How often do you watch a movie and salivate when a tasty dish makes an appearance? How can you not?
Movies are magic. They can make even fast food chains look heavenly. It’s even better when a movie is surrounded by food or about it. Although we are excluding TV shows from this list, we do have some honorable mentions. For honorable TV mentions, we have the Krusty Krab Pizza, Krabby Patty, and Bob’s Burgers.
In this slideshow, we also didn’t mention any foods from Studio Ghibli. Truly, if we did, this list would be endless as the food scenes in the films are excellent!
Have you tried any of these dishes? Are there any other movie dishes we are missing? Click through the slideshow for famous movie dishes you can recreate at home.
Ratatouille
How tempted were you to make ratatouille when you saw the Pixar movie of the same name? Try it! Most online recipes state it takes about an hour and a half.
Trunchbull’s Chocolate Cake
While the chocolate cake scene in “Matilda” is hard to watch, how can you not want to try a bite of that chocolatey goodness? Trunchbull’s Chocolate Cake recipes are everywhere – minus the sweat and blood.
The Grey Stuff
Have you ever wondered what the gray stuff was in “Beauty and the Beast? The famous line in the song “Be Our Guest” was intriguing enough to get stuck in our heads. Well, the grey stuff is likely foie gras prepared as a mousse. However, in the Disney parks, the grey stuff is a cookies and cream dessert.
Beignets
“The Princess and the Frog” boosted people’s love and knowledge of beignets. It’s deliciously fried dough sprinkled with powdered or granulated sugar. Try it with some melted chocolate!
Spaghetti and Meatballs
To be fair, spaghetti and meatballs is a common dish in real life and films. However, in this case, we are referring to the dish eaten in “Lady & The Tramp.”
Hot Chocolate
Hot chocolate tastes good any time of the year, but especially near the Holidays. Who else watched the hot chocolate music scene in “The Polar Express” and immediately wanted this tasty drink?
Gumbo
“The Princess and the Frog” had a lot of delicious dishes, so it deserves another shout out. The gumbo she’s making in the beginning with her father looks so good! It’s another dish you can easily recreate at home.
Good Burger
Did you expect to see a burger on this list associated with a comedy movie? Well, online, there are recipes for the Good Burger special from “Good Burger.” It’s probably not too different from a regular burger, though.
Butterbeer
Sweet and smooth butterscotch beer sounds so good. Butterbeer is from the Harry Potter series and can be made from home! You can also purchase this inspired drink in some bars and Universal Studios.
Tofu Noodle Soup
What better excuse to make tofu or chicken noodle soup than watching “Kung Fu Panda?” This soup is too yummy to ignore.
Buddy The Elf’s Spaghetti
Breakfast spaghetti, anyone? If you’ve ever watched “Elf” and wanted Buddy’s special breakfast, this dish is for you! Countless recipes are online at your disposal.
Big Kahuna Burger
Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez are funny. Throughout their movies, they feature the Big Kahuna Burger chain (a fictional Hawaiian burger spot).
