Food is usually used to stat buff or heal your characters in video games.
The early games of some older RPGs are just filling your inventory with food to eat, then eating like twenty pieces of cheese to heal during a boss battle. With the advancement of graphics, a new problem has arisen. Video game food is starting to look realistic.
Looking realistic isn’t the only reason to want food from your favorite game. Sometimes, you get powers just from eating a certain food. From mushrooms to steak, here are foods from video games we wish were real.
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot (Any Food)
If you know anything about Dragon Ball, you know that Goku eats enough for about forty people.
The team behind the game wanted to make us hungry by letting Goku’s wife, Chi-Chi, present us with delicious food. From a pile of cartoonish-looking meat with the bone sticking out to ramen with soft-boiled eggs, Chi-Chi will make you wish you lived with them. Like many other games on the list, you gain buffs or experience point boosts while scarfing down all the food in sight.
To fight universe-size threats, it helps to have giant home-cooked meals that look tasty.
Monster Hunter World (Any Food)
Palicoes can help you while hunting monsters, but some are master chefs who help you get a stat boost before the hunt.
This is another instance of how playing a game while hungry might cost you. Seeing a bunch of cats plate and cook a dish like the Chef’s Choice Platter is an incredible sight, but seeing the dish will make your mouth water. The majority of the dishes have perfectly cooked cuts of meat with perfectly prepared fruits and veggies.
Monster Hunter World has me staring at my cat, wondering why he isn’t preparing crazy meals for the family that will make our mouths water.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (Any Food)
Cooking is valuable in the newer Zelda titles. While you may not always see the result in a 3D model, you can see the picture and the stat boost. The picture is all you need to become hungry.
As you travel Hyrule, you will come across different types of food. Most of the time,e you will need to cook it in a pot unless you kill an animal with a fire weapon that instantly cooks them. Throwing nuts, peppers, mushrooms, and raw meat in the pot gives you a delicious-looking Pepper Steak. Throwing five bananas in a pot results in Mighty Simmered Fruit, which looks like a mix of fruits sitting in delicious juices.
Most people counter the weather and situations by sitting down at the pot and making a meal. Link should’ve tried offering Ganondorf a plate. Then, maybe Ganondorf wouldn’t have been so grumpy.

Super Mario Bros. (Mushrooms)
Unlike most video game dishes, these mushrooms don’t look appetizing but will give you powers once eaten.
There is a wide range of mushrooms in the Mushroom Kingdom. They come in different colors and looks. Does Mario need to turn into a bee? There is a mushroom for that. Does one of the characters need to hover? The Boo Mushroom will help you with that. Growing bigger and getting extra lives are easy because you only have to chomp down a mushroom.
Mario could never hope to stop Bowser without the power of mushrooms.
Final Fantasy XV (Any Food)
Ignis in Final Fantasy XV makes even something like toast look tasty. Everything he cooks looks realistic, so be careful playing while hungry.
Every night when you camp, it is best to have a meal because of the stat boost. Ignis is always learning new recipes; they all look divine. The expert plating and look of the Spicy Long-Bone Rip Steak had me going feral, trying to jump through the screen. The Crispy Zu Skewers look perfectly fried, and any cooked eggs look perfect.
What other game has a thirteen-minute-long food compilation on YouTube? Long live Final Fantasy and its delicious food.
Minecraft (Steak)
Minecraft is all pixels and blocks, but most of the food is so good it heals.
Most people dream of a world where you can carry a steak in your hand and start munching away. The steak looks perfect with the grill lines. It is cooked over charcoal, which could give it a nice flavor. It has to taste amazing because it can heal you. You have many other types of food like chicken, veggies, fruits, and desserts.
If eating steak could make you immortal, I’d be a god. I wish I could heal my injuries with a steak.
Yakuza: Like a Dragon (Any Food)
Eating in the Like a Dragon series is optional, but after seeing the options, it might become mandatory for you.
There are a lot of restaurants throughout your journey in the series. With modern graphics, the menus look realistic. You have stunning-looking sushi, soups, and delicious-looking meats. You have fluffy-looking desserts like cake. The drink menu looks incredible, with all the alcoholic and non-alcoholic choices. Everything is presented as it would look in a magazine.
It is ok to stop and enjoy some delicious food while unraveling a conspiracy with organized crime and the government.
Portal (Cake)
The cake may have been a lie, but it has to be good enough to almost die for it.
GlaDOS uses cake to incentivize Chell to finish all the test chambers. While navigating puzzles that keep becoming more difficult, you begin to think about how good that cake must be. You start to find dens, claiming that the dessert you want is a lie. The cake is a lie and is found several times scribbled in places. How can it be a lie when you keep getting promised cake? You now understand the lie as you round the corner after the final test.
It is a shame you don’t even get a slice; you just have to run for your life.
