My Five Favorite Fictional Foods
While I'm huge fan of real food, there are some movie and TV foods that I'm just dying to try. Here are my top five favorite fictional foods in no particular order.
1. Dehydrated Pizza Hut Pizza (Back to the Future II)
If I had to pick a favorite for this list, dehydrated Pizza Hut pizza would be it. I've wanted a slice since 1989. Unfortunately I don't see how this could taste like the real thing unless it has dehydrated grease. Maybe that's a blessing in disguise. My main concern would be with pets. I worry that if they got hold of it before it's cooked, their stomachs would blow up. Another issue I have is with the rehydrator. It looks like it's designed only for flat things. What if you wanted dehydrated Boston Market? Is there a taller rehydrator?
2. Bachelor Chow (Futurama)
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?
3. Romulan Ale (Star Trek)
Who wouldn't want to get drunk on Romulan ale with Captain Kirk? Supposedly it wouldn't take much as it's considered to induce an "instant drunk". In fact, it's the only alcohol that Klingons are susceptible to. Knowing that, I'm not sure why the Romulans and the Klingons hate each other. Although embargoed by the Federation, Kirk was able to get his hands on it whenever convenient. It's the Cuban cigars of the 24th century. Read more about this magic nerd potion here.
4. Big Kahuna Burger (Tarantino movies)
A staple of Quentin Tarantino movies, Big Kahuna burgers are loved by almost everyone in that universe--everybody except Vincent Vega (Pulp Fiction). They're so well loved, that they even appear in non-Tarantino movies. The Easter Egg Archive has a list of those movies.
5. Krabby Patty (SpongeBob)
If you have kids or just like cartoons then you've probably seen a nasally-voiced sea sponge flip burgers day-in and day-out. According to Nickipedia, the Krabby Patty is made with a "bun, patty, cheese, ketchup, mustard, pickles, lettuce, onions, and top bun". The patty recipe is a closely-guarded secret, possibly because it might be made of crab.
Do you have a favorite fictional food? Let us know in the comments.

I might have missed "gakh" somewhere. Gakh is best served live.
Saturday Night Live had a cereal back when it was funny called "Colon Blow".
www.colonblow.com. It sure seems for real; they're even having a sale. And you can get T-shi(r)ts too. Check the slogan!

I've written a couple of posts on fictional brands in The Simpsons, heavily weighted (heh) toward the food-and-bev category. F'rinstance: Dr. Hippie's Fungus Yums, the Lobsterpolitan (what Homer gets when he asks Moe for "the fanciest drink you got"), and Pepsi B ("for export only"). More here:

I, for one, would like to sample some of those Frosted Sugar Bombs that Calvin indulges in every moring before being spirited away to a world of fantastical adventure.
Could the anthropomorphic Hobbes merely be a figment produced from a sugar OD, or perhaps something more insidious?

Filboid Studge - http://www.eastoftheweb.com/short-stories/UBooks/FilStu.shtml
"No one would have eaten Filboid Studge as a pleasure, but the grim austerity of its advertisement drove housewives in shoals to the grocers' shops to clamour for an immediate supply."

Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes used to eat Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs

I second butterbeer. It sounds so interesting! And the vending machine sandwich--I think we could all use some of those worms.
What about Crystal Gravy from SNL?

Cosa Nostra pizza. From the description, it'd delivered in the most bad-ass electric car ever built.
