food porn
Glamorized meal photography
Food porn is media—photographs, videos, or descriptions—that presents food in an idealized, visually seductive way designed to trigger craving or pleasure.
The term borrows from pornography's appeal to visceral desire: glossy images of dripping cheese, perfectly stacked burgers, or glistening desserts.
Common on social media and cooking shows: My Instagram feed is nothing but food porn.
The related gastroporn emphasizes luxury or excess.
