Can anyone name a food or drink that is considered indulgent, enjoyable and 'bad for you in excess' that is not BROWN or various shades of?
When I think of all the food and drink that I really love, Beer, Chocolate, Peanuts, Donuts, Cake, Steak, Chips, Chilli Con Carne, Curry, Pretzels.... its all BROWN.
Only two come to mind that are not brown - Bacon and Red Wine.

    As long as you ignore the base, base, base, base, ignore the buttery biscuit base... cheesecake isn't brown.

    Surely all the filling and the cream are brown or very pale brown. Its only the fruit topping that isnt.

    Depends on the cheesecake, I reckon. Baked ones have a hint of brown, but I wouldn't say there was a lot of brown in the ones made, er, the other way (he says, demonstrating his total lack of culinary experience).

    Everything my wife cooks is a brown colour, certainly cant be described as indulgent or enjoyable but is certainly bad for you.

    Mix enough colours together and you get brown.

    Mix enough foods/drinks together and you get brown.

    Conclusion - Stop mixing your foods/drinks up. :wink:

    PS:- For the guys out there - Just because something is not a primary colour, it doesn't mean it is brown. Apart from chocolate, I have never had a brown cheesecake. :?
    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    You most certainly do - garlic chilli chicken, red wine and tangfastics do it for me..... :oops:

    any pasta sauce using double cream? and I wouldn't class cheese as brown in colour either.

    Fried breakfast. Black pudding, white pudding, fried eggs, baked beans, grilled tomato, bacon. With black coffee and orange juice.

    Not a trace of brown. Unless you have hash browns.

    I only eat brown food.

    Brown rice, brown bread, brown pasta etc

    Indulgent for me would be white food, white rice, potatoes, anything made from white flour.

    Some pizzas and a lot of pasta dishes have very little brown about them. Also most flavours of ice cream. On the whole though, a lot of food is brown or brownish.
