What's your guilty food pleasure?
Mine is fresh out of the oven French bread, crusty on the outside and steaming hot on the inside. Topped with a slathering of garlic butter.
I'll savor a few bites, and then dip it into a hot bowl of corn chowder or creamy clam chowder.
Accompanied by a nice glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. Or two. Or three.
Not guilty, but I'll have a nice cheese and grape platter on the side.
I think I'll indulge tonight. Since it's a Sunday.

I don’t feel guilty about enjoying food. But one of my favorites is shepherd’s pie.

Fresh baked bread of many sorts is a great pleasure, nothing remotely guilty about it. Plain, or with butter and garlic, or, much better, with good olive oil (with or without the garlic.) Pizza and flatbreads, too.
Certain fruits and vegetables at peak season. Juice freshly squeezed from good, choice oranges.
The smell of certain foods flavored with spices and herbs: rosemary, basil, yerba buena, cardamom, cinnamon, anise, paprika...
But fuck guilty pleasure. It's food, a necessity of life so why not enjoy it? I hate that Ina Garten and Lynne Rossetto Kasper chorus, like naughty old drunks seeking forgiveness for enjoying a glass of wine or a Roman fried artichoke or a crusty bread drizzled with a beautiful olive oil.
Ina Garten's brand of fat comes from devouring a giant tub of foie gras and a whole cheesecake or three before lunch, it's not the fault of "a glass of good wine" or any halfway sensible food eaten in halfway sensible quantity.

Bread has to sit for a bit after it comes out of the oven to "finish".
Anyway, mine is liverwurst on rye bread with a glass of white wine. Not too sweet.
