We're at our wits ends trying to come up with something to equal past dinner/cocktail party themes, and one of the few ideas we've had is "Lost" (y'know, the TV show), with a dish for each major character.
Some ideas include:
Locke: Pulled pork (he's the hunter after all)
Jin: Fish of some sort (I'm not an uni fan)
Claire: Something with a peanut butter sauce
Hurley: Fried chicken
Sayeed: I can come up with some sort of middle eastern dish, perhaps kabobs with sharpened bambook skewers?
Sun: Something Korean with a lot of fresh herbs and veggies, like Bi Bim Bap?
Shannon and Boone?
Charlie? Something lip-'smack'ing?
I know I left a couple out too, but it's too early to think.
What is patriotism, but the love of good things we ate in our childhood?
