Random Ever Wanted To Know What It's Like To Peel A Pokémon And Eat It?
Spoiler: It's horrifying
We've all dreamed of eating Pokémon, despite our best judgment. Sure, they're our companions, our pets, our ticket to the Pokémon League, and more... but some of them also look tasty. Would a Miltank burger be any good? Is a Squirtle soup unethical? And which of the many fish Pokémon would taste best? We'll never be able...

Random Have Your Cake And Murder It Too With The Latest Among Us Tie-In
*shoves cake into vent*
Remember that trend where everything was cake? You'd see a video of someone's dog on Twitter, and then they'd stick a knife into it and BOOM. It was cake, stupid. Or you'd go to your mum's house for Mother's Day only to find out that some wily pâtissièr had replaced her with pastry, as a fun joke. It was a nightmare! You...

Random The World's First Gamer Nut Butter Is Made For Gamers To Eat While Gaming
Now we just need gamer toast
No one ever thinks of the gamers. We have had to suffer through decades of disrespect, forced to eat regular, non-gamer meals with the rest of the normies. They say that some foods are the "breakfast of champions", but what about the Smash Bros. champions, huh? What about the people who always win at Mario Kart Grand...

Random This Nintendo Switch Birthday Cake Makes Us Want A Thick Switch
Switch Pro? Is that you?
The whole point of the Nintendo Switch is that it's slim, and portable; it's easy to carry around and easy to pick up and play. But since we've been clamouring for a Switch Pro probably ever since the OG Switch came out, it's fun to imagine what it could look like. May we present to you: THICK SWITCH. It's like the CRT TV...

Random Japanese Café Introduces Limited-Time Only Ace Attorney-Themed Menu
Object-YUM
When it comes to Ace Attorney and food, what comes first to most people's minds is the series' slightly strange localisation of common Japanese foodstuffs into American dishes, like Maya's love for ramen being translated as "burgers". But we're not here to split hairs noodles about whether or not a burger is a type of sushi — we're here...

News Tokyo's Kirby Café Is Adding A Chocolate Pizza To Their Menu
And it's served on a Kirby-shaped board
The Kirby Café chain is delightfully weird. With dishes featuring the faces and general shapes of Kirby and friends, and names like "Chocolate fondant that Meta Knight sneakily takes out of his cape", it sounds like the kind of place we'd love to go to. You can even order drinks topped with a marshmallow of...
Random Japan Gets Exclusive Pokémon Treats For Valentine's Day
When you love someone so much you want them to eat Pikachu's face

The Amazing Bento Lady!
We've always been told that you shouldn't play with your food, but we'll make an exception for the art of Bento. For the uninitiated, Bento is kind of like a Japanese packed lunch - it's a single-portion meal which is often arranged in a visually appealing manner. In Japan, mothers often spend a large amount of time creating...
