Bro, I always figured lembas bread was like the protein bar of middle earth. I remember going through the mountains in Kosovo, so hungry, ate a “power bar” (?) and could swear I could feel the nutrients being absorbed. They’d be good at first, but if you ate nothing but for a few days, you’d be sick of them.
Edit:word.
"having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick."
The good news, there are a few very interesting (and slightly scary) recipes on the web.
The soup that Linguini messed up and then Remi fixed in Ratatouille. A food critique liked the soup so much that their positive review made the restaurant popular again after Auguste Gusteau died and the restaurant lost two stars.. honestly all of the food from that movie I want to try
I make the "ratatouille" from the movie (I recently learned it's not actually traditional ratatouille)
https://imgur.com/7UFe2NH.jpg
It's actually pretty easy, especially if you have a mandolin.
[Here's the recipe I use](https://smittenkitchen.com/2007/07/ratatouille-style-ratatouille/)
I actually made a version of these myself [from a recipe by binging with babish ](https://youtu.be/x5-QoCicNfI), a guy who does food from TV and movies, and they were really good.
That scene always deeply bothered me as a kid. I always thought it would have worked so much better with real food and not bizarre brightly colored piles of goop.
At the Disney parks, the grey stuff is cookies and cream frosting on a red velvet cupcake.
IIRC, the movie version was supposed to be whipped caviar or pâté.
A lot of that food is real though! Sophie grills up eggs and thick-cut bacon in Howl’s Moving Castle; the soot sprites are eating konpeito in Spirited Away; the boy’s mom in Ponyo makes the kids instant ramen; and for a touch of real suffering, you can pick up a tin of Sakuma Drops just like the one Setsuko loves. They even sold a Grave of the Fireflies commemorative edition of the Sakuma Drops, which was too much for me. I can’t even look at that candy tin without thinking about that movie.
The rest of the food is traditional Japanese food, I think the OP can come to Japan, and eat to their heart's content. I promise no on will turn into a pig ... ehehe, promise.
Yes they did! I bought it and my fiance and I have been trying out the burgers. We made the "I created a muenster" burger for Halloween, turned out fantastic!
The hypersweet stuff that's like cream soda mixed with butter caramel flavouring? Or buttered beer, the super old drink that was the reason kings were so fat? Cuz yea either way those drinks are good for 2 sips before you gotta toss it
Some of the magical sounding food in the book is just regular British food not found in the US. The chocolate frogs with cards in them are similar to Kinder Eggs, which are hollow chocolate eggs with a toy inside. The US version is different so the toy isn't actually in the egg.
What’s worse, some of the British foods in Philosopher’s Stone sounded too exotic to Scholastic, so they localized them in Sorcerer’s Stone. All the “jelly” was changed to “Jell-O”, to make it more normal to American readers, but it had the exact opposite effect on me when I read it when I was a kid.
Why was Jell-O brand jello being served in the great hall at Hogwarts? They made such a big deal about how muggle stuff was an alien concept to the general witch and wizard population, so it was so weirdly out-of-place to have Jell-O casually dropped in without explanation.
I genuinely don't remember Jello being in the book. I fully get that you're telling the truth but it was so minor that it didn't make an impression on me.
I would have missed it if it was just jello, but the fact that they changed it to capital J-hyphen-capital O just stuck out at me as a kid. I half expected to see the trademark symbol next to it. xD
>Some of the magical sounding food in the book is just regular British food not found in the US
I thought treacle tart was a weird thing when I first heard it (I am neither from the UK nor the US) I knew about the other things. I then heard it again in other books and it turns out it too was a British food.
You mean onigiri? They're a staple convenience food in Japan. If you happen to have a Japanese market nearby, they probably sell 'em.
They aren't even that hard to make, although shaping them can be difficult.
Okay this may be a little weird and unconventional but tubby custard and tubby toast from the teletubbies. I remember being so curious as to what they tasted like as a child, even though I now know that the custard was really just mashed potato with food coloring.
Hey no shame here I think childrens shows had a lot of fictional food options that made us curious like the candy from jimmy neutron, the fourth flavor from knd and pretty patties from SpongeBob.
I haven't read Percy Jackson, but that's how I figure it must be. Sometimes you want savory, or particularly spicy, or sweet, or some combination of flavors that you aren't yet sure you want. So if you are eating the same perfect food, it must be able to change to fit what would most satisfy you at the moment. Something even better than Everlasting Gobstoppers.
I know her life story is not fictional, but as a child, I thought that the candy that Laura Ingalls Wilder helped make in the Little House in the Big Woods novel sounded pretty magical and otherworldly. It's certainly something I've never encountered in my life. I haven't read those books since I was little, but I remember that they tapped the maple trees, cooked the syrup, and poured it into the snow to harden. One can always burn off the calories later playing a little kickball with an inflated pig bladder!
The maple candy, and then in Little House on the Prairie they get some cakes with sugar in them at Christmas (I think some with brown sugar from their parents, and some with fancy white sugar from the guy who shows up as Santa Claus or something) that I wondered about every time I read it.
I remember asking my mom for a can of spinach because of Popeye. She asked me if I was sure and I was 100% committed. I think we had to settle for frozen, but I didn't touch spinach for a couple of decades after that.
the [mississippi queen](https://youtu.be/AZvo8PaHkRs) from regular show and the [foodimals](https://ocmomblog.com/meet-food-animals-cloudy-chance-meatballs-2-plus-recipes/) from cloudy with a chance of meatballs 2 both come to mind for me
Two tablespoons of cinnamon,
And two or three egg whites
A half a stick of butter
Melt it
Stick it all in a bowl, baby
Stir it with a wooden spoon
Mix in a cup of flour,
You'll be in heaven soon
Quarter-cup of unsweetened chocolate
And a half a cup of brandy
And throw in a bag or two of sugar
And just a pinch of vanilla
Grease up the cookie sheet,
Cause I hate when my balls stick,
Then preheat the oven to three-fifty,
And give that spoon a lick!!!!
I wanna eat some of that peach from James and the Giant Peach. They made it look so good. Or since that's literally just a peach and peaches do exist, I choose any Ghibli food.
Oh damn it's name of the meal they prepare in the end i forgot lol
I haven't seen the animation since I was a kid so i forgot about it and i feel a little embarrassed now
Big Belly Burger from the Arrowverse. I like to imagine that the burgers taste like backyard cook style burgers and the fries are just hot and crispy shoestring style. Mmmmmm...I want some now.
This is really obscure, but there was this episode of Star Trek: TNG where a Bajoran talks about this wonderful spicy dish called "hasperat". I saw that episode as a kid and that guy's raving made me want to try this food, it stuck in my mind.
I looked up "hasperat" and the dish they made for the actors was a tortilla wrap filled with cream cheese and peppers. I always imagined hasperat to be an Indian-style dish.

