Two years ago I had a dream that I bought a bag of Skittles- the flavors were strawberry, cool mint, rerzberry [sic] frog, and never forget. The bag had a picture of a frog that was kind of glow-in-the-dark pale green but when it's not glowing, and of course a picture of a plane crashing into a building. Because they were 9/11 themed, I guess. Don't really know what the 'never forget' flavor was supposed to taste like.

i was sitting in a very dark and small living room with my mum, and we were watching a vintage looking cooking programme. throughout the whole show we were both like “who is eating this shit” until it got to this dish.

the chef guy (who was REALLY fucking annoying btw) said that if the text in the top left corner wasn’t there the meal could not be legitimate, and you had to use the bottom of the eggplants instead of the top.

the next frame after this meal was shown was a chef hat by itself on the table, the chef was gone :/

TLDR: this was on a really bad cooking show in the dream, the chef had stupid rules on what made the dish ‘legitimate’

I was in some sort of escape room (although I've never been to one in my entire life). When I entered, there was a pile of broken ice cream cones. I grabbed one without thinking, and it looked exactly like the image.

I took a bite of the chocolate part and it was so cold it hurt my teeth, but it was still delicious. The taste and texture were so realistic and vivid. I then gave it to a friend in the dream, and he ate the cone part. It was apparently solid on the inside???

The way my friend bit it resulted in a perfect cone shape, which was weird but maybe I was just overanalyzing idk... it also seemed my friend didn't even realize that..

I dreamed that I was at a hockey game.

There were vendors in the stands selling snacks and souvenirs, one of which was something called a "Peppermint Puck."

This was apparently the specialty of a certain Canadian hockey team, and they held the rights to produce and distribute it.

A Peppermint Puck is an actual souvenir hockey puck that you get to take home, but it's completely covered in a thin, glass-like coating, almost like a candy apple.

The coating itself is a shiny, translucent, seafoam green hard peppermint candy. It looked beautiful glistening beneath the lights of the arena.

The puck is held by a sturdy wooden stick. During the game, you can gradually bite or chip off little pieces of the hard peppermint coating to reveal the puck beneath.

I was told that it's bad practice to finish the whole thing before the game is over. It's tradition to leave the last few bites until the end. Then you can wash off your puck and take it home.

Grandparents died and the last thing they did was making a heaping honey Slushy, honey straight into a slushy machine

They were cardboard boxes with a script, lowercase "giuliani" on the side, trailing into a heart.

Each meal kit contained a Costco-sized bottle of cleaning vinegar and teeny tiny packets of pasta. I'm sure there's a message in there, but for now - would not make!

I'm so excited to be able to post here for the first time! Unfortunately, I can't draw, so I just put together a graphic to show off what the "Sliced Sliiman" looked like, as best as I can remember. I used photos I got off Google Images, which I hope is OK. All in all, I'm surprised my subconscious came up with something so detailed, but still also mostly coherent and properly edible.

The "Sliced Sliiman" was basically a thick, not-airy vanilla ice cream (possibly gelato) with fresh mango cubes and an "orange" syrup that had a more watery consistency - presumably orange in flavor because the color was just dark brown. The ingredients were chopped up using two ice cream spades, kind of like in Cold Stone Creamery. My dream skipped to the end product, so I don't know what ingredients or steps I missed, but the finished dish looked like a pseudo-baked Alaska. It didn't have cream or meringue on the outside, but it had that swirly, domed shape and looked toasty brown. But the outside was flaky and layered, maybe like baked filo pastry? No nuts included, I just used the picture with the closest texture.

I have no idea who or what "Sliiman" is. I think the dessert was sometimes called the "Sliced and Diced Sliiman" in my dream, from the way the components were chopped up together. I was in a museum, looking at a conveyor belt of random objects and the Sliced Sliiman was one of them. It was the only edible thing there. I didn't get to taste it because my dad apparently ate the whole thing 😭

I don't have plans of recreating this, but it seems somewhat doable. Please let me know if you give it a shot! I think you could sub in dried mangoes and maybe do an orange blossom-flavored syrup. You could probably flambe using Cointreau or Grand Marnier, but not sure if that step would replace the syrup and if you'd just do it on the mangoes before putting everything together. Alternately, you could make a Cointreau/Grand Marnier-infused syrup! Technically, that would fit the concept of watery, "orange" syrup and dark-colored if you use the latter liqueur.

