If you could eat anything you wanted, and not have to worry about gaining weight/being unhealthy/inhumane, what would you totally pig out on?

I have a hankering for grilled meat - specifically beef. If I could eat all I wanted without consequences I'd want to grill beef. Barbecued steaks, rolled joints and even Argentine style asado of whole sides of beef.
On the whole I prefer meat raw (not blue, but actually uncooked) or well done. I really dislike the halfway house of meat that is cooked to medium. Clearly, the people eating it can't make up their mind as to whether they want it cooked or not and so they sit on the fence and go for something which isn't really properly cooked but isn't loses the wonderful tastes of a fresh, raw piece of beef.
But this is about grilled meat. Grilled meat takes on extra flavour from the fire and the heat helps the beautiful fat melt, flavouring and lubricating the flesh as the protein relaxes.
Of course, all this needs to be served with something to wash it down and beer isn't going to cut it if I'm looking for best. Red wine it is and I suspect I'd be looking for something from Western Australia as it's hard to go back to lighter European wines after tasking something with real zing and fantastic flavours.
