To begin with

This blog is one of those cases of "I can't find it anymore, so I decided to make my own."

Specifically, I had just discovered a blog whose very concept delighted me-all literary food porn, all the time-but, sadly, the authors appear to be no longer updating. So I'm going the fangirl route and picking up more or less where they left off: to wit, quoted passages of "delicious descriptions of food from literature," with commentary.

As "lashings and lashings of ginger beer" suggests, the authors Over There had a particular pash for classic childrens' lit, particularly British, along with a nice selection of classic and contemporary "straight" literature. I've got a nostalgia tooth myself, and BritKidLit certainly has a lot of the best food writing ("porn" seems icky in this context), so there may be some of that here as well, along with more "adult" fantasy and SF. Eventually, I may branch out toward more general SFF geekery, not necessarily all food-related.

There's another also defunct food-and-fic blog that's more wide-ranging, Readable Watchable Edible Potable. (The author folded it back into his main blog). If anyone comes across any other blog that does This Sort Of Thing, please do let me know.
