LES MISERABLES
Loaf of bread
What represents pre–revolutionary, poverty–ridden France more than a (single) loaf of bread? Just don’t let Jean Valjean steal your breakfast, lunch and dinner.
OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL
The apple
The lit student’s quintessential biblical symbol, the poisonous apple, takes on a more technicolor and slightly less serious note in this prequel to “The Wizard of Oz.”
Hey, at least they’re better than the mushy apples in Commons.

DESPICABLE ME 2
Chip hat
A giant sombrero made of tortilla chips… that contains guacamole in the brim. You never have to get up to dip a chip again.

SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK
Crabby snacks and homemades
When it came to capturing the blue collar, suburbs–of–Philly vibe that pervades this sleeper hit, David O’Russell really hit it home with the food. Canned crabmeat mixed with canned cheese spread is never a good idea, but homemades, or homemade egg noodles, are exactly the kind of comfort food we’d like if we were recovering from a mental breakdown.

THIS IS 40
Paul Rudd’s cupcakes
The perrenial yuppie snack, this dessert is about as exciting as the movie was.

THIS IS THE END
Milky Way
“I went out this morning and specifically bought this Milky Way to eat after my party. It’s not weird; it’s my special food and I like it.” Too bad we all want a piece, James Franco.

DJANGO UNCHAINED
White cake
As if we didn’t have any more reasons to avoid this undoubtedly calorie–ridden dessert, we can all feel even more ashamed about eating “white” cake thanks to the epithet’s racially-charged connotations. Thanks, Tarantino.
Shh… the “D” is silent.
WORLD WAR Z
Human flesh
We probably went too far with this one.
