For some reason, creators seem fond of designing settings that are literally made out of food. Indeed, stemming from the [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Oral]] [[Oral Tradition|Tradition]], it is clearly [[Older Than Print]]—and possibly much older.
Obviously, these sorts of settings tend to have a rather [[Magicant|whimsical or silly]] nature. [[MST3K Mantra|Don't spend too much time thinking]] about where that river of milk is coming from, why it hasn't spoiled, how those pastry buildings stay up, or how that moon made of cheese could form. Counts as an [[Eldritch Location]], but [[Denser and Wackier]] than most.
A fairly popular subtrope is to focus on sweets, probably in part because the concept of a land made of confectionery already has [[Sugar Bowl|a certain amount of stock symbolism invested in it]]. [[Cartoon Cheese|Cheese]] is also popular. Older variants, stemming from times when food shortages were commonplace, tended to have more variety in the foodstuffs. Its inhabitants, if there are any, might be [[Anthropomorphic Food]] themselves.
Video Game creators are especially fond of using this trope, particularly in [[Lighter and Fluffier]] games.

Not to be confused with the level where ''you'' [[Womb Level|are eaten]].

{{examples
== [[Advertising]] ==
* A recent{{when}} catfood commercial showed a cat wandering through this trope's feline incarnation, a land flowing with milk, fish, birds and other kitty treats.
* The "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpfdejj1m7c Land of Dairy Queen]" commercials from [[The Eighties]], featuring a landscape of chocolate mountains, hot fudge rivers, and... ice cream... trees? Oh, and watch out for [[Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies|falling peanuts and strawberries]].
* The ad for the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cffi7vkQZcI Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch], a Burger King-themed take on ''Big Rock Candy Mountain''.
** The National Cattlemen's Beef Association has the Land of Lean Beef, with mountains made out of steak.
==
* ''Cross Epoch'', the official ''[[Dragonball Z]]''/''[[One Piece]]'' crossover one-shot manga, ends with {{spoiler|everyone meeting the dragon Shen Long in the "world of confection", an island with mountains made of cake and rivers of tea (among other things), for the best tea party ''ever''.}}
* In [[The Movie]] for ''[[Yes! Pretty Cure 5]] GoGo'', the characters visit the world of sweets by way of a giant oven.
* The Junko Mizuno version of "[[
* ''[[Madoka Magica]]'': Charlotte's labyrinth is made of desserts. Well, the parts that aren't hospital themed are. [[Darker and Edgier|Like everything in Madoka Magica]] this is '''not''' [[Played for Laughs]]. {{spoiler|[[Wham! Episode|In fact]], Charlotte is the [[Knight of Cerebus]].}}
* [[Toriko]]'s world seems to be half this trope, half [[Death World]].
* In ''[[One Piece]]'' proper, the setting of the Whole Cake Island arc is Totto Land, a Level Ate archipelago in New World, ruled by Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors. Originally, it was believed to be only Whole Cake Island, with a cake theme, but Whole Cake was later revealed to be one of 35 islands that also follow a dessert theme, with edible architecture and everything. Given her [[Sweet Tooth]], this is fitting. Known islands thus far include Chocolate, Jam, Nuts, Candy, Biscuits, and Milk. Given the titles of Big Mom's governors, it is presumed there are also islands with themes of Butter, Gelato, Whipped Cream, Beans, Juice, and Fruit.
== [[Film]] ==
* In ''[[Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs]]'', a remote fisherman's town is gradually turned into a Level Ate by a machine located in the sky that turns rain clouds into food clouds.
* ''[[The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl]]''. The protagonists find themselves floating down a river of milk on a giant chocolate chip cookie.
* Mentioned in the Literature section, but expanded upon in the Tim Burton remake film. Willy Wonka in ''[[Charlie and
* ''[[Wreck
== [[Literature]] ==
* ''[[Charlie and the Chocolate Factory]]'' has Wonka building a palace out of chocolate at the request of an Indian prince. There's also the Chocolate Room in Wonka's factory, which features a river of chocolate and has plants and grass that are actually candy.
* Some of [[L. Frank Baum]]'s earlier work contains Lands of Food, and some [[Land of Oz|Oz locations]] are also food, e.g. Bunbury, not to be confused with Bunnybury.
* In the ''[[Xanth]]'' novel ''Ogre, Ogre'', one [[Dream World]] that Smash must track the Night Stallion through is a Level Ate.
* A short story from the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' short story collection ''Short Trips and Side Steps'' featured the Doctor and Romana celebrating K9's birthday on a world apparently made entirely from candy. How this came to be is never fully explained.
