I guess mine would be country ham with red eye gravy and also fried fatback (with a plate of pinto beans and onions). Both of these things are supposed to kill you but my grandfather ate one or the other every day I knew him and he lived to be 2 months short of 84 and was in good health until the very end.

Sounds good. Big dish in our family was beans and bullets. That was the older green beans on the vine that were cooked all day with fatback and served with fried potatoes

OH YEAH, do you like leather britches? (green beans sun dried and then boiled with some fatback)

Yup.. went by a different name to us. One of the best desserts as a kid was day old cornbread crumbled in a glass with milk and either salt and pepper or sugar depending on your taste.
Big dish during the summer was "fresh pickles".. sliced cucumbers and onions in a bowl of vinegar with sugar. That and a big platter of sliced tomatoes. Man I am getting hungry.

A nice fillet steak medium rare with tarragon butter, or a lovely piece of belly pork with crispy fat, a nice salad with haloumi cheese courgette tomato and aubregine kebabs french fries, washed down with a few delicous Welsh Gwynt Y Draig Cider's, the perfect meal, that's what will be going down next sunny day.

I concur with Bullgoose, I wish there were only two guilty pleasure foods. There are just so many tasty, tantalizing foods one cannot just have two. However, if I had to select my last two meals they would be:
a large plate, a mountain of white pasta drenched in meat sauce, atop which lies several large meatballs, the whole drizzled with the snow-like, salty and savory shavings of Parmigiano-Reggiano, coupled with a nice Bottle of full bodied Barolo to cleanse the palate after each bite; and
a 4-5 egg omelet, which we call a Mish Mash in Montreal, whose ingredients include but not limited to the following: sausage, bacon, peppers, onions, cheese, ham, mushrooms, with a good serving of hash browned potatoes doused in ketchup, and a cold glass of regular fat milk. Oh my god, the saliva is running madly. Take care and Happy Shaving, Sam.
