I've been chowing down lots of food-related prose recently. Reviewing gadgets is all well and good, but I generally have to return the goodies to their makers when the review is over, which means I never get to eat them. Food reviewers must live happier lives, perhaps even more so when they're noshing on Treos and PSPs.
So my friend Sean pointed me to this one graf on a guy's blog which may just be the awesomest flavor description snippet of all time — despite the fact that it's not a food review but a personal account of an appendectomy. Bad News Hughes, a blogger fond of generous pottymouthery, has just had his appendix out. He wakes up:
As dawn broke it was once again time to have more fluids dripped into me, while other were sucked out. I woke up with a hard-on, which was a good sign. Not that I was expecting them to chop off my dick, but, you know… Accidents happen… They gave me some sugar-free raspberry Jell-O, and let me tell you – your ass goes a solid 24 without food and that goddamn sugar-free raspberry Jell-O is like having Osama Bin Flavor crash a plane full of celebration into your mouth.
