Bob Harris Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 OK, what you might not know is, I do a cooking blog with a friend of mine. Main part of the blog are videos, showing us preparing all kinds of food, while we make references to movies, tv-series, comics, etc., etc. You'd love it, I'm sure, but it's in German, so meh... boring! Now we'd love to do a section where we prepare food that is eaten in movies. Like the "Apfelstrudel" in Inglourious Basterds, "Spaghetti Speziale" from A Lady and the Tramp or "Coconut shrimps" in Forest Gump. Got it? We won't do anybody's liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti, since we, well, aren't big liver fans. I don't want the actual recipe, that's something we need to figure out, but I need food/menues from the movies!! So, any suggestions? It should be something to eat worth preparing (not just a BIg Kahuna Burger) and it should come from a good* movie. (We are considering re-acting the movie scene afterwards, but all of this is just a thought.) Danke!!! ____ *: whatever that means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punisher Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) Soylent Green? But in all seriousness, how about a meal from Jack Rabbit Slims? The 2-disc version I have of Pulp Fiction actually has a little menu insert. Edited June 24, 2010 by the punisher=D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Chilled monkey brains!?!?! I'm not sure how far you want to take it, but THIS is my all time favorite food scene in a movie! Whatta you mean, I'm funny? Funny how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battlecat Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Adam Sandler's chef character makes an awesome sandwich in Spanglish, it's kind of a BLT-plus. I made one the day after I saw the movie, it was pretty great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

battlecat Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) There's some French stuff in Ratatouille. Oh and Waitress is a great movie where you see the main character making a LOT of weird/tasty looking pies.

Ivan Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Not a complicated recipe, but I'm partial to the Twinkie Wiener Sandwich from U.H.F. (Whether the hot dogs are cooked or 'raw' is left up to chef's discretion.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I didn't see it, but Julie and Julia seems like it would have plenty for you to work with. Chocolat. I really enjoy making truffles and chococate covered toffee. Clemenza's red sauce in the Godfather. Close Encounters of the Third Kind- mashed potatoes Stand By Me- fruit pie. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom... yeah. It doesn't involve cooking, but Rocky Road ice cream and Baby Ruth bars from the Goonies. If you want to get really crazy with your food, look to Last Tango in Paris or 9 1/2 Weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Close Encounters of the Third Kind- mashed potatoes Good one! If you want to get really crazy with your food, look to Last Tango in Paris or 9 1/2 Weeks. Or. . .Pink Flamingos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 But in all seriousness, how about a meal from Jack Rabbit Slims? A $5 Shake? That's milk and ice-cream. And that's $5? That's a pretty f$*#ing good milkshake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 First off, I need a good spaghetti sauce recipie Bob, could you help me out here? I'd check your blog but I don't speak German. I speak english first language, Spanish second language. German is next if I have time to do it. OK, so, movie food. I would try some stuff from the Harry Potter films. I know they have Chocolate Frogs and Cauldron Cakes in novelty stores but perhaps something like... hmmm... Imitate the food seen at the first movie's Hogwarts feast maybe? If you haven't seen the new A-Team then see it now. Then make Murdoch's steak. You might be responsible for some poisoning but it would be funny as hell. Or you could just substitute and say it was Inspired By the A-Team. The Green Mile's last meal. And cornbread. Make some Asian food for Gran Torino. That egg thing V made in V for Vendetta. And that kinda exhausts me for now. I'll come back later if I think of anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Harris Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 Thanks a lot so far and keep 'em coming! I realy like the Jack Rabbit Slims idea, Pancakes from Fargo, Godfather sauce, Green Mile, Harry Potter, stuff like this. Cool! Indiana Jones etc. is a good laugh - so is bacon / Babe, thanks BHM - but nothing to work with. But still, keep 'em coming! And T42, I'll talk to you about a my favorite pasta sauce later.

MiniFiend UK Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 (edited) Ok bob which one is you in the videos. or do you just do the write ups? I'm guessing the superman T-shirt could be a clue? Edited June 25, 2010 by MiniFiend UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthRaider Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 We've gone this far into thread and not mentioned cannolis? For shame! I must say though, punisher, good call on the epic chocolate cake scene! I guess the Giant Peach from, er, James and the Giant Peach is worth mentioning as well, eh? Other interesting food stuff that might be of interest to you Bob (though I have famously weird taste in movies): Hummus (You Don't Mess With The Zohan) Hot Pockets (apparently they're the stereotypical "computer geek food" in a lot of Hollywood movies, so far I recall The Core and Sydney White. Stop laughing.) Chicken Pie (Chicken Run... ironic, I know.) a Mint Julep... or any heart-attack-inducing cheese-covered thing (Thank You For Smoking) any number of esoterically-named mixed alcoholic beverages (that old Tom Cruise movie Cocktails) And some slightly less relevant TV stuff: Pizza (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) "Who loves orange soda?" (Kenan and Kel, for you Nickelodeon fans.) Rabbit Stew (a small lifetime of Looney Tunes shorts) Fish sticks dipped in custard (obviously, Doctor Who. He also like bananas and hates pears.) "OMELETTE DU FROMAGE!" (Dexter's Laboratory) That egg thing V made in V for Vendetta. Stephen Fry's character called it "eggie in the basket" in the film. Not sure how much help that is. And if you're interested: http://nokitchenforoldmen.blogspot.com/ Heh, fun blog name. Though it suddenly reminded me of another funny movie food idea: I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!!!!

warbuny Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 "Good Burger Sauce" from Good Burger Movie? and in the movie "house arrest" wherein the kids mixed different junk foods like m&ms and in the end it looked like a big ball of chocolate to feed their parents.

Bob Harris Posted June 27, 2010 Author Share Posted June 27, 2010 Thanks a lot for all the input. You got some really cool ideas to work with. We'll see what we're going to do. And MiniFiend, you guessed right, I'm the one with the Superman shirt. (Isn't it awesome? If you got heat vision, you don't need a microwave!) And since you sadly don't understand anything, you might get on our oven, which is also a time machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
