If Dickens were food

If Dickens were food Modern Cookery, 1846

Here's my first one: if Charles Dickens' books were food, they would be Christmas pudding. Not because there's a famous pudding-eating scene in A Christmas Carol. But because his writing is substantial, rich, well-preserved, quintessentially English and all-round Victorian. And with a good measure of nutty character.

 

Dickens liked to indulge in food scenes, often as a way of exploring character and theme. For a taste of his luscious language, I'll quote Nicholas Nickleby: "The dinner was as remarkable for the splendour and completeness of its appointments as the mansion itself, and the company were remarkable for doing it ample justice."

Or there's this deliciously dark brew from Bleak House: "Mr Tulkinghorn, sitting in the twilight by the open window, enjoys his win. As if it whispered to him of its fifty years of silence and seclusion, it shuts him up the closer. More impenetrable than ever, he sits, and drinks, and mellows as it were in secrecy, pondering at that twilight hour on all the mysteries he knows".

I have eaten a full serving of both these solid books. But I have http://www.charlesdickensinfo.com/quotes to thank for reminding me of these quotes.

    Garrett nods his head as he wraps the jock over his head, and takes a hearty breathe of the pouch placed over his nose. Garrett sits on the commode, where his father had sat.

    “Coach told us. To go beat off. Seeing all those tents in our shorts; he said we should have all been working out naked. Our shorts weren’t covering up, anything, as our cock’s periscoped out and over the elastic waistbands of our shorts.” He says to his dad as he steps from the shower. His father steps into the shower, turning on the water. As he soaks and lathers himself up under the lukewarm stream of water, he fondles his cock and balls. His cock soon mimics that of his son.

    “Do it!” His dad orders. “Dad! Dad!” His son says in a straining voice. “Release me?”

    He lifts his head from its bowed stance and looks into the eyes of his father wanting some acknowledgement. The one shower after his workout and practice had been a good start. But the walk home had tired him. But the massaging jets of water caressing across his muscular frame takes the weariness from his bones from this stressful day.
