Bringing video game food to life one medieval turkey drummie at a time

While often delicious-looking, video game food is unrealistic: unspoiled, health-restoring apples aren't really found under smashed trash cans, despite what people in Portland think. Finally allowing you to eat half as well as Haggar: Gourmet Gaming.

From a London food and game lover, this weekly updated Tumblr imparts actual, actionable recipes on the pixelated cuisine after which you've always lusted. Pause for a minute and check out these highlights:

The Bleeder: This insane burger's a clone of the Grand Theft Auto IV Burger Shot menu pic, and monstrously stacks two 1/4lb patties, two cheeses, four sauces, and mad bacon, meaning you can actually get bacon on your a** without murdering a hooker.

Health Potion: Inspired by the fantasy genre's iconic health serum, this sexy heft of cranberry gin, amaretto, lime, tonic, and vodka more specifically mimics the red ones in a game named Diablo, which means it must somehow involve car-murdering even more hookers than Grand Theft Auto IV.

The Cake Is A Lie: Their take on Portal's devil's food cake (yes, it was named after a famous baker who murdered hookers...from scratch!) is stuffed with vanilla cream cheese, smothered in a chocolate ganache, and pretty much makes everything else on here look like trash...so expect everyone in Portland to already be crawling all over this site.

ExhortWorried about the degree of difficulty for making some of this fantastically nerdy ish? Fear not, as most of the stuff is pretty easy and the dude's even got a game-style level of difficulty indicator atop each recipe at GourmetGaming.co.uk.
