What's the Deal?

This, ladies and gentlemen, is the bodice-ripper of broilers, the dirty mag of dirty martinis, the sexting of ceviche, the porn of the porterhouse, the odes of hors d'oeuvres, a little black book for all of your foodie-calls, the back-page listings for all of your gastro-kink.

The Lovin' Mouthful is a blog documenting the affairs we have with food - trysts with trattorias, flings with food trucks, dalliances with drinks, passions with produce, romps with restaurants - and nothing beats a racy one-nighter except divulging the juicy details about it to your friends afterwards.  

Be it an affair of the heart, of the mind, or just plain old physical attraction, food is SEXY, and we all want a mouthful of that.  We're talking about food that defies the boundaries of where sex can take place and how.  There's some sin, there's some higher-plane love, lots of mastication, fluids, innuendo, croque-teases, forking, spooning, licking and savoring things down to the very last drop.  Whenever our palates get spanked, we'll let you know.

We're starting off with these three categories:

1. Sex on my plate.  Any food or drink that comes to you in a form so lovely that you can't decide whether to tear its clothes off and ravish it or to just look adoringly at it.

2. Sex in my mouth.  Any food or drink that you can put in your mouth that turns you on, feels like great sex, is better than sex, or gives you a foodgasm.  If it gives you a real orgasm we would, of course, like to hear about it and then get directions to the restaurant.

3. Sex on the table.  Any food or drink that goes above and beyond the call of good food and inspires you to have sex right there on the table.

Everything else is categorized by cuisine, main ingredient, location and occasion.

 

A few ground rules - no real porn, no links to real porn, no photos that don't belong to you.  Give credit where credit is due - link to what you need to, attribute photos to their owners and tell us where the restaurants/bars are.  We're talking about food that's like sex, not actual sex (or at least not mentioning names if we do).  As long as it is a food, food-stuff, beverage or place to purchase said things, it's fine to discuss.  This is a forum to describe bone-in cuts of meat, or boning a fish, and not the other kind you might be doing.  That said, metaphor and euphemism are quite elastic concepts, so no one here's going to be shy.
