Editor’s Note: My favorite movie food is Dots. That is not the kind of movie food Ben is talking about here.
In the Disney film The Sword in the Stone, Arthur’s stepbrother, Sir Kay, devours approximately 5 pounds of chicken drumsticks by simply sticking the whole drumstick in his mouth and sucking off the meat.
