Food from TV and movies we wish we could try

Movies and TV can make you hungry. We'd love to try these fictional food items.

Ratatouille, 'Ratatouille'

Ratatouille, 'Ratatouille'
Ratatouille Pixar Animation Studios

Sure, ratatouille is an actual dish that you can find at some French restaurants. And yes, if you’re fine with doing a lot of chopping, you can make this dish at home. But wouldn’t you love to try the one that Linguine made with Remy, the rat puppeteering him?

Krabby Patty, 'SpongeBob SquarePants'

Few foods from animated shows are as iconic as the Krabby Patty from SpongeBob SquarePants. In real life, eating a burger underwater would be a nightmare. But in Bikini Bottom, it looks like a magical experience.

Scooby Snacks, 'Scooby-Doo'

Scooby Snacks, 'Scooby-Doo'
Scooby-Doo Hanna-Barbera Productions

Scooby-Doo goes absolutely feral over his Scooby Snacks. There’s got to be something delicious about them, right? Sure, they’re dog treats, but we’d like to be the judge of whether Scooby’s behavior regarding the snacks is warranted.

Hot Chocolate, 'The Polar Express'

Hot Chocolate, 'The Polar Express'
The Polar Express Castle Rock Entertainment/Warner Bros. Pictures

The hot chocolate from The Polar Express looks better than any other hot chocolate that’s ever been made in real life. And how fun would it be to have a cup of hot chocolate on Christmas Eve while riding a magical train to the North Pole? And to top it off, there’s a song that goes with it.

Butterbeer, 'Harry Potter'

Butterbeer, 'Harry Potter'
Harry Potter Warner Bros. Pictures

Okay, yes, you can try Butterbeer at the Harry Potter theme park. And sure, you can make your own at home. But it’s got to be better at Hogsmeade, right? That’s where we want to drink it.

Italian Beef, 'The Bear'

Italian Beef, 'The Bear'
The Bear FXP

Italian beef sandwiches have been made for much longer than The Bear has existed, but we want to have one made by Carmy Berzatto at his restaurant. Is that too much to ask?

Beignets, 'The Princess and the Frog'

Beignets, 'The Princess and the Frog'
The Princess and the Frog Walt Disney Animation Studios

We know the beignets that Tiana makes in The Princess and the Frog are better than any other beignets that have ever been made, but we just can’t prove it.

Turkish Delight, 'The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'

Turkish Delight, 'The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe Walt Disney Pictures

Turkish Delights are real treats that can even be made at home, but something about the ones that Edmund eats in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is so enticing. It just looks delectable.

The Moistmaker, 'Friends'

The Moistmaker, 'Friends'
Friends Bright/Kauffman/Crane Productions

The most relatable thing about Ross is his having a mental breakdown over someone eating his leftover Thanksgiving sandwich. The Moistmaker is an awful name for a food item, but the sandwich itself sounds great.

Roast Beast, 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas!'

Roast Beast, 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas!'
How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The Cat in the Hat Productions

Who Hash isn’t particularly enticing, but Roast Beast? Now that’s intriguing. We have no idea what Beast the Whos are roasting, but we would like to try.

Spaghetti and Meatballs, 'Lady and the Tramp'

Spaghetti and Meatballs, 'Lady and the Tramp'
Lady and the Tramp Walt Disney Productions

Has a plate of spaghetti and meatballs ever looked more delicious than the one from Lady and the Tramp? It’s a shame that no humans go to try some, though we are happy for the dogs.

Pizza, 'A Goofy Movie'

Pizza, 'A Goofy Movie'
A Goofy Movie Walt Disney Pictures

Pizza is good in real life, but it looks like literally the best food to ever exist in A Goofy Movie. The cheese pull? Unreal.

Spinach Puffs, 'The Emperor’s New Groove'

Spinach Puffs, 'The Emperor’s New Groove'
The Emperor’s New Groove Walt Disney Feature Animation

Kronk was cookin’ when he made those spinach puffs — literally. The steam coming from them was mouthwatering. Anyone inside the world of The Emperor’s New Groove who gets to eat those must be feasting.

Three Course Dinner Chewing Gum, 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'

Three Course Dinner Chewing Gum, 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Village Roadshow Pictures

Honestly, becoming a blueberry might be worth it to try the Three Course Dinner Chewing Gum that Willy Wonka invented. In the end, Violet Beauregarde did become much more flexible than she had been previously, so she fared pretty well.

Eat Me Cookies, 'Alice in Wonderland'

Eat Me Cookies, 'Alice in Wonderland'
Alice in Wonderland Walt Disney Productions

Who wouldn’t want to sink their teeth into one of those Eat Me cookies from Alice in Wonderland? They do fundamentally change your body's size, but there’s an easy fix to get back to your usual size.

Lembas Bread, 'The Lord of the Rings'

Lembas Bread, 'The Lord of the Rings'
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring WingNut Films

More than anything, trying Lembas bread would be fun to try just to see if it really is as filling as it’s made out to be. It sure would be an efficient way to eat for the day.

Kevin’s Famous Chili, 'The Office'

Kevin’s Famous Chili, 'The Office'
The Office Deedle-Dee Productions

Kevin makes his chili sound fantastic. And the parts that didn’t touch the floor looked great. Chili that stays in the pot is absolutely worth staying up all night for. Don’t forget to undercook the onions if you make it yourself.

Chocolate Cake, 'Matilda'

Chocolate Cake, 'Matilda'
Matilda TriStar Pictures

No, we don’t want to eat an entire chocolate cake like Bruce Bogtrotter was made to in Matilda. But he did enjoy the first slice. And let’s face it, that cake looked fantastic.

Marmalade, 'Paddington'

Marmalade, 'Paddington'
Paddington StudioCanal

Anyone with fruit could make marmalade, and there's plenty available to buy, but wouldn’t it be much better to have some that Paddington made? The marmalade on screen looks so much better than real marmalade.

Imaginary Dinner, 'Hook'

Imaginary Dinner, 'Hook'
Hook Amblin Entertainment

Everything that they ate as part of the Imaginary Dinner on Hook looked tasty, especially if you watched it as a kid. Many have tried to replicate the recipes, but nothing has looked as delicious as what Robin Williams had at his fingertips.
