On Yoshi’s Snack Island in the Nintendo World theme park in Japan, you'll be able to grab yourself edible Koopa Troopa shells. The edible versions are made of baked calzones (folded pizzas) stuffed with cheese and noodles. They look just like the ones in the Mario games, only these shells contain zero turtle - only deliciousness!

Crisps are pretty much a universal favourite and now a whole restaurant in London is dedicated to them. The crisp restaurant, which opened this week, offers a choice of crisps made from rare potato varieties, how fancy! But it's not all savoury there is a choice of sweet and savoury dips. Crunchy lunch anyone?

Cereal cafes! Someone had the genius idea of taking our crunchy morning food and turning it into a whole cafe. This one in London offers more than 100 varieties of cereal from all around the world, including America, South Africa, France, Australia, South Korea and the UK! Pass me the milk...

Well, it doesn't get much weirder than this... A toilet themed cafe from Indonesia! Customers sit on the loo and eat out of toilet pans. So, what's on the men-poo? They only have one option and it's brown meatballs floating in thick soup. Apparently it's part of a campaign to encourage the use of clean toilets. Hmmmm...

This is much cuter. A Hello Kitty themed restaurant has opened in Shanghai in Mainland China, serving cat shaped food and drink.

A burger restaurant in Australia has created Pokemon-inspired burgers featuring Pikachu, Bulbasaur and Charmander. Designed to appeal to Pokemon Go fans, the Bulbasaur burger has lots of leafy greens, Pikachu has lots of cheese to match his yellow colour and Charmander has spicy salt salsa.

Ever thought the service is bad in a restaurant? Well, this place in Singapore is replacing waiting-staff with flying drones! Drone-waiters whizz above the heads of diners on paths mapped out by a computer program, finding their way using infra-red sensors placed around the restaurant. Watch out as you stand up!

One of the classics! Cat cafes are now all over the world, and who wouldn't want to eat while surrounded by some cuddly kittys... it's paw-some!
