Tabletop Roleplaying Games as Food

The following arose from a discussion with my brother, as well as with friends and other discussions.

• Hero System is a set of ingredients. You make your own tabletop RPG out of the tools provided.
• Everything you make in the system is constructed out of basic items that you put together, then label. One beam attack with a rate of fire of 3 and 32 uses might be an AK-47 and the other might be a Wand of Ray of Fire, but the difference at the end of the day is that you've named one "AK-47" and the other "Wand of Ray of Fire". Or in food terms, different spices.
• GURPS is a menu at a classy diner. You might want a burger; but then again, you might want a 6 oz. Porterhouse centre-cut steak with a side of potatoes with gravy.
• You can choose anything you want, as long as it's listed in a GURPS book (in the menu or as an option for an item). Just don't expect anything you don't have a GURPS book (menu) for, unless you can convince the GM (chef).
• D&D is a fast food restaurant. You can get a burger, fries, drink, and something in soft ice cream. Pickles? Onions? Tomato? A few minutes later and you're eating; and sometimes (a lot of the time) you just want a burger and done.
• You know pretty much exactly what you're getting, and it'll probably be exactly the same as the last dozen times you want.
• Sometimes you just want a burger and fries without all this messing around and long wait before you actually do anything.
• Mutants and Masterminds is a sandwich shop. Whole wheat, sliced beef, lettuce, mustard and mayo will make you pretty much the exact same sandwich as anyone else who ordered the same, and it'll be made pretty quickly, too. And you can order all sorts of options. But it's pretty much all sandwiches (comic-book superheroes), all the time.
• They're good sandwiches, though. 
• Lots of toppings.
• D&D 4th Ed. is a prepackaged meal from a grocery store. Everything you get is right there on the label. If you want something else, pick a different package. Cheap, quick, and everything will taste more or less like chicken.
• Nothing wrong with chicken.
• Fate Core is a cookbook labelled "The Zen of Cooking."
• You're not sure what to do with it, but if you can figure it out, it'll probably be pretty cool.
• Mini-games that are focused on exactly one thing, like playing scheming nobles in the treacherous court of a dissolute Emperor of a decaying Empire are like Cluck-Fried Chicken.
• You're getting exactly one thing when you go there.
• Your options include variations on that one thing.
• But if you like that one thing, it's pretty much the best option for that thing.
• Most of the time, though, the book (address) will just sit on your real or virtual shelf collecting literal or metaphorical dust.
• Until you gets your cravings...
