If one thinks about David Lynch, it’s impossible to go past the countless coffee and cherry pie references in Twin Peaks.
When we ran a giveaway of the new David Lynch Signature Cup Coffee that we’d received at the ACMI Shop, we asked our audience to nominate their favourite food moments in film. The answers were so good that we just had to share them with you.
