Oh well, if we are talking significant food scenes in otherwise
non-foodie shows...
Pie fight in THE GREAT RACE
Three Stooges shorts, in which the boys find work as fry cooks or waiters
Star Trek Voyager, which has a character who appoints himself the ship's
chef and hilarity frequently ensues. Such as the deathless line: "Take
this cheese to sickbay!" ["Learning Curve," wherein Neelix' homemade
cheese with some iffy microbial content that winds up threatening the
ship. My cheese has never done that at least!]
Soupy Sales and every other comic who ever got a pie in the face.
Mmmm. Pie.
Heading off for KWHSS now, back Sunday,
