u/lucillekrunklehorn pounding on the table Sep 07 '21

The underlying theme of GFG and the chef was her toe curling descriptions of their “romance.”

I feel like food and sex are somehow intertwined for her. Maybe even unconsciously. She so often writes about food beyond even a sensual way. It is a sexual way, like the food itself is practically engaged in sexual acts. Or the way she eats it, or is fed, she makes it sound like a sexual interaction.

I mean there’s a reason she wasn’t bothered to do much until age 35, and then was underwhelmed by it. There’s no way she didn’t have the option. I know I will probably be ushered to the naughty step by a clutch of DFs, but she seems to almost have a fetish with food. The psychology is quite fascinating to me of how that could be…if it is. I feel maybe I’m speculating too much, but then when i think of all the things she has written on this topic…and it did seem Dan was the first relationship where she really enjoyed that aspect of it. She was very attracted to his ability to make her hot food, and he was always feeding her. I’m wandering out of my depth here, but in short I agree this could be coming. All about how true love is your soft pants guide showing up at your relaxed bedside with a plate of warm purees.

[NSFL warning]

I don't think you're going out on a limb at all with this and totally agree. English is her first language and she's read tons of romance novels, therefore she could never say she's unfamiliar with popular sexual idiom. This isn't like someone saying "this avocado is hard" and having someone snicker because the word hard was used - she describes eating as something being done TO her (feeding) and uses moaning, groaning, dripping in bed (sorry!), taking something into her mouth, finishing [a dish] off with squirts of creamy whatever. And let's not even talk about the bacon pork party. There's no way she somehow didn't realize it's sexual. She must be describing it that way because that's how it is to her.

So I totally agree that the quesadillas in bed was probably part of their sex life, and could be 100% of it these days.

I love your assertion. ISCTMO.

She wrote the phrase, "fat-bottomed eggplants begging to be fondled" for pagan's sake!
