Needs Help: Food Porn

Yes, there have been three previous threads for this trope.

However, the current is a stock image. Insta-pull.

Some possible replacements from Flickr: 1 2 3 4 5

Edit: Crowner

Good catch; it's pulled and the page is tagged. Of the suggestions, I like the first two best.

Old pic:

Can someone attach the crowner I linked in post #1?

Bit soon for a crowner...let's get some thoughts on the suggestions and see if any more come in.

I prefer the second image, myself.

Some other suggestions: Sushi◊, too literal?◊

I think we need something from a work for this.

Umm what about something lovingly drawn? this◊ from Gourmet Girl Graffiti?

this?◊[1]◊ [2]◊ [3]◊

I think it would be nice to have something from a work, actually. Perhaps something like this◊?

for 6.2 for the visual pun (though still being stock footage)
for 8 for being a decent work example

That sure is a lot of good suggestions. There weren't very many work-related images in the previous threads, so it's a good thing we have more now.

6.2's a stock pic? Where did you find it? I took it off a blog post.

I'm more concerned about whether or not the sauce nipple in 6.2 crosses the NSFW line or not.

It's absurd enough to get a pass.

btw it's hilarious, 6.2 gets a .

Not even close IMO.

I am against 6.2, food based porn is a real trope that exists but THIS trope is certainly not that.

I'd say, 6.2 is covered by this trope: Food artfully portrayed in a manner reminiscent of the way one would show porn.

Resembling how porn is shown, not resembling porn. It's about enhancing and making the food look like it would be better than sex, not making it look like something else. I find it misleading.

The trope itself makes me immediately think of Shokugeki no Soma, but despite having its premise revolve entirely around Food Porn, it's actually kind of hard to find a suitable image. I tried to include a character's reaction to the food, because simply showing pictures of food is going invite a ZCE magnet. That, or something to indicate focus on the food, like Bishie Sparkle or the like. [1]◊ [2]◊ [3] [4]◊

18.2 is good

18.2 looks repelling.

Methinks, it's about time to start a crowner.

Definitely time for a crowner.

Also, as others have said, 6.2 is a Visual Pun rather than an actual example. Perhaps, as others have also said, it would be misleading as the page pic for Food Porn and make people add examples of food that looks like porn instead of being artfully presented. We can, however, put it on ImageLinks.Visual Pun.

I'm fine with 6.2 being Image Links fodder. I'm not going to have time to set up a crowner, but one would probably be a good idea at this point, as we've got a lot of suggestions.

I added the other options to the OP's crowner.

The crowner looks ready to hook.

I think that a metaphorical article name is the worst time to use a Visual Pun image; the risk of being misleading is high.
