Weekend Discussion Thread: Food

Alert reader Jay suggests:

Food. The Brains brought up food in many, many episodes. What is your favorite? For me it has to be Hamdingers. Not only were they Joel’s exit device, but they sound darn tasty! Too bad they aren’t around anymore.

I kinda like The Mads’ breakfast bazooka.

You?

    Well then…

    I almost bought some Chicken In A Biskit one time. Then I realized I should not be putting Chicken In A Biskit into my body. Maybe one day I will…

    I’ve had those before. Personal opinion, it’s not very good. Tastes like a bunch of stuff that shouldn’t be together.

    Okay, every episode seems to be covered, except for those appetizingly marketed cartons of ice cream from “Selling Wizard”.
    (Dish of ice cream?–Don’t tempt me!)

    And yes, I don’t know exactly what the flavor of Chick’n in a Biskit is meant to be, but it’s one of the few strange things you can eat that doesn’t taste like chicken.

    Corn Dodgers! I love ’em! Well I think I would…Uh what the hell is a Corn Dodger?

    For dessert I will treat myself to a big bowl of Monkey eats.

    Wild Rebels cereal actually looked pretty good. Sugary Linda’s, tasty oat-Rod’s. And, there’s a cheap stupid prize inside the box!

    One I always recall is from Teenagers from Outer Space when the “teen” Captain torcha first exits the spaceship and Joel riffs, “boy I sure could go for a hamburger sandwich and some french fried potatoes. I’m a teenager after all.” And of course, “Pancakes…oh I blew it.” Just watched A Touch of Satan last night, so “moldy olive loaf” is still in my mind.

    What’s in a Thruster Buster? Mmmmm… oven tempered meal food…. Honestly, I always wondered if they just made up the Splunky. it seems like some kind of smoothie, or maybe an icee of some kind, with different flavors.

    Trumpy and his buffett. Delicious kitty… This potato’s got big ears…

    Personally I prefer the “little wing-ed potatoes”.

    Also, Dinty Moore Beef Stew. Not only is it yummy, it has all that sodium for killing panty raiding sea monsters.

    In Phantom Planet they make much ado about the good and the beautiful, one representative pair being Tawny Kitaen and a plate of sauerbraten. We were perplexed by the descriptions of the dish (sauerbraten, not Ms. Kitaen) but if Mike and Servo thought it was both good and substantial…

    Hamlet –

    Our dark German rye bread MSTed version left out this line wherein Hamlet expounds on the eventual equality of us all:

    “A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a king, and eat of the fish that hath fed of that worm”

    How’s that for an epitaph, Folks?

    My college roommate made his own Hamdingers, without realizing that they were a real thing. So his were ham and cheese in puff pastry. Delicious.

    My favorite food running gag was how in Season 10, Crow became a master of dipping sauces. Try his peppercorn ranch!

    The massive steak, baked potato & peas in THE HOME ECONOMICS STORY looks delicious.
    But, as hospital food, maybe not so much.

    Yep: Brought back in niche markets, and our local street-store market always has a box, for those of the same age and memories. :)
    (For those who don’t, imagine a lighter Cap’n Crunch, with less resistance.)

    No online-order link, though, unless you’re looking for a bulk box of 12 at Sam’s Club.

    I’m surprised no one has mentioned fluffernutters yet!

    I never heard of them before MST3K, and was enlightened by MSTies on the old AOL forums. One even was kind enough to send my a jar of marshmallow fluff. A fluffernutter is the same as a PB&J, except you use marshmallow fluff instead of jelly. I liked it.

    Once upon a time, I’d have jumped at the chance for a bulk order of Quisp. Now…I’m seriously considering it.
