This 5 Fandom Friday prompt is right up my alley, 5 Favorite Fictional Foods. As a serious lover of food, I love seeing all of the imaginary food that exist in our fandoms. Food + fandom might just be my favorite topic yet. I decided to do a list of both food and drinks, so here are my 5 favorites.
EVERYTHING – Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
As a kid, this was entire scene was just so amazing for me. I would seriously love to eat ANY of the candy in there, but for some reason the thing I want most is the cream out of the mushroom. Basically, when I die, this is what my heaven is like.
Slurm – Futurama
Sure how it’s made is a bit repulsive, but I’d absolutely have a can of Slurm. When in Rome 🙂
Chocolate Salty Balls – South Park
I mean, sure there’s some innuendo here (which I love), but the combination of salty + sweet is so hot right now. Chocolate is basically a food group as far as I’m concerned so I’d totally eat these (the actual chocolate balls, not Chef’s HA).
Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster – Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy
This drink is supposed to be “the best drink in existence.” However, apparently it’s like “having your brains smashed out with a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick.” Depending on the evening, I’d sign up for one of these.
Hook – Neverfood
Use your imagination! Oh, I adore this scene so much. How awesome would it be to have your imagined food become real life?!
BONUS
Eat Me, Drink Me Food – Alice in Wonderland
While I would eat these, it wouldn’t be for the purpose of enjoying something new and delicious in regards to taste. This would strictly just be to see how cool it would be to make myself bigger and smaller 🙂
So there you have it, my 5 favorites. Food is a universal way to bring people together and it’s fun to see how it’s used in fandom, too. I’m just glad some of the things that would’ve made me list, like Butterbeer, can actually be had in real life 🙂 I can’t wait to see what everyone else wishes they could eat or drink in real life.
What fictional food would you most love to eat?
I’d love anything from Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory, especially the gum that tastes like a three course meal – think of all the calories you’d save!! Not sure I want to try Chef’s salty balls though – hurhur!
OMG I totally forgot about the gum! Yes!
Great list! I’d totally go for some galactic cocktails.
Absolutely – I think I need to come up with a cocktail inspired from this 🙂
Oh, I am ALL about the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster! Hitchhiker’s Guide remains my favorite book in existence.
It was such a great book – I just read it recently and really enjoyed it.
Oh to go to Willy Wonka factory.
That would be my dream place to visit 🙂
I am dying at Chocolate Salty Balls. LOL
Hahaha…I couldn’t not include them LOL
Amazing choices! I have to agree with most, maybe not Slurm even though I love Futurama. I would have to say I would pick TV pizza, as much as I LOVE pizza and its like one of my favorite all time foods, cartoon pizza always looks SO good, esp on old school 90s TMNT….
Oh man…TMNT pizza always looked so cheesy and amazing 🙂
YES to Chocolate Factory and Neverfood!! My childhood dreams, haha.
Those were definitely my childhood dreams too 🙂
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Oh my gosh! Yes to all of these!
I now have the Chocolate Salty Balls song stuck in my head lol
Hahaha…you’re welcome 🙂
What person, let alone kid, wouldn’t want to taste test themselves through Wonka’s factory?! Snozberries?!? Giant gummy bears and chocolate lakes? Sign me up 🙂
No truer words have ever been written! I dreamt of that factory many, many times. I do totally want to know what a Snozberry tastes like 🙂
Yay Slurm!! Awesome list, I totally thought of including Chocolate Salty Balls too, haha!
Hahaha…no shame in the Chocolate Salty Balls 🙂
Yes so much to a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. I’ve had a few days where it’d be nice to unwind with a gold brick to the brain.
Absolutely feel you on that 🙂
