Which video game has food that looks so delicious, you’ve actually wanted to try it for real?

[RETRO-VETRO RETRO-VETRO]

Game	Dish Highlights	Why It’s Crave-Worthy
Final Fantasy XV	Peppery steak, creamy risotto, seafood paella	Ignis’s cooking animations are so detailed they feel like a food ad. You can practically smell the umami.
Battle Chef Brigade	Monster meat stews, elemental soufflés, jewel-toned dumplings	Combines fantasy ingredients with Iron Chef flair. Every dish looks like it belongs in a magical Michelin guide.
Persona 5	Leblanc’s curry & coffee	Comfort food meets plot relevance. That curry is basically a character.
Cooking Mama	Everything from sushi to apple pie	It’s cartoony, but the joy of slicing, stirring, and plating makes it feel like edible art. Mama would be proud.
Monster Hunter: World	Giant meat platters, sizzling skewers	The Palico chefs serve up feasts that look like they could feed a raid party IRL.
Stardew Valley	Pumpkin soup, pink cake, spicy eel	Pixel food with emotional weight, each dish tied to relationships, seasons, and cozy feelin'
Yakuza: Like a Dragon	Ramen, bento boxes, takoyaki	Real-world Japanese dishes rendered with mouthwatering detail. Makes you want to pause the game and order takeout.
Spiritfarer	Comfort meals like grilled fish, mushroom salad, and desserts	The food is tied to memory and emotion. It’s not just tasty, it’s tender.

Monster Hunter: World seems tasty. So does Yakuza: Like a Dragon.

Monster Hunter, all of them! The gigantic monstrous servings of food are hilarious, but they all look prettyt nice.

Vanillaware games all have amazing looking food. Unicorn Overlord in particular, the art work was so good it made me hungry to play the game lol.

PS - I hated it! Had to spit it back out. I think I would have rather eaten a frog, rat, or other critter from the game, instead
