Season 2 of HBO’s Game of Thrones premieres this Sunday and so to get the ball rolling on my hit lists for this series, here’s the Fictional Food Hit List for book 1: A Game of Thrones . I eliminated some duplicates and split some of the dishes by courses, keeping most basic foods together as special meals like Catelyn’s breakfast after the attack to come up with 75 food and drink references.
