Foodgasm (from the words "food" and "orgasm") is a neologism that indicates a pleasurable and euphoric feeling of satisfaction that occurs during the consumption of particularly amazing and delicious foods: this pleasure is sometimes accompanied by vocal noises (e.g. moans, sighs, screams of joy and happiness) and a variety of facial expressions.

In a linguistic aspect, Jurado (2018) discusses as follows: "the sequence '-gasm' does not reproduce the original meaning of orgasm in different groups of words in the corpus, but a slight variation. This element is used with the meaning of 'a feeling of excitement or enthusiasm', produced by the first element of the blend such as eargasm, infogasm or oreogasm".^[1] The term dates from the early 2000s.^[2]
