The 'Gay Diet' If 'man food' is meat and 'girl food' is salad, what's 'gay food'?
Simon Doonan has just written a new book called Gay Men Don't Get Fat. Doonan is less famous here than he is in the States: he's a Reading-born, highly successful window dresser for Barneys, a style columnist for the New York Post and elsewhere, and is married to the designer Jonathan Adler.
His title alludes, of course, to the mid-noughties bestseller French Women Don't Get Fat, which did more to raise awareness of the French paradox among the general public than any book before it. Doonan's text is more of an arch and witty discourse on aspects of gay and straight life, written in a gossipy, frivolous and ultimately rather lovable style.
"Straight foods are basic and uncontrived," he writes. "Gay foods are fiddly and foofy ... Sushi may well be the gayest food on earth. The design of the average ikura gunkan maki or hirame nigiri is, if you look at it objectively, really quite extraordinary. Sushi chefs are basically taking sloppy bits of fish and magically reworking them into exquisite bonbons. How gay, right? ... While sushi is swishy, Mexican food is unbelievably macho. As delicious as a burrito is, it is basically just a cross between a turd and a penis."

If they are gay why would they eat a dish that smelled like fish? I'm honestly not sure why this seemed appropriate to post.

Hungry is hungry, wasn't aware that perverts had a claim on certain foods. It makes sense though. Mental issues are usually intertwined with body issues. Eating disorders are the new 'chic' with the heroin junky look these past years.

Most of what I read from the 1600s is about arty, how to deploy it and use it, and regular order of arms.
That's mostly what they wrote about then.
They wrote about every-damn-thing in the 1800s and early 1900s.
And then came the copyright.

Yark! Huh, weird. That "Nigerians" photo just.... disappeared. The comment is still there (and now makes no sense whatsoever), but I refreshed the page and it was ..... gone.
Maybe the mods pulled it, but it's been up on FR before... that's where I got it originally!
Oh, well.

Still weirder... the HTML source of this page still has the link, and it still works (when clicked from the source display), but it won't show when the page is refreshed.
Ah, ok, figured it out. Local cache problem in Firefox. It's working again now.
Nevermind....

That is dumb. So the entire country of Japan is eating “gay” food. It is so funny how they have to compartmentalize everybody.

This is so stupid. Promoting a dumb-ass stereotype on purpose.
There was a gay couple across from me for several years. One was so fat they had to sell the house because he had a very difficult time accessing the second floor. He was the sugar daddy.

Blowfish.
A real restaurant on Santana Row in San Jose, CA is known as a gay hangout.

I was going to say the gay fat guy from Modern Family but turns out he's not really gay. But the skinny one is. There’s your proof./s

Sushi may well be the gayest food on earth. Some might disagree.
