Like what the title says, this Freebie is dedicated to book characters and what they like to eat and drink. I did not include books that are centered around food because 1) That would be obvious and easy; 2) I like the challenge with this one; 3) It's nice to know you have paid attention to details about the fictional characters you've encountered.
This was supposed to be my theme for July 09's Top 10 Tuesday Character Freebie until I thought of another topic.
So here it is. Just so you know, I tried my hardest to remember their favorites.
Note: The characters listed here are some of my favorite fictional people. EVER.
We got a fancy one for the first spot.
I recently finished the series last week and one of the things that caught my attention was the mention of the cheese plate. Miss Grace Brighton here loves cheese plate and Jake, her love interest but was still her not-really-but-kinda enemy at that time, suddenly went from discussing a magazine article to "cheese plate" and how it's the fifth magic word (or words) that gets a woman in bed.. according to the article. Their conversation was funny though because she called it BS but a few chapters later, she went and ordered a cheese plate because she couldn't stop thinking about cheese.
Pancakes - The Blackthorn Siblings + Emma & Cristina
(The Dark Artifices by Cassandra Clare)
"Too much coffee, not enough pancakes."
"I hope they put that on my tombstone."
And that's a legit Emma x Julian quote.
Pizza - The Falcone Brothers
(The Camorra Chronicles by Cora Reilly)
One of my favorite mafia romance stories and one of my favorite families despite how twisted they are (given how this series is centered around the mafia and it's dark). We got the Falcone brothers who are feared in Vegas because they torture and kill their enemies without batting an eyelash yet they like to bond over pizza once they're back home.
Pizza is like a staple food in their lives until Nino aka Falcone Bro #2 decides that these people need some real food so he goes grocery shopping. Literally he's the only one who remembers to buy groceries.
Bacon - Zayne and Trinity
(The Harbinger Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout)
"You're doing really good."All Zayne had to do is cook some bacon and Trinity is ready to keep him in her life.
"At what? Eating bacon? I'm extremely skilled at that."
Coffee - Sydney Sage
(Bloodlines Series by Richelle Mead)
Here we have my all-time favorite fictional woman to ever grace the YA community with her magic powers, handsome brooding vampire boyfriend-now-husband, and her cup of coffee. I love Sydney Katherine Sage just as much as she loves her coffee.
She's totally a coffee-addict that in The Fiery Heart, she and Adrian had their own little support group (with just the two of them) to control their addictions: hers with coffee, his with smoking. And so far, their little group was successful.. though she still drinks coffee but now, moderately.
Tacos - Loren Hale
(Addicted Series by Krista and Becca Ritchie)
Lily: *is tangled in the sheets and comforter*I say she looked like a burrito in that scene but if they say taco, then it's TACO.
"Do I look like a good taco?"
"I'd eat you."
Blue Food - Percy Jackson
(Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan)
Tuna Casserole - Sawyer and Darlene
(Forever Right Now by Emma Scott)
Waffles - The Dregs
(Six of Crows Series by Leigh Bardugo)
This love for waffles they have going on also birthed one of most used quotes from Nina Zenik and Matthias Helvar in Tumblr edits:
"You're better than waffles, Matthias Helvar."I'm crying. I miss them and I miss eating waffles even though I just had some last Friday.
"Let's not say things we don't mean, my love."
Wine - Matthew Clairemont
(All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness)
I started this list with a fancy food plate and now I'm ending it with a fancy drink from one of my favorite, and probably the only, adult fantasy books. Matthew is an expert when it comes to wine. I kinda forgot if his choice is specifically red wine. If you've watched A Discovery of Witches, you'd definitely see Matthew holding a glass of wine here and there.
How about you, do you know what your favorite character/s like to eat or drink?
What's your topic for today's freebie?
Oh my gosh! You made me so hungry hahaha. I love about every food on this list. Character food favorites are so damn fun. It's a fact that i love to highlight what foods are mentioned in a book... but you know I rarely remember them. *cover my face* I do remember cookies are a favorite of Laura Jean. ;)
ReplyDeleteThey're really fun to remember! I love knowing little details about them especially what their favorites are!
DeleteAhhh pancakes, Pizza, tacos, Waffles! YEEEEESSSS! Girl, you making me hungry now lol I'm literally going to make waffles now 😂 And cheese plate! Woo! 😋
ReplyDeleteGenesis @ Whispering Chapters
YESSSS! QUEEN OF WAFFLES!
DeleteGreat list! What a fun topic to pick! I loved the Bloodlines series, and Sydney sure did love her coffee. Here is my Top Ten Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteShe does! Gotta admit that she has a bit of influence on why I like coffee too haha
DeleteWell, now you have me craving pancakes. Ha!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT.
LOL I can now say my job here is done
DeleteGreat list! I would definitely join the mafia for guaranteed pizza.
ReplyDeleteYou have no idea how much your comment made me laugh
DeleteAww I adore Percy Jackson with every part of my demigod loving soul! He'll always be my favourite.
ReplyDeleteI really miss the series though. And I still haven't read Heroes of Olympus.
DeleteTHIS IS THE BEST POST AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH IN EVERY WAY. Also YESSS Blackthorns + Emma & Cristina. Also Percy Jackson + blue food, what a weird kid, I love it.
ReplyDeleteI also now want to think about what my fave fictional characters like to eat but.. I.. yeah I shouldn't go down that rabbit hole until I have a few free hours at least.
My TT is here!
Percy's choice of food IS weird but we still love our darling demigod
DeleteC'mon, I just WENT to the grocery store...
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome thing to pay attention to. sometimes I notice when a book has a particularly delicious description of food -- I keep thinking I need to write those down in a notebook or something -- but not as associated with particular characters.
I love it when authors add the ingredients and recipe of the food mentioned in their books at the end of the story.
DeleteWhat a fun topic! Sydney really was addicted to coffee.
ReplyDeleteShe was! Glad that in TFH, she was trying to cut some bit of caffeine in her life though.
DeleteHow fun! I definitely think you're right about Percy Jackson and the blue food. I remember reading one book and on every other page, the main character was drinking an iced coffee. It was crazy how often it was brought up!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cool list idea! And your moodboards are so exquisite and beautiful as always <3 This post made me hungry ehe
ReplyDeleteAfter reading this post, I have the biggest craving for waffles now and it's making me miss my Six of Crows gang. I would happily treat that gang to as many waffles as they want as long as I can eat with them!
ReplyDeleteI love how creative this topic is.
- Lois @ My Midnight Musing
SUCH A FUN POST! And now I'm in the mood for waffles and pancakes and coincidentally, a re-read of Six of Crows and The Dark Artifices... :)
ReplyDeleteOMG THIS IS THE BEST THEME IDEA EVER!!!! LOVED IT!
ReplyDeleteUm what the heck Chai!?! I love how creative you are! Now it makes me wonder how much I don't pay attention to my favorite characters' favorite foods and stuff. I'm a bad reader lol. I love this!
ReplyDelete-Leelynn @ Sometimes Leelynn Reads
When I saw this was your topic I immediately thought waffles and the Six of Crows duology. I read a couple of the others but didn't remember their food loves. Interesting post!
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH, I LOVE THIS TOPIC CHOICE AND ALL YOUR PICKS AND NOW I'M HUNGRY. I am so sorry for shouting at you but like IT CALLED FOR IT because yes yes yes yes (and about a dozen more uses of the word yes) I am so here for this.
ReplyDeleteLove your take on this. Waffles *sniff!
ReplyDeleteI love this topic, it's so fun! And it's making me very hungry!
