Oily food refers to dishes that are high in fat content, typically because they are fried, sautéed, or cooked with large amounts of oil or butter. These foods often have a rich, greasy texture and a shiny appearance due to the oil. Common examples include fried chicken, French fries, doughnuts, and deep-fried snacks. While oily foods can be delicious and satisfying, they are usually calorie-dense and can feel heavy or greasy on the palate. Excessive consumption may lead to health issues such as weight gain or increased cholesterol levels.
