Why would a kid be eating anything like that whatseover, just as Thanksgiving dinner is being served? Especially because the conversation later turns on the issue of how important it is for him to eat the dinner his mother spent three hours making?
Or maybe she spent three hours on the ambrosia, and the normal eight to nine hours on the turkey and side dishes?

Once again, you and I see eye to eye, latjoreme. I was the one who chose that as my number one question for Pierre Tremblay. (Though I must say I'm VERY glad others had more profound questions for him.) :)

I love the way it is called "the substance" Maybe we should write it in capital letters, like The Shirts ;)
Big secret: to me it looks very familiar. Strange only because of the occasion. It looks like yogurt or curd with canned fruit (especially peeches) in it. Very commmon for breakfast, but for Thanksgiving dinner? ???

Loved how you phrased this and I absolutely agree with you. What in hell did Ang Lee think when he filmed this scene? A few days ago I saw an interview with Heath (on the German DVD; it has 84 minutes of extras, compared to +/- 40 minutes on the English one), where he talked about Ang's microsopic attention to even the tiniest detail.
Where was Ang's attention regarding Bobby's food bowl? Or was it some misunderstood kind of comic relief?

Great question!
I remember as a kid getting so frustrated at meals that were served with such ceremony and fuss that you sat in your dang chair for what seemed like an eternity before getting to eat. (Even without a stud-duck fight, LOL)
So maybe Bobby got a little appetizer to appease him through the waiting period. (As a Southerner, my guess is that it is ambrosia, or some variation thereof)

More importantly, where was Ang's attention regarding Bobby's accent? I remember someone posting (I think it might have been Flashframe)....how do you mate a cowboy from Wyoming with a barrel riding gal from Texas and end up with a kid who sounds like he is from Scranton, Pennsylvania? I still laugh and laugh at that line...

Here's the quotation from Pierre's interview:
QUESTION #9
What the hell was Bobby eating?
PIERRE'S RESPONSE:
I heard this might be the most hotly discussed question on the board so I'll be careful to be clear...
Bobby was eating cereal with pieces of fruit in it. I think it was peach but I'm not one hundred percent sure on the fruit.
Maybe Bobby slept late, and was just finishing his breakfast.
