Sensually photographed turkeys, steaks, shrimp and desserts, all waiting for you. Warning: Hot food porn after the jump.









Look at that thick, juicy meat. Straining with hot fluids. Once you get it in your mouth, you know it's going to burst, letting warm red liquid stream down your throat.


Some like to see the pink inside, do you?


Or are you one of those bad, naughty types, who likes it raw?


Maybe you like it freaky? Brown on pink. Two on two… or more?


Get a good look at this pink, wet, glistening flesh. You know you want it.


Insert your fingers into the folds. You'll find it tender and dripping.


Who can resist a heaving, moistened breast?


Go ahead, lick the gooey sweetness. It's yearning to be inside you.



Warm fluid oozes out, just for you.


You'll get your just desserts. Just put your tongue in the crease.

<![CDATA[ Halloween In 2-D Looks Frighteningly Delicious ]]> The Dean & Deluca Halloween catalog has some fun, tasty-looking ways to celebrate All Hallows Eve. Affordable? Not really. But if you like chocolate, cakes and food porn in general, you're in luck. Mouth-watering sweets, after the jump!















Okay, all you closet goths: Black dishes! Gorgeous, no? Try not to think about the fact that the champagne flutes are $180 for a set of two. Think how awesome they'd look on a crisp white tablecloth with some deep purple grapes and My Bloody Valentine playing in the background.

Holy sweet tooth, it's a Bat Cake! That is not paper, that is purple and black tinted white chocolate. Decadent. Which is why it's $160.

The Ghost Cake is cute, but let's focus on those Halloween Pops: "Big chunks of ooey gooey handmade chocolate chip fudge with marshmallows get the 'stick treatment' before being dipped in Belgian chocolate and decorated by hand." Uh, what's that the kids say on the interwebs? WANT. $44 for a set of 4.

The Trick Or Treat bag is okay, but the cookies shaped like kids in costumes are awesome. I want to bite that little devil's head off. Fourteen cookies, $65.

Yum, that $120 Pumpkin Cake is "six layers of vanilla spiced cake with praline butter cream and a center layer of rich chocolate fudge." And that thing that looks like a crate of apples? It's an Apple Crate Cake. No, really. It's a chocolate cake with marzipan apples on top. It's also $200. Meanwhile, I am seriously considering ordering six cookies and eight brownies right now: $40.

Whoa. A large feast is $520. You get a turkey, porcini stuffing with gravy, brussels sprouts au gratin, bourbon sweet potatoes with almonds and cranberry sauce with cardamom. Plus cream cheese biscuits. I just want to dip my finger in those sweet potatoes, how much would that cost?

These "cranky" jack o' lantern chocolates are so damn cute. $36 for 16.

Here's Halloween for grownups: White chocolate pumpkin with ganache-filled figs and a bottle of red wine. Costume optional.

<![CDATA[ Eat Me ]]> baconbra040308.jpgDo you like bacon? Do you like bras? You're gonna love the bacon bra. No idea why it exists, but, as one commenter notes, "So not kosher." Waffle panties and syrup slip to come? [WOW]

<![CDATA[ Harry, David, Dean & Deluca: Chocolate Pagan Easter Symbols And $6,000 Caviar ]]> So: There was an ancient pagan goddess of spring named Eostre who was celebrated during the Vernal (spring) equinox. Hares (and rabbits) were symbols of the fertility of the season; the saying "mad as a March hare" came from the fact that the critters had so much sex during that time of the year. Eggs were also ancient symbols of fertility because, duh, life hatches from them. And back in the day, people would see hares hopping around in meadows and find nests of plover eggs, then mistakenly think that the fuzzy bunnies were laying them. Then arrival of Christianity confused everything and now some people celebrate Jesus with chocolate egg-laying bunnies. Insane? Sure! But there's candy involved, so it's okay. Easter foodstuffs from Harry & David as well as Dean & Deluca, after the jump.



harryanddavidcover030308.jpgThe cover of the Harry & David catalog claims, "The Easter Bunny shops here," but we have it on good authority that his credit cards get declined.

harryanddavidpage4030308.jpgWow, a nine-inch solid chocolate bunny. The perfect thing to give to kids right before they're going to have to sit through a sermon at church! Or is it the reward for enduring the service?

harryanddavidpage5030308.jpgSome people probably find it really cute that the rabbit's head comes off and there's candy inside his skull and body; I find it terrifying and creepy.

harryanddavidpage7030308.jpgIsn't cabbage the pagan symbol for vagina? That's where Cabbage Patch Kids come from, right? Also: Egg candles? Really? Can't you envision a scenario in which kids are like, "Why are you burning my Easter Eggs?" And crying? Loudly?

