Top Ten Tuesday was originally started by The Broke And The Bookish, where a topic is given every Tuesday and the blogger then produces a top ten list of books to fit the weekly subject. The topic this week is Top Ten Most Yummy Sounding Foods From Books. Even fictional characters have to eat, so I’ve compiled a list of foods I’ve come across in books that take my fancy (some of them might just be normal foods, but reading about them then has me craving them!)
Dauntless Cake (from the Divergent trilogy)
This was the first thing that came to mind when this topic came up. I think there’s a lot of us out there who wouldn’t mind trying a bit of that cake, it sounds like it would be chocolatey and gooey and luscious…
And now I want cake…!
Cauldron Cakes (from the Harry Potter series)
We don’t get much info on what these are like, but I imagine them to be soft, moist sponge cakes which come in a little cauldron that you can eat them out of, maybe you can get them filled with cream or jam… mmmmmm!
Chocolate Frogs (from the Harry Potter series)
There are so many magical foods in Harry Potter I couldn’t choose just one! I’ve had a Chocolate Frog from the studio tour, but of course, that’s just not the same as the real thing! (P.S. I got Dumbledore!)
Pumpkin Pasties (from the Harry Potter series)
Yeah, I really couldn’t decide what magical food I wanted to try! I’ve never tried pumpkin, but I love pasties, and I imagine them taste like butternut squash!
Yorkshire Pudding and Gravy (from Carry On)
I’m currently reading this, and reading about their meal times has me craving all sorts of things, but no one can resist a good Yorkshire pud!
Dragon Carrot Risotto (from The Fault in Our Stars)
Every time I read this or watch the film I absolutely crave risotto! I love this dish, but I have never tried dragon carrot (it looks purple?) It sounds absolutely delicious!
Turkish Delight (from The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe)
I think I’ve tried Turkish Delight before, and I didn’t reply enjoy it (and I don’t think I can actually eat it now) but it looks so visually appealing, so even if I know I don’t like it, I still want to eat it (does that make sense?)
Wonka Bars (from Charlie & the Chocolate Factory)
We used to sell these in the UK when the Johnny Depp version of the film was released and they were so yummy, but Wonka bars are no more and I am back to my dreams.
That’s all for today’s post, I hope your mouths are all watering and i’ve made youย sufficiently hungry enough to go and grab yourselves a snack! Next week’s Top Ten Tuesday is all about Unique Book Titles if you want to pop back, or even join in the list making fun!
PS. I’ve tried to link most of the images to their recipes if you want to try making any of them!
Until next time…

Pumpkin pasties sound so good, and so appropriate for autumn and Halloween! And the cauldron cakes look amazing. I wish I had the baking skills to pull them off!

I’d love to bake some of this stuff, especially the pasties! I have a week off coming up, so I might try them if I have time! I agree the cauldron cakes look great, but I’m the same, my baking skills are definitely not up to this ๐ thanks for commenting!

Anything that contains chocolate it’s a must. Turkish delight as well and they are even better with a nut or almond inside of them. It’s so good that there is such a delicious food in the books. Great post ๐

So, what is Yorkshire pudding exactly? I’ve heard it mentioned lots in books. My brother-in-law, who’s English, says it’s the only thing he can’t resist eating when he’s home for the holidays is the puddings. Must be good!
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

Yorkshire puddings are savoury, itโs cooked batter, I believe itโs similar to an American popover? You have it with a British roast dinner, they are very yummy ๐