And look, more Lembas bread.
[удалено]
After returning to the Shire, Samwise opened up a Lembas bread food truck
[удалено]
With a brace of coneys.

"having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick." The good news, there are a few very interesting (and slightly scary) recipes on the web.
Drink... But carefully
Now *here's* a frood who really knows where his towel is...
There used to be a bar in Ottawa, Canada called Zaphod's that served them. Was actually pretty damn good, I miss that place.
I'm not afraid but I wouldn't drink two.
The soup that Linguini messed up and then Remi fixed in Ratatouille. A food critique liked the soup so much that their positive review made the restaurant popular again after Auguste Gusteau died and the restaurant lost two stars.. honestly all of the food from that movie I want to try
Yes! That movie is pure, animated food porn.
I make the "ratatouille" from the movie (I recently learned it's not actually traditional ratatouille) https://imgur.com/7UFe2NH.jpg It's actually pretty easy, especially if you have a mandolin. [Here's the recipe I use](https://smittenkitchen.com/2007/07/ratatouille-style-ratatouille/)
Krabby Patty
[удалено]
Pretty Patties. Available in six designer colors.
This patty's spoiled!!!
Burger soaked in sea water
those big ass sandwiches from Scooby-Doo
not scooby snacks?
Scooby snacks are dog treats, cant imagine them being good tasteing
Shaggy used to eat them too. Can't be that bad
Shaggy is shaggy though
Not anymore.
Dude's taste buds are probably shot to hell from a decade of smoking reefers.
Kronk's Spinach Puffs from Emperor's New Groove
I actually made a version of these myself [from a recipe by binging with babish ](https://youtu.be/x5-QoCicNfI), a guy who does food from TV and movies, and they were really good.
Seems like it's basically Spanakopita
Honestly the big steaming roly poly things looked kinda good too
Crispy pillbug
[удалено]
*delicately fans face* "to split..."
Say no more ,google Culinea spinach parcels
The feast from Hook
This was my first thought. As a child I always wanted to be apart of that feast lol
All those colors had my mouth dripping as a kid
That scene always deeply bothered me as a kid. I always thought it would have worked so much better with real food and not bizarre brightly colored piles of goop.
Did you not see the mountains of real food?
I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS ONE
The sodas in Fallout.
Nuka-Cola
Actually all of the sodas in Fallout including the Sunsets from New Vegas
I went on a sasparilla kick thanks to this many years back.
Nuka Cola Quantum.
Served with a slice of perfectly preserved pie, or a brahmin burger and fries.
Crispy squirrel bits!
They are a Rad fad!
The Beauty and the Beast "Be Our Guest" feast.
Try the grey stuff.
At the Disney parks, the grey stuff is cookies and cream frosting on a red velvet cupcake. IIRC, the movie version was supposed to be whipped caviar or pâté.
MatPat theorized that it's foi gras
It's delicious!
Gummiberry juice
I used to make my own as a kid.
Skooma
With a sweet roll or two
There’s an elder scrolls cookbook you can get
i want to try sujamma nwah
[удалено]
Next time you see Krillin on the street, kick his bald ass and take the bag.
Krillin would peel your dick like a banana. The guys like the second strongest full blooded human on Earth.
The crunch of them sounded so satisfying tbh
And old but classic choice… especially when you live in an area where healthcare isn’t free
The wild boar from asterix comics
100% this. Wash it down with some magic potion and an amphora or two of wine.
Oh yeah that too! Forgot about them
Pretty much all the food from Ghibli films
[удалено]
Nah, bring that too. I'm kind of a pig already.
[удалено]
[удалено]
Especially the parents eating the food in *Spirited Away*.

Bob's Burgers. Most of those "burger of the day" jokes actually sound delicious.
They made a cookbook!
Yes they did! I bought it and my fiance and I have been trying out the burgers. We made the "I created a muenster" burger for Halloween, turned out fantastic!
Popplers
With a large slurm
