The thought crossed my mind while watching the [commercial for Fruity Oaty Bars](http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2409249965471634315&q=firefly) (which _Serenity_ fans will recognize as the video that makes River Tam go and balletically kick the daylights out of a whole bunch of people in a bar) that they’re now my favorite fictional movie food, replacing _South Park_’s Cheesy Poofs. I recall there’s also a bunch of interesting foods in the _Harry Potter_ series, but I’m not sure I’d want to take my chances on some of them. So what are your favorite fictional foods? ---

I always wanted to try **Sugar-Crusted Xox** from the old **Ren and Stimpy** show. ---

Well, lembas is an obvious one. In one of the _Caves of Steel_ and _Robots of Dawn_ books, there is a kind shortbread/pancake thing filled with syrup that you eat naked because it is so messy. I wanted to try that since I read about it. ---

I’ve always wanted to curl up with a good book and a nice, big, steaming mug of _klah_ from the Pern books. ---

Okay, you’ve got your Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs cereal from Calvin & Hobbes. It’ll prime you for a full day’s television watching. There’s your Snicker Snax cereal from Peanuts. It does not stay crunchy in milk for very long, at all. Then, of course, we have the canned Food from Repo Man. It gets you ready to face the aliens. Feelin’ lucky seven, feelin’ Seven Up! ---

Nozz-a-La Cola from the Stephen King universe sounds pretty good. ---

The pasty crap in the TV trays in _2001: A Space Odyssey_ looked unnecessary. The Boomfood in HG Wells’ _Twilight of the Gods_ would have some uses, though. But I’d be happy with a Krusty Burger. ---

I don’t think I’d like Tasty Wheat very much (I hear it tastes like chicken.) However my fridge would be stocked with Duff Beer and Soder Cola. ---

Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. Shmoo. Braised trake, buttered ermal, and [funistrada](http://forums.egullet.org/index.php?showtopic=18340&mode=linearplus). Knichi.

Big Kahuna Burger, eh? That’s that Hawaiian burger joint! Well, my girlfriend’s a vegetarian, which pretty much means I’m a vegetarian too. But I sure do love a good burger. May I have a bite of your TASTY burger? ---

Also from South Park, I always thought Chef’s recipe for Chocolate Salty Balls sounded good. How can you go wrong with butter, sugar, chocolate and just a touch of vanilla? ---

Slurm. It’s addictive! Also, spice candy from the Dune books. ---

Oh, how could I forget Slurm? It’s highly addictive! Just don’t ask where it comes from. Then there’s Weenie Tots (with more beaks and claws) And Weenie Burgers! _Weenie Burgers are lots of fun to eat!_ _If you look real hard, you might even find the meat!_ ---
