Food Porn

On a FoodTV program today, I watched a celeb chef make a dish that defies the imagination in both richness and extreme fat and calories. He split a large, buttery croissant, dipped it in an egg-and-cream batter, and fried it French-toast style in butter. It was then filled with a heap of warm carmelized, sugared cinnamon apples and topped generously with powdered sugar.

The chef and chef's admirer licked their fingers while cooing over their divine creation. The camera lovingly captured the dripping confection from several angles through a gauze lens usually reserved for aging film stars. After watching this culinary orgy, I understood the meaning of the phrase "food porn."