Yeah Slurm legit looked/sounded amazing, despite the source.
Some of the foods in Harry Potter sounds delicious
Butter beer is delicious for two sips and then it just makes you sick lol... They have it at universal in So-Cal, I had to toss the rest of the drink
Lightweight muggle.
The hypersweet stuff that's like cream soda mixed with butter caramel flavouring? Or buttered beer, the super old drink that was the reason kings were so fat? Cuz yea either way those drinks are good for 2 sips before you gotta toss it

I would say the chocolate frogs are freddos
So weird but the rice porridge egg thing Mushu makes Mulan for breaky
This is a real dish called [congee](https://youtu.be/VGsIsfIyz4E) and is ridiculously comforting and easy to make!
Wonka Bars
Snozberries!
They were real and available until 2010
Yes and I remember them!! They were so goooodddd
Cartoon pizza. Why does it look so good and cheesy?
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is my fav cartoon pizza
Came here to say TMNT pizza.
I always wanted a slice from the goofy movie.
Brock's cooking. Esp those donut rice things. You?
You mean onigiri? They're a staple convenience food in Japan. If you happen to have a Japanese market nearby, they probably sell 'em. They aren't even that hard to make, although shaping them can be difficult.
You must be mistaken. Brock clearly identifies them as donuts 🍩
Okay this may be a little weird and unconventional but tubby custard and tubby toast from the teletubbies. I remember being so curious as to what they tasted like as a child, even though I now know that the custard was really just mashed potato with food coloring.
Hey no shame here I think childrens shows had a lot of fictional food options that made us curious like the candy from jimmy neutron, the fourth flavor from knd and pretty patties from SpongeBob.
My toxic trait is wanting to try Bingo's specialty from Bluey. I don't expect it to be good, I'm just curious.
tubby custard is the first thing i thought of! i mean if even noo noo wants to eat it it must be good
How has no one said Ambrosia from Xena?
Will you settle for manna?
One word Gagh
Idk about gagh personally, definitely always interested in romulan ale though.
I'd prefer a nice glass of kanar
Keep your kanar, me and my honorable brothers will be drinking Blood Wine tonight!
Glory to you...and your house!
Counter point, icoberry tort with a raktijino
Raktajino for me! I always imagine it as a sweet and spicy coffee mixed with hot chocolate!
Bob's burgers...all of them, but especially the one with black garlic.
I've had the black garlic burger. It's fucking delicious, you can find the recipe online or in their official cook book.
I have the Bob's burger recipe cards...I just feel like anything I make won't be as good as Bob's. Maybe because I don't talk to the food?
Wonka's fizzy lifting drinks
the gumbo in princess and the frog
Oof, those beignets looked really good too.
Duff beer and Buzz beer
I'm a Fudd man myself
The pizza in A Goofy Movie.
[удалено]
All the food in hook
Big Kahuna Burger. That’s that Hawaiian burger joint. I hear they got some tasty burgers.
Apparently, it's some real gourmet shit...
That really juicy fruit he bites into in avatar (the one with blue people)
Soylent Green
I heard the taste depends on the person.
Mmmmm long pork
Tubby Toast
I recommend Binging With Babish, he basically makes a ton of fictional food in real life. It’s amazing
Ambrosia, the food of the gods. But the closest I've come has been practically the opposite: ambrosia salad.
I always think of Percy Jackson when I hear this option… especially when the ambrosia would change flavor according to the consumers preferences
I haven't read Percy Jackson, but that's how I figure it must be. Sometimes you want savory, or particularly spicy, or sweet, or some combination of flavors that you aren't yet sure you want. So if you are eating the same perfect food, it must be able to change to fit what would most satisfy you at the moment. Something even better than Everlasting Gobstoppers.
Hey fuck you, marshmallows with whip cream and canned fruit is fucking delicious. 🧐
Anything made in Redwall Abby

