Passion and the Pork Pie

[squirreltual]

Imagine someone attractive. Mentally undress them. Insert following food item into their hand:


Any difference?

Is it fair to make negative judgments about a person's character based on the food they eat? Does a poor diet always go hand in hand with self-worth? When does food snobbery become neuroticism?

looks pretty good

Dang

[ashlesha]

i wouldn't judge anyone for eating that, but i wouldn't want to watch anybody eat it naked. even if they were attractive. i have an aversion to cross pollination of sex and food.

negative judgments about people are made for all sorts of reasons and the reasons are hardly ever "fair." i suppose some of those reasons bother me more than others (race, weight, sexual orientation, etc) but food choices seems pretty benign. benign on the same level as judging someone for the clothes they wear or what kind of music they listen to - silly, perhaps, but meh, people have different tastes and they're going to evaluate people based on their adherence to the same taste. that seems normal. i don't think there's anything particularly egregious about judging people based on their food choices.

Yeah, the pork pie was just an example - I lump it in with "beige food". I'd never been in a relationship with someone who doesn't eat vegetables/whose diet is mostly refined carbohydrates before, so my reaction surprised me. I guess it freaked me the hell out just because it seems so physically unhealthy...

[squirreltual]

I have an EIE friend who told me that he could never be friends or get along with people who drink diet sodas or eat mayonnaise lol

Ha. I had a similar conversation with my EIE friend. He's a food fascist but constantly forgets to eat, so ends up apologising almost every time we speak for "spacing out"

Sexy meat buns!







Unsexy vegan food



Meatless meatloaf, barf looking...



Tofu ricotta... looks like barf...

The meat pie in the OP is kinda of peasant food but it's not that different the say a gentile and refined quiche.



Leeks/ham one here, pair a really good cheese with it and it's very sexy.

Say a Thomas Keller quiche...

It's almost sexual, a great quiche. It's "the seductive pie." And it's hard to say adequately what an important part of cooking it represents to me. It's the essence of luxury, a great delicacy, again using the most common ingredients.

Quote for TRUTH

It is phenomonal by the way, very rich and delicate.

I think in conclusion we can say that Vegans and the British can't cook... at least not for humans..

[squirreltual]

The British don't cook pork pies. They buy them ready-made from supermarkets and eat them cold - fake meat and additives sloshing around their sick bloated guts. And that is exactly my point.

My future soulmate will now have to come to me with pork pie blessings.

Sounds as if you already know who is your soulmate.

[Hot Scalding Gayser]

it depends, when i'm really attracted to somebody and my body chemistry is compatible with theirs, even their snot is kinda hot. and likewise, when you're just not into somebody- they could re-enact the most intense porno scene and you'd just be like "Meh."

[squirreltual]

Oh. Fuck

[golden]

That hideous so-called pie would literally nauseate me and I would be totally turned off, and it would take a while to get over it. Like I might never see the person quite the same way again. Food and naked do not go together in my world. Even food I like.

Now I need a dozen oysters...

The other day I was out to lunch with a friend and it was like:
HIM: "I don't like that...... No I don't like that either.... Ew, no or that..... I'm just picky, I guess."
ME: "I don't like that in a man."
HIM: "Haha. Neither do I."

Really I don't care what a person eats. It's their body. But it does become a practical concern. Like, if you're making vegetable stew for dinner and they won't eat vegetables then it's kinda difficult. My ex was like that and he would throw a fit that there was nothing for him to eat. Very annoying.

Agreed.

Great movie. The hotel room scene is also worth looking up in relation to this thread. It's enlightening about the uses of shrimps, to say the least.

I could use a egg but who to eat it with...
