商品描述

We take the edible trappings of flirtation for granted: chocolate covered strawberries and romance, oysters on the half shell and desire, the eggplant emoji and a suggestive wink. But why does it feel so natural for us to link food and sexual pleasure? Rachel Hope Cleves explores the long association between indulging in good food and an appetite for naughty sex, from the development of the Parisian restaurant as a place for men to meet with prostitutes and mistresses, to the role of sexual outlaws like bohemians, new women, lesbians and gay men in creating epicurean culture in Britain and the United States. Taking readers on a gastronomic journey from Paris and London to New York, Chicago and San Francisco, Lustful Appetites reveals how this preoccupation changed the ways we eat and the ways we are intimate―while also creating stigmas that persist well into our own twenty-first century.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

我們對於調情的可食用象徵視而不見:巧克力覆蓋的草莓與浪漫、半殼生蠔與渴望、茄子表情符號與暗示的眨眼。但為什麼將食物與性快感聯繫在一起對我們來說如此自然呢?Rachel Hope Cleves 探討了享受美食與對於不雅性慾之間的長期聯繫,從巴黎餐廳作為男性與妓女和情婦會面的場所的發展,到性叛逆者如波希米亞人、新女性、女同性戀者和男同性戀者在英國和美國創造美食文化中的角色。《Lustful Appetites》帶領讀者展開一場從巴黎和倫敦到紐約、芝加哥和舊金山的美食之旅,揭示了這種迷戀如何改變了我們的飲食方式和親密關係,同時也創造了持續到我們二十一世紀的污名。
