I find food hedonistic and enjoy its taste, texture, smell, sight, color, and how different foods combine with one another. Several weeks ago I had a brunch at a cafe - just cheese, crostini, a few pecans, apple pieces, honey, and baby greens, all served on a wooden board. It was just so sensuous and perfect - everything was perfect and how it was all arranged and combined together was overwhelmingly sensuous. Even without wine to go with it it was incredibly sexy.
I think I like still life paintings with food for the same reason - totally sexy.
