The Food Porn Meme

For those of you that don't know Rosie, she is a writer of Southern Gothic fiction and erstwhile keeper of goats. I'm laying the blame for the following nonsense squarely at her feet! Food Porn she has requested, and food porn she shall get.

1. What food do you consider the best “date” food? In other words, what meal or food item do you think is sexiest to eat in the company of someone you would like to look sexy around?

I always think the best date food is morsels you eat with your fingers, and anything you can share. So a picnic of good wine, cheese, ham and grapes will always work. You have to remember a blanket to snuggle on. And stay out late enough to watch for shooting stars.

But if you mean sexy-glamorous, a picnic just won't do. You can't do high-heels and short skirts on a blanket on the grass. And there's no restroom near by to fix your makeup! If you're planning on taking me out on that sort of dinner, it had better be sushi, somewhere up-market with low tables and an exotic selection. But I don't know - sex should be messy and adventurous, so maybe teppanyaki would be a better start to the night. And there's a new Teppanyaki place around the corner (Ryan are you taking note?).

2. What well-known person would you like to share a meal with—with or without clothing. (saying whether or not clothes are involved is optional).

Do I have to just pick one? For the scenery, there's some great AFL players this season. But it's preseason, so they are all on diets, and not drinking.

For the conversation and the food, I think I'd pick Rosie - I'd love to eat at some meals and stories at one of her local haunts. (I think we'd best keep our clothes on, so I don't end up in a story like Porn and Donuts!!)

And finally, I do have a soft spot for Lindsay McDougall. If nothing else, I'd love to find out what vegan rock-stars eat on a romantic date : )

3. What does your perfect breakfast-in-bed look like? (Food AND the details, please. Candles? Music? Flowers? Hot tub? Dancing girls?

Mangos and stawberries and champagne. In the bath (a deep one with feet). With lots and lots of bubbles and fluffy towels and good coffee for when we get out of the tub. And no where to be until dinner. Oh boy, I wish we still lived in a house with a bath...

4. What do you consider the best application of whipped cream to be?

Chocolate dessert cakes. Sorry Rosie, nothing comes close.

5. Oh-God-No, Biff, the yacht is sinking! You are sent to the galley to retrieve the food. What luxury food items do you snatch first? The champagne? The caviar? Smoked Salmon? Truffles? Chocolate? Or something else?

Blue cheese! Brie! All the cheese! I'd make a terrible vegan. (Sorry, Lindsay)

So there you have it folks. More than you ever wished to know about me and food. Now the fun begins. I'm supposed to dob in 5 more bloggers to share the love. All you need to do is answer the questions, link to Rosie's original post, and link to the evil person that dobbed you in. Here we go:

1. Lucy, at Nourish Me. I just found her blog and I love it.

2. Red Dirt Mummy.

3. Beck at Frog and Toad are Still Friends.

4. Anna at Morsels and Musings.

5. Silvermoon Dragon at Dragon Musings.

Gosh, that Lindsay McDougall is rather good looking...I'd be quite happy to share a little something with him...

Loved it - you know, this is more fun than most meme's, so I'll pop it away and have a think about it.

Cheese. I'd make a terrible vegan, too. Each time I think about going that way it's cheese that drags me back. Yum.

Oooh, thanks for dobbing me in for this one. I'm way too tired after my work trip to do it justice tonight but will have a think about it and get to it over the weekend.

Beck said...

Ah! Fun meme! It's probably too sexy for my painfully g-rated blog, but I'll see what I can do.

Thanks for doing this! Hey--whipped cream on chokkit cake is a perfectly acceptable application. Me--I'm more the creme brulee and whipped cream kinda gal.

Hugs!
