![]() I do not know what madman has a hotdog with only mustard and not also with ketchup, but each to their own I guess. My Weenyworm was made from a hot dog bun, veggie hot dog, lettuce, onion, tomatoes, gherkins and mustard. That said, what a hell of a hot dog it was. It was also the easiest of the bunch, essentially just being a hot dog with eyes. This is the last of the ones I deemed successful. ![]() The legs, which struggled to lift the poor thing’s weight, were curly fries. It is wrapped up in tin foil and has two onion ring horns. I made my Bunger out of a burger bun, veggie burger patties, lettuce and a bit of cheese. While it can’t move, it just feels like it is ready to leap at you. The way it chases after you like a dog eager to see its owner is heart-warming, well until it yeets you off a cliff. The Bunger is such an adorable Bugsnax and probably my favourite. A tip for anyone that wants to make their own, take the googly eyes off before you bite into it, that is a mistake you only make once. I genuinely felt like I was murdering my beloved pet. One thing I did find out early is that having to eat a sandwich once you have given it a face is tough. The Sandopede is made of a fresh baguette, sliced tomato, lettuce, gherkins, cheese and veggie ham slices. This hand-crafted masterpiece got my hopes and expectations high for the whole experiment – it is a shame things just went downhill. The phase beginner’s luck has never been more true than with my attempt at a Bugsnax. I can only apologise for what I did to the Charmallow. I have listed these in the order of how well they turned out. Although, that didn’t stop me devouring them – they all tasted amazing. It was those googly eyes staring into my soul. While I used meat substitutes, part of me did feel like I was being a little hypocritical calling myself a veggie and eating a fake Bugsnax. One thing that made the whole experiment feel weird, apart from the fact I am creating a sandwich with eyes, is that I am a vegetarian. On another occasion, I also forced my office floor to evacuate because I accidently melted a plastic food container in the communal microwave – there was an investigation and everything to find the culprit. As an example, I once attempted to make beans on toast and forgot to toast the bread. I will give a quick disclaimer, I am not a chef and have as much skill at cooking as a three year old with an Easy-Bake Oven. In an attempt to bring food to life and experience what it would be like to eat a fabled Bugsnax, I recreated a few of them. It is a little weird and I’m sure people would be hesitant to go to a restaurant if they risked walking away with a lasagne for a neck, but it is part of the game’s charm. Anyone that eats one finds they can morph a part of their body into that Bugsnax. These are the oddly cute looking amalgamations of food and animals, well I guess bugs, that fill the whole of Snaktooth Island. Taking centre stage were the Bugsnax themselves. It’s kooky and yet deep story was enjoyed by so many. Maybe that is simply the reason.īugsnax quickly became a beloved gem when it launched last year. Animators spend a lot of time ensuring their images are perfect and do not have to worry about misshapen buns, melted ice-cream or discoloured lettuce. I do not know why drawn food looks so good, but Charles Spence, an expert on gastrophysics, claims we think food tastes better if it looks delicious. ![]() I know I am not alone and sure many people watch the cooking in a Studio Ghibli film with saliva dripping down from their mouth, channelling their best Homer Simpson impression, mmm food. I have often felt that animated food looks tastier than what I imagine it tastes like in the real world. Whether it is Skyrim’s sweet roll, Kingdom Hearts’ sea salt ice cream or Portal’s elusive cake, food often looks positively scrumptious in video games. Video games are filled with a lot of food.
