Review # 1 was written on 2008-12-11 00:00:00 BILL ROBERTS I'm a foodie, a writer and actually author books about sexuality, so this book seemed like it was built for me based on title alone. Unfortunately, I had a hard time getting past the halfway point. The challenge I had is the author's light touch. There wasn't much in it beyond physical metaphors (the banana and the avocado, etc.) and the actual insights, such as the origins of the term "a bun in the oven", are just mentioned, not explored. It felt like a 1,000-word food magazine essay stretched into 350 pages. The book is far from awful, but I had very high hopes for the subject and am disappointed that it still hasn't been handled with care.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-01-05 00:00:00 David Votaw Some good observations about our cultural/social attitudes towards food(s). Mostly regurgitated information with a stale flavor. Ultimately, this concept is too ambitious for the caliber of this author's writing.
