Terence Hill bean stew, Homer sandwiches... the best movie dishes of all time

Who doesn't know them, the scenes in our favorite films and series in which the main characters eat the most delicious dishes? They make our mouths water! So, for us to enjoy these meals in real life, we have put together the recipes for the best film dishes of all time. Bon appetit!

Homer Simpson and his 10-foot sandwich: it's his best companion for weeks. And we agree, what could be better than a sandwich with a crunchy salad as a snack during your break?

We opt for the vegetarian option and top a crispy baguette with cocktail tomatoes, rocket, and Parmesan after we have spread it with a mixture of pesto and lemon juice.

In 'The Godfather,' Peter Clemenza describes how he prepares spaghetti. He says to Sonny Corleone: "Come over here, kid, learn something. You never know, you might have to cook for 20 guys someday." He's right and we're happy to have him explain how we prepare the perfect Mafiosi spaghetti.

"You see, you start off with a little bit of oil. And you fry some garlic. Then you throw in some tomatoes, tomato paste, you fry it you make sure it doesn't stick. You get it to a boil you shove in all your sausage and your meatballs. Add a little bit of wine. And a little bitta sugar. And that's my trick." - This is Clemenza to Sonny in 'The Godfather.'  Stick with these instructions and enjoy the spaghetti.

"My mama always said, life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." Forrest Gump is right about that. We become praline manufacturers ourselves and know exactly what we are getting: chocolate delicacies.

Melt the chocolate in a water bath, pour it into praline molds, fill in the caramel or praline paste, and pour over the chocolate. Allow for it to cool, press out of the mold, and enjoy.

Margot Robbie plays the villain with a heart, Harley Quinn, in the vicinity of Batman and the Joker. In 'Birds of Prey,' she becomes independent and fights alongside other strong women against the villains. We get some of their power with Harley's favorite snack, the egg sandwich.

Fry the eggs and bacon in oil, melt the cheese, and place them all on the sliced sandwich. Then briefly toast the bread on both sides in the pan with the remaining oil so that it absorbs the aroma.

At Hogwarts, the most beautiful banquets appear by magic in the truest sense of the word. With a warming butter beer, we bring the enchanting atmosphere from the world of Harry Potter to our homes.

We brew the hot magic drink with malt beer, milk, and cream and enjoy it seasoned with cinnamon, vanilla, and cocoa powder.

Waitress: What can I get you?
Harry Burns: I'll have a #3.
Sally Albright: I'd like the chef's salad please with the oil and vinegar on the side and the apple pie a la mode.
Waitress: [writing the order down] Chef and apple a la mode.
Sally Albright: But I'd like the pie heated, and I don't want the ice cream on top, I want it on the side, and I'd like strawberry instead of vanilla if you have it. If not, then no ice cream, just whipped cream but only if it's real. If it's out of a can, then nothing.
Waitress: Not even the pie?
Sally Albright: No, just the pie, but then not heated."
We don't have to be as complicated as Sally and enjoy our apple pie with fresh apples still warm from the oven with a scoop of ice cream.

"Ratatata... Hey, why is it called that?"
"What?"
"Ratatouille! It's a vegetable, isn't it? When you give a dish a name, it should somehow sound delicious! Ratatouille doesn't sound delicious at all. It sounds like a rat sounds delicious..."

Cut fresh vegetables (courgettes, peppers, and aubergines) into small pieces and sauté them in a pan with olive oil. Then add tomato pieces and fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, and sage) and let everything simmer. After a little while, it's Bon Appetit.

The cheeky and adventurous Pipi Longstocking is one of the most beautiful childhood memories for most people. With some delicious gingerbread, we bring a bit of Pipi's 'joie de vivre' into the house.

Pee rolls out the dough on the floor and her monkey, Mr. Nielson, helps her. We prefer to use a worktop, but we also cut out the gingerbread in funny shapes and paint them just as lovingly as pee. How about a Mr. Nielson shape?

The cheeky rascal from Lönneberga in Sweden was penned by Astrid Lindgren, just like Pipi Longstocking. He has been giving children all over the world ideas for pranks and fun activities since the 1960s.

We prepare his Swedish blueberry soup with blueberries, apple juice, lemon juice, and a little sugar. We can use whole blueberries or puree them, just as we like. Add a dab of fresh whipped cream on top and Michel's favorite dish is ready.

Vincent: "But I'd like to ask you one thing: When did you make that decision? While you were sitting there chewing your muffin?"
Jules: "Yes. I was sitting here, munching my muffin, drinking my coffee, and replaying the movie in my head when I experienced what there is only one word for: I had a moment of clarity."

We do it like Jules from 'Pulp Fiction,' but we bake the chocolate muffins ourselves first.

Mix butter, eggs, and sugar, and then add flour and milk. Now add chopped dark chocolate, baking cocoa, and vanilla, fill the finished batter into muffin cases, and bake them in the oven. Just the smell of the baked muffins already makes our mouths water.

The noisy food scenes in the Bud Spencer and Terence Hill films encourage us to cook. Their bean stew in particular is particularly memorable for film fans. A perfect meal for cold days!

Fry the bacon and let it thicken in the pan with the onions, garlic, beans, and chopped tomatoes. If you like, you can add pieces of meat or tofu for the vegetarian version. Season them well and eat it all straight from the pan with a wooden spoon, just like Terence Hill and Bud Spencer would do.