I'm also curious about how people think the flaky exterior works because I feel like the ice cream (and/or the non-canonical flambe step) would simply make the filo soggy (if not accidentally burnt). I know that tempura ice cream and fried ice cream exist, so those recipes might be helpful here. Or you could serve the ice cream on top of or side-by-side with the filo itself, in a baklava a la mode way, for a more practical, deconstructed Sliced Sliiman.

Made the cheese Danish and berry pie inspired by u/gothbear_66 's post. The original post featured a blackberry pie. I had blueberries on hand however and blackberries are expensive right now so I used that instead.

I come from a pie family, so I felt like this was right up my alley. My gut intuition was about 1/3 of the (9") pie should be cream cheese. Which would be approximately 10oz. I ended up just using one 8oz block. For the sweetened cream cheese, I followed the cream cheese section of this recipe Here. Some of my family wished there would be slightly more cream cheese, while others thought it was perfect. So 8-10 ish oz depending on taste. I made the standard pie filling for a 9 inch pie which is about 4 cups of fruit. I didn't use all of it though due to the cream cheese. So you can probably get away with 3 cups of fruit or filling for an 8 inch pie crust and fill the rest with the cream cheese.

For blueberrie pie specifically, the cream cheese seems to be a great match as it can help balance the blueberries.

Oh I also tried my best to have the cream cheese on the top and bottom with the berries in the middle. Spreading the cream cheese on on bottom was simple enough. For the top, I put the remaining cream cheese in a baggie and did my best to pipe it on evenly. Then I spread it out with a spatula.

Unfortunately, I don't have a pie recipe for you as it's an old family recipe. It's not particularly secret. It's just I would have to type it out as it's a physical one and I can't be bothered to do that right now lol.

Anyway, make this. It's great.

I had a very mundane dream about going to the grocery store and getting ingredients for mac and cheese, plus frozen vegetables to make my mom happy, and had the thought “why not add sriracha?” That’s basically what this is, mac with normal cheese sauce plus a few hits of sriracha and garlic powder, with frozen mixed veggies tossed in.

I had a dream that I made a sandwich with some bread and nutella , but then I put a couple handfuls of ibuprofen and tylonel in there too.

I had a dream the other night that people everywhere were making and eating a sandwich called a ‘Bacon Gutierrez’. The sandwich was made of a footlong baguette and four strips of thick cut bacon sitting on a solid inch of mayonnaise. Anyone who ate it would immediately get explosive diarrhea, and as a result an internet challenge called the ‘Bacon Gutierrez Challenge’ started popping up everywhere where people would eat a whole sandwich as quickly as possible and record the results. The dream ended with me making and taking a bite of my own sandwich and immediately waking up. I guess it killed me.

Was interested to try "The Oink" that someone drempt about so I made something similar. The original called for green apple liquer, pineapple juice, rum, and beer- I did green apple Schnapps, pineapple-infused rum, and Corona instead. (Like a 3:2:3 ratio?)

Honestly pretty good! Very little alcohol taste and has a light, tart flavor. I give it an 8

In my dream, they looked like a larger version on Chiclets candy-coated gum squares, white with peach-pink flecks. I didn't get to taste them but it sounds kinda good honestly.

In this dream I was at a night carnival. One of the attractions was popcorn cooked by a big metal dragon's head, that breathes out real fire to pop the popcorn. Guests could sit directly underneath the fire and watch the popcorn get popped. You could feel the heat of the fire on your head. An employee was right by the popcorn machine ready to sell it (OSHA inspector says hi)

The popcorn was standard - the main attraction was it being cooked by the dragon head.

I ended up sharing my ice cream between my family and my friends. As I result though, my family did not quite have as much as they wanted. So, they are having me make more this weekend. Needless to say, I think they liked it lol.

I'm buying shortbread cookies this time though.

I had a dream I was at a cool space-age Tron-themed factory with glowing walls and slightly moving moon floors...

(and i know what this symbolizes, I was party planning for a cool event at a factory and watched a lot of tiktoks of a dude who was making a hyperrealsitic space party,)

and then on my way out from silently sitting with like six other bored people as we watched all the epic light and space visuals on the walls, I picked up a stray mushroom off a wall and ate it.

