What's your character's favorite food? That is, assuming your character eats, of course. Does your character have any other strong food preferences or dislikes? Any dietary restrictions- religious, medical, personal, etc.? Are they in an economic or personal situation where food preferences and desires are something that actually matter, or is it a case of take-what-you-can-get with them? How do they approach food in general?

Bobby's favorite is Twinkies!

Rapunzel enjoys a variety, and probably wouldn't pick a favorite, though she does have a sweet tooth, at times.

KK's favorite is booze. Food is basically fuel to keep going.

Enzo is a teenager. If there is food, and it is digital, he will eat it. They mostly feed him irredeemably healthy stuff at the Academy, so he tends to go for kid favourites (binary burgers, piezoelectric pizza, macros 'n' cheese) and general junk in Milliways.

"Coconut cake! And coffee!!"

That being said, there's not much he won't eat be it groceries or drywall or Pleakley's face.

How does he approach food in general? With ENTHUSIASM.

There aren't any foods that Rukia actually dislikes, but according to both her character profiles*, her particular favorites are shiratama and cucumbers. No known dietary restrictions. As a member of one of Soul Society's great noble houses, she can eat what she likes and generally does. She approaches formal dinners like a proper yamato nadeshiko, field rations as a refueling, and typical high school meals like a typical high school student (albeit with some initial confusion confronting things like juice boxes).

Felix has a fondness for potatoes, especially baked potatoes. He hates mangoes, thanks to something I found on dA a while ago. He's not into very-sweet things, although he's willing to eat them in small amounts. I'm not sure how much of his food comes from foraging in the wild and how much from shopping when he goes to a town.

Kain... apparently loves devil's food cake. I didn't know that before.

Fluttershy likes simple foods, especially things that both she and the animals around her can eat - which mostly means salads. (For the record, she has tried birdseed. But it's not very satisfying to an adult equine.) When she's had an absolutely awful day, sometimes she likes to have a pear. But Ponyville is firmly Apple territory, so pears aren't available very often.

Favourite? Um. Grease. And carbs. Any combination therefore = favourite.

Bacon sarnies, for one. Or fried egg sarnies. Chips. Pies. Spaghetti hoops on toast. Garibaldi biscuits, pink wafers. A Curly-Wurly used to mix (five-sugar-strong) tea goes down a treat.

80s!Gene is seen eating pasta more than once; mainly, I think, because his favoured watering hole also happens to be an Italian resturant. So...carbs and fat then, basically.

Could never be accused of a vaired diet, Gene.

[the_gene_genie]

Oh, and to add - this was fairly normal in the 70s. Things came out of cans, and no one had ever heard of reduced sodium intakes, and the like.

He would like me to point out that he does eat veg too. Once a week, with his mother's Sunday roast. Parsnips roasted in honey are his favourite. And peas in butter. *pats him*

As to his attitude towards food - he likes it! But he doesn't eat constantly or anything. His very favourite food group happens to be called 'alcohol'.

[un_fantome]

Parsnips in honey are DELICIOUS, as are peas. Also, what are pink wafers? I can google everything else, but...well, it took be a while to figure out the spaghettios on toast deal. And/or why you'd want it.

Also I would adore threading with Gene whenever your schedule loosens up! :D He is wonderful.

[the_gene_genie]

Thank you! And hell yes to a thread. Next week! All being well, I intend to do nothing but play, and write fic. :)

http://www.ocado.com/webshop/product/Crawfords-Pink-Wafers/43322011 Pink wafers! They may look dodgy but believe me, they are actually fantastic. Mmm, yum. Now I want some. (And, wtf self? Totally forgotten how to hide a link behind text. Idk.)

Gene, and you, are right! Honey roasted parsnips are fabulous. I just laugh that his favourite veg also has to be cooked in sugar and/or fat. Bless him. *fond*

[un_fantome]

Eeee! Yay. And ohhh, yes, we call those sugar wafers here, and they are not pink but an ice-cream cone tan.

Gene is adorably silly in the way of vegetable preferences. <3

[cameoflage.livejournal.com]

We've got those kind of wafers in British Columbia, but they come in the same basic colour/flavour combinations as Neapolitan ice cream: chocolate, vanilla, and pink. (The vanilla ones are tan. White ones would be a bit disturbing.) "Sugar wafers" is likely the official name for them, but I just call 'em wafers. I haven't actually eaten them since I was like twelve and now I'm all nostalgic.

Claudia is partial to her mom's spaghetti recipe (my mom's spaghetti recipe in disguise - more meat and veg than your average store-bought sauce), when it's not making her choke up with unexpected grief. While she doesn't have quite the sweet tooth that Pete or Artie do, she does love a good sweet snack; my headcanon is that she and Pete have an ongoing 'I bought you [sweet snack typical of where this Artifact hunt was] but I eated it' not!feud going, after a while.

