410154 Mon Jun 11 04:15:29 -0700 2007 238 33 Food Media and News 0 2648178 Need a hole bunch of dishes appearing in famous movies. Do you got any? The only thing is that it should be easy, homemaking-friendly dishes. All replies are welcome. Mon Jun 11 04:15:29 -0700 2007 104481 ph4nill4 1 2648314 Fried green tomatoes, of course. There's great temptation to mention the Timpano from Big Night, but that's special occasion food. Mon Jun 11 06:26:38 -0700 2007 2648178 10996 JK Grence the Cosmic Jester 2 2656377 Well, maybe not the Timpano, but certainly the omelet at the end. Wed Jun 13 11:07:07 -0700 2007 2648314 32586 revsharkie 3 2777218 Really? I always thought that was scrambled eggs. I must need to watch Big Night again! (said eagerly) I've always wanted to make a timpano, too, JK. IIRC there are some timpano recipes in my Bugialli cookbook that are far simpler than the one in the movie. I *think* it's that cookbook - could be wrong. Never made any, but damn, it would be fun! http://www.amazon.com/Fine-Italian-Cooking-Giuliano-Bugialli/dp/081291838X/ref=sr_1_10/102-3844637-9597733?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1185249950&sr=1-10 <-- FYI, looks like there's a new, revised version of this book as well. Mon Jul 23 21:08:56 -0700 2007 2656377 42513 Mawrter 4 2780857 My brother and I made timpano once. There was a recipe in the newspaper right after the movie came out--I probably still have it somewhere. We had 20 people over, and only managed to eat half of it (or did we make two... it was a long time ago). But I still remember how much we had left over, and how good it was. It was all we ate for days, of course. Wed Jul 25 04:51:41 -0700 2007 2777218 70866 Tartinet 2 2952814 "FRIED GREEN TOMATOES" Biscotti-encrusted fried green tomatoes with a goat cheese mousse, smoky-flavored corn salsa and a blackened poblano pepper and scallion-spiked cream. The tower of Southern/Mediterranean/Mexican ingredients melds into simple lip-smacking deliciousness. <GRIN> Tue Sep 18 12:19:39 -0700 2007 2648314 124137 JayVaBeach 3 2999253 biscotti? what kind? Wed Oct 03 05:40:54 -0700 2007 2952814 105717 alkapal 4 3010730 Plain & classic biscotti - sugar, anise & coarsely chopped nuts. Sat Oct 06 12:07:39 -0700 2007 2999253 124137 JayVaBeach 1 2648322 Clemenza's red sauce recipe, his quick plate of pasta while his victim-to-be waits in the car, and his devotion to his box of cannolis in The Godfather make him a world-class movie chowhound. Mon Jun 11 06:34:35 -0700 2007 2648178 57867 Gin and It 2 2654239 Clemenza says: "Start with a little oil, and fry some garlic. Add the tomatoes and tomato paste, and fry. Be sure it doesn’t stick. When boiling, add the sausages and meatballs. Add some red wine and sugar." I could swear he ad lib'd a bit and said "ya t'row in your sausages and meatballs." Can anyone find a link to this scene in the movie??? I've checked youtube but could not find that scene from the film. Tue Jun 12 17:35:04 -0700 2007 2648322 11983 Val 3 2655955 Has anyone actually tried this recipe?? Is it any good?? Wed Jun 13 09:20:47 -0700 2007 2654239 78611 aurora50 4 2785253 my Italian mother's recipe nearly, minus her addition of oregano and a pinch of sugar only if necessary to cut the tomato's tang. Check imdb for quotes from the movie. My movie dish votes go to Clemenza's sauce, "Big Night's" red, green and white risotto trio, the choco land feast in the original "Willy Wonka" and the blinis Demidof in "Babette's Feast." Thu Jul 26 08:24:22 -0700 2007 2655955 81352 Cake Ladies 4 3002808 Here's a recipe I found while looking for it a while back: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A467741 I've wanted to make Clemenza's sauce for a long time! Wed Oct 03 23:24:49 -0700 2007 2655955 69409 emery_jc 5 5009075 Here's the scene from the movie..."Clemenza cooks"--and now I'm so hungry!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eea8vp8z8Jg Sun Sep 06 09:52:39 -0700 2009 3002808 11983 Val 2 2657910 Good lord, Gin and It - I just posted a question regarding your name on the Spirits board! Please let me know what the "it" stands for. And I will rent the Godfather again to see that scene. Thanks. Wed Jun 13 17:35:30 -0700 2007 2648322 11388 Marsha 3 2777225 I always thought the verb "bear" was missing from that user name. Or maybe it's I.T., as in Information Technology, which often could be improved by the addition of gin. Mon Jul 23 21:10:33 -0700 2007 2657910 42513 Mawrter 4 2893669 You've made my day. Wed Aug 29 12:59:48 -0700 2007 2777225 11388 Marsha 3 4218946 As someone else pointed out, this recipe goes back to the '20s. The "It" was nothing more mysterious than sweet Vermouth, but the title was meant to be lightly naughty. This was the decade of the "It" Girl -- and "It" always meant sexiness. Lots of 20s drinks had slightly naughty names, such as the Angel's Tit, Maiden's Prayer, and Between the Sheets. Wed Dec 03 18:38:21 -0800 2008 2657910 135209 pettacom 2 2671120 Just watched this again last night. Never before have I so craved a glass of chianti. Or how about the veal that McCloskey's eating? "It's the best in the city", says Solazzo. Mon Jun 18 12:54:22 -0700 2007 2648322 58128 ajs228 3 2671391 Whenever I'm eating in an Italian restaurant with my brother and sister, we always joke, "Never eat the veal - and don't sit with your back near the window!!"

