Nerd food

Today's "Avatar" food doesn't have a specific episode reference, but dumplings of various kinds have made their way into both ATLA and TLoK because of the heavy influence from Asian cultures. Dumplings is a food chosen initially from the Avatar Wikia's listing of Air Nomad food, and then solidified and expounded upon by the fact that the Air Nomad society takes much inspiration from the high altitude, spiritual culture of Tibet, where vegetarian momos (dumplings) are a common food.

In last week's "Legend of Korra" episode (s.2, ep.10), while in the Spirit World, Korra is separated from Jinora, becomes a frightened child (it's symbolic), & is found by dear Uncle Iroh! It was so awesome to see him. And Iroh, being the fount of wisdom and peace that he is, ushers the scared little Korra to a wedding reception where he serves her cake and tea.

It's said that the taste of sizzle crisps is distinctly bacon-like with the typical Fire Nation hotness. So I decided to make this snack out of for realsies bacon. And then made it like candy. And then added the hotness. So here you go! Fire Nation sizzle crisps, AKA sugared baked bacon, powdered with…

(image from Anime Food Gifs) Food plays a major role in the Studio Ghibli animated film "Spirited Away", not only by adding to the richness of the Japanese spirit culture depicted in the film, but also by adding layers of meaningful storytelling through food symbolism.
