Orgasmically Delicious

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.
I'll have what she's having.

Okay, so Alice and Bob likes pie. In fact, it's her Trademark Favorite Food. Thing is, when she eats it, she seems to derive a more-than-culinary pleasure from the experience.

For her, this food is Orgasmically Delicious.

If watching Alice eat said food is Fetish Fuel, then it overlaps with Erotic Eating. If this food actually boosts the character's performance, then it overlaps with Power-Up Food. If it has this effect on everybody, a Supreme Chef probably prepared it. If Bob really likes Alice, he may give her some in hopes that she will return his affection.

May be the result of character's favorite food becoming Flanderized. Could be Justified if the character is starving.

Can also apply to drinks.

See Establishing an Unreachable Baseline when a particular version of the dish resets the diner's "minimum acceptable".

No real life examples, please; this is All The Tropes, not Tropes After Dark.

Examples of Orgasmically Delicious include:

Advertising

  • Sonny the Cuckoo does this every time he gets "cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs."
  • A PG Tips Tea ad in which Monkey's attempt to describe "The Taste" quickly turns into a parody of That Scene from When Harry Met Sally....
  • The reformulated Clairol Herbal Essences had endless examples of this.
  • Ladies in Dannon yogurt commercials often look like they are having orgasms.
  • As do the ladies in the 2010-11 York peppermint patty commercials.

Anime and Manga

  • Half of Yakitate!! Japan's comedy comes from Azuma's new bread inventions and the completely insane ways that the rest of the cast reacts to tasting it.
  • Kurosaki gets orgasmic when eating McDonalds food in Kemeko Deluxe
  • In the Oh My Goddess! manga, Aoshima loves a good bento way too much. It doesn't help matters for Keiichi that Belldandy (whom Aoshima is always trying to hit on) is a great chef, and for Sora (who has a crush on Aoshima) that she's an awful chef.
  • Burn Up Excess opens with a scene like this - we're meant to believe that Rio is engaging in some sort of sexual activity, considering the noises she's making, but then the camera pans out to reveal that she's just really enjoying her ramen.
  • Mahoromatic: Chizu really likes Mahoro's cooking.
  • In the Harem Comedy Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san, male lead Kogarashi has learned a wide variety of skills, which definitely includes his cooking; it often strikes the lucky ladies who taste his food in this way. (They're not actually naked; that's just another aspect of their reaction.) The "little girl" responding to the sweet bean jelly is actually over a thousand years old, so she'd have plenty of experience of quality eating, but the pleasure still overwhelms her. One girl said a dish Kogarashi had prepared was so good, not just in taste but in appearance, that it seemed as if it must have been made by a deity rather than a human.

Even those friends, though, have to admit that his 'special' treats are frequently just that good.
