The videogame world has always tried to reproduce (in its own way) what happens in everyday reality: it is no coincidence that many of us will remember a young person Dante Alighieri in devil may cry who calls a pizzeria to have his favorite dish delivered; Well, food has always been an element that somehow brings us and our heroes closer. However, it is possible to reproduce certain dishes seen in our favorite video games or is it really all fruit of the imagination of game designers and programmers? Let's find out together in this mega list of foods you may also want to prepare!
Mulberry Seafood Salad - Odin Sphere Leifthrasir
Not everyone likes vegetables but the chefs of Odin Sphere Leifthrasir have an innate creativity: in fact, while laying a fluffy fresh salad on a plate, they are covered with seafood such as octopus, shrimps, mussels, clams and seasoned the all with thinly sliced carrots and lemon. The result is a tasty dish that refreshes in the summer and makes the vegetable experience much more enjoyable.
Burrito - Overcoocked
Typical, big and tremendously good (or we could say bonito!). A burrito is typical of Tex-Mex cuisine and it is nothing more than a tortilla (the one that is also used for kebabs, you know?) stuffed, usually with beef and vegetables, but no one places limits on this filling: there are even those who stuff it entirely with vegetables and makes the dish vegan. Typically it can contain pork, red beans and chilli - a real delicacy both in the video game and in reality!
Mutton stew - The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Hunting is hard work; Our Geralt of Rivia knows very well, who in the three video games dedicated to him has had to eliminate many prey ... but when he sits at the table, the Witcher certainly does not mind compromises. Mutton stew remains a typical dish of American cuisine. To prepare it properly you need different ingredients such as onions, bay leaf, extra virgin olive oil and of course mutton. It takes about four hours from the start to the final dish: good appetite!
Meat Stuffed Pumpkins - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Simple and with an irresistible taste also for Link who in the splendid video game The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (of which you can also read our review) finds a way to make even simple zucchini appetizing. Being a dish that is filled with another condiment, Basically this dish can also be prepared by those who prefer vegetarian cuisine, since by filling the zucchini with vegetables it is in fact possible to eat a dish without meat but just as tasty. The preparation varies from thirty to forty minutes while with just over 40 minutes you will have cooked your dish. Sure, Link takes a lot less time but he is a “magic” chef.
Kaiser's Turkey - Monster Hunter: World
Complicated dish, for true connoisseurs and really tasty: the kaiser stuffed turkey is typical of American cuisine, not surprisingly they cook it for Thanksgiving, their national holiday. The Palico from Monster Hunter: World show us how very grown cats are able to prepare this delicacy (as well as helping us in battle). Put your heart in peace: to prepare this dish, valid for at least ten people, you need a lot of ingredients and a lot of patience: you are faced with a challenge of about four hours, three of which for cooking!
Gysahl Vegetable Smoothie - Final Fantasy XV
Final Fantasy XV is overflowing with recipes, it was a difficult task to choose one! The choice fell on a dish typical of that world but which is not exactly easy to reproduce in ours because in fact, Gysahl does not exist. Well, we can tell you that the smoothie goes very well with lettuce although this is tasteless; someone could do it with spinach and serve with cream and fresh mint. It is an ambiguous dish for us but it doesn't hurt to try!
Refined Stew - Super Mario Odyssey
Playing Super Mario Odyssey makes you hungry and believe it or not, Vulcan chefs prefer vegetables to meat: Bowser in the game steals this dish whenever he can, for us it is enough to stock up on vegetables, cut them into cubes and put them in broth, guernendo with cheese to taste: a real treat.
Sea Salt Ice Cream - Kingdom Hearts
In the world of fantasy, eating salty ice cream may be unusual for us but it's not as absurd as you might think. Not surprisingly, many ice cream shops offer flavors such as peanut or salted caramel among their selections; well, if you want to test an ice cream similar to the one that appears in the Kingdom Hearts video games, we advise you to try one of the aforementioned flavors: it will not be like tasting the sea salt from which it takes its name but it will give you an idea of what the our heroes.
Nuka Cola - Fallout
Yes, you could object that it is not a recipe to be prepared at home (and you would be absolutely right) but how could we exclude the most famous and recurring drink in Fallout video games? Think that you don't even have to prepare it and you won't suffer the negative effects of radiation with this version of Nuka-Cola. There are several versions that can be purchased on the web but we are sure that even if you buy it, you probably won't open it so as not to ruin the effect of having an intact bottle!
For the moment our list of foods ends here, obviously there are many others that you could try and find in the different video games, write us your favorites in the comments!
