As an aficionado of what the legendary Jim Ross calls “good Oklahoma barbeque”, I’ve always been a little bit jealous of Fred Flintstone at the drive-in in the original credits sequence of ‘The Flintstones.’ Sure, I’d never survive eating that much meat, and I imagine it might not get done all the way through, but the idea of bronto ribs as big as your foot-powered car is a compelling one nonetheless. Heck, I might even wash it down with a big bottle of Gingold, allowing my stomach and digestive tract to elasticize and expand enough to handle such a barrage of red meat. Of course, it might also be interesting to see what flavor that blue Tattooine milk is (I’m betting clams and tobacco), which leads us today’s nutritionally-insignificant query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) advises that you stay away from the Soylent Green, it tastes it might be on its last legs (Wakka Wakka!), asking: What fictional food or drink would you most like to sample?

I wouldn’t mind trying out the Maestro beer from Mission Hill. Might not taste anything special, but it’s that or Slurm, and the knowledge of how that’s made is a big no.
I want to find out what Shawarma tastes like. Its not even fictional but it counts in my book.
I gotta go with a modern classic, the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. “like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon, wrapped ’round a large gold brick.” Just sounds awesome.
The drinking equivalent of a mugging: expensive and bad for the head.
There are dozens of recipes online for Earth versions. I’m going to attempt most of them at my friends’ wedding at the end of June.
Awesome! I’ve had a hard time finding a version I like..
Not meant to be ironic or snarky, but I would be curious to sample any of the Soylent wafers.
Since Red and Yellow are made of plankton/algae, I wouldn’t be breaking any dietary mores. Green, on the other hand . . .
Lembas and magical Turkish delight.
Oh, but you’ve already tasted the magical Turkish delight…
The gum from Willy Wonka. A full meal in a price of gum. Might want to skip dessert though.
Violet! You’re turning violet, Violet!!
Roast Beast, of Whoville fame.
Every drink for sale at the Mos Eeisly Cantina
But they’ll all have awful names like Wad-kaa Sower or Dac Eela Sonreyes.
You’re thinking of the aliens. The drink names are usually a little more like what you’d see in a normal bar.

I’ve always wanted to try Teir’dal Blood Wine (from the EverQuest franchise)

and Membrosia (from Star Wars EU)
