68. "Who is it?"

"Mr. Pizza."

"Again?"

"Mr. Pizza, sir!...Okay, who had the double cheese sausage and bologna?"

Mrs. johnnyd says this is from I Love You to Death

Would this be #84?

Two minute scene:  Mom bustles home from work, grabs two little saucepans, dumps a cup of Minute rice in one, a can of tuna and a can of mushroom soup into the other, and as she scritches them around with a fork, yells, "Dinner's ready."

I think this is Desert Bloom about the 3 girls and mum and dad with a gas station?? Actually it's a guess cos it rings a big bell??

CORRECT!!! And when Rose ran away from home, she carried a heavy suitcase full of mushroom soup, because that's all she knew how to cook.

A beautiful whole fish going into a poacher with slices of lemon , etc.... with a glass of wine and a straw

2 eggs over easy with a side of bacon , grits and butter, as a first bite picture is being taken .............and a description of how to cook grits. "I've heard of grits before, but I've never seen a grit"

Peanut butter and onion sandwiches is from Little Monsters.

I am not sure how old it is but it had a decent cast of now-TV folks: Fred Savage (Malcolm in the Middle) and Howie Mandel (I forget the show's name but contestants open suitcases in search of money). It may have been the original unanimated "Monsters Inc" !

Another movie with a grim clue: A towel full of oranges

I'm thinking Full Metal Jacket...?

Rounders

Not the movie I am thinking of...

The Grifters

"The Grifters" is quite correct! Well done!

A new week and a new recap...

Please don't assign numbers to your new movie foods...if a movie is solved before it gets put into a recap, I don't give it a number since it's out of play.

Also, we're getting some repeat movies. Try not to use "Cool Hand Luke", "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" and "Dirty Dancing" as they've all been used twice.

**Some new clues have been added to the movies still in play

Wow, we have a lot of avid foodie movie fans out there!

CONGRATULATIONS TO:

-WHT for solving #75 (a grim clue: A towel full of oranges) as the film "The Grifters". The towel full of oranges was from a very grim scene in the movie ("Tell me about the oranges, Lilly"). WHT also solved "50 hardboiled eggs in an hour" as "Cool Hand Luke".

-Simon_S for solving #65 (Live, wriggling reptilian alien looking frogs swallowed whole. CLUE: the live reptilian alien frogs were served from a glass bowl while a blue dancer danced) was the film "Return of the Jedi".

-racheld for solving #53 ("Turn me over I am done on this side." CLUE: blonde woman eating an ice cream cone in town square and she finally has someone to cook for) as "Under the Tuscan Sun".

-waterdogs for solving #74 (a good hamburger with lots of onions, was it in S. Eureka or N. Eureka? from same movie: "Here's to Boompah" and finally same movie: "gum drops, shortcake, sweet stuff jelly roll" o.k. one more, same movie: "Hip! hip!") as the film "Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation".

-reefpimp for solving "Fresh bits of brain, sautéd in butter and herbs" as the film "Hannibal".

-johhnyd has correctly guessed that "Waiter, there's a transexual in my soup" is the film "Rocky Horror Picture Show".

--glossyp has solved #70 ("A little sprinkle of tapioca in the cherry pie, just like Mama did," just before the cook is coaxed down onto the floor with her husband, with her "Apron up around her ears." bonus clue: same movie features a roast chicken dinner used to decorate the dining room walls) as the film "Sweet Dreams".

--Domestic Goddess has correctly guessed that "centipede and barley soup" is the film (video?) "Kermit's Swamp Years" & also solved "have some lotus soup, a son will come quickly" as the film "The Wedding Banquet".

-WHT has solved "tomato soup, 10 tins of, mushroom soup, 8 tins of for consumption cold" as the film "Trainspotting".

-insomniac has correctly guessed that "Two minute scene: Mom bustles home from work, grabs two little saucepans, dumps a cup of Minute rice in one, a can of tuna and a can of mushroom soup into the other, and as she scritches them around with a fork, yells, 'Dinner's ready' " is the film "Desert Bloom".

