Discussion What's a video game food item/dish you'd like to try in real life?

[meatbag]

Video games have featured a ton of food, whether it's haunches of meat inexplicably hiding behind castle walls, slightly irradiated bottles of cola, strange green life-granting mushrooms, or, well, just normal dishes you can find in normal restaurants.

The question is, is there any food featured in these games that you want to get a taste of?

Mine would be:

The stardrop from Stardew Valley, which apparently fills your mouth with the feel of your favorite things. Not foods, but things. So I imagine it would taste like mango, martial arts and anime, however that works out.

Now, how about you?

 

[Sheldon]

I want to eat everything cooked by a Felyne.

Those are the best chefs in the world. Or at least the best at making food that looks delicious.

 

[MissingNo.]

I just really wanna know what pixels taste like.

 

[Dardan Sandiego]

wallmeat from castlevania

look, I'm curious

 

[GPKs3]

Sweet, delicious lies.

 

[Famicrono]

Why it is rare? Is it particularly tasteful?

 

[Apenknul]

I wonder if the milk from the Moo Moo's taste different.

Also, I'd like to have the Big Smoke order, whatever the hell that may be.

Although I'm not really a seafood eater, I'd like to have some of these to try.

And at last I can think of:

Kirby's invincibility candy

Those meat platters they cook are positively mouthwatering! They even put on a show while preparing the food.

If it still restores hearts, can it really be that bad?

I have hidden a haunch of pork inside an unused brick oven for this very question! Not really

Why it is rare? Is it particularly tasteful?

Plus how would it work IRL. Like what would it feel like to "level up" in a split second.

Heck yeah, the Splatoon snacks look scrumptious.

 

[Leo]

Well my star drop fruit would taste like ice cream, so I might just as well have ice cream

 

[ziggyrivers]

Why it is rare? Is it particularly tasteful?

It’s rare because it’s raw sugar (very sweet)

 

[BlackthornOrion]

My first thought is that I bet the Maxim Tomato from Kirby is delicious; heck, all the random food pickups in that series look like they'd taste great

 

[Bulborb]

 

[Bulborb]

Also the potions from Windwaker

 

[meatbag]

Also the potions from Windwaker

There was a potion that was basically soup, yeah? Visually looks like chicken (Cucco?) soup with some chopped spring onions on top.

Great shout out, I bet that would be supremely succulent! It'll hydrate you in one go!

 

[oomoepoo]

Enigma berry. Or really any of the berries in Pokémon.

 

[rickyson33]

I want to eat all the Pokemon

Not sure if it was also in WW but in Twilight Princess, you can get literally soup as a potion from the ice dungeon

all the berrys in pokemon look delicious lol

Plus, Poffins! Which I know should be for Pokemon but aren't you a little curious about em

I want to eat all the Pokemon

No, not like this D:

 

[oomoepoo]

Plus, Poffins! Which I know should be for Pokemon but aren't you a little curious about em

They do look tasty
Also in the anime they're enjoyed by both Pokémon and humans, so there's that.

I want to eat all the Pokemon

Slowpoke tail

 

[jirou]

Yoshinoya from Like a Dragon, wish beef and rice were real

 

[PixelKnight]

All the big plates of food in older Monster Hunter games. They just look amazing

 

[Felony]

Probably that pizza jpeg from Pikmin. I had a take and bake this week and it didn't slap.

I'd also eat a tentacool out of spite.

 

[rickyson33]

one infinite sandwich please

 

[Mekanos]

 

[meatbag]

Yoshinoya from Like a Dragon, wish beef and rice were real

If only

All the big plates of food in older Monster Hunter games. They just look amazing

Ugh, yes. Absolutely would pig out on those platters.

I'd also eat a tentacool out of spite.

Please don't, they're poisonous

one infinite sandwich please

Lololol

 

[Revolsin]

castlevania wall chicken

what's actually in it that's giving you health, huh simon? is it the rot from being in a random wall for ? days, is it the cogs and bugs it's collected? we have to know the secret man

 

[Revolsin]

Why it is rare? Is it particularly tasteful?

my canon is on humans it just makes your body a year older each time you eat one

imagine eating like 60 to see what'd happen and your evolution is an old man

 

[BassForever]

I want to try Mutton Fresh Mutton from Tales of Xillia.

 

[Roccoco]

All of the cafe food in Disney Magical World

Also everything from Pokemon Cafe Remix

 

[scamander]

 

[Irene]

If there’s vegan options for them, basically all Harvestella cakes.

 

[JazzyFuture]

Do drinks count? Because the Doom health vials would be that, I gotta know what 1% of health that goes above the 100% limit tastes like.

If we're only talking food, anything from BotW/TotK, cause that Link seems like (usually) a great cook. He reintroduces pizza to Hyrule!

 

[meatbag]

basically all Harvestella cakes

That is delightful looking. What is it supposed to be made of? Literal roses?

I was wondering when this would show up lol

Humans are just boring types of Pokemon I guess...

what's actually in it that's giving you health, huh simon?

It's all the monster fluids that have seeped into the stone

Do drinks count? Because the Doom health vials would be that, I gotta know what 1% of health that goes above the 100% limit tastes like

Sure, they count! Not sure what's in them, but as long as you can drink 'em!

you could put chicken in your wall in real life and find out

it's the asbestos that really give it that sizzle, I bet

 

[Metroid]

I want to drink the drink from an Estus Flask.

 

[Sin & Punishment]

I think gysahl greens would go nice in a stir fry

 

[scamander]

Looks like slices of peach to me, though I'm not sure.^^

I was wondering when this would show up lol

I was surprised to be the first to be honest. xD

 

[MP!]

Dragon head and mega bagel

I need maxed health and stamina

 

[meatbag]

I think gysahl greens would go nice in a stir fry

Would pair up great with Chocobo... hehehe

I want to drink the drink from an Estus Flask.

Isn't Estus basically the flame from the bonfire? So it's probably going to be scorching for the mouth, to put it lightly.

 

[MaskedRider]

The pacman dots. They gotta be good if he’s eating that much.

Doesn't Pacman lore essentially state that the dots are pills that Pacman has to take to ward off the ghosts that manifested from his traumatized psyche?

 

[Cheddarchet]

No love for Tayce T. or Zess T.? The Paper Mario remake is so close!

Anyway: I'd definitely try the Jelly Ultra. I just want to know what it feels like:

And then maybe a Whacka Bump. It doesn't actually look good, but I beat the poor guy up often enough...

 

[meatbag]

I dunno, it might basically be a meatball

 

[Cheddarchet]

I'd swear I read somewhere that it was a sort of pastry. Not sure how that works since it just pops out of his head, but I do like pastries.

So Whackas are made of flour? Weird!

I may or may not be making a game where you can eat the rare candy equivalent
