Does anyone else get super hungry when a book talks about food?
Like, not even movies or games, just books. Recently I've been reading this book called A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah, which is about his experiences as a child soldier in Sierra Leone. The book talks about this root (?) called cassava, and something about the author describing it made me really hungry for it, even though I had never heard of it before. Its really weird, and I don't really know why books incite such a reaction in me.
oh dude yes! George RR Martin is, of course, the most unnecessary food describer. never have I craved a rasher of bacon and a heel of black bread more than when he describes it.