* ''[[Discworld]]'' examples:
** Mono Island in ''[[The Last Continent]]'', where foods such as chocolate, cheese and cake grow on trees. {{spoiler|It turns out that this is because the island is the testing ground of the God of Evolution.}}
** The Discworld also has large lard deposits under Überwald. And raw treacle deposits (caused by prehistoric sugar cane forests trapped in the geological strata) under Ankh-Morpork. However, most of Ankh-Morpork's treacle comes from toffee beds (in the Ramtops somewhere, IIRC).{{verify}}
** In ''[[The Light Fantastic]]'', Rincewind and Twoflower take shelter for the night in an abandoned gingerbread cottage. Apparently, it was once a popular architectural style for witches, but fell out of fashion due to the impracticality of, for example, cotton candy doormats.
* In Lucian of Samosata's ''[[True History]]'', the sailors visit, among other outlandish places, an island with rivers of wine, and an island made entirely out of cheese.
* The children's book ''[[Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs]]'' (and the movie it inspired) are about this. The actual landscape isn't made of food, but (as you might guess from the name) the weather most certainly is. "Restaurants" lack roofs, and are mostly just nice places to sit while waiting to be fed by the sky.
== [[Live-Action
* ''[[Nick Arcade]]'' has the Food Frenzy level from the video zone where a food fight occurs and the player has to dodge the edible projectiles and the gym teacher while picking up three textbooks.
* Many, many of the obstacles on Nickelodeon's ''[[Double Dare (1986 TV Show)||Double Dare]]''. Some of the physical challenges qualify as well.

* The obscure Gershwin song "In Sardinia (On The Delicatessen)".
* The song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYtgpSDST10 "Sanji No Yosei"] (Three O'Clock Fairy) from the [[Sailor Moon]] S movie.

* In one old ''[[Garfield]]'' comic, the protagonist falls asleep and dreams he's in "the Land of Large Breakfasts" where he eats a giant pancake. He wakes up, and says it was a great dream... Then he turns around and exclaims, [[Marshmallow Dream| "Where's my blanket?!"]]
==
* [[Older Than Print]]: Cockaigne, in a piece of medieval folklore, is an imaginary land of ease and pleasure, including such things as raining cheese; pigs that wandered, already roasted, with knives to make carving easy; cooked fish that jumped out of the water; streets paved with pastry; houses of barley sugar. The streets would be ''hell'' on cart wheels and horse feet. And visa versa.
* ''The Big Rock Candy Mountain''
** Also, Garrison Kieller's "Out In The Catskill Mountains": a parody version about cats' beloved "land of milk and salmon", where the birds are found right on the ground and the mice run very slowly.

== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* ''[[Candy Land]]''. The title is [[Not Hyperbole]].
* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (Tabletop Game)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]''
** The Madolche originally seemed to live in a place like [[Candy Land]], as their cards, like Madolche Chateau, suggest. However, it was later revealed that they are actually [[Living Toys]].
** The Nemurelia archetype features a young girl named [[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Dreaming_Nemurelia Dreaming Nemurelia]] who dreams of a candy world where she sleeps atop [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/The_Sleeping_Beauty_Tower_of_Nemurelia The Sleeping Beauty Tower of Nemurelia] (a giant stack of pancakes), protected by her friends, [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Nemurelia%27s_Dream_Defender_-_Couette Couette] (a vanilla monster) and [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Nemurelia%27s_Dream_Defender_-_Oreiller Oreiller] (a chocolate monster).
* [[Gary Gygax]] wrote a [[Self-Parody]] module of ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' called ''Castle Greyhawk'' intended for playtesting (which sadly, was never published) that had many silly things including a level like this, with monsters like dough-ppelgangers and Poppinfarsh the Dough Golem.
* Act 2 of ''[[The Nutcracker]]'' takes place in the Land of Sweets, where the Nutcracker Prince is king. Also called Sweetieland in the Matthew Bourne version.
== [[Video Games]] ==
* The [[Trope Namer]] is "Level Ate", the [[Incredibly Lame Pun|eighth level]] of ''[[Earthworm Jim (video game)|Earthworm Jim]] 2'', which is made primarily of meat, with cheese, french fries, eggs, and eating utensils also to be found. {{spoiler|There's also a secret level called "Totally Forked", which, as its name implies, is [[Spikes of Doom|much heavier on the forks.]]}} Oh, and did we mention the boss of the level is a fire-breathing steak named ''[[A Worldwide Punomenon|Flamin' Yawn]]''?
