Being an avid collector of online recipes (several thousand in PDF) as well as subscribing to dozens and dozens of recipe websites in my reader, I have seen the term "Food Porn" tossed around quite a bit. It's always puzzled me to an extent; I know the ones using the term mean something as self-indulgent and addictive as porn, but it never made much sense to me. After all, I learned as a young man you simply cannot be hungry and horny at the same time. You can be one or the other, but never, ever both...that's just a fact of life.
(that's also why the fetish of combining food and sex, i.e. fruit or whipped cream semi-disgusts me...it's just not my bag, man. Let me at the sexy woman...or the strawberry cheesecake, but one at a time!)
Then, after seeing this video about Salisbury Steak, it dawned on me why the term "Food Porn" is used on recipe presentations; it's the music!
