I also have to admit this happens a lot. Especially if the show is based in NYC where I am originally from.
This afternoon I had four drumsticks per Cindi's Oven Barbecued Chicken in the recipes section here and not an hour after I was done, I was watching an episode of Law and Order and they stopped off at a coffee kiosk (the one that looks like a closet) and immediately I wanted a coffee light and sweet with a buttered roll. I don't even take my coffee that way, but because it was in NYC I felt nostalgic and I wanted it.
Don't get me started - one of them orders a Gyro or cream cheese and lox on a bagel, I'm drooling for days.
I was watching the movie waitress last night (my favorite) and when they got to the part where Old Joe orders well done French fries with melted Swiss My husband and I got a craving. We had eaten dinner around 6 pm and this was around 8 pm. Normally I would ignore the craving and move on but last night was an exception. The diner is a 5 minute car ride so I went there and got 2 orders of fries but with melted mozzarella and a side of gravy. each of us had our own fries but I am not into the gravy so I put ketchup on mine.
Yeah...that's called the power of advertising!
I don't remember ever getting up and driving somewhere to go get some food. But I've lusted over it. And maybe went to my pantry to look for something good, when I wouldn't have otherwise.
I don't even need a TV show or movie---just a simple commercial that I'm not even paying attention to will make me want something. What can I say I am easily manipulated when it comes to food---that's the only type of marketing that works on me and they don't even have to try!
There are several Chef themed movies on Netflix, sometimes with subtitles, sometimes not. They are really good, and make me want to try so many different foods...Pakistani, French, etc. My point is, don't pass up a movie in a foreign language because you will soon forget the subtitles are there.
So there is a movie called, "Waitress?" Is that the one with the cop and the waitress? I'll look for that. I think what you are saying is, you had nachos, with French fries, instead of tortillas; and gravy, instead of cheese...at 8pm. Wow, sounds good. This sounds like something from MN or WI.
It came out in 2007, and Kerry Russell is in it. She's a waitress at a pie diner and has an affair with her doctor because she is miserable in her marriage. Did not have tortilla's or nachos. What we both had was French fries with melted mozzarella and gravy on the side. In NY they call them disco fries.
I have gotten several cravings for food when watching the Sopranos and one year for Christmas my mom bought me the Soprano's cook book. I have been wanting to make Carmella's Lasagna which has sausage in it and fresh basil leaves under the cheese.
One time I was drinking a bit too much wine while I was watching a cooking show. To make a long story short, I ended up going to the grocery store, buying a bunch of ingredients, and cooking. Fortunately, it was a fairly simple recipe.
