Through Kotaku, I discovered the site\u00a0Gourmet Gaming<\/a>, which I think is a fantastic idea.\u00a0 Food creations based on the food items utilized in video games, to which there are obviously no shortage of after all these years.\u00a0 I can\u2019t say that I\u2019m vaguely familiar with many of these creations beyond a just a few here and there, but when they touch on my nostalgia and make creations from them, we\u2019ve got winners.<\/span><\/p>\n My favorites are the unknown\u00a0Golden Axe<\/em>\u00a0meat<\/a>, the\u00a0Streets of Rage<\/em>\u00a0trash-can chicken<\/a>, and the above pictured\u00a0Castlevania<\/em>broken-wall turkey<\/a>.\u00a0 Clearly, I favor those items that actually do something, as opposed to something in the background, and these are all from very old games, now.\u00a0 Ugh \u2013 they\u2019re OLD, just like me.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Obviously, the idea of retrieving food out of trash cans, crates, statues or from behind walls was not lost on me, namely just how absurdly unsanitary it is that we make our controlled characters eat them anyway, for sustained health.\u00a0 But leave it to the internet to take these ideas and concepts and bring them to life, for all of us game nerds to reminisce and laugh along.<\/span><\/p>\n But if I had to weigh them, I think the Castlevania wall turkey\u2019s got to be the most unsanitary of these fictitious three game food items.\u00a0 At least with the Golden Axe meat, unknown as it may be, is coming directly from another living creature who was obviously going to eat it themselves, before dropping them as punishment for stealing your magic jars, so it couldn\u2019t be that bad.\u00a0 The Streets of Rage trash\/crate\/barrel chicken is a little more skeptical, but at least there\u2019s a 50\/50 shot that it could have been recently placed into the container, or be guaranteed food poisoning.\u00a0 But finding it in a container seems slightly more sanitary overall compared to finding it in little wall alcoves, covered by bricks.<\/span><\/p>\n Which means, the Castlevania wall turkey is easily the most humorously unsanitary food item of them all.\u00a0 They\u2019re clearly hidden long enough in these little alcoves to where the bricks sealing them in have blended in well enough to fool those not looking for them.\u00a0 And for the matter, the residents of the Castlevania continuum are pretty much all dead things \u2013 vampires, skeletons, zombies, wraiths, ghouls and those annoying little red gremlins that have odd movement patterns and are hard to whip, much less trust their cooking.\u00a0 At least in the other two games, it\u2019s probably intelligent bipedal beings doing the cooking.<\/span><\/p>\n But in spite of such in-depth analysis, we as players are still not hesitant to walk Simon\/Trevor Belmont right into meal time, devouring such wall turkeys, because frankly, those old Castlevania games were hard \u2013 in later stages, four hits, and you\u2019re dead.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Through Kotaku, I discovered the site\u00a0Gourmet Gaming, which I think is a fantastic idea.\u00a0 Food creations based on the food
