What will we eat in Heaven?

[JAL]

Well I think God must like red meat. The Bible speaks multiple times of the pleasing aroma in his nostrils.

Probably true, but I suspect that His pleasure mostly derived from a Real Presence. When Israel was faithful, outpourings of the Spirit (the divine Word) permeated the burnt offerings and atmosphere in modalities such as divine Smoke (see Revelation 15:8 for example). Therefore what the Father most enjoyed, in my opinion, was the sweet fragrance of His Third Person, ascending up to him carrying the (literally exhaled) praises of His people (Revelation 5:8).

When Israel was NOT faithful, the sacrifices weren't pleasing to Him at all, in fact He considered them a stench to His nostrils.

"He said, "Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them"—though they were offered in accordance with the law." (Heb 10:8).

Maybe he likes the act of sacrifice to him instead of the food.

That wasn't intended to be overly serious.

I figured you were jesting, but thought I would say that for the staunch vegetarians here that would think that people have a barbecue to give offerings to God in the OT.

 

[JAL]

I wasn't sure if you were joking. After all, one day Abraham had the Lord come over to his place for supper, baked a loaf of bread for Him, and fired up a beef steak for Him (Gen 18).

So it seems the Lord likes red meat just fine. I thought maybe you were alluding to that event.

Jajiangmyeon, kimchee, kimpop, turnip greens. sliced tomatoes, corn bread, Pie, mash, and liquor (parsley "gravy" made with eel broth). Dunno about meat for the pies and eels for the liquor, though; sounds kinda barbarous, dunnit?

 

[Jipsah]

LOL! It will be imitation but indistinguishable from real meat. There's no death in Heaven. LOL

Good, then I can have bulgogi, ham to go with my greens, beef for the pies and eel broth to make liquor. Excellent!

And lovely.

I imagine there are buffets in Heaven where the chicken isn't dry, the mashed potatoes bowl is always filled, and I don't have to wait in line.

 

[Xeno.of.athens]

I really like roasted beef with roasted vegetables and heaps of gravy, a nice red wine to accompany the meal, and good sweets to follow. So, I sure hope that any heavenly buffets offer good roasts!

Here on Earth there's all manner of delicious food, lovely recipes, great chefs, and life can be quite enjoyable with good food and wine for one's meals. But what's the cuisine like in Heaven?

God gave man and animals plants for food as "His plan" for this planet - as we see in Genesis 1.

There is a good chance we go back to "God's plan" when we get to heaven and when the saints are placed on the New Earth as well..

Taking the life of an animal because "it tastes good" was not the Genesis 1 plan God set up. Probably not going to happen in heaven either.

We could synthesise food, meats, chicken, pork, beef, lamb! All very yummy with roasted vegetables.

analog meats that are actually made of vegetable protein where no animal dies, no animal suffers??

Manufactured meats could be made from cleverly manipulated chemical elements as long as one's chemistry is clever enough.

 

[Cornelius8L]

Maybe “food” is not that so attractive by then. Imagine an animal that doesn’t know how to cook will enjoy all raw meats. But when that animal turned into a human, he will start to enjoy cooked foods with spices and despise some raw meats. So, when we change into heavenly form, our sense of taste might change and earthly food will be like, “eww…” LoL

We will eat Christ Himself eternally.