Recall Rosie pouring out Charlie's 2-case stash after a bender while the African Queen navigated to Lake Victoria. P.S. steer clear from the foodie items in Papillon. Mon Jun 11 09:20:28 -0700 2007 2648178 57170 Veggo 1 2648828 How about a "Royale with Cheese" from Pulp Fiction? Mon Jun 11 09:25:56 -0700 2007 2648178 76025 mojoeater 2 2705316 They talked about a Royale with Cheese, but for actual eating, Jules took a big old bite from a Big Kahuna Burger - the cornerstone of any nutritional breakfast! Thu Jun 28 21:25:47 -0700 2007 2648828 15036 tastyjon 3 2706436 That's a Tarantino staple. He and George Clooney eat Big Kahuna in From Dusk Till Dawn too. Fri Jun 29 09:27:58 -0700 2007 2705316 58128 ajs228 4 2769728 There is a bar here in Minneapolis that serves the Big Kahuna Burger. It's got pineapple on it, and some other Hawaiian type toppings. Fri Jul 20 20:55:14 -0700 2007 2706436 88555 pgokey 2 2705561 That's hilarious! I thought of Pulp Fiction too, but not for burgers, for blueberry pancakes and a vanilla shake (2 different scenes). After I saw the movie I craved both for weeks. Fri Jun 29 01:16:58 -0700 2007 2648828 49715 cookiecutter 2 3010884 Pulp Fiction is still one of my favorites - the soundtrack too ! Next time I watch it, I'll be sure to have my Royale ready with my favorite cheese...Tartufello - Tuscan Raw Milk Pecorino with Truffle - it's divine! .

