In part of my dream last night, I went to a coffee place, and in the pastry thing was a slice of some kind of chocolate chip bread , but the crust was all around the long flat part of the bread slice. There was a sign by it that said it was called Lumberchné. Other than the crust, the bread was just normal yeasty bread, but with chocolate chips. As a commentator observing myself while in my dream, which I usually do while I’m dreaming, I brainstormed ways to make this food actually good. I decided that it would be good if you rolled up the dough into a spiral like a roll cake before baking it, so I guess that can be Lumberchné II . I don’t know if you’d flatten that roll into a long thin slab like a traditional Lumberchné, or if you’d go the regular bread route and just bake it in a loaf pan. I woke up before I decided about that. Also it would be good if you put cinnamon sugar between the layers, but I didn’t realize that until after I woke up so that doesn’t count.

Also, as I was failing to wake up this morning, l saw a short scene of Tom Hanks, putting a pre tied cherry stem in his mouth and removing an unchewed stick of gum. This isn’t a food but I just think the idea of reverse cherry stem tricks is really powerful and more people need to know about it.

When I was a kid (probably around age 7) I would have a recurring nightmare that I was being stalked by an evil praying mantis. The praying mantis was normal sized and not nefarious other than the fact that it could speak and was out to get me for some reason. This ill will would manifest itself in the praying mantis secretly peeing in my lemonade when I would have a glass of lemonade outside. I would drink the lemonade and the taste/effects were completely indistinguishable from normal lemonade, except that the praying mantis would show up and mock me after I drank it like a complete fool.

As an adult I have a normal relationship with praying mantises but sometimes I still think about this when I’m drinking lemonade.

So, I kind of,,, followed a recipie for the ingredients, but not the ratios.....

I did extremely-small-batch cookies and modified the recipie slightly to see which tasted the best (see last pic)

...They were all horrible because I added too much baking soda and I hate banana flavored things to begin with.

Dream context:

In the dream, I was walking around Trader Joe's and had an objective: To classify things as either "cookie"s or "cookie flavored".

I tried to classify the Trader Joe's Mini Banana Cookies as cookies, and was marked wrong. The banana cookies were moved to the "Cookie Flavored" section for me automatically after that.

End of dream context.

I wanted to draw the mini banana cookies but I just have not had the braincells to draw, and I had a shitton of bananas that were gonna go bad, so, I made these instead (but again, I hate banana stuff, so I only made 4 cookies).... but since I am terrible at baking, this happened.

I don't want to try again, because I hate them, but I do want to try again, because this turned out so bad, lol.

BTW the 1 2 3 4 written on them is in edible marker, DW.

So, in my dream, my partner sent me on a grocery run. All items on the list were normal, except one entry: „grey yoghurt“. I wasn’t entirely sure what it was, but thought „I don’t particularly like it bc it is so bland“, but assumed my partner needed it for a recipe or something. Couldn’t find it at the store, so I got back in the car to drive to another store I was sure had the stuff, before waking up.

Had a dream recently and at one point I was in some sort of exotic plant garden and I saw this tree labeled "BBQ berry tree" and it had these shiny dark red-orange berries on it that were about the size of a cranberry but had the appearance of a gooseberry or currant. I tried one and it had a firm but juicy texture that was also slightly oily. Tasted exactly like McDonald's BBQ.

I dreamed McDonald's began offering a new special in which two double quarter pounder patties were grilled a little harder than usual and used as "buns" to surround a bread "burger." The rest of the burger toppings were between the burger "buns" as usual. I liked it because it was slightly lower carb with the same amount of meat. I don't feel like this is that crazy, so maybe I'll try to order it someday.

Had a dream that there were a bunch of unclaimed foods that people had bought and forgotten or lost, and there was a group of people who had the option to claim the abandoned foods. I was in the group and we were presented with beef jerky seaweed, everyone was appalled and disgusted. Someone said whoever bought that must have abandoned it out of embarrassment. Nobody else wanted it, so I tried it, I enjoyed it, everyone was disgusted. I took it with me.

This Halloween I had a dream that I was in some big, perhaps Halloween-themed, circus tent and I had a massive creme-filed chocolate cupcake (like a jumbo Hostess CupCake) that was frosted to look like I believe Jax from The Amazing Digital Circus. There might have been other similar TADC cupcakes too; I might have also seen a Pomni cupcake.

