Well, think of the effect an omelette with truffles would have on a French
citizen who has eaten English food for several years, and you'll get the
picture. (Apologies to any irate British citizens; England is one of the most
wonderful places I've ever visited, and there are many things about England I
remember with great fondness, but the food is NOT one of them. Aside from some
excellent Tandouri food, I almost starved to death. On the other hand, most
Europeans would run screaming from the things Texans regard as edible, so who
am I to complain?) It literally implies that the speaker is salivating on
himself in a hunger-driven frenzy, or else has taken too much thorazine and
become a vegitable. Only a true tech-head would drool over a Livingston
Portmaster (myself included.)
