What’s your guilty food pleasure?

[Isabeau]

When I was young I liked eating the fat off a steak. I liked it so much my mother and father would sometimes cut the fat off their steaks and dump it in my dish.

The last 20 years I haven't really eaten steak more than a few times, so I'm not sure if I'm as into the fat as I once was.

The melt-in-your-mouth kind, or the chewy un-breakable kind?

I was really mad at myself this for missing my occasional "McDonald's big breakfast with hotcakes" breakfast. I have it maybe once a month when I reallyreallyreallyneedpancakesNOWurgently.

Heh. I was like that, as well. I also always insisted upon eating any extra crisp skin from either chicken or turkey. Everyone would give it to me.

Hey Jolene!!
Good to see you around again!

Yes.

Foy my family's taste in steak, it was usually the latter.

I had to look that one up, but the recipes look great.

So steak and chewing gum for the price of one.

You have some weird money saving techniques.

I like my steaks medium or even better saignant (a French style somewhere between medium and rare) with little fat to be honest.
A good steak has just enough fat to melt away during the baking process to keep the meat tender and juicy.

This thread is making me hungry.

Also, I thought of one, Cereal for a night snack.

 

[Jopsy Pendragon]

CABs (Carne Asada Burrito: marinated diced steak, guacamole, pico de gallo/salsa fresca... that's it. MmmmMMM!)

Trader Joe's Vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Spicey Peanut Satay Noodles. Which I can't find freaking anywhere since the pandemic started. =(

Bagels with smoked salmon, humus, onions, capers and olive tapenade.

 

[Veritable Quandry]

1 cup real peanut butter.
1 cup boiling water.
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar.
To taste:
Cilantro
Garlic cloves
Crushed hot red peppers
Fish or soy sauce

Mix. Toss with hot noodles or use on chicken.

^^^ can also put on the fishes ^^^

also, as Soen put McD on the table, when I have to be on the road all day and night, the meal will be a double cheeseburger, those fabulously greasy salty fries, and their truly brewed and generally fresh tea.

Local place makes the most amazing fall-off-the-bone grilled chicken in a thick, sticky black sauce, spiced Arab-style fried rice & a local soup with roasted beef (Ayam bakar, nasi goreng kebuli, soto Betawli).

It's cheap & delicious, our go-to order on payday & whenever we're too busy to cook. As we're not close to the resto, order too often, or are easy to find, I always send them a pic of the house.

Last time I ordered, they replied with the polite version of "WE KNOW!"

I LOVE nasi goreng but haven't made it in a really, really long time (now I have a craving and had to order Kecap Manis on Amazon). After reading this, I'm also craving Gado Gado for some reason. When I was a kid my Mom dated an Indonesian chef - best six months of my life when it came to eating really great food! I really wish she had married that guy.

 

[Ellie]

My son misses the food here the most & he is a passable cook of Indonesian food now living in the US.

I made spicy egg noodles with tahini satay sauce tonight, kecup manis really does make a difference.

Give me a good marbled grilled steak anytime!

My personal guilty pleasures? Anything potato. And anything cheese. And if you combine the two, it's almost orgasmic!
