The 15 Most Mouth-Watering Food Porn Photos of 2013
We’ve spent the past few months tempting you with scintillating scenes of holiday pies, rich, unctuous gravies, sweet potato casseroles, and every single edible application eggnog has to offer. Soon it will be 2014 and we’ll all have to make resolutions and start eating salad again but, for the time being, this tumble down the food porn rabbit hole is not yet finished. In the meantime, we invite you to continue with us in our tumble — this time with the 15 most provocative food porn photos of 2013. There’s a lot of cheese here. Bacon is also a big theme. And the s’more makes two separate appearances (it’s something about the gooey marshmallow, I think). Breathe deeply, and then keep reading for the year’s 15 most stimulating food photos.

Sweet Potato Fries with Andouille Gravy and Pimiento Cheese

Apricot, Blue Cheese, and Honey Toasts
Who knew toast could be this sexy? It seems that, with the right amount of cheese, even the most innocent loaves of bread can be transformed. These toasts are topped in apricots, melty blue cheese, toasted walnuts, and delicate little drips of honey. And, as I’m sure you’ve noticed, they are very, very tempting. (via Naturally Ella)
