The word "consummate" doesn't mean "consume". Usually it's not used to describe eating.

"Paraphenalia" is usually used on the stuff that belongs to a woman.

"Food" and "foods" are different and here the overuse of "foods" make the writing unexceptional.

I envy that you are still young and able to enjoy taking in so much into your stomach in a short period of time :-)

看来paraphernalia也许可更泛用一些,只是看了众多例句,少有真把它和belongings等同, -淘金客- 给 淘金客 发送悄悄话 淘金客 的博客首页 (33 bytes) () 02/07/2013 postreply 19:25:59
