I don’t like food, I love sweets. The two emotions are related. When we think about foodies, we rarely talk about sugar. Sugar has a simple and straight taste. Not so wealthy. In fact, it’s not complicated as hell. It is associated with children for good reason: children are stupid, sugar is stupid, my palate is stupid. Favorite food is cake.
On vacation, when my mother made mac and cheese, I got excited about food. It’s the same mac and cheese she’s been making all our lives, from Robert’s career cookbook in the ’70s. A career looks exactly like you might imagine: whips of gray hair, three-piece suits, always black and white. Probably because I didn’t know how to make something without the double cream that doesn’t fit. I think the book has aspic. Of course there is a lot of brandy. Everything looks made to be part of a 10-course meal, with white tablecloths with candles and his upstairs to his upstairs situation. Mac and cheese has tomatoes and bread crumbs and lots of cholesterol. Career fell out of favor in the 80s, probably because everyone who ate his food died instantly from a heart attack.

When I was a kid, all I wanted to eat was dessert. I also did this terrible thing when I was four. I showed it to Chicken in the toilet. I still remember that dry taste in my mouth. I was in my pocket so often that her mother took me to the pediatrician and asked what she should do, the pediatrician said stop giving her chickens.
When people get excited at a restaurant, I’m both happy and confused. I’m not unfazed by all of it. That’s why, after thinking about it, I was surprised to discover that what I love to hear about food is, what I love to see about food, and what I love to read about food. Apparently I hate eating food, but I love hearing about it.

It’s a show that celebrates people’s crazy behavior expressed through food. So their joy is not hindered at all.
My favorite food show is less conspicuous, but similar off menu In that it revolves around celebrity dining. Everyone would have seen at least one episode of him. hot ones Until now. The premise that host Sean Evans asks questions and both he and the interviewee are eating hotter and hotter wings leads to a sort of undressing of the guests. Endurance test: hot ones It shows someone who is calm under pressure (Zoe Saldana) and someone who feels nothing at all (Lord). For example, in stressful situations, Cate Blanchett When she assesses a situation, she’s the kind of person who’s incredibly serious, tricky, and barely moving. bobby lee Literally just shit myself. The whole thing is steered by perhaps the lightest man on the planet, whose gut has probably left its mark after 19 seasons. While Kristen Stewart (“You have a very specific rhythm to your voice.”) This show reminds me of Ashton Kutcher’s ridiculous reality series in the early 2000s. punctured, although it was much meaner. However, the tone of lowering the pants to celebrities has not changed, and only this time we are fully cooperating.
Yes, eating as a means of celebrity behavior unless eating is the main event.chef’s table) or movies (menu) involves serving exquisite artisan cuisine full of texture and flavor. I admit I was somewhat forced. New Yorker, It is notorious for sending print after print, weekly, sometimes multiple times a week. But at some point I realized that I could at least read food critic Hannah Goldfield’s one-page restaurant review of her.About Profiterole in LerocFor example, she wrote: claim diplomat…” I think the reason her words hit me so hard is because to me they are richer than the food itself.

Feelings between words that are not found in the food itself.
Still, at the end of the day, food is never a good way for people to behave, to me. A not-so-great defector burns down A series that doesn’t even watch an episode of the show. As someone who is completely confused over recipes (I once spent an entire day making a multi-layered dip and vowed never to put so much effort into any dish again), Kelsey and Chris found themselves I have such warmth for the doomsday situation that I found myself in every time they tried to make English bullshit with currants. Their confidence is never justified, but still… I like how their weird ovens and ghostly partners suddenly show up and say what we’re all thinking. I don’t want to say it gives me schadenfreude, but a large part of the joy obviously comes from me not wanting to do this and watching two people go through instead of me. increase.
All of this reminds me of that quote that bothers me Kate Moss 2009 onwards: “There’s nothing tastier than a skinny feel.” It doesn’t really come from her.A year before she evoked that her anorexia pseudo-poem, writer Elizabeth Berg published a similar phrase (with a terrible title Eat What You Want: Other Small Acts of Liberation – It’s really depressing to think of Moss reading this book) Specifically undo. “There is nothing tastier than being thin,” some male characters tell some female characters. “No,” she replies. “I know,” he replies. Because we all know the real truth is this. There is nothing more delicious than hearing about it.
