I’m more used to preserving pages than preparing pastries, but there are a few edible highlights that still make my shelves feel a little warmer. In the early 1940s, the original Captain America comics have a scene where he grabs a hot dog from a cart in a wartime rally and gives it to a soldier—no recipe, just a quick “hero’s snack” that keeps morale high. In a 1991 run of The Amazing Spider‑Man, there’s a funny moment where Spider‑Man, after a fight, pulls a pizza out of his pocket and tosses it to a kid on the sidewalk, claiming it was “just a quick bite” before the next battle. And for something a bit more obscure, the 1968 issue of Batman’s “Cerebral” storyline has the Dark Knight using a bag of popcorn as a decoy during a stakeout—though not exactly cooking, it’s still a snack moment that makes the pages pop. If you’re looking for a recipe, the Spider‑Man snack is just a hot dog and a quick sandwich; the Batman popcorn is literally popcorn, so you can literally pop a handful. Those little food moments remind me that even heroes need a bite between battles.
