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?
