". Lost my appetite :D

Foodnfoto-

Popcorn with nutritional yeast

Brewers yeast, or what? Just sprinkle it on? Any other ingredients?

For years I've dressed my popcorn with very garlicy butter, squirt of Worcestershipe and Tabasco, sprinkled with grated cheese when hot out of the micro. :bounce: (It's NOT microwave popcorn; it's fresh in a nice little Presto PowerPopper which goes for about $20 and does a great job.)

Another favorite is blue cheese crumbled and melted in the butter and stirred vigorously into the hot corn.

Mike :smoking:

My all time favorite is M&Ms Any flavor any color.

Sliders! Still can't beat that craving. Then there's Hot Wings and the mack daddy(while at work)...Fresh fries or potato chips dipped in jalapeno Tarter sauce. Spent many an hour in the kitchen making sure that both of these were serveable:rolleyes:

AndyG Elevator musak is totally mind numbing. I like that. Mines so full of what needs done, I like numb sometimes really. I like the idea that we can admit to the grubby in the cold light of day. Something i only share with fellow chefs and foodies when we're all flying 3 sheets to the wind

American sliders are these little tiny hamburgers topped with grilled onions. Google White Castle, and you'll find more then you want to know.

My apologies Bughut. I sometimes forget the International nature of this site.:o thetincook straightened things out tho. But don't forget the condiment they use. It's a mix of brown mustard, horseradish and ketchup.
White Castles! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm:lips:
