TIL anime food scenes make fans want to cook at home

I keep seeing posts in anime groups where people talk about the meals in shows. Fans share recipes for dishes like the rice balls from Pokemon or the bread from Attack on Titan. It's interesting how watching anime can make you hungry and curious to try cooking. My buddy made the omelet rice from Toradora after we chatted about it online. This trend adds a fun layer to how we connect over anime. It's like the shows give us ideas for real life kitchen projects. Do you have a favorite anime dish you've tried to make?

Oh wow, my friend got so into the food from Food Wars that she tried to make that transformed potato dish. Let's just say her kitchen did not look like the anime, and we ordered pizza instead.

Does failing at anime cooking deserve this much drama?

That "kitchen did not look like the anime" line is so real. It makes you wonder, how much of the fun is in the trying versus the actual result? Like, is a failed Food Wars dish still a win because you got to play with the idea?
