Start for freeA Whovian Feast Through Time
The universe of Doctor Who is not just about time travel and battling Daleks; it also features some delightful culinary moments that have captured the hearts (and stomachs) of fans. From Jelly Babies to Jammie Dodgers, the food items in Doctor Who are as iconic as the TARDIS itself.
The Challenge of Not Eating
In a special episode, fans were challenged not to eat while being tempted with various dishes from the Doctor Who series. This included everything from a tantalizing banana daiquiri, famously referenced by the Tenth Doctor as a party favorite, to Chinese takeaway, a preferred snack of the Twelfth Doctor. The challenge was made even more exciting with an appearance by Millie Gibson who plays Ruby Sunday, hinting at mouth-watering treats like Jelly Babies and Jammie Dodgers.
Iconic Dishes and Their Stories
Banana Daiquiri: This drink takes us back to the French Revolution with its delicious blend. It's not only tasty but also non-alcoholic, making it perfect for all ages.
Chinese Takeaway: A staple for many, including the Twelfth Doctor. The featured dishes were Beef Chow Mein and shrimp chips - simple yet so beloved.
Jelly Babies and Jammie Dodgers: These sweets are not just treats; they're part of Whovian lore. The Eleventh Doctor famously used a Jammie Dodger to trick Daleks!
Fun Facts Sprinkled Like Edible Ball Bearings!
Speaking of edible ball bearings (yes, they're real!), did you know that David Tennant (the Tenth Doctor) is married to Georgia Tennant, daughter of Peter Davison who played the Fifth Doctor? They met on set! Also, Peter Capaldi was such a fan before becoming the Twelfth Doctor that he used to send fan art to the show's club hoping to be its president.
