Have you ever played a game that featured some unique or interesting food and wished that you could make it at home? Here are ten foods featured in video games that you can make yourself. Some are easy; some aren't - but any of them will make your next LAN party (or evening on the couch in front of your console) a huge success.
The Cake is a Lie - from Portal
The cake may not be a lie, but it can be a lot of work. Still, when sitting down to another play-through of Portal, what else would you want to be eating than this? This cake is great - it's so delicious and moist.

Lava Cookies - from Pokemon
Okay. Seaweed on a cookie sounds crazy, right? Don't let that stop you. If you've jumped on the salty-sweet craze, you may just like these chocolate chunk cookies with their salty nori garnish. I hear they're a hit in Lavaridge Town.

Sea Salt Ice Cream - from Kingdom Hearts II
This salty-sweet treat is great in the summertime (or anytime). A bit tricky to make if you've never made ice cream, but it's as nostalgic for fans of Kingdom Hearts as it is for Roxas.

Healthstones - from World of Warcraft
Feeling a little low on health and inclined to reach for a sugary power-up? Grab a few healthstones before your next raid, instead. Delicious and nutritious! (And did I mention they're really easy to make?)

Rock Sirloin - from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Twilight Princess
Ever get a hankering for a nice, tasty slab of rock? Well, neither have I, but The Geeky Chef has an amazing take on this Zelda fan favorite - an easy-to-make beef wellington.
Goopy Carbonara - from The Sims
If you're not a complete noob in the kitchen, this recipe is easy-peasy. If you are, turn on your smoke alarm and start leveling up that cooking skill - this is worth all the anxiety (and the kitchen fires) you put your Sims through. Why shouldn't you have some, too?

Murloco Taco Supreme - from World of Warcraft
Are you sick of eating bear meat and hearing the irritating cries of Murlocs? Time to make some delicious fish tacos.

Caitlyn's Yordle Snap Trap Cupcakes - from League of Legends
Laying traps for the opposing team but don't know what to use as bait? There's nothing better than a delicious cupcake to lure them in. Served with kierpanda's other LoL-inspired hors d'ouevres, (Ahri's Charmed Onigiri and Amumu's Shrimp Lettuce Wraps), these perfect little nibbles will keep your team fueled in your next League match.

Yeto's Superb Soup - from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Why settle for a simple soup when you can make a good one? Better yet, why make a good soup when yours can be superb? This soup may take you a bit of time, but there's nothing better when it's cold outside.

Minecraft Pumpkin Pie - from Minecraft
Who's ready for some pixelated pumpkin? Half pumpkin pie, half cheesecake, this recipe is all delicious.
