In cartoons, there is nothing impossible. Animators can do everything, from materializing clothes out of nowhere to traveling through space and time. Of course, a hearty meal isn’t excluded from what cartoon characters can have. From western to eastern cuisine, animation has the power to display them all in a snap of the fingers.
For years, cartoons have tempted us with tasty creations we wish we could eat. These are the best foods our childhood selves always wanted to try. Some animators show the food scenes with all their hearts’ content. Instead of perfunctory eating scenes, they demonstrate stomach-rumbling dishes and evoke hunger in us.
We have selected several cartoons doing justice to good food, from fairly to excellently. Let’s see how many plates you can recognize!

People travel to The Big Easy to try out the doughy, deep-fried beignets and spicy Cajun gumbo. None could be better than Tiana, who is said to be one of the best cooks in all of Louisiana.
