Example, cherry pie, roasted turkey, etc.

    「マンガ肉」 Manga meat illustration (from Wikipedia)

    This is what you would call “Manga Meat” in English, an iconic piece of meat on the bone that often appears in anime, manga, games, and other works in Japanese subculture.

    I would love to bite into this hearty meat like the cartoon characters someday.

    Boar and chicken like in Astérix. The way they can easily eat a chicken wing that have only a big bone in the middle always made me jealous.

            I thought it looked different.

            I think that the ones that they sold for the Simpsons movie promotion were repackaged bud light because that’s what it tasted like.

    I don’t think that I had anything like this from cartoons, but I had read about ginger beer in various childhood books long before I actually encountered it in the flesh and also Turkish delight from The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, which was also one that I didn’t encounter IRL until later.

    Ginger beer turned out to be a bit of a disappointment - not a patch on elderflower pressé, for example - but Turkish delight lived up to that passage, and I have thought about the book pretty much every time I have tasted it over the decades since.

      Root beer also turned out to be a disappointment.

      First time I went to the US at around 16 I found a vending machine with Root Beer. I thought that I found a way to rig the system and buy beer at 16 (like we do in Europe).

      Well nope, root beer is not beer…

    Not cartoons, but I always wanted to know what a snozzberry tastes like.

    Also any food that makes a smell that makes you float through the air, suspended by your nostrils.
