What do police/fbi/detectives eat in tv shows?

[IHopeYouStepOnALegPiece]

Have the coffee and doughnuts and Chinese out of take away containers but anything else I’m missing?

(police themed bday party btw not general musings 😂)

Pizza
Apple pie

In Law&Order SVU they spend a lot of time seated at the bar drinking scotch.

This might not get you good host points if it’s a party for 8-year-old, though.

Big pretzels?

Lamb madras in line of duty!

Burritos
Hot Dogs
Whisky

Apple juice in posh glass whiskey decanters pretending it is whiskey.

deli sandwiches

Columbo always ate chilli!

In real life it's Subway, kebabs and pizza

Barnaby liked a full english in Midsummer Murders.

Oh amazing ideas

Oh whisky! There’s always a bottle of scotch floating around isn’t there

Its an adult party so whisky fully allowed 😂

Usually in a hip flask…for a quick tot or to splash on a bullet wound.

It's always Chinese

Columbo also ate hard boiled eggs.

In one show they were always slurping milkshakes and then throwing them dramatically on the hood of cars when they got a call to speed off.

In reality

Fuck all

In shows - actual food . Doesn't happen

I’ve just been rewatching the early series of Shetland, and when they eat at the police station, it appears to be Unspecified Takeaway in foil containers.

So serve anything in the foil containers.