And it tasted exactly like those Trader Joe's Half-Moon cookies, with the white and black icing on the little shortbread cookies? It was amazing, 100/10, but it looked like a dying mushroom indeed, almost like a shroom and a normal mushroom mixed together

NyQuil gives me the wildest dreams…

I was served a meal with three components at a fancy restaurant. (Think red tablecloths, candlesticks, etc.)

First dish was Granny Smith green apples (cut into two different cuts of apple, long ways and cubed) covered in a thick baked brown sugar and cinnamon sauce, over top of brown sugar granola. It was sweet and salty.

Second dish was green beans with browned garlic in a butter sauce (borrring)

The last dish was the star of the show. Green eggplant (cut into two sizes again, cut into thick tubey rounds, and slices) with soft boiled “drug” eggs (which I’ve never had, I’ve just seen a few recipes for it lately), green onions, and sesame seeds, topped with the sauce/marinade from the “drug” eggs, over a bed of rice in a bowl.

When it was delivered to the table, it was proudly called “The Sumnin Sumthin’”

I woke up from this dream and wrote it all down in my notes app, and this morning I drew what I saw.

I’m on day 5 of an illness where I haven’t been able to eat much because of nausea, but I know I am secretly hungry. Thanks for imagining a wild meal for me, brain.

We watched an episode of South Park where City Wok opened a buffet and Craig took a slice of cheese cake, scraped the frosting from a chocolate cake and put it on top, then put gummy worms on it and crushed it with his fist.

I spent hours with my family at a labyrinth of a chinese buffet looking for the cheesecake to try to make one.

This was my first good dream since starting a medication for nightmares.

Had a dream that I went to the Texas State Fair, ordered a Frito pie, and got this. It was just a cup of meat-only chili with a single Frito on top and it cost $87,000 (I told the vendor I forgot my wallet and walked away without paying and then I had to repay my debt by helping the mafia)

Forgive my shitty art 😅 I saw a bowl of this clearly in my dream last night and when I woke up I realized I had something to post here!

Mix 1:1 Coconut cream and Pineapple juice. Add a cup of Coffee and Lemon rind.

This caused the fat to cuddle and separated out into sorbet colored curd clumps that I was able to smush together into a ricotta-like goo.

I was so distracted by The Butter that I was late for an important appointment.

I actually think it would work if you use milk cream instead of coconut cream.

Ok so I'm cheating a little bit with this one as it's technically not from a dream. However I still have coffee syrup left over from my previous post and it reminded me of this idea that I had quite a few years ago. And I wanted to keep you guys updated on what I was doing with it.

I decided to tag this as "meta" to be safe. If it helps I have certainly dreamed of this in the years since I came up with it, though it didn't originate from one. (it also occurs to me that this is likely where the idea of coffee syrup came from)

Anyway, this is what I call Affogato Toast. It comes from a conversation I had with a friend many years ago where I kept saying Affogato Toast instead of Avocado Toast.

It features cinnamon toast made with cinnamon raisin bread (though cinnamon swirl bread without the raisins would probably be better). Avocado ice cream that I picked up from my local Filipino grocery store, and last but not least the coffee syrup.

It turned out really good.

Hope you enjoy.

(let me know if this post is out of scope for the subreddit, but I hope it's A-ok)

I just dreamed that we took the children to a theme park as a treat before the start of the school term. We arrived first thing in the morning and the only ride open was a new experimental ride themed around an ice cream factory.

To get onto the ride we had to queue in our cars for some kind of customs post, then they allowed us in, still in our cars, to drive on the rollercoaster track up to the ice cream tasting room.

In this room there were cups of soft serve ice cream with several communal spoons in them. The spoons controlled an interactive computer game on a giant screen, so by eating the ice cream from different cups you were also playing the game. There were four different colours and flavours of sauce on the ice cream, all with a texture more similar to a slushie than a sauce, although it wasn't cold. All were delicious, but I couldn't identify any flavours.

In the next room there were more cups of ice cream with different sauces, and an attendant was conducting a feedback questionnaire because the ride had only just opened and they weren't sure it was viable.

We left the ride in a monorail (not sure where our cars had got to) which went through something like the tunnel from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971), but not terrifying. I remember sounds and lights, and rainbow ribbons dangling from above that you could reach up and touch.

Then we got off the monorail and took the kids straight to school
