FotR and Sausages! (...or Movies and Food)

[Mark]

I was recently watching the extended version (oh, so much better than the theatrical release) of FotR and got a huge craving for sausages! Couldn't help myself, and fortunately the local market had a sale going (Eckrich Smoked Sausage 1 lb = $1.99) so I picked some up. I've had them before, mind you, but these are some of the tastiest links I have ever consumed! Do movies do this to other people, or is it just me (again)?

It's just you.

Well actually if I'm watching movies at home I tend to get quite peckish. However going to a movie theater I rarely eat anything.

I like to eat the food that people are eating in the movie. It makes it seem more real...




...especially those human brain-eating zombie movies....

Cool. I often get weird cravings as well. I was watching The Princess Bride recently and had a massive craving for tacos. Unfortunately I wait until the next day to get some....

Eh... can't say that movies kindle such cravings.

That said, I often get strong lusts for many kinds of food when
watching stuff, TV or video or cinema or whatever. But seeing that
I also get similar wants when reading, working on the computer
or spending quality time with my girlfriend (much to here dismay).

In other words, I get weird ideas into my head (often concerning
some kind of food) all the time, whatever I'm doing, it's not just
while watching movies.

Nope, don't have a craving for sausage when watching that movie.

I've had a craving for M&M and Doritos Salsa chips.

I'm a woman, so I always get cravings. I can't remember any movies invoking particular cravings, but cooking infomercials and food commercials do. I've also been known to get hungry when people in books are talking about food alot.

Some food/film associations I have:

Matrix - Anything microwaveable. It's like science you can eat! Or, if you are all out of taquitos or pizza rolls, how about some Tasty Wheat?

Lord of the Rings - Meat you can eat without utensils. Sausage, drumsticks, anything you can wave around like some bloated medieval monarch. Strong beer is a must, as well.

Star Wars - Stew. Those are very stew-intensive films. Aunt Beru's making one, so's Yoda. What do they know that you don't? Stew: It does a Jedi good.

Kevin Smith movies - Chocolate-covered pretzels. 'Nuff said.

Mafia movies/Sopranos - Pizza. Preferably folded. And not with chicken or pineapple or any other California froo-froo ingredients on it.

In fact, I've got a craving right now for tacos...

"The Tacomart's got a deal on tacos, 100 tacos for $100"
