The New Pornography
November 5th 2006 16:21
I guess this says a lot about my eating and tv watching habits but there is something perversely surreal about eating dinner in front of the telly while watching cooking shows.
I'm not sure what it is about cooking shows but you can understand why they are all the rage. They offer brain numbing entertainment that appeal to more than your visual and aural senses; a bit like pornography.
And just like the trustworthy porno, these cooking shows are full of inspirational ideas to try out in the privacy of your own home. As I found out today for example, a simple piece of toast can become gourmet food by simply rubbing it with a peeled clove of garlic before placing it in the toaster...or was that the porno?
But while cooking shows and cookbooks are all the rage at the moment, unlike pornography they haven't had the same impact on the internet. A misspelled google search won't throw up an array of unwanted food sites nor are you likely to find spam in your inbox asking if you're free tonight for a bbq.
Perhaps all it needs is for the 2 topics to be combined. I can see it now...Mothers Who Love To Cook!
