Foodgasm (food + orgasm)

A “foodgasm” (food + orgasm) is the ecstasy experienced from eating food—or, in some case, from merely looking at food or thinking about food. The term “foodgasm” has been cited in print since at least 1996.
 
 
Urban Dictionary
foodgasm
This is what occurs when you are eating a particularly enticing food. You get so excited to eat it you practically orgasm, thus resulting in a foodgasm. Some instances of this may include:
1. Becoming weak in the knees
2. Eyes rolling back in head and moaning while possibly shouting “this is so fucking good!!”
3. Taste so overwhelming you have to take breaks between bites to keep from shutting your system down.
The smooth taste and texture of the turkey swiss Potbelly sandwich was enough for Ronny to have multiple foodgasms.

Okay, now imagine the foodgasm one gets from, say, an ultra rich gooey brownie.

Ironically, I always refer my reaction to a Krispy Kreme doughnut as a ‘foodgasm’.  You know the feeling, when you can’t stop saying “Mmmmmmm” (Think along the lines of the scene in ‘What About Bob?’)
