Salutary, unwholesome. Start with the second blank. Most people would not indulge in a “proclivity” (inclination or predisposition) toward dishes that are odious (extremely unpleasant) or sodden (soaked); the correct word must be unwholesome (not conducive to health), which also agrees with the clue “fattening.” The first word should contrast with this because of the pivot “though.” The best bet is salutary (conducive to health). Truculent (ferocious, cruel, or savage) and frugal (economical in the spending of money or resources) do not work.