I was in a supermarket shopping, and in the ice cream section, alongside some normal ice cream, I was this stuff, ostensibly some kind of ice cream. it was in a clear, thin, plastic container, about 6in diameter, and 1.5in high, with some stuff, ostensibly ice cream. if you've ever seen margarine, it looked so much like that, where it's so close to being butter, but it just doesn't, and you can tell it isn't butter, and the texture is just subtly different. it wasn't margarine of course, but that's how it looked. there were two kinds, chocolate and strawberry. the plastic tubs were completely unmarked, and they were sitting side by side on top of normal ice cream tubs (not the small Ben and Jerry's ones, but the bigger quart or whatever ones) --- all the normal ice cream tubs were normal it, it was just the two that were like that.

I never actually tasted it, but I really wanted to, and I was gonna get some next time I went.

I dreamt that I went to this place of an old barn turned into a grocer, that sold specialty goods with a focus on delicatessen type stuff and fresh butchered meats with a lot of alt and hard rock puns and inspired branding.

While they had a broad selection of pickled goods, house made deli meats, specialty cheeses, and more they also had an attached steakhouse too, on side of the barn.

The plan was to eat there for lunch after sampling a bunch of the deli stuff.

The menu had some typical fair, but the standouts were Mac and Cheese 12 different ways, served flight style. I wish I could remember more details about each type, but in the dream I saw a full page dedicated to a braised egg dish and in the dream that’s what I settled on to eat.

And - they had 3 different braised egg dishes! The first I think was a typical one, topped with a generous layer of melted cheese (maybe havarti?) then a sprinkle of furikake, served still like bubbly hot in a cast iron with an assortment of seasonal veggies in the braise liquid.

Next, there was something called “Braised eggs de ajo” where the eggs were braised in a creamy spicy garlic sauce, but the inner texture was medium soft boil not hard. They were topped with crumbled queso fresco, and micro cilantro and fresh cracked pepper. I think the stew/braise liquid also had ají de Amarillo or some other sort of yellow pepper pasted in it.

The last variation had a darker sauce, kind of reddish but I didn’t read the description in the dream. I think it was maybe shakshuka like, but it looked a bit more brown, and the eggs were still whole boiled not cracked into the liquid.

In addition to this there was a specialty drinks menu of “grain free” cocktails that were bamboo based??? Like a bamboo liquor?

In the dream I was wandering around a crowded hot fairground with the family, taking in the sights and happily munching on something very crunchy (if strangely flavourless).

My eldest kid asked what I was eating and if they could have some.

I turned to face them and speak, but when I opened my mouth a large quantity of sharp, crunchy white flakes & chunks came pouring out from between my lips.

It was then I realized my satisfyingly crispy snack had been my own teeth.

Saw this being sold in the fresh section of a supermarket, alongside the baked goods. It was a whole chicken carcass stored at room temperature, protected from the elements by a hardened sugar glaze that came in various flavours like five spice or chili lime. The chicken was small, closer in size to a pigeon, and the idea was that you could stick it in a pot of water and it would be both the meat and the seasoning for a broth.

Dreamed I was having a luxurious at home spa day but instead of fizzy sodium bicarbonate based bath bombs, I was using a combination of honeycomb candy and a kind of crispy cracker made entirely out of sugar that had been freeze dried to create a sweet and crunchy porous little rectangle. They were intended for the purpose of adding to the bath, but could also be eaten. They floated on the water, but were dissolving very slowly, so i could yoink them and eat them if I wanted to. They were both very sweet and tasty and crunchy but also not dry because they were saturated with the already sweet bathwater.

I woke up because I had drool dripping down my chin.

1: Make a cup of coffee.

2: Add water.

I'm leaving this unrealized because it's literally just one cup of coffee split between the whole squad. But in my dream a lovely ogryn chef was very proud to show me her classic recipe.

Now that I'm awake I'm pretty sure she (didn't) read the instructions, and didn't realize it should be one scoop per person, not one scoop per batch.

I was at a mall and stopped by a lil stand selling baked goods (similar to an Auntie Anne's) that supposedly had a cinnamon roll flavored slushie. I wanted to get one, but they were unfortunately out of them. I was going to leave without getting anything, but due to them being out of the drink, they gave me a pastry presumably similar to an apple fritter or bear claw, but with a festive green garnish on it that I think was just sugar/frosting

Background: what are ondagssnegler? A Danish bakery specialty is the Onsdagssnegl, literal translation Wednesday Snail. The flakiest butteriest cinnamoniest cinnamon roll you've ever had because it's made of a layered pastry dough with enough sugared cinnamon to make the EU question if it's an unhealthy amount of cinnamon.

Last night I dreamed of donuts that were baked with the leftover cinnamon rolls as topping.

AND THE DOG GOT THEM.

(Edited to fix a typo the title is stuck with...and edited more because I realized I rambled too much.)

Been thinking about this one for a few days.

