Rifling through back pockets in search of spare vocabulary-

Decadence- moral degeneration or sinful decay; turpitude. Unrestrained or excessive self-indulgence.

Shannie and I were discussing our next DoF (day of food) when we tangentially stumbled across that funny word- We, of course, couldn’t help ourselves…

"I bet sin would taste good if it were a flavor...
sin-flavored ice cream."

What would sin taste like?

It'd have a rather bitter aftertaste but it'd be sooo good at first.
Like chocolatey marshmallowy graham-cracker-spicy gummy worms?
Like the smoothest, creamiest foie gras
blanketed with an inky, gem-black layer of caviar ice cream?
Yes, with a gunpowder tea sprinkling
and maybe some spicy red pepper seeds.
The outside would be caramelized from the burning lakes of fire
The sulfuric fumes like the spiciest salsa verde,
tempered with ruby-red wisps of smoked paprika

Sin would burn the roof of the mouth and smoke down your throat, leaving an afterthought as it coarsed through the esophagus, quenching in the hellish pit of your stomach. You would savor it, remember it and loathe it for days. Would you have it again? Maybe-
