What's your fictional food?

[JellySlice]

Something that you read about in a book, that doesn't exist in real life - only it does, for you.

For me it's klah, from Anne Mcaffrey's Dragonrider books. Klah in real life is strong, hot rooibos tea.

Also the chocolate cake that Bruce Bogtrotter eats in Matilda. That's my mum's special chocolate cake mmmmmmm. Though Costco chocolate cake comes a very close second.

What's yours?

Butterbeer, not Universal Orlando butterbeer but proper Butterbeer.

Or maybe the breakfasts and picnics from The Famous Five books, they always sounded amazing!

Oh yes, nottheduchess Famous Five teas "everything always tastes better in the open air"

So, what real life food is your butterbeer?

That tableful at the end of Mr Gumpy’s Outing.

Or the freshly caught fish, cooked over the fire in one of the Chronicles of Narnia.

Or jam and jelly and bread - they’re the best of foods for me!

Jam Dhani Hash (Gavin &Stacey).

Duck it is Gav, with honey. And limes. Immense.

Minty fudge grass that grows next to the chocolate whisking waterfall in Charlie & Choc Factory.

Nooooo you don't get it!

Your fictional food is something that does not exist in Real Life, like Klah, or butterbeer, or frobscottle, or snozcumbers, but you have found something that reminds you of it.

Every time I eat a cucumber that's partly frozen (fridge issues) I tell DD we are having snozcumber in our sandwiches 😂 I have the same thought when eating mushy courgette middles or overcooked Marrow.

I have had Bruce bog trotter cake in a cafe once. I almost couldn't eat it, the biggest slice of cake you've ever seen in your life 😂

I always imagine butter beer would taste like a cross between fizzy ginger beer and clotted cream fudge and think I found the essence of it when eating gin and ginger infused clotted cream fudge the other day. It was nommy...

Every time I use margarine I think about poor miss honey (Matilda) in her run down cottage with no money
Butter is definitely better!

There are more I'm sure...

Dwarf bread.

And sausageinabun.

I know not what you intended, OP, but the fictional food I have always wanted to try are the honey cakes from Enid Blyton’s magical faraway tree.

The aptly named Piemur's favourite Bubbly Pies from Anne Mcaffrey's Dragonrider books.

Boiling hot blueberry pies is the closest I've got IRL.

And not to taste but to make, numbweed, the magical salve that heals the dragons' injuries.

Urgh yes - previously frozen cucumbers are definitely snozcumbers, especially if they've started going off.

No it's because the settings wrong on the fridge it part freezes things definitely not going off often bought the day before just mushy in the middle 😢
