Okay, let’s see if this works.
You detail a meal and everyone else must guess(try not to Google) what movie, or TV show, or book that meal appeared in. I say meal, because if it was just one kind of food, say, oranges, there might be too many answers. If a single item is really unusual, or not typical onscreen, you can name it though, and see if anyone guesses the particular source you were thinking of.
I’ll start.
Meatloaf, mashed potatoes and gravy, okra and cornbread.
Apparently you’ve stumped the panel, so I’ll try to keep the thread from dying by offering an alternative:
Trifle with a layer of meat
Sorry for the stumping, the meal I mentioned was what John Coffey asked for in The Green Mile, before his execution.
I’ll have to ponder yours now. It sounds familiar.
Friends?
I could give numerous examples from this show, but the one that springs to mind without Google is “Trout a la creme”. Clue:
[spoiler]“Fish!”
“Today’s fish is Trout a la creme. Enjoy your meal.”
[repeat x5]
“I will!”[/spoiler]
Oh I’m gonna die. I’ve been fished to death!
Red Dwarf!
Four fried chickens and a coke.
And some dry white toast, please.
*The Blues Brothers

Him: Douglas Sirk steak, bloody as hell, and a vanilla coke.
Her: Durwood Kirby burger, bloody, and a five-dollar shake - Martin and Lewis, not Amos and Andy.
Pulp Fiction
“Give me the meanest steak you got! Rare, and I mean rare! Just de-horn it, wipe its butt and send it in.”
Stumped? William H. Macy said the line.
Bagna cauda. (It’s a northern Italian hot oil dip, and the character said his father always made it for him on his birthday)
Two chicken a la reine with sauce provencale, a scampi desiree, and a boeuf bourguignone with a green salad.
Easy:
Lamb stew with dried plums.
Happy Texas?
I don’t have any guesses for the meals listed above, but here’s my own:
Shark’s fin soup and monkey brains.
Yer darn tootin’.
It’s a good movie. It’s one of those that if I run across it when it’s on I’ll stop what I’m doing to watch it. What’s his face first trying to teach the girls to dance cracks me up.
His name is Wayne Wayne Wayne.
Here’s another one: A live shrimp in a clear liquid that makes the shrimp squirm, in a small glass bowl, face down on a woman’s bare belly.
Here are some more:
Pork chops and applesauce.
A can of Canned Squid.
Snails and brains.
The only thing I can think of is The Brady Bunch.
