I believe the term for this is genuinely - "Food Porn".

Oh yeah ! Bring it on ! My best food porn photo is from the windows of a patisserie in New York called Tisserie. Oodles of fab looking cakes in the window and in the shop. Yes we did go in and have one.

The monthly food magazine in my husband's Sunday Oberver was my monthly food porn which I used to look forward to. Oh I miss those days. Just a quick glance in Baker's delight whenever I'm near an outlet in Auckland is my food porn fix these days. Oh the bakery cabinet at PakNSave is kinda any port in a storm for, 'just looking, honest'.

We do have them in some parts, the Dalmatians were avid dry stone wall builders and around Whangarei and the Tutukaka coast area there are miles and miles of them.

Re: Oh I really miss !!!!!!

Warm houses, british humour (or just humour!!!),decent architecture, good pubs, things to do, cheaper food, friends, football, i could go on and on and on. I have to go back and least every year to get my fix. I will move back one day, NZ ok for a bit but the pulling of the heart strings never goes away!
