There are fourth dimension when nothing looks good in the fridge . There are even times when nothing looks good in the store , or on the menu . now and again – at least for the fortunate people who live in the ‘ obesity is a problem ’ state – all intellectual nourishment looks boring and routine ; like it ’s been swear out to you a million clock time before . It ’s then that you could turn to fable . Scifi and phantasy is peppered with delicious and foreign beauty to stimulate the taste buds , delight the palate , and probably confound the broken gut . Here are a list of ten scifi and fantasy nutrient that I ’d be intimate to try .
10 . Klingon food for thought
Klingons are the warfare - like people in Star Trek , and their food reflects that . lawful , I would n’t really like to eat gagh , which is served live , or slimy lingua balls , which do n’t really require an account . However , it would make return to human food – after the puking – passing welcome .
9 . The Spice Melange
The spice must course . It ’s a essential in the Dune creation , and operatic power struggles play out across the galaxy to control it . It wrick citizenry ’s eye an early - technicolor shade of wild blue yonder , makes all kinds of freaky things happen with human anatomy , and supposedly increase awareness , wiseness , and mental ability . More importantly , it take care like it would be incredible in a paella .
8 . Lembas
This is elf nutrient in The Lord of the Rings existence , and like everything else about the pixie it ’s perfect . It sample delicious , is fill , is nourishing , and keeps everlastingly . The only guy rope who does n’t like it is Gollum , so it ’s not just a nutrient , it ’s a delicious test of character . It should be served on first dates .
7 . Fry ’s Worm Egg Salad Sandwich
This is more of a self - improvement exercise than a food – but at least it ’s a extremely effectual one . This sandwich , bought in the bathroom of a infinite gas place , hold parasites that tone the muscle , meliorate the mind , and make mortal injuries into mere annoyance . All that , and it has tomatoes .
6 . The Pan - Galactic Gargleblaster
This drink is described in The Hitchhiker ’s Guide to the Galaxy is like , “ having your brains smash in with a slice of lemon wrapped around a big gold brick . ” It was devise by the President of the Galaxy and include things like MegaGin , Hypermint , and the tooth of an Algolan Suntiger . I do n’t even drink , but that sounds full .
5 . The White Witch ’s Turkish Delight
The Narnia chronicle dispense with The White Witch middling soon , but not before they break that she makes turkish pleasure skilful enough to enslave someone . She ’s a witch in the can elbow room , but an angel in the kitchen .
4 . Evil Ted ’s Special Cookies
One instalment of Buffy the Vampire Slayer featured John Ritter as Ted , a salesman so immediately and intensely creepy-crawly that every viewer pegged him as evil the second they interpret him . And yet he gained the passion of a beautiful woman , and the trust of Buffy ’s friends . How ? Through specially made – and drugged – cookies . They were show up to be irresistably delicious and put everyone in a serene and felicitous mood the moment that they ate them . for sure , the guy turned out to be an evil robot , but distinctly he love a affair or two about baking .
3 . Spice Weasel Spice
Futurama construct its 2d appearance . This is what bechance when a science fable show features a fame chef . Whenever something goes ill-timed with a dish , Elzar , the star of a cooking show and the owner of a particularly expensive restaurant , give it ‘ a blast from the Spice Weasel . ’ If we had those now , we ’d never deflower another dish .
2 . Ameglian Major moo-cow
And The Hitchhiker ’s Guide serial defecate it 2nd appearance as well . That is what happens when you have an entire book name after a restaurant . Sometime in the future , people resolve that it was a existent drag to herd and toss off unwilling animal . rather of switching to vegetables – many of whome were unwilling as well – they decided to spawn willing animals . Not only that , they decided to breed animals who were able to say how willing they were , and to describe their various cuts to multitude before they served themselves up . The Ameglian Major moo-cow was one of those animals . What zest up a meal better than a jot of the taboo ?
1 . Clone - Farmed Long Pig
For all out tabu , I would have to go to the world of Transmetropolitan . Transmetropolitan is a comic book series lay in a very uncomplimentary future . One of the many grocery assist up to the denizens of that succeeding hell is long Sus scrofa . Long grunter was , in realness , a term used for human meat in some cannibal cultures – since they thought human being tasted like porc . In Transmetropolitan , a certain farm clone humans without brains to serve as meat for the quietus of the world , and I would care to try it . Why ? Because I suppose Transmet painted an unflattering video , not an inaccurate one .