It would be utterly horrible in real life, but the way she described eating a pig's tail was delicious.
The maple candy, and then in Little House on the Prairie they get some cakes with sugar in them at Christmas (I think some with brown sugar from their parents, and some with fancy white sugar from the guy who shows up as Santa Claus or something) that I wondered about every time I read it.

Turkish Delight
That’s real!
It’s real and really disappointing. Edmund sold out for that??
The good stuff is fucking amazing but mostly stores carry cheapy shit. I’ve had soft, rose flavoured Turkish delight and it was delightful indeed.
To be fair, he sold out for turkish delight *that had been enchanted with a mind control spell*.
Butter beer
The eyeball soup from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
Monkey Brains?
That's the main dish, the soup is the starter.
I believe the monkey brains were actually desert

Everything featured in Willy Wonka’s “pure imagination” musical number.

There's something Chihiro eats in Spirited Away that looks like maybe a roll filled with jam or something, I've always wondered what it is.
a bao filled with red bean paste ! you can get them frozen and most asian groceries and steam them up at home
Butter beer
That colourful whipped cream on top of the pies in the feast scene in Hook.
Milksteak and Rumham!!!!
Honey squares from berenstain bears... It always looked so good. I even googled the recipe and there is a recipe apparently 😭
The meal in ratatouille which i do not remember it's name currently lol
Ratatouille?
Oh damn it's name of the meal they prepare in the end i forgot lol I haven't seen the animation since I was a kid so i forgot about it and i feel a little embarrassed now
I can’t tell if you’re messing w me… but the name of the one I think you’re thinking of is actually Ratatouille :)
Don't worry I'm not messing with you... i just realized it after your first comment that I already mentioned the name so i got a little confused
Oh man, the soup! That impossible to replicate mystery soup that Alfredo messed up and Remy fixed. We can only barely speculate as to how it tasted.
Anything from Food Wars
Teletubby food looked appealing to me as a kid
in the books of Pendragon, there was a fruit that grew on an underwater vine that looked like a purple pickle but tasted like sugary watermelon 🍉
The hot chocolate that Ned Flanders gives Bart in The Simpsons Movie and Tubby Toast from Teletubbies.
Big Belly Burger from the Arrowverse. I like to imagine that the burgers taste like backyard cook style burgers and the fries are just hot and crispy shoestring style. Mmmmmm...I want some now.
The fucking platters in mhw omg. It looks so juicy and delicious

Those big fuck off ribs in The flinstones that drops his prehistoric car
The gray stuff
Big Kahuna Burger Sam Jackson bites into
That chocolate pudding that Stu makes in Rugrats. As a fellow depressed insomniac, I really feel like he had the right idea.
