A Harry Potter-themed restaurant has opened in Brooklyn, following a grand tradition that includes the gut-busting Hobbit breakfast, Deadpool cocktails and a naked Daniel Craig ice lolly
The Harry Potter books and movies were always a little food and drink obsessed. Trawl through the kitschier corners of the web and you’ll find recipes for alcoholic butterbeer, polyjuice potion jelly shots and even a biscuit based on Ron Weasley’s jumper. More than five years after the release of the final Potter movie, fans’ passion for wizarding-related nosh also continues to inspire new eateries: this week has seen the opening of a Boy Who Lived-themed pasta restaurant in Brooklyn, New York (the Dark Lord smoothie looks fairly quaffable), and a cafe in Singapore that serves up flaming “Goblet of Fire” cocktails.
But, if Potter-related food and drink tends to be reasonably tasteful – or at least digestible - other movie branding tie-ins sound about as appetising as the vomit-flavoured sweetie in a packet of Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans. Here are some of the more disgusting menu items from around the globe.
Ectoplasm is basically gloopy, gungey ghost goo, as excreted by Slimer and his pals in the Ghostbusters movies, so the idea of quaffing a pint’s worth in order to keep you feeling perky might seem a little vomit-inducing. This did not stop the release of a themed energy drink to mark the release of the new Ghostbusters movie last year. For those desperate for a fruity-flavoured hit of caffeine, guarana, ginseng, taurine and essence of terrifying wight from beyond the grave, you can still purchase a can for just £148 on Amazon.