Mon Jun 11 14:13:05 -0700 2007 2648885 52884 AreBe 1 2648893 From the movie 'Dinner Rush': fusilli con melanzana with fresh basil and ricotta; grilled pears with robiola cheese and speck; panelle: wild mushroom and chickpea fritters. Then of course there's everthing from 'Babette's Feast'. Mon Jun 11 09:45:00 -0700 2007 2648178 75332 Gio 2 2656165 yeah, I guess turtle soup is out of the question? Wed Jun 13 10:19:22 -0700 2007 2648893 78370 littlegreenpea 1 2649088 Forgive me, but what is actually served for dinner in "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" Also, I cannot get the scene at the Lobster Resaturant in "My Best Friend's Wedding" where everybody Breaks into the bigh song and dance. The elaborate scenes in the Harry Potter movies amaze me. Edit to add the Reses Pieces in E.T. (I can't believe I almost forgot!) Mon Jun 11 10:33:12 -0700 2007 2648178 73756 enbell 2 2649366 The dinner in '"Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?"? It's just like the breakfast in "Breakfast at Tiffany's". We never find out. Katharine and Audrey Hepburn never share the secrets of their slender figures! Mon Jun 11 11:40:49 -0700 2007 2649088 57170 Veggo 3 2649623 Actually, Audrey's "breakfast" was simply her eating a piece of pastry out of a bag while she admired Tiffany's window. : ) Mon Jun 11 12:42:40 -0700 2007 2649366 78611 aurora50 4 2657148 I believe she was eating a croissant out of a bag with a coffee in a paper cup...probably from some NYC breakfast cart. Wed Jun 13 13:49:39 -0700 2007 2649623 76776 Elyssa 3 2668083 Guess Who's Coming to Dinner was on last night, so I can report that the main course was beef, some kind of steak I think -- Tilly has to order two more steaks when she finds out the Prentices are coming to dinner -- and there are two of her famous pies, and though what's in them isn't mentioned, I could have sworn she was meringuing the tops in one scene, which limits the possibilities. Probably not enough to go on to actually replicate it though :) Sun Jun 17 09:43:29 -0700 2007 2649366 11485 Adrienne 3 2770010 Although I don't remember what they had for dinner, I often think of the scene with Tracey and Hepburn at the drive-in. The elusive berry ice cream, (boysenberry) I think, he describes so well makes me want to find the same everytime I visit an ice cream parlor.

BUDDY - How d'ya want it, burnt to a crisp, or bloody as hell? VINCENT - Bloody as hell. And to drink, a vanilla coke. BUDDY - How 'bout you, Peggy Sue? MIA - I'll have the Durwood Kirby burger -- bloody -- and a five-dollar shake. BUDDY - How d'ya want that shake, Martin and Lewis, or Amos and Andy? MIA - Martin and Lewis. VINCENT - Did you just order a five-dollar shake? MIA - Sure did. VINCENT - A shake? Milk and ice cream? MIA - Uh-huh. VINCENT - It costs five dollars? BUDDY - Yep. VINCENT - You don't put bourbon in it or anything? BUDDY - Nope. VINCENT - Just checking. Buddy comes back with the drinks. Mia wraps her lips around the straw of her shake. MIA - Yummy! VINCENT - Can I have a sip of that? I'd like to know what a five-dollar shake tastes like. MIA - Be my guest. She slides the shake over to him. MIA - You can use my straw, I don't have kooties. Vincent smiles. VINCENT - Yeah, but maybe I do. MIA - Kooties I can handle. He takes a sip. VINCENT - G&^%amn! That's a pretty f*&%in' good milk shake. MIA - Told ya. VINCENT - I don't know if it's worth five dollars, but it's pretty f*&%in' good.

Choose a wine from Sideways...just not merlot. Split pea soup...made infamous by The Exorcist, though it wasn't actually used as food. I would mention the food scene from Temple of Doom but I doubt you would want to make chilled monkey brains. Mashed potatoes, Animal House...I'm a zit..get it? I would say do something from When Harry Met Sally but I don't know what she was eating during the "I'll have what she is having" scene. Looked like chicken salad.

Fri Jun 15 09:34:07 -0700 2007 2650115 58128 ajs228 2 2674912 Actually, what might be the most famous dish from the movie Tampopo might be the omu-raisu (rice omelette) from the scene where the homeless man sneaks into the restaurant and makes a perfect version of it. That dish was specially created at the famous yoshoku restaurant Taimeiken in Tokyo, and it has been featured on their menu since the movie opened (aka tampopo omu-raisu). http://web-japan.org/nipponia/nipponia20/en/appetit/index.html Tue Jun 19 14:04:17 -0700 2007 2650115 10509 E Eto 3 2681858 Yes - thank you.

That alone has inspired me to use a truffle slicer to cut similarly thin slices of garlic, though due to the slicer's unprotected blade its resulted in making the occaisional offering of skin to the food gods. I'll also second Marsha's vote for ramen in Tampopo, though it doesn't easily fall into the easy category for the average home cook... (Actually the raw egg scene is pretty memorable, and you don't even need to know how to cook!)

