Picture this. It's Friday afternoon. You whip out your iPhone 5C (because that's how we do it in the west). You decide to frolic through Instagram in search of some food porn because you know very well that's the only kind of porn you're remotely comfortable being caught scrolling through in public.
You start your ascent into what you know will be happiness with a photo of a perfectly seared piece of salmon. Oh, how that perfectly applied Hudson filter gets you in all the right places you think. Out of the corner of your eye you spot a Nutella filled doughnut just bursting at the edges. You begin to scroll through your feed even faster with anticipation. Boy, oh boy that cooked to perfection of a poached egg is just about to make you scream.
You're at your peak. You're on the edge. You're about to give up every fibre of your being to the delight that was the cream filled apple turnover you just scrolled past. And then — in the blink of an eye — your vision comes crashing down to pieces...All because some girl violated the rules of Instagram and shamelessly used the #foodporn hashtag on her #nomakeup selfie.
You feel defeated. Deceived. Cheated on even. Believe us, we feel your frustration. That's why we're serving you up the first edition of our weekly Food Porn Fridays. Check out our picks of Western Sydney's finest culinary delights on offer below with the confidence that you won't run into a poorly composed photograph of someone's desk lunch. This is what real dreams are made of people.
