An El Bulli rez!

Haven't really thought about it yet... Maybe The Pioneer Woman Cooks?

NOt gaining five lbs ;-)

I would seriously LOVE a Breville Elite juicer... this way I can start detoxing from all the "food porn" of '09!!! And a puppy with ear fringe ;P

A Le Creuset set!

@renzata - I'd like to try a krabby patty too...

...I'd DIE to try Ratatoullie's ...ratatoullie (it looks good!)

Scrumdidiliumptious bars. My sister and I have had discussions about the ingredients that would make up a scrumdidili... bar. We think it's gooey, crunchy, and chocolaty. My mom shared an idea, but we both knew that she simply just didn't get it. We have talked about what real chocolate bar comes closest. For not "getting" it, our mom once made something that came closer than any store-bought candy.

Speaking of the brilliance of Roald Dahl and food, at least from Willy Wonka (the original movie), the big bouncy balls that break open for chocolate. I've always wanted to bite into one of the teacups, but I imagine butterscotch and that doesn't appeal to me so much.

Also - Mystic Pizza, from the movie. Though I'm not sure it wasn't based on a real place. A small mom & pop pizza place in Connecticut that can win over a snooty critic with its mysterious ingredients... Yum!

You know for all the snozzcumber and Frobscottle fans, Roald Dahl published a book of recipes for all the different foods mentioned in his books. My favorite was the chocolate cake that the Trunchbull force fed Bruce Bogtrotter in Matilda. Once or twice a year (usually thanksgiving) we'll make the Matilda cake. But it's really rich.

I wonder if JK Rowling would ever make a Harry Potter cook book.

Oh, and Brontosaurus ribs from the Flintstones....Mmmmmm

@dead_brontes - Turkish delight was mentioned in the comments of the original HoustonPress article!
Turkish delight never lived up to my expectations. Maybe I've never had any 'good' ones? Ehhh...

really? I can't believe nobody's mentioned turkish delight from the lion, the witch and the wardrobe. none of that processed turkish delight that you get for $5 at Christmas, but the kind that was so good it made edward turn evil! Also, the green soup from Are you Afraid of the Dark--it was so delicious that people got addicted (it was made of the souls of people).
