Scott Pilgrim vs. Food

There sure is a lot of food in Scott Pilgrim. As someone who's only social activity is eating, I've enjoyed how often Bryan Lee O'Malley's characters are eating or talking about food.

"I'm obsessed with putting food in stories," says O'Malley over email. "Too many stories where people don't take the time to eat."

For a recent Fed dinner hosted for author O'Malley, I cooked three courses of pork, wanting to distance ourselves from a vegetarian meal I made, several years ago, for him and his wife Hope Larson. I might have cooked food from the series. But there were too many options.

Compiled here is every panel of Scott Pilgrim in which someone is eating or talking about food (not drinks).

Volume 1:
Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life






Volume 2:
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
















Volume 3
Scott Pilgrim & The Infinite Sadness



















Volume 4:
Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together



























Volume 5:
Scott Pilgrim vs The World
















Volume 6:
Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour






A reprise of one of my favourite panels, from my favourite volume:


O'Malley adds, "I also like when people have to pee in stories, which has unfortunately "caught on" a little more." I will not be compiling a post of pee-panels.
