Food from movies is always that holy grail of food. We shall never know what Remy’s Ratatouille would have tasted like.
We can’t sample the glorious gobstopper from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Or any of the other inventions in fact.
Imagine a real world Wonka factory and the wonders inside. Those incredible flavours. The snozzberries that taste like snozzberries.
I’m just drooling at the thought.
With that said, it’s not just Charlie and the Chocolate Factory that makes me hungry. It’s many a movie intact. Even animations!
Let’s take a look at some glorious food from some glorious movies.
So whilst I stare down this microwave meal infront of me I highlight some food from movies that we’d absolutely love to try!
Hopefully it makes you as hungry as i’m feeling right now!
1. Dehydrated Pizza Hut Pizza
Back to the Future Part II introduced dehydrated Pizza Hut pizza to the world. Take a pizza, throw it in a special rehydration unit, wait two seconds and boom.
A full sized pizza.
Just like that. Ready to eat within 2 seconds. No standing by the oven staring at it urging it to cook faster. Instant pizza.
The warning label on the pizza says Do not consume unless ‘fully rehydrated’ meaning if you ate one before being rehydrated it would expand in your stomach and bust you open. Ouch.
2. Lembas Bread
An Elven secret, we are first made aware of this wonderful bread in The Lord of the Rings.
This bread stays fresh for months and is wrapped in mallorn leaves. The recipe is a closely guarded secret and evil creatures could not eat the bread.
I wonder what would happen if an orc was to eat the bread? Self combustion, Orc toilet mishaps? I don’t half wonder.
3. Cup O’Pizza
Steve Martin snacks on a Cup O’ Pizza in the movie The Jerk.
Why not eat pizza out of a cup. It just seems like the most logical thing ever. They’ve got Pot Noodles already, why don’t we step in and get this made!
How is this not a legitimate thing we can buy right now?!
4. Big Kahuna Burger
Quentin Tarantino invited absolute magic with this beautiful burger that has teased us for not just one but over five Tarantino movies (you tease).
To make matters worse the burger has its own website and the food looks even better! It’s just so damn evil.
I’m just damn hungry for a damn burger motherf**ker!
5. Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans
Whilst this particular snack is available to purchase it’s just not the same is it?
Not even slightly.
The magic of Bertie Botts is that they actually taste like what they’re supposed to taste like.
Sadly, the reproductions that are available to purchase taste absolutely awful no matter what flavour you have.
You tried. You failed. But at least you tried.
You can dive in completely blind and you just know they’re going to taste somewhat similar to earwax.
6. The Ole 96’er
Look away now Vegans! But not before you tell me how Vegan you are and why being Vegan is making you look away of course.
In the John Candy classic The Great Outdoors is the 96-ounce steak.
If you finished the steak you would eat for free! Don’t forget you have to eat the gristle and fat too!
Whilst there are many a food challenge out there it just doesn’t compete with this 96-ounce beauty.
7. Good Burger
Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger may we take your order?
Similar to the Kahuna Burger this could genuinely just be any old burger. But no you’d be wrong.
This is a movie burger, where we can think big, dream big and it’ll no doubt be the best damn burger you ever tasted.
A Good Burger, burger with Ed’s secret sauce. Every time I see this movie I just want to climb into the screen and take a bite!
8. Tony’s Spaghetti from Lady and the Tramp
It just looks so damn tasty doesn’t it?
There’s something about animated movies that make me even more hungrier when food appears.
It’s not even real and yet I still want to devour every pixel!
I did find an epic article thou from Buzzfeed that shows many animated dishes and how you can replicate them in the real world – HERE.
9. An American Pie
Here in the UK our pies kinda suck. Let’s be honest.
I want a good ol fashioned American Pie preferably before Jim uses it as foreplay practise!
As mentioned earlier in this article. Why does everything look so much better on-screen! Sigh..
10. White Castle Burgers
Another real-world food that you can buy. But certainly not here in the UK and I hate this little island for it!
The whole premise of the first Harold and Kumar movie was an adventure of epic proportions for these beautiful little burgers.
The scene at the end of the movie where they eat burger after burger makes me hungry every single time I see it.
An incredible film advertising some of these incredible little burgers.
Who’s with me in starting a petition for the UK to get White Castle burgers?!
Overall
Just writing this article has left me absolutely starving.
Crossing into TV beverage territory, If only I could wash all of this glorious food down with a Duff beer from The Simpsons or a Pawtucket Pale Ale from Family Guy.
We could party like rockstars with Butterbeer from Harry Potter or go out of our minds on Tantrum from How I Met Your Mother.
A Max Rager drink from iZombie could turn us into flesh eating zombies. Ok, that ones probably not the best idea in the world.
The fact remains that films have some of the tastiest food around. They lure us in with unobtainable goodies and leave us wanting more.
Even when it comes to food they’re teasing us!
