All Fringe Blog: Walter Bishop's Deli (1/4)

By thecortexifan (@thecortexifan)

PART 1

It all started when a Fringie came over on a Saturday evening to watch the re-run of 3.09 Marionette. We decided it should be “Walter food” for dinner. So we had chicken strips (we don't like wings) and strawberry milkshakes.

But that wasn't enough. My mind was being silly and crazy that day.

Walter was talking about “milk that doesn't go bad, and cheese” and later he licked the (supposedly) ashes of Amanda Walsh.

So... I created the “Marionette plate”, mostly for “show and tell.“

I cut up cheese, put milk in this little pitcher, used cocoa powder for the ashes, and added some Red Vines, because... ;)

I think it was a success because from that moment on, every time we would get together and watch Fringe, we would try to recreate the food items Walter mentioned or presented. Red Vines, strawberry milkshakes were almost always part of out get-together's.

We also had lots of floats. We used root beer, Dr. Pepper, Pepsi or orange juice, vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt, added whipped cream, sprinkles and our straws were Red Vines.

Pretty much the first time we see Walter, he mentions food.

1.01 Pilot

Walter: "They have this horrible pudding here. Butterscotch pudding on Mondays. It's dreadful."

Peter said it best.

2.10 Grey Matters

Peter: "Every time Walter asks for a piece of food..., he's trying to recreate a moment in time to help him remember."

Let's dive in to some more of Walter's creations. I tried to list them in the order as they appeared on the show, not necessarily in the order I made them.

2.07 Of Human Action

Walter: "Oh, don't be ridiculous. You were abducted. Of course you need crepes!"

I'm not going to tell you recipes for crepes. You can find recipes online that serves your diet. After you baked them... let loose and be creative.

We boldly used bacon, Nutella, whipped cream, Red Vines, sprinkles, and fruit. Every one of them just tasted delicious.

As I mentioned in the beginning that our first Walter food dinner included chicken strips. Those were from BK, I think. Later for one of the "Fringe" parties I held, I made my own.

2.22 Over There Part 1

Walter: "Double breaded for a big crunch. It's so good. Tastes just like on our side. It was Wednesday, 1983, when I happened to identify the last of the 11 secret herbs and spices."

Well, I just used pepper. I bought a few chicken breasts (depending again on the number of people you will have) and cut them in pieces. I left some natural. For the others I used an egg, crunched up french fried onion, and pan fried them.