Cata and Sam both strike me as fans of stick-to-your-ribs type food, especially if there's an assignment to be had - you never know how long that might take, after all, and you can't really stop for a snack halfway through. Also, while Sam gets blindingly drunk at the beginning of the book, it's noted that that's pretty much exclusively because he's depressed; alcohol does bad things to one's concentration and steadiness of hand.

Will eats whatever he can, so the basic diet of the medieval era. A reason he adores Milliways is he can try new things and there are some foods here that he's grown to love; fish and chips, burgers and chocolate.

According to canon, Sameth's favorite meal is a basically cooked white fish with a rice or pilaf dish on the side. I think he has a sweet spot for some of the dishes that he had at school in Ancelsteirre which were just different enough to be nice.

William's diet is fairly basic as well. The treats he loves are rock candy and various sodas and Thalia's teaching him to really like things like burgers.

Moist's favorite treat is any kind of Uberwaldian pastry, which is of the sweet and doughy variety. Otherwise he likes quality and will happily eat what's presented.

Demeter tends to eat simply and very fresh mainly things from her own garden or local farmers in the area.

Tumnus is I think vegetarian, I need to check canon for that, but Narnian food is of the elegant and simple type.

The Pirate King loves sherry and otherwise I think eats whatever he feels like.

[a1enzo]

Pirate King: I can only assume his diet includes a great deal of fish and citrus.

Slayer's blood, but that's too easy, right?

He's got a nostalgic fondness for British pub food but really Spike can only taste strong flavors -- onion, garlic, strong cheese, chili peppers, citrus (he doesn't like it, but he can taste it), Marmite. Tiny marshmallows not withstanding, he's not much on sweets. He mostly eats for texture variety, hence his fondness for Weetabix and crispy fried things. Do not try to feed him oatmeal, even if it has blood in.

Basically you won't go far wrong if you order for Spike as if you grew up working class in London in 1970, are teething, and have a severe cold.

[cameoflage.livejournal.com]

Is that a vampire thing, or does he have fried tastebuds for some other reason? *not familiar with the finer points of Buffyverse vampires*

[stakebait.livejournal.com]

It's a vampire thing. it's also an I-made-it up thing. We never see most Buffyverse vamps eat anything but blood, though we know they can, because in addition to Spike we've seen a villain-of-the-week eating Jiffy pop. What Spike eats canonically is blooming onion, hot chocolate with marshmellows, Weetabix in his blood, and alcohol, but I doubt that's a complete list, just what they happened to show. As far as I know, there's no canonical position on what it tastes like or why they would bother (or what happens to it afterward if it's not digested, but hey, it's magic! Like why all their blood doesn't pool in their feet and they can get erections.)

I decided on my own that this was an explanation that would hang together and be consistent, but I certainly don't expect all other Buffyverse players to stick to it if they have their own ideas of how it works. Spike is used to being odd.

Mia has not said in canon what her favorite food is but I'm going with truffles. Or tea. She can't always help being a little rich girl. Not to mention Vane has truffles and other underground-type foods in abundance thanks to the Cave of Trial. Mia also has a definite love of seafood from Lann. She's convinced no one in the universe has better fish.

Food is actually part of the Mother 3 healing system. Certain characters like and dislike different foods, which makes the food healing items more or less effective. There's also a nausea battle status that prevents a character from eating healing items aside from fresh mints, which will cure the nausea. Being the protagonist of a Mother game, the player actually gets to pick what Lucas's favorite food is. But the default option is omelets. In comparison, Ninten of Mother/Earthbound Zero likes prime rib and Ness of Mother 2/Earthbound likes steak. Lucas also likes cheese, like his father Flint.

Tyler is at the age where he is willing to try anything once, and has only one real dislike, seeing as Bar likes teasing him every so often with canned escargot.

So far, what he eats is actually a pretty good barometer for his day. If he's ordering mac and cheeseburger and a ovaltine, it's been one of those. But usually you can find him with something he's tried from Bar when he eats in. Usually the tentacles in cream sauce, blue soup squash, or a big plate of paradoxes.

...if you went with a drink he'd have anytime, either world, it'd be the Mad Dog Smoothie. (random fruit, random ice cream, random soda, and ice inna blender with pop-rocks)

At home, what he eats is based on three things: if he can cook it himself, how much money he's got in his allowance, and if it'll take the place of two of the meals served at school. No one tries anything at breakfast, but there's lots of food fights come lunch or dinner in the cafeteria.

Clementine is canonically partial to chocolate chip cookies. She's a ravenous, happy eater.

Dixie is omnivorous in my head-canon, though she never says anything canonically about preferences.
