5 | [[http://gourmetgaming.tumblr.com/ Gourmet Gaming]] is a gaming blog dedicated to the food of gaming. Specifically, turning fictional foods from games into ''real'' foods you can [[{{Defictionalization}} prepare and eat for yourself]]. Every Wednesday ([[ScheduleSlip give or take]]), blog writer Daniella Zelli adds new recipes inspired by the worlds of gaming. From the mainstream (such as VideoGame/TheSims) to the obscure (how about some ''VideoGame/MuramasaTheDemonBlade'' fish udon?), no game is off limits so long as the food in it looks and sounds delicious! |

10 | * ArtisticLicense: She tries to base her recipes on in-game images when possible, but she isn't afraid to improvise when none are available. |
11 | * BlazingInfernoHellfireSauce: Both her Dante's [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Inferno]] pizza from ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' and the ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand'' Superspicy Curry are prone to inducing {{fire breath|ingDiner}}. |
12 | * ChristmasEpisode: Around Christmas, she does Christmassy recipes, like fruitcake and gingerbread. From appopriate games, of course! |
13 | * ComfortFood: Macaroni and cheese, according to her, is the ultimate in comfort foods. |
14 | * CordonBleughChef: |
15 | ** She gets several friends to taste-test her recipes before sending them out into the wild, but some of them do sound a bit bizarre regardless. Examples include chocolate chip and nori cookies and Mountain Dew burger sauce, but they ''do'' actually taste good. |
16 | ** She also done real-life versions of a few canon examples, such as the ''VideoGame/EarthBound1994'' peanut cheese bar and VideoGame/DeadlyPremonition's Sinner's Sandwich. |
17 | * CutASliceTakeTheRest: She describes her ''VideoGame/EarthBound1994'' Peanut Cheese Bar recipe in this way: |
18 | --> ''And when I say it makes six to eight bars, what I really mean is it makes one giant bar for one lucky person. Like me.'' |
19 | * FoodPorn: As if the recipes weren't mouthwatering enough, she enjoys photographing them from enticing angles as well. |
20 | * GamerChick: Well, not many men are named "Daniella"... |
21 | * ImpossiblyDeliciousFood: Even she was surprised at just how delicious Yeto's Soup from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' ended up being. "This is actually one of the most delicious things I've ever tasted!" |
22 | * MasochistsMeal: Her take on the Superspicy Curry from ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand'' is not for the faint of heart. She herself describes it as "like punching yourself in the face." |
23 | * PowerupFood: Several of her dishes are based on these. |
24 | * SatiatingSandwich: She's done a couple of sandwiches, including the famous ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' sandvich. |
25 | * SeparatedByACommonLanguage: She's from the UK, but has twice made American-style biscuits. She's noted her mental disconnect between what she thinks of as a "biscuit" (an American "cookie") and an American-style biscuit (closer to a British "scone"). |
26 | * SupremeChef: More impressive than usual in that Zelli is completely self-taught. She started off cooking simply by tweaking recipes she found in books, and simply practiced from there. |
27 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: She notes that her ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' Mushroom Stew is only for people who really, really, ''really'' like mushrooms... including herself. |
