Haha, me too, OP. I'm not really mad or anything, but I'm always curious about the details.

[cushlamochree]

I agree OP. Everyone start writing richly-detailed meal logs, tia.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh I'm with you, OP. Detailed descriptions of food is like sex to me. And the weird thing - I especially love descriptions of meat. The smell, how it's prepared, spiced, served. omg. I get so into it.

Then I realize I'm vegetarian and actually don't like meat in real life. Something about language, man. Meat is always described in such a sexy way.

[intrigueing]

I...I feel like I could have written this comment in my sleep. Are you a time-traveling me from the future, anon?

[(Anonymous)]

It can really add to the story in small, but significant ways.

[a_potato]

I'm the exact opposite: I've come to dislike descriptions of food. And of clothes. And of horses...



I guess I've read one too many overwrought fantasy novels.

[alwaysbeenasmiler]

I'm not too fond of the description of horses-- because I have never ever been what they term horse-mad.

[a_potato]

I'm not particular horse-mad, myself (they kind of scare me, actually), but I used to find it kind of interesting. Now, I'm just like, "oh Jesus fuck, no one cares about the shining pelt and respectable lineage of your dun gelding. Just mount the damn thing."

[alwaysbeenasmiler]

I used to have a friend that was pretty horse-mad, she went to all of the conventions and she lived by the Kentucky Derby. I just got kinda bored because that was all that she could talk about.

It's like going to a restaurant and getting the EXACT same thing every single time. You just get sick of it (though I can see how people would want to talk about horses all the time, just they need to have some considerations for the people who don't.)

[alwaysbeenasmiler]

THIS!

I agree-- I love discriptions of food. quail eggs, tofu miso soup. I love descriptions of food, I guess when a book makes my stomach growl, that is what makes it for me because then I really am living in the book (well as much as I can without actually eating the food)

[morieris]

May I suggest you read a Redwall novel. Probably the titular one, it's rife with Early Installment Weirdness though.

[(Anonymous)]

I always felt like Redwall went overboard on the food descriptions. Like there were pages and pages describing Redwall feasts. Too much of a good thing, imo.

[(Anonymous)]

Might be a generational thing, literally.I remember some authors saying they wrote like that because of food rationing during the war. I'm just not sure if Jacques was one of them.

[(Anonymous)]

Jack Vance is also great for food porn--even when it's horrible food. And since George R. R. Martin is an admirer of Vance (to the point of naming several characters in ASOIAF after Vance and his books), I suspect that's where Martin's penchant for richly described meals comes from.

[(Anonymous)]

If it helps at all, I can tell you that tonight I ate three cheese stuffed tortellini with a creamy pesto sauce and broccoli.

[(Anonymous)]

Same. I blame too much Redwall during my earlier reading years.

[(Anonymous)]

Sadly, my stories are short on food pr0n simply because I don't have that talent.

I love reading lovingly detailed meals, but trying to write them? Let's just say, I know my limits. XD

[queerwolf]

I'm the opposite because it always makes me want the food and I can't have it due to money/time of day/etc.

[kallanda_lee]

George R. R. Martin, get off fandom secrets and go back to writing your next book.

[thistlechaser]

I used to hate when people would comment "I wish for a thumbs up option" or something like that. But, the more and more time I spend on Reddit, the more I'm understanding it. Your comment made me snort out loud, but there's not much I could say in response to it, so being able to thumbs up it would work.

[(Anonymous)]

Same here, OP.

[(Anonymous)]

You'd love the Song of Ice and Fire books!
