Mmmm

I'm not a gustatory person at all, and I'm no fan of Rachel Ray's cutesy shtick--but as somebody interested in gesture and non-verbal forms of communication, I could watch stuff like this all day:



It's fascinating how much information there is in each sound that Ms. Ray makes. Each "mmmm" is the same and yet subtly different. There's the 'Better than I expected' mmm; the 'I'm having an orgasm' mmmmmm; the 'just the ticket' mmmmm; the 'WOW' mmmmmm; the 'good but not great' mmmmmmm; the hot and spicy mmmmmm; the mmmmmmm for sweets; the thirst quencher mmmmmmm; the comforted mmmmmm; and probably many more.

What are some of the ones you heard? Do you make sounds and gestures like this when you eat?

Rachael Ray is a lousy tipper.

Yeah, I bet she is.

But her gurglings fascinate me.
