OOhh! Fine Wines - what a great title!
Glad that you want to join in the fun categories titles group! I am by no means offended, exactly the opposite, I am flattered. Hope the titles make it more fun for you.

Some good looking categories in your challenge. I'll be looking forward to seeing how you fill them up.

I googled scifi foods, and came up with Lembas. I thought that was more of a fantasy food, so I turned to movies, and the obvious solution came up. :)

Took me a while to get photos matching everything. Could not find stock photos of fairy bread, for some reason. stock photos of "fairies" and stock photos of bread, but not the combo desired.

I think my biggest challenge was classics. I couldn't decide what food was classic, ended up going with Italian pasta.

Now, I have to think of some books I don't plan on finishing this year, to start next, haha.

Love the theme and happy that I came across this thread and the great food pictures just before sitting down to dinner. Those pictures made me hungry!

As much as I love food and cooking, all I can say is, "Why didn't I think of that?" for my categories.

Great pictures and some really interesting categories as well. I am amazed at how creative people on these thread are!

Oh man, I forgot I started this.

Um...well. I picked up the new Penguin clothbound editions of Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, A Woman in White, Picture of Dorian Gray and Emma. In addition to these English language classics, I've painstakingly chosen translations of Journey to the West, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Outlaws of the Marsh and Dream of Red Mansions.
