10 years of "Twilight": the vampire-proof menu


Exactly ten years after the release of the first film in the saga, many are wondering if the dishes offered in all five chapters of the franchise are (only) based on human blood. This is not so and here we explain why

Vampires love blood. They smell the smell, taste its essence and appreciate its acidity. In this the Cullen family is an exception, a unicum in all the species. In fact, at home, they drink only animal blood, convinced that a life far from homicide can assure him of salvation, happy and trouble-free cohabitation in a quiet town like Forks, between the cliffs and mountains of Washington State, where it rains almost all year. It is here that the vampire Edward and the human Bella meet for the first time, the intertwining looks and the cheeks approaching, but not too much, careful not to awaken in him the thirst for blood that throbs, hot and dense.
It happens exactly ten years ago, when the first chapter of Twilight arrives at the cinema, enjoying a global success. Hence the passion between the two protagonists, divided by that very thin line in which love could turn into tragedy, into an appetizing dish to be consumed immediately, before the liquid congeals. But are we really sure that the saga does not propose more "edible" alternatives for the public?

In reality it happens often, and in all five films. Like when Edward himself, unwillingly, agrees to taste a slice of pizza and a piece of his wedding cake in the fourth chapter of the epic. The sacrifice is not cheap: the Cullens, like all vampires, have no appetite and the only thing that can quench the hunger pangs is blood, in whatever form it is present. This is why he and Emmett often go hunting for grizzly and mountain lions, the animal species that they prefer to be able to refresh. Speech, however, that certainly does not apply to Bella, at least until (Spoiler!) do not turn into a vampire too. Before that, at the home of his father Charlie, the girl carries on absolutely common eating habits: the cereal soaked in milk in the morning for breakfast, the steak with the potatoes preparing for the first time in the new house and the blueberry muffins looking stupid during the first visit to the Lycanthropist headquarters, sworn enemies of the vampire race.

For the rest, on the first date with Edward, the girl is content with a glass of lemonade, without being able to consume anything else. A little 'for the shyness towards the rider who likes it a lot and a bit' for an appetite that will learn to appreciate only with time. Like when, during a romantic dinner in Port Angeles, he ordered a plate of ravioli with mushrooms just because they were the first thing he read on the menu. If there is someone who does not disdain the food is, instead, Jacob, the man-wolf in love with the girl and ready to do anything to conquer his place in the territory. Memorable scene in which, on the final of Eclipse, feeds on a whole cow to placate his throat. Of his own clan, also Seth does not go down light: the delicious omelette with cheese and cinnamon that devours in New Moon, just before Bella discovers the existence of the vampire killer wolves, it is the most vivid proof. For the rest it seems obvious that blood is the main ingredient of the characters' diet Twilight, even if something tells us that Edward himself would not disdain a good plate of steaming spaghetti. Always that to prepare them is his Bella and not Jacob.
