Adventure Time
The weird and kind Land of Ooo, where Jake the dog loves to cook — and his bacon pancakes became a whole song.
Adventure Time is a cartoon set in the post-apocalyptic but endlessly good-natured Land of Ooo, following Finn and Jake through absurd yet heartfelt adventures. Food in the show is often simple and homey — bacon and pancakes made by Jake became one of the show's recognizable images, a symbol of a lazy, cozy morning between friends. The series plays with food in a comedic way throughout, from an entire kingdom made of ice cream to the odd sweets of the Candy Kingdom. Here are recipes in the spirit of the show — simple, homely, with a touch of absurd fun.
