Food. Porn. Two great tastes that taste great together.

Now that I’ve successfully tricked most of you into reading this post, I’ll fill you in on what “food porn” really is. And, no, sadly, it has nothing to do with naked people and food. That’s another fetish altogether.
Food porn is the foodie craze that’s been sweeping the internet, especially in the blogosphere. Simply, it’s extreme close-up shots of delicious and delectable looking edible delights. The forerunner to the fad and the site that drew all the attention is FoodPornDaily. It features a new food picture every day to salivate over — showing every nook and cranny, leaving nothing to the imagination — and has been called, “a great website that satisfies our natural human desire for food porn.” They include recipes for the dishes featured on the site and even allow picture submissions (for those of you amateur food pornographers). It can get pretty competitive.
I’ll admit that I have a problem (is there a twelve step program for something like this?) — I get my fix every day and I’m not ashamed of it. If you’re really curious and think you’re ready for this sort of online smut, be sure to also check out:
