What’s your secret food pleasure?
When I was a kid, I used to eat peanut butter and syrup on Eggo waffles just about every morning for breakfast.
It was a decadent treat that I’m happy to admit that I still indulge in every once in a while. Some people would call this a guilty pleasure, but just because I don’t broadcast to the world that I’m a sucker for cottage cheese topped with black olives, raisins, sunflower seeds and crunchy chow mein noodles doesn’t mean that I feel guilty about eating it.
It’s just a food pleasure — like Campbell’s chicken noodle soup mixed with handfuls of crumbled Premium saltine crackers — that I hold near and dear to my heart.
In honor of Valentine’s Day, I’m doing a story about the special relationships we have with these sometimes weird or unique foods that we love eating as much as grandma’s brunch or a fancy dinner at a nice restaurant.
Whether you drink out of the milk carton and then squirt chocolate sauce in your mouth or go weak in the knees for Cheez Whiz on Cheez-Its, I want to hear about it. I’ll be publishing many of the responses in a story in next week’s food section, so leave a comment, send an email to abroyles@statesman.com or tweet your responses to @broylesa. Heck, you can even phone them in if you like by calling 912-2504.
So, what is your secret/guilty/indulgent food pleasure?
