Food Porn
Mrs. Alphageek found a television show to watch while I drink bourbon. This fine show is No Reservations on the Travel Channel. I like the show because it is in high def. I think Mrs. Alphageek likes it because I usually don't talk a lot during the show. Yes, yes the underlined and in a different color means that is link to the shows web site. You go read about the show and then come back, I am not going anywhere.
We were watching an episode titled Food Porn. in this episode Mr. Bourdain eloquently gives his definition of food porn. He basically says that food porn is food that is way over the top, at least in terms of its opulence. You should go read that and come back, because I cannot improve on his statement of his position. I find his position somewhat ironic because the entire episode is filmed in a darkened theater. You figure the rest out.
I told this irony to Mrs. Alphageek and she replied, "well, what is your definition, and why are you telling me anyway? You should write this on your web site." So here I am, sharing this with all four of my followers. In my world, food porn is the lowest denominator. Food so basic, and probably bad for you too, that you never admit you eat it. If you were diagnosed with a terminal illness, you request to go eat your food porn. After all, what do you have to lose at that point?
Two items of food came to mind. The first is a Hardee's biscuit. Not just any biscuit, but a sausage and egg biscuit. I will have to say that is one of the best simple foods out there. If you really want to shock yourself, surf over to Hardee's web site and see the nutritional information on this delight. Instead, just go buy one and enjoy one of life's simple pleasures.
The second one that comes to mind was, unknowingly to him, submitted by The Common Man. The Common Man is a frequent reader here and suggested this somewhere else in cyberspace. For those of you familiar with Mcados, they serve an incredible sandwich. This incredible delight is called the Hindenburg. This sandwich is intended for four people to enjoy, but most people don't do that. You can split it with someone else or, better yet, you can wolf down the whole thing on your own.
So, I will now ask the question: do you know any food porn? Why not use the talk back feature and describe one of the basics of food pleasure.
