    Season two of The I Love Lucy TV show where she's devouring the chocolate candies coming down the conveyor belt. First it's slow, then fast, faster..I have never forgotten that for some reason..

    The scene is somewhat gross, but I will never forget story about the pie-eating contest in Stand by Me.

    The lobster scene from Annie Hall. "Annie, there's a big lobster behind the refrigerator. I can't get it out… Maybe if I put a little dish of butter sauce here with a nutcracker, it will run out the other side."

    The puns come quick and fast throughout the episodes of Arrested Development, but you may have missed the names of 2 restaurants: "Miss Temple's" where you go to skip synagogue on friday/saturday nights, and "Skip Church's" for eating brunch and missing Sunday church.

    The dinner conversation at the Italiam restaurant in "The Natural" when the old-time, wise coach tells Roy Hobbs, "I don't know how to pronounce it, but it sure tastes good," or words to that effect. I have the same reaction when I try Burmese, Thai, and other national foods!

    "Like Water for Chocolate" when Tita scrapes her chest with the thorns from the bouquet of roses her suitor gives her and suddenly is overcome with the need to cook with its petals. She lovingly grinds the rose petals with a mortar and pestle to add to a dish of roasted quail that she hand caught, killed and defeathered. The recipients of this mesmerizingly succulent dish are forever changed, and this is my favorite scene.

    Will Ferrell is dad with mom and daughter at the dinner table. No talking. All you hear is silverware clinking against the plates, then one of them says something like 'how was your day' and they all erupt. "I AM A MIDDLE MANAGER!!!! I AM AN IMPORTANT PERSON!!!!!!"

    One of my favorite movies, Pretty Woman has the best food scene. Julia Roberts is all dressed up and going to a high class restaurant with Richard Gere. She goes to eat the snail and picks it up with tongs and it goes flying across the restaurant. Hilarious scene!
