I'm making a diner themed level in a video game and I don't have diners in my country. Seems to be a United States only thing, so I'm asking here for help. What's some common foods that you'd find in a diner that I can put on the menu in the video game?
I already have cheeseburgers and pancakes, I need one more food. I want something that I can 3D model myself though, so give me several suggestions and I can pick something that is both common/recognisable and easy to model and texture.
Update: Thank you everybody for all the suggestions! I'm going to go with spaghetti, and a regional fucked up diner food. Feel free to keep discussing or suggest more menu items. I might add a fifth but it's unlikely.
They will generally have foods for different times of day
Breakfast like eggs, toast, bacon, orange juice, pancakes, hash browns
Lunch - burgers, sandwiches,
Dinner - anything fried and battered.
Desserts - milkshakes, ice cream, pie. Pie is a big one. Pie with ice cream on it
You can also Google a Denny's menu for a general list of the common orders at diners.
A good example of a diner is the one from The Shape of Water.
Seconding the milkshake, that's definitely a classic. Chocolate and vanilla are both easily recognizable, and if you look up "soda fountain glass" they're usually served in those with a straw in diners
also malts
Ooh this is really helpful, thank you!
What goes in the pie? I've heard that United States pies are different from what I'm used to.
I'd say apple, pumpkin, cherry, and blueberry pie are the most common pies
there are some weird old school ones like strawberry rhubarb and sweet potato
Rhubarb makes a fantastic pie
this is a standard slice of apple pie
damn that looks good ngl
Thank you! So pies are all desserts I assume?
theres pot pie which is savory, but 99% of pies are dessert (in the US)
Thank you!
Color-wise the most visually pleasing is red for cherry. Other flavors would get lost. Show a slice, not the whole thing.
Strawberry Rhubarb, Apple, Cherry, Chocolate Creme, Pumpkin custard, lemon meringue, key-lime (a small sweeter lime from florida) meringue,
