Parasite

The film never names the noodle brands on screen, but everyone in Korea recognizes them. "Ram-don" is the English subtitle's invention for jjapaguri — Chapagetti and Neoguri instant noodles boiled together. Bong Joon-ho has said the translation was meant to evoke "ramen" plus "udon" for an audience that wouldn't know either brand name.

Moon-gwang's peach allergy is Ki-jung's weapon, not a meal. The scheme against the former housekeeper turns on rubbing peach fuzz near her face to fake a tuberculosis scare — cruel, clever, and built entirely around fruit nobody actually sits down to eat as a course.

The birthday garden party was catered, not cooked in-house. Mrs. Park brings in an outside company for Da-song's surprise party, with the Kim family — now fully embedded as staff — running service instead of the kitchen. Beyond the birthday cake itself, the spread is background dressing for the film's final act rather than individually identifiable dishes.

Food is never neutral in this house. Every meal in the film marks a status line: who cooks, who's served, who eats standing in a flooded semi-basement versus who eats at a hand-set table with china that costs more than a month's rent.
