Five Favorite Fictional Foods

By John Farrier in Food & Drink on Jul 14, 2008 at 8:09 pm

Bachelor ChowSpanno at Al Dente lists his five favorite foods from movies and TV that he’d like to try someday.  I agree that Futurama‘s Bachelor Chow always seemed like a good idea.

The sheer simplicity of Bachelor Chow has had me curious for a bite since Futurama started. What bachelor wouldn’t want a meal in a can? It’s like dog food for people. It’s genius! Sure you could get the same thing from a microwave dinner, but who has four minutes to heat that up?

    There is a meal in a can, it’s called Campbell’s Select Chef Inspired Soup. No water needed, pop the top and dig in with your Zing spoon!!

    Ah yes, I’ve always wondered what a Big Kahuna Burger would be like, although…I’ve heard they’re tasty, but best washed down with a Sprite.

    Here’s the fictional foods list I’d be down for trying out:

    1) Brahmin Burgers (from Fallout 1, 2, & 3 [I hope!]) – Sure to be twice as tasty as Buffalo burgers, right?

    2) Melange aka “Spice” (From Dune) – If you have some you can bridge space and time. You can see in to forevah!

    3) White Flower (from Super Mario Brothers) – You can spit fireballs afterwards… and they bounce!

    4) Blue Milk (from Star Wars) – I’ve always been curious as to how good it tastes. A part of me believes it is exactly the same as the after-milk from Boo-Berry cereal.

    5) Powerthirst (from CollegeHumor) – I’m intrigued by a drink which claims I can win at Sports, Art, and Arson, and have 400 babies that run like Kenyans. More importantly I wonder what an additive of Anna Kournikova will do to a person.

    6) Celestial Wine (from Exalted, the RPG by White Wolf Games) – One sip and you live for 500 years, drink a bottle and you gain immortality, a great buzz, and absolutely NO hangover afterward.

    7) The Peaches from the Peach tree of Wisdom (from Kung Fu Panda) – I have to admit that seeing them made me wonder if peaches from the tree of wisdom are juicier than those from a normal tree.

    Mmmm…Burger. I was also tempted to figure out where I could get a Kahuna Burger. Just the way Samuel Jackson was eating it and exclaiming how yummy it was drove me up the wall as I had no money to go out and get a burger for myself.

    This is still pretty good though. I want me some Romulan Ale.

    One of the commenters on that site brought up crottled greeps from The Gripping Hand, which I’d like to see and maybe try. Also, smoked gribble-grubs and Bacchus brandy from the Retief books by Keith Laumer.

    Bachelor Chow: It’s called cereal.

    So cat food is crazy homeless lady chow… dog food is Bachelor chow. Interesting.

    Wouldn’t Bachelor Chow just be frozen burritos?

    I bet a russian can have a Romulan ale without getting drunk.

    I think pumpkin pasties from Harry Potter are delicious, and Hasperat from Star Trek looked good, kinda like a burrito.

    The website http://www.geekychef.com has a lot of fictional food recipes.
