A few things

·         The word "consummate" doesn't mean "consume". Usually it's not used to describe eating.  è You have a misunderstanding here. “consume” never even came cross my mind. I wasn’t describing eating. A minimum payment would certainly make the whole experience perfect.

·         "Paraphernalia" is usually used on the stuff that belongs to a woman. è Not necessarily. Are you looking at the third definition here? http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Paraphernalia 

·         "Food" and "foods" are different and here the overuse of "foods" make the writing unexceptional.  è Very interesting thinking.  How are “food” and “foods” different? Please be specific and feel free to quote from my writing.  Other than “foods”, what would you like to use?
