Abstract

Food that promises a different kind of fulfilment, that exists in order to open up new dimensions of tasting and ingesting tends to exhibit a particular playfulness, for example by being colorful, layered, sweetened, and so on, and a particular form of secrecy, by not being clear about what is hidden inside. Such food may have other effects than just nourishing and satisfying, such as working as an aphrodisiac, an erotic pleasure, something that creates appetite rather than being plainly satisfying. Ingestion of such food would transform body and mind into being more desirable and more pleasurable. This is by no means to be underestimated – food that has the potential to really transform the ingesting person is magic and therefore needs particular care and attention.