harryanddavidpicketfence030.jpgFlowers+chocolate=Good idea. But if someone ever gave me flowers in a picket fence, I'd be vaguely insulted. There's something repressive, apron-stringy and June Cleaver-ish about it. Not in a good way.

harryanddavidcheesecake0303.jpgOoh, cheesecake sampler! Wouldn't you rather have this than the nine-inch chocolate bunny? When do we celebrate the goddess of cheesecake?

harrydavidcookies030308.jpgGiant Cookie Basket from the Better Cookie Bureau, you have my vote in this year's election for Most Delicious Concept.

harryanddavidbackpage030308.jpgIt's hilarious that the Easter Morning basket comes with a cookie shaped and iced to look like a carrot. Fake healthy! Oh, but look: In addition to a load of candy, you also get a couple of pears and an apple. Life is about balance.

deananddelucacover030308.jpgThe chicks are super cute, but just for styling purposes: No price listed!

deandelucapotpie030308.jpgYou can, however, get a chicken pot pie. Yum.

deananddelucahoptoit030308.jpgThose marzipan critters masquerading with bunny ears should be funny, but they're just not. The chocolate quail eggs are sort of puke-inducingly realistic, as though you can smell the yolk and salmonella through the page.

deananddelucacandyexplosion.jpgSugar is a building block of nutrition, right?

deananddelucacaviar030308.jpgYou know, of all the things you can have FedExed to your home, a pound of fish eggs ringing up at $5,900 is really baller-type shit.

deananddelucadevilfood03030.jpgFor the love of God. If lusting after that Devil's Food cake is a sin, who among us is not guilty?

deananddelucabackpage030308.jpgPagan symbols aside: Why is that chocolate rabbit driving a car?

<![CDATA[ Good news and bad news! Sales of boxed macaroni ... ]]> macncheese020508.jpgGood news and bad news! Sales of boxed macaroni and cheese are up, reports UPI. Good news because, yum, mac and cheese is delicious comfort food, whether it is authentic or from a box. The bad news? This may be a clear indication that this country is headed toward financial ruin and we're trying to soothe our souls with pasty carbs. Kraft introduced mac and cheese in 1937 — the era known as The Great Depression. Related: So. Hungry. Right. Now. [UPI]

<![CDATA[ Comfort Food: Great For Stress, Except When It's Not ]]> oreo013008.jpgYum, here's a "no shit" study that hits the spot: Researchers have discovered that junk food lowers stress levels! Go get a cookie, we'll wait. So, yeah. University of New South Wales pharmacology professor Margaret Morris took lab rats away from their mothers as babies and divided them into groups. One group was on a "lard-laden junk food diet", including cakes, chips and pies. The other was on a low fat diet. Then all the rats went through different behavioral tests, like being exposed to really bright light. Apparently the fat rats weren't fazed by the glare, like, "Dude. It's kinda like, bright in here? Burp." And the thin rats were mega-tense; all, "OMG WTF! What is that?!??!" Anyway, there could be something for humans to learn from this about stress and appetite and why you eat high-calorie food when you're freaking out. Great, right? Except not so much if you're in jail.



Scientists from Oxford University say that an increase in junk food over the past 50 years has led not to a stress-free existence but a rise in violence among inmates. A pilot study randomly distributed vitamin supplements to prisoners in England and Scotland — along with a placebo. There were a third fewer violent incidents among those given the supplements. Vitamins, shmitamins! I will cut a fool for some chocolate right about now. Maybe the problem is that they need to feed inmates more? How violent can you be if you're full of cake?

<![CDATA[ Who's <i>Really</i> The Sexiest Man Alive? ]]> We posted about Matt Damon being named People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive," an honor he didn't even want. And most of you were like, yeah, Matt Damon, he's alright, but when I think sexy, I think of... And the names poured in. Benicio Del Toro! Christian Bale! Adrien Brody! Eric Bana! Oh, and by the way, we totally love James Purefoy, Alan Rickman, Milo Ventimiglia, Peter Saarsgaard, Kevin McKidd, Bill Nighy, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, [Liev Schreiber -Ed.] Jonathan Pryce, Ewan McGregor, James Duval, Willem Dafoe, [David Strathairn. -Ed.] Joel McHale, Patrick Dempsey, Eric Balfour, Sean Connery, Adam Goldberg, Mark Ruffalo, and mmm, Takeshi Kaneshiro, but they're not on this poll. Maybe next time! Meanwhile, there are 22 SEXY and sweet pieces of man candy to choose from... and you only have one vote! Think carefully, hold your applause until the end, have fun!
