I love characters using food to bond or connect, food as comfort both physical and emotional, food as an expression of love. I love seeing people share food with others, experiment with it, and delight in it. I like seeing food as a special memory between people and characters spending time preparing food together as a form of closeness.


Fandom and character(s): Taken Movies (Bryan, Lenore, and Kim).

I rewatched the triology and was struck by how much of the Mills' family time is centered on food. They discuss Paris in a restaurant; Bryan meets Kim's boyfriend over milkshakes; Bryan and Lenore flirt over dinner; Bryan is exonerated in Lenore's death thanks in part to warm bagels. Food-related plots are almost canonical.

I'd love precanon family meals or times where Bryan cooked for the woman in his life. Meals where Bryan and Lenore forge a truce for Kim's sake after the divorce but before canon events. Bryan and Kim reconnecting once he retires over ice cream. Meals shared between Bryan and Lenore set in the time where Lenore is conflicted about Stuart. How often has Lenore come by for flirty dinners or talking things out breakfasts? Birthday, anniversary, or holiday meals.

Fandom and character(s): Highway to Heaven (Jonathan Smith and Jane Thompson)

Note: I know food-related prompts for this fandom are a bit trickier given that canon establishes angels don't strictly need to eat, but you're welcome to either ignore that, or just have them hanging out companionably while food is happening.

In what ways is food a part of their love story? What dishes are particularly special to them? I'm good with more gen takes such as Jonathan offering Jane help with the cooking during Keep Smiling, or Jennifer and Jonathan sharing more intimate meals after they get together as a couple. Breakfasts in bed, beach picnics, snacks shared in front of the fire, preparing meals together.

Fandom and character(s): The Millionaire (Any)

There are so many interesting food-related ways to spend a lot of money. Maybe the beneficiary opens a grocery store in a food desert, or buys out their favorite restaurant and gives the employees better salaries. Or a beneficiary who just really wants cooking lessons and hires a renowned chef as a tutor. Or maybe they take a culinary trip around the world or across just a continent sampling the best everyone has to offer. Or perhaps they do something more outlandish, such as buying lifesized chocolate statues or swimming pools full of jello. Selfless, sensational, silly, or sweet, it would all be fun to read.
