I am pretty sure everyone as a kid tried to sneak away from the dinner table to go play video games or would wolf down their veggies as fast as they could so they could get back to the latest level of Goldeneye. It seems some people have been inspired enough to bring the game to the table, as seen in the pictures above from SlashGamer, where some creative individuals have crafted some tasty snacks and veggie platters in the style of their virtual heroes, from the old-school (Kirby!) to the contemporary.
I have to say, though, I am a little sad after scouring the Internet for hours just to find that no one has come up with a Sonic the Hedgehog cake.
