And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I just got to the "Food Spirits" page and I'm laughing so hard I almost can't breathe:
During fasts - when I don't eat but only drink water or other liquids for a day or longer - I started to feel specific types of foods. These foods came to my mind. I noticed that they were foods that I had not eaten for years, and thus usually foods that aren't produced anymore and such that I would normally not start to crave for. They were specific foods that I had eaten years ago. And not even thought of for years and years. And it was not hunger I was feeling.
I noticed that during fasts, foods eaten years ago somehow 'returned to life' so to speak. My theory became that when we eat, not only toxins and other substances from the foods, are stored in our blood and tissue - which they are - but also some sort of energy print of the food, that which I call food spirits.

Heh.

OR.... It could just be very strong hallucinations brought on by STARVATION.

Oh Sean, as if she hadn't already thought of that:
Perhaps all won't sense these food energies/spirits during a fast. Sensing them meant that the food simply came to mind for a few minutes. I believe that this may in many cases be mistaken for hunger. When a person senses the detox of a food eaten long ago, and mistakes this 'thinking of a food' for hunger and wants to eat this particular food.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Every time I fast, I get a very strong and specific feeling of the spirit of a bagel with all the trimmings. Occasionally, this makes it hard to maintain my focus through Yom Kippur services.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I don't see enough chocolate in that chocolate cake to make up for the lime.
Well, allegedly it doesn't taste like hazelnut or lime, but instead like chocolate cake.
How this happens, I do not know. It's supposed to be some strange slight-of-hand of the tastebuds. I am intrigued to try it.

It's that same type of liquor alchemy where vanilla schnapps and cranberry juice tastes like cherry cheesecake.

It's like the mock apple pie made with Ritz crackers. [link]

I'm looking for the liquor alchemy that makes Early Times taste like Basil Hayden.

Yeah, good luck with that.
Unless the secret is lots and lots of Early Times. That eighth or ninth glass is probably pretty damn smooth.
