You can do both, Rick. :D

Beignets, yes! Preferably at the Cafe du Monde, with chicory coffee. Being there.

Peanut butter and banana sandwich. :D
Peanut butter and honey sandwich.
Boiled peanuts. (Gotta be fresh picked, 'green' peanuts though. Dried ones don't boil up as good, although that's what all the roadside stands start with.) :D :D :D

How can you refer to survival/comfort food as sinful? :D

...although I remember times when the banana and honey were beyond me.

Can't get simpler than one ingredient, with a cooking time of 30 seconds. An optional sprinkle of salt would make it two ingredients.

Small slab of foie gras seared in a hot pan. No higher pleasure involved in anything you put in your mouth and swallow (had to add the last part lest some of this rowdy crew embark on rudeness!) :mrgreen:

Hum along...

For lunch you can have two martinis,
What better lunch is there than that?
But, caution, do not eat the olives,
'Cause olives make you fat!

Good one!

I also like Dorothy Parker's quote:

"I like to drink martinis. Two at the most. Three I'm under the table, four I'm under the host."