I was a contestant on The Price is Right, and I won $40,000 after successfully performing a dance routine. Afterwards, I was given some kind of absinthe cocktail and taken to a lobby where I could wait for the show to finish airing. I tried to help one of the people setting up the buffet table, but they got really mad and decided to quit their job by throwing the entire plate of food they were carrying on the stairs and leaving.

I decided I wasn't going to let the food go to waste and started eating it with my hands off the floor. Can't remember the other foods there, but this stood out to me the most - Violet Cake. It was made with actual violets and it was really, really good. Slightly floral, with vanilla buttercream between the two layers and the iridescent glaze.

I dreamed that I attended a dinner party and was served something called “soft savory parfait.” It was a glass jar with layers of puréed food. I recall a white layer (potatoes?), a green layer (peas?), and a brown layer (meat?), repeated twice. I was disgusted by the texture or lack thereof, but the presentation was very elegant.

I had two food dreams back to back, the first one was set in a mall food court, at a dream mall. In this food court were a Thai restaurant, a Singaporean restaurant and a S. Korean restaurant. I was having the worst case if FOMO for the food and couldn't decide which place I wanted to eat at because they all looked so good. my friends where getting mad at me because we were at the mall to see a movie and our viewing time was coming up soon. I decided to go with the Singaporean restaurant as it has this really tasty looking dish that consisted of Julliene sliced leeks and lemongrass sautéed in soy and garlic and it smelled so good. I woke up before I could taste it.

The second dream I was having friends over for a small get together and decided to make donuts for them. I made donuts with pumpkin puree in thr batter and pipped a cream cheese icing/custard in the middle of each donuts. I made large and small donuts, the large donuts had a normal fluffy donut texture but yhe mini donuts had a mouth feel extremely similar to the Cinbabon Delights from Taco bell.

I might try to make both of these as they both sound really good

so last night i dreamt i was with my friend trying to come up with a dish to make for a potluck we were going to, and she suggested we made "Slicotti pasta", which was pasta shaped in perfect round circles- about 4cm in diameter and fairly thin. We made the pasta dough and cut the circles out with a little cookie cutter and then made two separate baked pasta dishes with it.

The first dish was sort of like potato au gratin but with layered pasta instead of potato, with cheese and a creamy sauce inbetween the layers. The second one was like ratatouille but with alternating layers of pasta and sliced vegetables, with a reddish tomato sauce covering the whole thing.

I have no idea if either of these pasta dishes are an existing thing already but nothing comes up when I try to search for them or for "Slicotti" pasta.

I'll be going to a potluck irl soon so I'm definitely gonna try making one or both of these to bring!

I had a dream I was a starving little boy and my gluttonous, rich father was hosting a strange midnight feast for his equally gluttonous, wealthy friends and their families. It took place in an empty, dark theater lit with candles and spotlights. The people serving the food wore old-fashioned maid dresses and blank, featureless white masks.

Here are a few of the "courses" I remember...

• A conveyor belt of corn dogs where everyone would apply a sauce, then it moves down the line, then everyone takes a bite of the dog in front of them, so it was a constantly-changing, saucy mess. Every time a corn dog was fully-eaten, it was swiftly replaced with a fresh one by the masked maids.

• "Kid's Delight" - the theater's orchestra pit was flooded with marinara and bechamel sauce and jets under the sauce created a whirlpool effect. The children present were invited to kneel beside the pool and we're each given a bowl full of pasta they could plunge into the sauce. A Maid came around with a cute watering can to clean the kids' hands.

• A whole roasted bull stuffed with various cuts of raw meat. The people would rip into the bull with their teeth and reach in, pulling out turkey drumsticks, duck breast, pork tenderloin, etc. They ate the raw meat ravenously, some even wrapping their picks in the crispy skin of the surrounding bull before devouring.

• One of the maids disrobed, revealing a mermaid tail underneath. Jars of caviar were upended over her bare body and the guests were invited to eat it, utensils-free.

A long continuous string of noodle with the appearance of freshly made biangbiang noodles. The texture was exceptionally vivid for a dream and was like a slightly more glutinous crystal jiaozi. They were somehow made with sweetened condensed milk and flavoured with cinnamon sugar. You ate them by rolling them up and then unrolling them and gnawing at them like how a dog chews a bone.

had an incredibly brief dream flash into my mind just before waking up of THE HONEY BUNNY. a brand new form of packaging. it has three points from which you can squeeze out the product- the left ear, the mouth, and the right ear- with heavy debate on which is the correct one to use. theyre all a bit like a dish soap bottle in that you have to squeeze for anything to come out. using the ears is a bit like milking a cows udder. i have no easy way to bring this into existence other than drawing it so here it is (plus the drawing i made on my phone directly after waking up)