* The original ''[[Populous]]'' had a cake-themed world that was [[That One Level|insanely difficult]].
* ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' examples:
** ''[[Super Mario World (video game)|Super Mario World]]'' has several levels with [[Edible Theme Naming]], but Chocolate Island appears to be made of chocolate, including boiling hot chocolate pits where other worlds would have lava. By the same token, Choco Island and Choco Mountain from the ''[[Mario Kart]]'' games qualify.
** Sweet Sweet Galaxy and "Bouncing Down Cake Lane" in Toy Time Galaxy from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''.
** ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' reuses the trope with Sweet Mystery Galaxy, a level based around a spotlight that revealed hidden platforms. And the contents of the candy bars you're walking on.
**
** Also the Sweet Dream board in ''[[Mario Party]] 5''.
** The Waffle Kingdom in ''[[Paper Mario (franchise)|Paper Mario]]'' is never shown, but implied to be like this from [[Theme Naming|the names]], and most of the inhabitants we see look like food.
** ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' has the Luncheon Kingdom, which is an Italian food version of Level Ate combined with a [[Lethal Lava Land]], the cheesy volcano acting like a giant crock pot that creates the pizza and pasta that make up the landscape. Also, the Seaside Kingdom is a group of islands in an ocean of carbonated Sparkle Water. [[Frothy Mugs of Water| (As in, Bowser needs ''that'' for his wedding reception rather than champagne, given the rating.)]]
* ''[[The Lost Vikings]]'' features multiple candy-based levels.
* ''[[Zool]]: Ninja of the Nth Dimension'' levels 1 and 3 are both made of food.
** And in fact, level 1 is full of [[Product Placement]] for Chupa Chups lollipops.
* As ''[[James Pond]] 2: Codename Robocod'' takes place at [[Santa Claus]]'s castle, a sizable fraction of its levels are some form of this trope, usually the "sweets" variant.
Line 101 ⟶ 106:
** The game begins in a cheese area and ends in an ice cream plateau, progressing through custard, yoghurt, butter, blue cheese and a squicky green area (which happens to be the largest) referred to in-game only as "slime".
** And to top it all off, the game also contains a fruit gun and giant fruit armour.
* "Food Fright" in the N64 game ''[[Rocket: Robot on Wheels]]'' [[Hailfire Peaks|combines this]] with [[Big
* ''[[Castle of Illusion]]'' and ''[[World of Illusion]]'' both have areas that are made out of cookies and candy suspended in a sea of milk or cream.
* ''[[
* Palette's castle level in ''[[Graffiti Kingdom]]''. Elevators are giant pancakes and on the stage there are giant bottles of milk, salt shakers, ice cubes, snowmen, and the main areas are completely made up of shades of pink.
* The Candy Chateau in ''[[Rayman]]'', which is also (amusingly and unfittingly enough) ''the final level and the contrasting villain's hideout''. However, the level's boss arena is a radical departure from the stage itself (It is a generic castle room with no trace of this trope).
** ''[[
***These levels return in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' and now include patches of ground made of cake which can be tunnelled through via Murfy's bottomless stomach.
* The secret "good" ending of ''[[1213]]'' {{spoiler|replaces the disaster that reduced the Earth to a seemingly-lifeless toxic wasteland... with one that turned it into a world made of candy, where the lead character rules as hyper-metabolic god-king for the rest of his life.}}
* [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon]] of ''[[Psychonauts]]'' is the Meat Circus, A literal combination of Raz's own nightmares from his circus upbringing, and another character's nightmares from his father's butcher shop. As can probably be guessed, the level is very macabre.
* A few of the maps in the ''[[Worms]]'' series are food displays.
* The second level of ''Wayne's World'', a [[Macro Zone]] where the obstacles and enemies are donut shop food/supplies.
** Both ''[[Wayne's World]]'' games made by Nintendo had a level where you fought donuts and cups of coffee.
* Everything except the walls in ''[[Pac-Man]]'' can, under the right circumstances, be eaten by either Pac-Man or the ghosts.
* The [[Silliness Switch|Silly]] setting in ''[[Transport Tycoon]]'', which features candy floss forests, sugar mines and toffee quarries, among other things. (It's also [[Fake Difficulty|rock hard]].) Considered a [[That One Level]] by fans of the game.
