Quick links: Alponian Chowder | Bonzabeast Stew | Victory White and Black Cheesecake | Verdict

B.E.N. Makes a mean cheesecake! This movie is the most underrated Disney movie in my opinion. It has good music, an exciting story and great visuals. It makes me want to be a pirate now. So go swab your poop deck and get ready for some alien meals from Treasure Planet. Note: Almost all of the food was truly alien in nature. So we created some suitable alternatives to some of the recipes that were more “down to earth.”

Foods Shown

• 4 powdered sphereoids
• blue yolk sunny side up eggs
• jellyworms (maggots)
• alponian chowder with extra selaran seed (beef chunks)
• bonzabeast stew (tangy and robust-shrimpy things weird veggies, eggs)
• weird plum thing
• pear thing
• cracker thing for morph
• Potatoes
• Oil and acid drink
• Layered chocolate white cheesecake

Alponian Chowder

The first bunch of food is shown at the beginning of the movie at the inn. We didn’t make all the food shown because…well…it doesn’t exist here on earth. So we took some liberties and made the dish that Doctor Doppler ate. Alponian Chowder.

Bonzabeast Stew

Here’s another food that was shown. John Silver was cooking this when we first met him. Bonzabeast stew.

It kinda looks like a shrimpy stew, with an eyeball coming out. At least we got a description by the doctor of the taste. Tangy and Robust. We tried to make a stew that fit that description.
