The foodgasm as experienced by my bff's fiancé
Foodgasm (n) : The satisfying sensation upon eating a particularly tasty morsel of food, resulting in orgasm like reactions i.e. eyes rolling back in head, moans of pleasure, and weakness of the knees.
Have you ever eaten something so delicious, so perfect, so right, that you take an almost sensual pleasure from it? If not, I feel for you. If so, then congratulations my friend: you have experienced a foodgasm.
I’m not the first person on t’internet to discover foodgasms. A quick spot of Google-fu finds Tumblr sites, blogs, and a demotivational poster dedicated to the term. There’s also a web-based cookery show named after it (be warned; clicking on some of these links may result in a food-boner).
As a fairly snap happy individual (my camera lives in my handbag) I’ve been lucky enough to capture a foodgasm in progress.

Urban Dictionary points out that foodgasms are more likely to be enjoyed by foodies and people who are stoned. I’ll let you make up your mind about my dear friend and which camp he falls into. (For anyone wondering, he was eating a bit of burger at The Smokestack in Edinburgh).