* Speaking of Tycoons, ''[[
** Or just build a lot of food shops.
* Kylin's realm in ''[[
* The [[Game Cube]] RPG ''[[Baten Kaitos]]'' (the first one) had a town composed entirely of [[Gingerbread House
* Hansel and Gretel's stage in ''[[Katamari Damacy|We Love Katamari]]'' has two missions: one is to destroy a [[Gingerbread House]], and the other is to sweep up over a thousand candy wafers that form a mosaic.
** A mosaic of [[Ludwig Van Beethoven|Beethoven]]. Or sometimes a giraffe, or a dog, or a parrot...
* The ''[[Futari wa Pretty Cure]]'' [[Too Long; Didn't Dub|GBA adaptation with a really long name]] featured a dessert-themed world and a fruit-themed world. If you count the kitchenware-themed world, ''60% of the game is about food.''
* The first stage of ''[[
* ''[[Bible Buffet]]'' simulated a board game in the vein of Candy Land (but with action stages involving food that tries to kill you), only skewing more toward the "main course" side of things.
* One level of ''[[The Simpsons]]: Bart and the Beanstalk'' had Bart jumping around on oyster crackers in a bowl of soup.
Line 126 ⟶ 133:
* The Gourmet Submarine Castle in ''[[Ganbare Goemon|Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon]]''.
* The "Chocolate" theme in ''[[Spore]]'''s terraforming kit. One makes a chain of mountains shaped like chocolate pieces, another sinks gigantic trays into the ground.
* The top-down arcade-style shooter ''[[Tyrian]]'' was in love with this trope. The game used fruit and its associations with a mythical religion in the game as a [[Running Gag]], with fruit dropping from some dead spacecraft, religious leaders complaining about fruit floating in space, and escalating to an absurd final level that was ''entirely made of fruit'', where you confront the enormous fruit-ship armada of the [[Church Militant]]. And it gets even weirder, for some levels of the fourth episode revolve around various floating [[Let's Meet the Meat|body]] [[I'm a Humanitarian|parts]]. As in eyeballs, ears, hearts, and brains, not ''those'' body parts. Also, the most powerful ship available to the player in the original 1.0 version of the game was a flying carrot that shot ''exploding bananas''.
* Level 3 of ''[[Parodius|Gokujou Parodius]]'', which parodies a level of ''Gradius 3'' by replacing its sand dunes with delicious pastry.
** Level 4 of ''[[Parodius]]'' for the [[MSX]] is the Ma(i)ze Cake Star, where [[Deadly Walls]] are made of sponge cake.
* ''[[
* ''[[
* Cheese Land in ''[[
* The Sweets theme from ''[[Animal Crossing]]: City Folk/Let's Go To the City'' allows you to transform your house into a candy paradise, with a bed that looks like a cake, tables that look like flan and shortbread cookies, and more. The associated walls even look like the inside of a [[Gingerbread House]]!
** Also, in all the games, the "Fruit" series contains several pieces of furniture that look like fruit: Pear-shaped dressers, an apple-shaped TV, a pineapple bed, orange- and lime-shaped chairs, and a table that looks like an enormous half of a watermelon.
* ''[[Pikmin]] 2'' includes one underground area called the Glutton's Kitchen, which is full of donuts, candies, and the like.
* While not ''entirely'' made of food, [[Banjo-Tooie's Cloud Cuckooland]] featured at least one sky-island made of Jell-O and a giant trash can filled with foodstuffs, not to mention a giant wedge of cheese containing flying spiked oninons and an atmosphere so stinky it's actually toxic.

* ''[[Panic Restaurant]]'' for the NES. The whole point is that you fight your way through a restaurant full of mutated food for enemies.
* While there are platforms made of stone to be found, the Golden Temple of ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' has many platforms made of strawberries, blueberries, cherries, cinnamon sticks, oranges, and, of course, [[Trademark Favorite Food|bananas]].
* One of the possible floor designs of the Item World in ''[[Disgaea 4:
* Victoria's Laboratory from ''[[
* Obscure Famicom title ''[[Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa]]'' has no less than ''three'' stages like this - a candy/cake word, a vegetable world, and a milk/cheese world. The crossover game ''[[Wai Wai World 2]]'' has the same sort of food-themed level design in World 5, along with Upa himself.
* The Meat Circus from ''[[Psychonauts]]'' combines this with [[Circus of Fear]]. This unique mental world is the result the brainwaves of two characters - Razputin and Coach Oleander - becoming intertwined thus combining Razputin's memories of growing up in his family's circus, and Coach Oleander's traumatic memories of his father's butcher shop. As Oleander himself puts it, “My memories were bad enough. ''This'' is just ''gross''.”
