The Lovecraftian Cuisine

Seriously, what do you think about H.P. Lovecraft's gastronomical preferences??

There must be something wrong with a man who considers coffee imitation to be just as good as real coffee.

I guess writing The Call Of Cthulhu must have put him off sea-food... :lol:

Yes, writing about our favorite elder gods clearly addled the guy's brains. You know that Postum(tm) was made from grain, don't you? BLECCCHHH!

He was quite eccentric, that's to be sure, but Kraft Cheese, I am sorry.

He had gastro intestinal problems, IIRC.

Actually, I think his dislike of seafood was from his childhood.

If you actually read about him (such as his biographic by de Camp, I think), you'll find out he was somewhat eccentric, but normal person.

Not only that, but Lovecraft also liked ice cream with coffee flavour.... perhaps he tried at once to get Postum-flavoured ice cream???
