Sentence: Bob was a foodfreak with a postprandial pica for pinuscule pickings, And when no-one was looking, he tidbitulated on salami's peppercorn granules, the eyes of emmentaler, and modigobs of mushroom stalks.

COMMENTS:

I like this one. It suggests a certain fastidiousness to the whole process which makes it a little more civilised and socially acceptable. - Nettle, 2007-09-27: 09:46:00

Pronunciation: HID-bitz

Sentence: John knew he was as full as he could be so he asked the waiter for a "doggie" bag. Even so he couldn't resist hounding after the morsels left on his plate for he knew that 80% of the flavor in any dish is crammed into the hidbits, those tiny scraps that most people politely leave behind.

Etymology: Hidden (adjective: kept out of sight; concealed) + Bits (a small piece, part, or quantity of something) Derivative of tidbit (a small piece of tasty food)

Pronunciation: yum-BO-nuss

Sentence: Deierdre had it all-looks, talent, money... and she was just slopping over with class. StubblyJack was sure she was "The One"...until he saw her eat a burrito. When she finished the beantorpedo, she proceeded to scrape the foil wrapper with her teeth, YUMBONUSing the congealed cheese with gusto. StubblyJack had never seen anyone mortifeed before, but for the sake of love, he would try to get used to it. Pizza boxes, popsickle sticks, styrofoam plates and cupcake shells would not be discarded until Deirdre had eaten all the stubbornly clinging nutriscraps. She had an endearing habit of running her finger around the bottom of the pudding pot. StubblyJack tried to ingestall with her, but he just couldn't match Deierdre's ability to YUMBONUS all the dregs of 21st century take-out food.

Etymology: Yum-interjection used to express pleasurable satisfaction especially in the taste of food..... Bonus: something in addition to what is expected or strictly due-Latin, literally, good

Pronunciation: stel thee foods

Sentence: Madge was a big fan of stealthyfoods. You know, the kind you'd have to sneak so as not to seem gluttonous. She loved to eat any garnishes put on her food at restaurants...sprigs of parsley, citrus slices, pickles, pineapple spears, melon triangles, heck, even radish roses or strawberry fans. She believed in getting her money's worth and to her the garnishes were the tastiest part of the dish. People stared, but she didn't care. Her only concern was whether she could afford the rest of the dish. Afterall, wouldn't she hate to get her celery garnisheed???

Etymology: stealthy (avoiding detection by moving carefully) & foods (any substance that can be metabolized by an organism to give energy and build tissue) & rhymes with Healthy Foods (nutritious diet)

What are those kittle styrofoam-like things they put into the bag of shrimp toast? Somebody told me they're edible, but the jury is still out on this one... - metrohumanx, 2008-08-28: 01:33:00

I am a foodlum. I eat the parsley if nobody's looking, but sometimes it makes me choke. And I always look forward to Nosila's writings. - metrohumanx, 2008-08-28: 03:46:00
