Hump Day: Hot Food
Before Jennifer Beals was Bette, the elegant, assertive philanderer we've grown to know and love on The L Word, she played an angsty young welder/dancer in 1983's epic drama, Flashdance. By day, the sweaty seductress strapped on a headlamp whilst toiling in work boots. By night, the glitzy nymph dumped buckets of water on her writhing body at a Pittsburgh club for loot.
One evening she catches the attention of Nick Hurley, her older, curly-haired boss, who ends up taking her to dinner at some fancy lobster joint. Aside from the fact that she showed up in a bow tie and sleeveless tuxedo shirt (looking more like a male Chippendale than the fox that she is), she emanates sex for the duration of the meal. How does she do this? By sucking on tiny mounds of lobster meat while making banal conversaion with her tongue-tied employer. Make no bones about it: it was hot. You could tell that when they got back home, they totally did it, and it was awesome (mostly because of the lobster). Lobster is one of many foods that's acceptable to be seen eating in the presence of someone you hope to seduce.
Other foods, however, are to be avoided at all costs.
There's this scene in Fast Times at Ridgemont High where Ron Johnson, a hunky stereo salesman (way out of high school) hits on high school freshman Stacy Hamilton (Jennifer Jason Leigh) at her place of work, a pizza restaurant in the mall food court. Dapper Ron also works in the mall and immediately takes a liking to the doughy-cheeked waitress. After slinging his arm across the back of the booth to seem casual, he orders the following thing from dorky blouse-clad Stacy: "I'll take a meatball sandwich, a medium coke [slight pause]... and your phone number."
Okay. No. Not hot. Not hot for the following reasons: a) It's cheesy; b) She's underage (He doesn't know that, but whatever); and c) He ordered a meatball sandwich. A MEATBALL SANDWICH. He expected to eat balls of mall-grade meat encased in a sauce-drenched roll in plain view of his newfound crush, and still hoped to have sex with her.
Lucky for Ron Johnson, Stacy's a freshman

I remember this blog. :) Nice to see a Katie L. blog here.
The only thing I can say about food is that it always tastes better when someone you love cooks it for you. I recommend watching a sweet Indian lesbian flick called "Nina's Heavenly Delights."

Coolio!!!

Hot Dates
I know what's not hot. Taking a femme out to dinner and having her order a salad with Lite dressing and watching her tinker around the edges of the plate and then pass on dessert.
On the other hand, watching a woman chow down on a plate of ribs and not caring if she's up to her elbows in BBQ sauce is hot, hot, hot.
There are wicked hot vegans (and Kelly and LBDL are going to hand me my ass on this one) I've just never seen one thrown down in a completely uninhibitited - I am enjoying the fuck out of this meal - way.

I have a recipe for spaghetti
I have a recipe for spaghetti ala chitarra that is so incredibly delicious it's like an orgasm on your plate. Julia's tried it, she can tell you. Everyone who's ever had it begs me for the recipe. So, while eating spaghetti is generally not sexy, watching the right someone eat this and the bliss on their face- sexy.
So, who wants to volunteer to be the right woman?
not hot: trendy urban-dweller
not hot:
trendy urban-dweller food
hot:
food passed down by family
Can you expand upon "trendy
Can you expand upon "trendy urban-dweller food"? Inquiring palates would like to know.
Sure. Generally it's food
Sure. Generally it's food from a foreign country that takes on the dimension of a fad. Price is also a key feature, perhaps the main signifier. It's essential that it be overpriced, and known to be overpriced by everyone. Tasting bad also helps.
Gotcha
I go in more for the tried but true, hole-in-the-wall, neighborhood Thai, Indian and Ethiopian joints. Both Indian and Ethiopean food are hot because, a lot of it, you get to eat with your hands.
Also, I think having someone you have the hots for make you a really delicious home-cooked meal is pretty frakking sexy. But that could just be the Cancer mentality in me.
Put the pot on, Babe.
When someone cooks for me, especially if it is something she wouldn't necessarily usually do, is the best assurance of that all night long, languorous sex that starts out intense and passionate and after a nap turns into a slow dance of wetness from which you never want to wake.
Baklava is too sexy!
Katie, gotta disagree w/your GF on the baklava. I think the name is totally sexy (anything with 'lava' in it is HOT for chrissakes), plus all that gooey honey running everywhere that needs to be licked off the fingers, mouth, etc....need I say more?
Oh happy day!!!
How happy I am to see a Liederman blog here.
Sexy food? I'm not sure if it's food that is sexy or if it's all about the way in which a person eats said food...
My toes start to twinkle when certain food hits my tongue; Bacalhau, Shrimp, sun-blushed tomatoes, the list goes on. I label these foods as sexy for the way they make me feel, so I doubt anyone watching would think so.
Yet last year I dated a woman who made eating celery look sexy... celery. Is it even proper food??
" Teachers teach and do the world good, Kings just rule and most are never understood "
Is celery sexy?
Sporting Spring green, it s an invitation to explore new territory.
A crisp snap, like branches breaking beneath as you make love in the forest.
Veins taut like her arms leveraging against your chest.
Is Celery sexy?
Hell yes!
Wow
I'll never look at a stalk of celery the same again!
And
its fat free.
Fudge.....
A nice creamy chocolate fudge.....the kind that sticks on your fingers.....and other body parts!!!!

Meet me on Sunday.
It depends on the consumer
I make a great Caramel Machiado: lots of smooth glistening foam, caramel drizzled like lace, dripping down the side just enought to insinuate spontanaiety.
When I drink it, I'm a thick woman enjoying a great cup of coffee. When my friend drinks it, she is all lanky cattiness, langorously lapping up a potion that I have concocted just to see her tongue linger on the rim of a hand crafted cup. To see it stretch for that dab of foam so cunningly left on her lips. To see...
Excuse me. I think I need a cup of coffee.
I find that anything that
I find that anything that requires me to lick my fingers in front of my girlfriend is good eats when she's around.
KFC?
Finger Licking Good!

baklava! (see my comment above)
Yeah, I have to say I think
Yeah, I have to say I think baklava is sexy, too.
Sorry
Companies that torture animals? So not sexy.

C'mon
C'mon VPMers! There has got to be some more thoughts on sexy food than tamales and eclairs (thank you, Tex). Or are your hands too full of something delicious to type...
Still searching for the right brainy quote.
I remember!
Eclairs.....the eating of and the kisses......with a slight touch of the tongue to remove the excess.....mmmmm!
Twitter Time @kdhales
I <3 excess.
I <3 excess.
Tamales
Why, gracias for asking, Katie. The tamale is so sexy. Just think of how you can unwrap its tantilizing warm goodness. Mmmmm. I am so happy to have a Liederman blog!!
