The synthetic food from the Lorax. Always looked like giant delicious gummies to me.

「マンガ肉」

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.

Green eggs and ham, and the chocolate cake from Matilda.

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.

Scooby Snacks.

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.

Anything from Ratatouille, especially the ratatouille.

Those giant ribs from the Flintstones that curl into a big C.

The pizza from A Goofy Movie

How has no one said krabby Patty

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.

Not a cartoon but close enough!

The boars they feast on at the end of every Asterix comic.
