Latest news about LEGO food

[tafkatb]

What @Roebuck is to animals, I am to food pieces, so I'm borrowing (stealing) their idea for a new thread, which I will try to keep up to date whenever I spot new ones. Fortunately a lot of food in the LEGO world doesn't require new molds, usually just new prints/colors or clever little brick-built items.

The latest ones I've spotted: a heart-shaped waffle in Heartlake City Park Café, which I believe brings us to a total of four different waffle prints:

And, also on a heart tile, a peach print in a couple Monkie Kid sets (finally my purist custom T. S. Eliot minifig can be complete!):

Anything else anyone has noticed in new or upcoming sets?

Never saw the waffle prints before ... may have to look into these! Nice new topic, thanks for creating it!

Even though it’s a sticker, that waffle on the sign is nice as well. But man, those heart waffles are great! I don’t look much at Friends...I would’ve totally missed these. They get some cool prints(like these tacos printed on quarter round tiles).

Cool thread idea too. I’m a bit partial to food as well. Before the local second hand LEGO store here closed, I would dig furiously for cookies. I managed to find about two dozen in the few years I started looking. 

Browsing this year’s Friends sets, 41407 Olivia’s Shopping Play Cube has a 1x1 round tile that looks to be some sort of tart with a heart in the center.

There hasn't been much on this front for a while, but the latest update is an accidental byproduct of the Minions delay - a 1x2 tile printed as a peanut packet, originally for 75547 Minion Pilot in Training, is instead making its debut in 21324 123 Sesame Street!

80107 Spring Lantern Festival features a 1x1 round tile with tang yuan print:

This one almost slipped past me, because at first I thought it was reused from 80101 Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner. But that was just me misremembering - the original was a 2x2.

This set also features a little NPU with the posing bar from the DC CMF as a straw - the build contains exactly zero new elements, but I thought it was pretty clever:

Donuts seem to be the actual heroes of the new Modular Police Station (10278). Both the crook and the bird steal them on the official pictures!  
The set includes new 2x2 donut tiles - used as decor, but I can easily see them used to MOC some kind of larger cake.

Yeah, my first thought was the giant donuts sold in the Springfield area of Universal Studios!

In further donut news:

This new print is listed in the inventory for 41429 Heartlake City Airplane, but official set pictures show the original variant. Similarly, a new milk carton is listed in 123 Sesame Street and a couple Friends sets:

These are both likely to be a gradual changeover, so might only show up in later production runs of these sets. This makes me curious to see which donuts will actually be in the modular police station. I'd better snap up a few more of the older ones while I still can - I have almost enough to completely cover a DOTS bracelet in donuts!

Oh! That new donut looks much better to me. The old one only really works on a white background (in my view, anyway). 
 

Thanks for this thread. Very practical way to keep up.
