The premier issue of Blue Food is a slick zine with a glossy cover containing 48 pages of, well, just about everything you'd expect a magazine to have.  Inside you'll find fictional stories, poetry, non-fiction articles, profiles, product reviews, photography, comix and art.

Exactly what is Blue Food anyway?  Blood Food is, in its own words "a sex-positive journal of artist carnal expression that boldly pushes the envelope of acceptability."  Besides all this it is "free from cancer-causing dyes, saturated fats, cloying taboos and political correctness." Mix all that with a healthy helping of humor and you have a carnal feast for the senses.

I was impressed with both the quality and content of the zine.  It did indeed push the boundaries of sexuality in a way that was positive, humorous and unexpected, while maintaining dignity and quality above all else. The stories were clever, indulgent and engaging, from the mouth-watering M. Christian's Naked Supper in which the Fat Man consummates a gluttonous orgy of cannibalistic ecstasy, sensually sadistic with Jill Nagle's Yours about a master and his pet, to Greg Whitman's The Pool of Mr. & Mrs. DeMarcado where a housewife fantasizes over the murder of her husband which ends with an unexpected twist.

The photography was exquisite featuring Jim Kearns' dark edgy imagery of beautiful bondage that had a raw yet painterly style, and a profile on photographer Rick Castro who explores the world of masculine fetish and kink.  Distributed throughout the pages of Blue Food are morsels of provocative prose, wonderful and various illustrations including Raven Charles Sanderson's comic FantasErotic.

All this in one issue!  Incredible but true.  Blue Food offers an assortment of hedonistic pleasures for your deviant mind to chew over,  savor or simply devour.  It is sure to bring you back for a second heaping helping.
