Food Porn: Say it with sweets, Alg¨¦riens that isPosted Aug 7th 2007 2:10PM by Joe DiStefanoFiled under: Dessert, Food Porn, Nuts/seeds, Northern Africa, France, SugarSomehow I don't feel quite right posting this sumptuous array of sweets from La Bague de Kenza, a famous Algerian pastry shop in Paris, in the lurid back alley we at Slashfood call Food Porn. But since there's no category for Food Romance, I have no choice. C'est dommage.These towers of goodies filled with honey, nuts, rosewater and all manner of other indulgences were captured by food writer Rachel Finn. The photo graced a recent Gastronomica article titled "Gâteaux Algériens: A Love Story." Finn wanted to find a gift for a man who owned her "heart for seven years," and chose some exquisite pastries. From the excerpt I'm led to believe that because of the depth of her relationship, and what I imagine to be one huge sweet tooth, she sampled all of the shop's wares. Romantic as that thought, is I'm not sure I buy it. Ah, who am I to say, I'm always eager to "test" gifts before giving them to a lover who's as passionate about food as I am. Of course one always runs the risk of consuming the present before giving it to one's significant gourmand.[via: Algerian Cuisine]
