Is there a word for the mixture of hunger and arousal felt when looking at really delicious food?

Asked by cthulette (177points) April 9th, 2015

The feeling that food-porn incites. It’s not physical hunger (though that would definitely be a related feeling) or a craving, necessarily, but like a visceral feeling of arousal (not sexual) when looking at/reading about/thinking about something delicious.

Is there a word for this, in English or any other language?
