For eating / watching DVDs with food
LWW wouldn't be hard. Tea and Toast with sardines with Lucy and Tumnus (I don't remember if they had anything else in the movie. In the book I know they ate more. Turkish Delight with Edmund, Fish and chips with the Beavers, Toast with Edmund in Aslan's camp (They might have other food in that scene too.)
PC is a little more challenging. Apples with the children, Soup when Caspian wakes up, Nuts when Pattertwig suggests that they collect nuts (unless of course there are people present with nut allergies. Then it would be dangerous for them (sorry about the side note, but I'm allergic to peanuts and have found that many people don't think about how dangerous it can be for people with nut allergies to even be around them)). Although they don't show it in the movie, they did eat some of the bear Trumpkin killed so you could have bear then. Also, in the book they had a huge feast after the battle. So they main course could be taken from the description in the book and eaten after the battle. Or you could have fish while they are floating on the river.

the movie has them preparing for food with the beavers,
and I believe they eat prior to the explanation of who Aslan is and the prophecy.

I guess here would be a perfect place to eat fresh caught fish, that have been freshly cooked- as there is no better way to eat a fish, then one who was alive just half hour prior to you eating it.


(of course this would be rather difficult so a bought fish would have to do)

[Cymru]

My daughter loves to eat Turkish Delight during all the Narnia films, but we often make stew or something cozy and in keeping with the palette of an English pub when taking anything by C.S. Lewis or Tolkien. The site of people in plaid wool makes me instantly crave potatoes and red meat. The BBC scene in the Beavers house in which they dine on a huge platter of boiled potatoes and fried fish always makes my daugther say, "Hmm, I think we need some of that!"

My question is: how did the apple crunching go with neighboring moviegoers? That would be much louder than popcorn!

[7chronicles]

I started to gnawed at the apple a little bit, so when I bit into it, it wasn't very loud, If it was loud then hopefully they thought it was the sound of the apples in the movies

[Lady of the Green Kirtle]

I know that Lucy eats a lunch with Coriakin the Magician after disenchanting the Dufflepuds. I remember it was very English. *Gets book* Coriakin says "I have tried to give you food more like the food of your own land than perhaps you have had lately." The menu: a piping hot omelette, cold lamb and green peas, a strawberry ice (Yum! You could do strawberry ice cream. But you would have to have a cooler or it would melt before this scene!), a lemon-squash drink during the meal and hot chocolate afterword.

Maybe you could substitute Gyros for cold lamb . The book also said they had (live) chickens on the boat, you could get some KFC!

[Peepiceeka]

Something that the Beavers also ate with the Pevensies was some sort of "Gloriously sticky marmalade roll, piping hot." I don't really know what to compare that with...perhaps something like a cinnamon roll with marmalade inside of it? Or maybe something similar to a cake. Fish 'n Chips is really easy to make, or you could most likely purchase it at a restaurant depending on where you live. Tea is probably the universal drink that would be good to go with almost all of the books, but creamy milk is what the Pevensies drank with the Beavers during their meal.

What I Would Eat For Each Movie:
MN: Apples, with tin-foil around them
LWW: Turkish Delight, or for watching it again, toast
HHB: An omelet
PC: Apples, or coffee (that's what the Pevensie boys wanted in the book)
VDT: Strawberry Ice-Maybe could be substituted for a Strawberry Icee, which they usually have at theaters.
SC: Um, you could have venison, but I would get sick at the thought that I'm eating it while they find out it used to talk. Blech. You could... oh! Lollipops! Giant ones.
LB: Sweet fruit.

But I don't think my theater allows us to bring food. Oh, well, when I get the DVDs... But I guess I can still do the Strawberry Ice(e).

[AJAiken]

There's one other meal in VDT that people don't seem to have mentioned. Right at the end Edmund, Lucy and Eustace meet a lamb who invites them to eat a breakfast of fresh fire-roasted fish. I can't see that going down well in a cinema, though ...
