Since the newly-created world of Narnia was seething with life energy, the piece of candy grew into a tree, which bore fruits similar in appearance to dates but with a taste that reminded the children of toffee.

Notable food moments The Magician's Nephew After defeating the Telmarines, the Old Narnians were treated to an especially lavish feast, which included meats, fruits, and many different kinds of wine. īy contrast, when a victory had been achieved or a mission had been completed, the food served afterwards was typically delicious.

Īt Aslan's Table on the Island of Ramandu, some of the more unique delicacies included turkeys, salmon, pineapples, and tomatoes.
