My guilty pleasure is a chiko roll. There is a cafe near work that has the deep frier churning out food, so they are not sitting in a bain marie for too long and are crispy and yum. I have about 2 or 3 a year..delish!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-70318513451598000962011-05-24T21:43:18.148+10:002011-05-24T21:43:18.148+10:00I have yet to visit Costco...

I love the States and have spent a lot of time there (you can read some US foodie posts by clicking on the tag 'USA' in the list of tags in the sidebar) I do the same thing with the chicken breasts!<br /><br />Andrew, yes! I am glad I am a closeted Costco food courter no longer. I know the American cheese well, aka "dad's orange cheese"<br /><br />Agnes... I was there the first night too!!! So we can be sad together! :)<br /><br />Bryan come along with me one time! It is not as evil and consumerist as people think. I am probably a more mindful shopper there as I have to think, "Do I really want eighteen muffins" versus "oh go on, one won't hurt"<br /><br />Marine you are absolutely right. After all didn't Matt Preston take Anthony Bourdain to one of those roadside kebab vans as an example of classic Melbourne food??!!<br /><br />Maddy yes we all surely do! Mine include whole tubs of Chris' spring onion dip imbibed with a box of Savoys. Ohhhh yes. You can get a visitor's pass if you want to check Costco out.Lauren aka Ms Bakloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08540872180823771651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-79912659161750549762011-05-23T21:12:11.429+10:002011-05-23T21:12:11.429+10:00Guilty food pleasures can be so much fun, and Cost...Guilty food pleasures can be so much fun, and Costco is full of them.

It makes me feel a little sad actually :( <br /><br />Food is food (and i am aware people will totally disagree with me), stuff we put in our mouths and swallow, and yes we eat good things but at times we also like the bad stuff. <br />It ain't shameful :) And why should it be?<br />Don't get me wrong, i know there is bad food out there and yeah, it can be quite tasty sometimes hehehe :)<br /><br />I don't think being a 'foodie' is about only eating 'good' food and discarding the 'bad' food. Or feeling embarrassed or shameful that we ate and perhaps actually enjoyed it.<br /><br />Whats so bad about a little cheapo treat here and there :) Let's celebrate it! Because we all know, that all or most of us, secretly enjoy the 'badies' once in a while.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-43374237416382712942011-05-23T13:50:39.200+10:002011-05-23T13:50:39.200+10:00Am glad they are responding to consumer requests. ...Am glad they are responding to consumer requests.