-JeanneCake has solved "2 eggs over easy with a side of bacon , grits and butter, as a first bite picture is being taken .............and a description of how to cook grits. "I've heard of grits before, but I've never seen a grit") is the film "My Cousin Vinny".

-I_call_the_duck has correctly guessed that "A beautiful whole fish going into a poacher with slices of lemon , etc.... with a glass of wine and a straw" is the film "Roxanne".

-waterdogs has solved "Peanut butter and onion sandwiches" as the film "Little Monsters".

-Hannahbanana has correctly solved "VERY nervous chef sends a dish of beautifully rare pigeon breast out to a VIP customer. Customer's comments: 'inventive... and creative' " as the film "My Best Friend's Wedding".

-caroled has solved "I carried a watermelon?" as the film "Dirty Dancing".

************

WAITING FOR CONFIRMATION:

-caroled has guessed that #71 is "Father of the Bride".

-reefpimp has guessed that #66 is "Hairspray".

We also know:

#49 is not "Lilies of the Field"

#67 is not "Memoirs of a Geisha" or "Monsters, Inc."

#68 is not "I Love You to Death"

************

AS YET UNSOLVED AND STILL TAUNTING US:

49. How about "A solitary fried egg, soup with a ham hock"

55. How current are you in your movies? Movie food = individual chocolate soufflés

CLUE: The main character's daughter runs a catering company

61. The following items are on the menu in this movie:

melon with port, herring, snails ala mode Chablis, hare pate, grilled sardines, filet of sole, fried whiting, skate in brown butter, quenelles of pike, truit au bleu, vol au vent, three cups of tea, two with lemon, one with milk, three coffees, one with cognac, a glass of poisoned milk, three glasses of water, champagne, bread, lettuce, whiskey and soda, foie gras, ham, dry martinis, eggs, cheese, roast chicken, port ,omelet with truffles, guinea hen, soup, leg of lamb with beans, American canned beans, and in conclusion, leftover roast meat and a baguette for a late night snack.

66. Pizza with "stinky junk, bits of sweaty sausage, a little tomato, nice, fresh spaghetti, an old cheese rind, lettuce that's good and rotten, one olive..."

67. A cherry snow cone

CLUE: They had snow cones (hers was cherry) because it was still so hot, even though it was night time.

68. "Who is it?"

"Mr. Pizza."

"Again?"

"Mr. Pizza, sir!...Okay, who had the double cheese sausage and bologna?"

CLUE: "Am I hallucinating here? Just what in the hell do you think you're doing?

"Learning about Cuba. Having some food."

71. Saffodd and Keck

72. A decapitated chopped-liver chicken

73. "Can someone hand me my Evian"

76. Cans of orange soda with the brand name "Jump"

CLUE: The Big Woo

77. Butter being churned

MODIFIED CLUE: picnic hampers containing-

"...some ole meat pies and apple jelly..."

"...cold duck with stuffin'and that lemon meringue pie."

CLUE: The picnic hampers were up for auction

78. eyebowl soup served in a metal bowl

CLUE: This is an old movie. It is actually a remake of an older movie and is the inspiration for the tv show "I Dreamed of Jeannie".

79. Extremely bloody piece of beef being roughly hewn in a very genteel restaurant

81. Waiter, there's a turd in my soup

82. Waiter, there's a fly (yes, really) in my soup

83. Try not to spill the soup, you Marxist bastard

84. "Why is there a watermelon there?" (no cheating by using Google!)

85. "they don't serve fried chicken and watermelon on a daily basis in my mess hall"

86. chalky tasting dessert

****

NOTE: If you post a movie, please check back to see if the guesses on your movie are correct or not so we can keep the "Still in Play" list accurate.

Also, consider posting more clues if your movie remains unsolved.

Another easy one: an omelette, cooked on the sly.

"There is no sincerer love than the love of food."  -George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, Act 1

 

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

"...in the mid-’90s when the internet was coming...there was a tendency to assume that when all the world’s knowledge comes online, everyone will flock to it. It turns out that if you give everyone access to the Library of Congress, what they do is watch videos on TikTok."  -Neil Stephenson, author, in The Atlantic

 

"In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual." -Galileo Galilei, physicist and astronomer
