Tones and I - Dance Monkey

well, isn't this just ducky! I'm supposed to be doing a post (and late again - someone smack me with a wet noodle!)...and my mind is everywhere. As usual.

Okay, so this is normal for me LOL.

While cooking tea, I wondered about our food. I wondered what kind of food would be OUT THERE. You know, in our fantasy worlds. I know I for one tend to have them eating the usual food. Meat, fruit, veges. Nothing exotic. No Bhartifnan fruit or Khannfoaerr vegetable, or even a Hiethalkletfoe which isn't any of these. And don't aks me what they are because I don't know - I just made them up right now . But most fantasy/sci-fi/futuristic/paranormal romances have the basic food groups. And drinks. Water, ale, wine. I even have una, a futuristic verison of a good hot cup of coffee. So instead of saying 'want a cuppa coffee?' mine is 'want a cuppa una?'

So what makes us stick to the basic foods for our universes? Is it because we'd have to spend too much time giving details on this new food group we've introduced? Who knows. I mean, think about it, maybe the food OUT THERE is really gross. Bitter. Yucky. Or maybe it's the yummiest stuff in the galaxy!

Maybe it comes in TUBES! *gag* That's a horrible thought - unless it's the sweetened condensed milk, cause I could go for that! mmmmmmmmmmm Love the taste!!!

Unless I'm mistaken, there hasn't been mention of food tubes or food tablets in place of food in most of the romances that are based OUT THERE. You know why? 'Cause I think, if you're like me, you enjoy a darned good meal, and face it, where would we be without the hero getting all hot and excited over the heroine licking peach juice off her lips? Or the heroine tasting like strawberries when he kisses her?

'Cause food can be sexy! It satisfies us on several levels - full tummy, yummy taste, and sexually tantalizing our heroes .

LOL
