Quote:
...............Just as sexual liberation would be meaningless without sexual shame, so films like Chocolat wouldn't make any sense without the deep sense of ambivalence about the way we eat that's dramatized by these movies. Images of Babette's perfectly browned birds or Vianne's pots of melted chocolate wouldn't be so resonant if such foods weren't forbidden or fraught with guilt.
Food porn, like the regular kind, may reveal a culture's lusts, but it's also a key to its repressions..........
Did you ever eat (food!!) during sex???
