So much so that I'll find myself making tea (I'm a confessed coffee addict, level 400) if the character is drinking tea, baking bread if I read about a fresh loaf, or craving soup if the characters are going on about a bitingly cold day.

With the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich I eat McDonalds WAY too much while reading those. Thank the gods I can read them in one day. ha!<br /><br />Books are almost better than tv adverts because you're so immersed in the world you want to eat what they eat. But I have to say whenever a family sits down to a roast or some big meal on TV I suddenly need turkey and mashed potatoes or roast beef. ha!Cat @ Beyond Bookshttp://beyondbooks.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-109955980329789216.post-31840913159130749102010-09-22T16:07:58.712+10:002010-09-22T16:07:58.712+10:00Oh my god, I do this ALL the time.

Like homemade oriecchette in A Breath In May, rustic chunks of bread and cheese in Heidi (yeah I still read that!), and even the lamb and plum stew in The Hunger Games. I'm starting to think from reading this that the bread and cheese thing is pretty universal. Mind you, I always wanted to try beef tea after reading about it in old fashioned children's books, and then recently I saw it made on tv and... gross. Really gross.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06483030255023873716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-109955980329789216.post-23943955445013681122010-09-22T09:24:09.335+10:002010-09-22T09:24:09.335+10:00Food and books are two of my favorite things, so I...Food and books are two of my favorite things, so I totally understand the need to eat food from those places when you read. Fantasy always fills me with this overwhelming desire to eat grits, for example!<br /><br />I can't believe you guys don't have booths in Australia - that's so sad.

I was given fresh crusty bread and a lovely sharp cheddar (complete with rind) and I sat under a bush and imagined I was in Sherwood Forest. It was a bit sharp for a kid, but I persevered and I think my love of cheese probably dates from then!RobHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01524244144970381066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-109955980329789216.post-85632470544653876822010-09-20T20:30:23.767+10:002010-09-20T20:30:23.767+10:00I can't remember but I loved reading your post...I can't remember but I loved reading your post :DMari - Escape In A Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15597584812785465678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-109955980329789216.post-26539217607901286412010-09-20T15:49:11.680+10:002010-09-20T15:49:11.680+10:00Hmm, good question!

(And I love sweet things!)<br /><br />I often read while eating, especially cheese. If characters discuss dessert, I almost always have to make it.
