THE ELUSIVE FOODGASM!!!!!!

I did not learn what a “foodgasm” was until I went to culinary school. After which I was sure that that I had experienced several throughout my life but that I simply did not know it. The first “foodgasm” that I remember having was when I was in culinary school. It came from what I believe to be a very unlikely source. I have never been a fan of Bloody Marys, but when one of my chef instructors made a Bloody Mary Consume, I was overcome by my first “foodgasm.”

 A "foodgasm" is a very intense sensation one gets when they eat something so amazing that they experience ecstasy. Most people have actually had a "foodgasm" and simply failed to comprehend the experience. It begins when the food hits the table. You are overcome by the complexity of the aromas that surround you and your mouth begins to water. While the appearance of the food adds to the overall experience, it does not influence it. As you take your first bite, your taste buds explode. The hair on the back of your neck stands up. You begin to breath a little harder. Every time you chew the flavor become more intense. Before you know it you have a feeling of complete satisfaction. The sensation is so intense that you actually feel mental, emotional and even physical satisfaction.

That is what a "foodgasm" is!
