The more expensive the restaurant, the more likely people describe food in terms of sex

Scientists have recently found that while dining at fine restaurants people are more likely to describe food in terms of sex.

While eating tasty food in a cheap diner was more likely to be compared with drug addiction and physical trauma, the Independent reported.

Diners at luxury restaurants praise the "orgasmic pastry" and "seductively seared foie gras", whereas patrons of less salubrious establishments justify their food choices by claiming "the fries were like crack" or that they are "addicted to wings".

There was no convincing answer to why this was the case but it might be that people associate dating with expensive restaurants. Both men and women used the language of sex in expensive restaurants.
