Seriously Geeky Sundays: Food
Seriously Geeky Sundays
Another Sunday, another set of prompts brought to us by Heather of Just Geeking By! This week’s prompts were spawned by today being both National Cherry Cobbler Day and National Walnut Day, along with a bunch of other National food “holidays” this week, so Heather decided it obviously had to be a food-related question week! Be sure to check out the rest of May’s prompts if you’re interested in joining, or start planning for June’s prompts!
Food
If you could have any fictional food item become reality, what would it be?
Probably some of the confectioneries that show up in the Harry potter novels. Probably the chocolate frogs, even though I have to be in the right mood for chocolates.
What is your favorite food moment/scene?
I don’t know that it’s my favorite, but one that always sticks with me is the scene where Edmund meets the White Witch for the first time in The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. But my favorite food movie would absolutely have to be Tortilla Soup.
What fictional restaurant would you like to visit?
The Double R Diner is absolutely my first choice. Need some of Norma’s cooking, after all. Especially her pie. Yeah, it’s a Twin Peaks thing.
What is the most decadent dessert you’ve seen in a fandom?
To be fair, I’m honestly not sure that I pay much attention to food in fandoms. So I can’t say a specific dessert has called to me. I guess I’m going to have to go with Norma’s pie as mentioned above, really.
What is the most disgusting food item you’ve seen?
Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Bean. I’m sure there’s grosser things, but the fact that people have tried to replicate them for jollies just absolutely grosses me out.
What is your favorite fandom-inspired recipe/food item?
Oh goodness, I’m not sure! I love seeing what various creatives come up with, and have even attempted some myself from WoW and Harry Potter.

They do actually make Chocolate Frogs, unfortunately they obviously don’t come to life and jump out of train windows, they’re pricey though

I’ve seen them before, but I would love to have actual ones that come to life! 😉

The chocolate frogs are great! I’m not sure if it’s actually amazing good quality chocolate or if it was like a “omg chocolate frogs! They’re really real!” Type deal 😂
I’d be Keen on some of the mage food and the stews from WoW haha. Do you play? I recently started again my ‘lock. 😊
Chestnut
I haven’t tried them, yet, but it might be a little of both columns? Haha.
I recently retired from WoW (again) due to life being hectic and not having the time. I’m sure I’ll wander back at some point, though! 🙂

I have to say some of the photos I’ve seen from the WoW cookbook do look amazing. There have been many times when I’ve come across a cooking recipe in-game and thought ‘ooh that sounds soo nice!’ (likewise, just as many have made me want to puke! Isn’t WoW wonderful? :P). I’ve not tried to make any myself yet though.

I’d love to get some fandom cookbooks to try out at some point! I do have a Star Trek one, which might be interesting to try some recipes from at some point! 🙂 Though, oh my gosh, why didn’t I think of gagh?!

I really would like the chocolate frogs come to life, when I actually got one I was expecting it to jump out the box and climb the wall. Haa… HP treats and food is a dream for me, although I’m not too fond over the gummi slugs LMAO
Chestnut
Yessss! I would love for the chocolate frogs to come to life!