Of course the film is more about conversation than food but some of the dialogue is priceless as in this quote I found at the LondonFoodFilmFiesta site: "ANDRE: ...And then, to begin with, a terrine de poisson. WAITER: Yes WALLACE: What is that? ANDRE: It's, uh, a pâté, light, made of fish. WALLACE: Does it have bones in it? ANDRE: No bones. WALLACE: Well, um, what is the, uh, bramborová polévka?

The monkey brain dish from Temple of Doom. For obvious reasons you can't replicate it exactly, but what about substitutions? A coconut for the head and jello/ice cream/etc. for the brain. How about some nice venision chops? Although it wasn't shown in the movie we can assume that the hunter went home and cooked up Bambi's dad.

Fox and Gabrielle Anwar enjoy Gray's Papaya hot dogs while chatting about the piano player on the street corner from the window of the restaurant in 1993's Gray's Papaya is a hot dog restaurant with three locations on the West Side of Manhattan, open 24 hours a day year-round. The three locations of Gray's Papaya in Manhattan are: 539 Eighth Avenue at 37th Street, 402 Sixth Avenue at 8th Street, and 2090 Broadway at 72nd Street. Somewhere between a street vendor and a fast food restaurant, Gray's Papaya is famous for its very inexpensive, high-quality hot dogs. The "papaya" in the name refers to the fruit drinks sold at the establishment, which include orange, grape, piña colada, coconut champagne (non-alcoholic), and banana daiquiri (non-alcoholic) in addition to papaya. As of November 2006, the "Recession Special," (2 Hot Dogs & a Drink) is $3.50 Mon Jul 23 01:49:15 -0700 2007 2648178 112292 SpyderRogue 1 2773900 AHA , and what about this one, depending on ur guests sense of humor. i think the recipe mostly works, if u know ur baking, then u can estimate the proper amt of sugar-lol from South Park Chef’s Salty Chocolate Balls: 2 tablespoons of cinnamon, and 2 or 3 egg whites, a half a stick of butter, melted. Stick it all in a bowl baby, stir it with a wooden spoon, mix in a cup of flour. You’‘l be in heaven soon pour in a cup of unsweetened chocolate, and a half a cup of brandy then throw in a bag or two of sugar, and just a pinch of vanilla, grease up the cookie sheet. Cause I hate when my balls stick! then preheat the oven to 350, and give that spoon a lick! and the rest of the offensive ( to some) song is found here http://www.southparkx.net/lyrics/03-chocolate-salty-balls Eat up!!

The mother-in-law's specialty in the Joy Luck Club, where the son-in-law was trying to help by dumping a bunch of soy sauce on it.

All that is required to feel that here and now is happiness is a simple heart. Also: There is one sin that God will not forgive, if a woman asks you to her bed and you do not go. I reread the book every five years for values clarification. From the way back machine: A Walk in the Sun: a crispy apple and some good wine(Thought of this one a lot in Nam.). Old Boy after being imprisoned and tortured for 15 years, the noodle shop. Russian vodka and herring in Burnt by the August Sun (?) and Pecularities of National Fishing.

Wed Aug 05 18:37:19 -0700 2009 2648178 93538 Passadumkeg 2 4921703 My favorite part is when Zorba sees an old man planting an olive tree. He knows the man will probably not live long enough to see it produce olives. He questions the man and the man says, "I live my life as though I will live forever." Zorba retorts that he lives every day as though it's his last. After reflecting a bit, he decides the 2 attitudes are not really opposites.

It's in The Lady Eve, with Henry Fonda and Barbara Stanwyck. Eugene Pallette, the marvelous actor who plays Fonda's father (from a very wealthy family) comes down to breakfast, which is served on the veranda on long tables filled with gigantic silver trays covered with bell-shaped covers to keep the bacon, etc. hot. He gets there late and, after lifting cover after cover, finds that there's no food left. He then slumps down in a chair, grabs two covers and starts banging them together, shouting "WHERE'S MY BREAKFAST! WHERE'S MY BREAKFAST!" A hilarious scene in a fantastic movie.
