What My Favorite Games Would Taste Like (Probably)

Please do not ask me to elaborate I genuinely have no idea

Really painfully mediocre granola bars and room temperature water
Canned chicken noodle soup warmed up over a campfire
War rations and MREs that somehow manage to be edible despite the passage of time
Blue Gatorade and dry roasted peanuts
Trail mix and a warm glass of milk
Burgers 'n fries!

I know Ness's favorite food is canonically steak, but the good old combo just feels more in line with how I feel about EarthBound I guess..? (I probably sound insane for this I'm sorry)
Prescription pills swallowed dry (it's exactly what you think it is)
Really gross undercooked seafood
Bar food. It might be little cheap and standard, but there's a certain indescribable comfort to it
Chicken, rice and an unhealthy amount of creatine. Gotta get those gains for Colossi climbing, right?
A vinaigrette salad with a lot of weird stuff mixed in that probably shouldn't work, but it surprisingly ends up tasting really good
Omelets! and like the most nasty fast food meal you can probably imagine...
Lo mein and pretzel bites from the mall food court (totally projecting)
An Italian charcuterie board, assorted with a plethora of rich meats and cheeses
Top Ramen and Hot Pockets
Black coffee and cigarettes
It's an all you can eat buffet with food from every time period, eating stuff from prehistoric times probably isn't advised though...
Soggy bread that probably has a few mold spots on it
Curry and a latte, but only as long as it's from your trendy local place
Pizza (obviously), New York style
Last night's leftovers and a bag of potato chips
Dew and Doritos

(I know this wasn't like, an actual thing in 2004 but it's so irrevocably tied to my perception of the series that it totally counts in retrospect)
I know it would be really boring of me to say pot roast, but like, you don't blame me right?
Do I even need to say it
Waffle House, but specifically when you're drunk and it's past midnight
The messiest, most glorious Philly Cheesesteak you can imagine
Piña coladas, provided the bartender actually knows how to make them
Chicken and dumplings complimented by a pitcher of ice cold lemonade
Mont Blanc, eaten as Mont Blanc
A giant wedding cake with fruit punch on the side
A cone of ice cream adorned with so much toppings it borders on being overkill
Home-baked cookies :)

Ico

Honeydew melon and fresh baked bread, ideally shared with friends
Garlic and wet grass, that sounds a lot less appetizing...
That sort of super generic takeout steak that you get in a paper box lathered with a bit of A1 sauce
Pockies and Fruit Gushers
A Snickers bar with razor blades hidden inside
I don't really want to leave it implied that you're going to be eating anything here, because you aren't.
Salmon Caesar salad with brief tinges of sea salt
Kebabs, specifically made by the protagonist showing off his Dad Skills on the grill
Every party member came together to make a stew, and it's probably totally inedible despite their best efforts

I would eat the Snickers bar with all the pleasure in the world, even though it would tear my entire digestive system apart.

Best list in the game, of the games

For me, Dark Souls one tasted like either a marshmellow that's been perfectly roasted over a fire, or a dry, but super delicious burger from your local gas station.

The latter might be because i ate a lot of those burgers while watching Dark Souls on youtube...

Super creative stuff. Bang-on choice for Disco Elysium

You say you sound insane but putting earthbound as burger and fries shows that you're actually cooking (heh)
