For Limburg, where the exhibition is held, we chose potatoes and asparagus (in our case out of season, which still suited the scenario).  In the Continue scenario we talk about ruthless borrowing and re-localising world cuisines.

 +  * 1/2kg (Adirondack) blue potatoes ([[http://imavex.vo.llnwd.net/o18/clients/urbanfarm/images/Potatoes/All-Blue-Seed-Potatoes.jpg|image]]) 
 +  * Butter and/or olive oil to taste 
 +  * (Himalayan Pink) Salt ([[http://www.healthambition.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/shutterstock_109150328.jpg|image]]) 
 + 
 +Marinated Asparagus 
 +  * 200g thin green asparagus (tips) 
 +  * 1/2 lemon 
 +  * 1tsp (smoked) olive oil 
 +  * Tamari soy sauce (to taste) 
 + 
 +Potato puree: Boil potatoes in the skin. Once soft, let cool enough so you don't burn your fingers, then peel the skin off. Mash potatoes with salt, butter and/or olive oil until they become relatively smooth. It's ok to have some small chunks that aren't completely mashed. Let cool and reserve in the fridge. 
 + 
 +Asparagus: Peel asparagus (if needed) and blanch for a few minutes until the asparagus softens a bit but is still bright green and firm. Take out of the water an place the asparagus in ice water for a few minutes to halt the cooking process and keep the green colour. In the mean time make the marinade: juice half a lemon, add soy sauce and olive oil, stir to combine. Brush the asparagus with the marinade and reserve in the fridge until needed.  
 + 
 +Sushi: Spread a thin layer of potato puree on a nori sheet place a couple of asparagus in the middle and roll sushi using a [[http://ladykatiecook.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/how-to-roll-sushi-with-bamboo-sushi-mat.jpg|bamboo mat]].

 + 
 +Sourcing: The ingredients came from the [[http://tanclub.org/|Tanclub]] organic shop,  [[http://www.ateliersdestanneurs.be/nl/node/289|Des Tanneurs]] biomarket and Delhaize. 
 + 
 +==== Vegetable jello ==== 
 + 
 +Corn is one of the most dominant plant species in the world, thanks to industrialised agriculture. It was therefore a "must" for a menu from the Continue Scenario. We paired it with chilly sauce, as it is often done in the globalised "tex-mex" cuisine. Adding the suspiciously artificial texture of jello and the "mini melba toast", this dish plays with the cliches of agribusiness, food industry and domestic bliss.

 +==== Rainbow pasta salad ==== 
 + 
 +(Artificial) food flavouring and colouring, so archetypal for the Continue Scenario, is best illustrated in "rainbow" pasta: brightly coloured and strongly flavoured pasta that would brighten every Continue-kid's birthday party. We combined it with fruits and vegetables, making the salads comfortingly sweet and sour, to soften the first shock of eating neon-coloured foods.

 +==== "Green" tea ==== 
 + 
 +Similar to the Rainbow Pasta, this tea has a shockingly bright colour. Its name is deceptive: it is not actually green tea, but green coloured lemongrass powder tea. We bought the tea at a market in Siem Reap, Cambodia, where the seller assured us that the powder was genuine, without any additives. But without a transparent supply chain, we will never know. The dish illustrates the proliferation of green-washing (pun intended!) in globalised food markets.

 + 
 +Witlof leaf stuffed with cheesy potatoes and wild herbs 
 + 
 +This dish is designed to get all the food groups in one bite. Vitamins, proteins, greens, carbohydrates all combined in cheesy, gooey goodness enveloped in crispy raw leaves and sprouts. Wholesome, green and full-flavoured to convince even the biggest sceptics that healthy food (contrary to popular belief) can taste delicious.

 +==== Pumpkin velouté ==== 
 + 
 +The inhabitants of the Discipline Scenario eat seasonally, but flavour their food with (home)dried and smoked herbs and spices. Pumpkin is for many of us a symbol of autumn: warm, smooth and sweet, like the early evenings in a (heated) home, listening to the rain and wind are ranging outside, while we're cosily protected by our well-insulated windows. Even if its colour suggests warmth, according to the traditions of Ayurveda pumpkin is a cooling food. We therefore added some spicy smoked paprika powder to increase the soup's heating capacity.

 +  * 1 medium sized pumpkin or butternut squash 
 +  * 1 large sweet potato 
 +  * 4 cloves of garlic 
 +  * 1 Tsp coconut oil 
 +  * 1 Tsp dried oregano 
 +  * 1 bunch of fresh thyme 
 +  * 1 vegetable stock cube 
 +  * 1 tsp mild smoked paprika 
 +  * 1/2 tsp spicy smoked paprika 
 +  * 2 tsp sweet paprika 
 +  * salt and pepper to taste 
 +  * sour cream to taste 
 + 
 +Soup: Cut the pumpkin and sweet potato in small chunks. Crush garlic and fry it on low heat in coconut oil. Add the paprika powders and oregano and coat pumpkin and potato with the oily spice mixture. Boil water and cover the vegetables. Add stock, 1/2 of the thyme, salt and pepper. Cook until the pumpkin and sweet potato soften. Cool down to luke warm and blend to a smooth velouté. Reserve in the fridge, if possible overnight. Warm before serving. 
 + 
 +Serving: Serve in small cups with a dollop of sour cream, a dash of olive oil, a sprinkle of smoked paprika and a twig of thyme.

 +==== Spoonful of fertility ==== 
 + 
 +Mixed grains and seeds with chantarelles and harissa 
 + 
 +Grains are traditionally served on weddings as fertility blessings, in many regions of Europe. In Discipline Scenario, traditions and rituals are rediscovered and celebrated. Forgotten ingredients including grains and seeds such as spelt, barley, buckwheat, linseed and hemp are served in family meals again. Another forgotten tradition: foraging has been re-introduced, albeit in a appropriately disciplined way. In this dish we combine the grains and forest mushrooms, spiced up with a hearty harissa.

 +==== Layered wholegrain hummus and beetroot sandwiches ==== 
 + 
 +A rich, dark wholegrain bread is for us a symbol of wholesome European food traditions. We combined the bread with two vegetarian pastes, one with legumes (chickpeas) and the other with root vegetables (beetroot), both hearty fare that we could imagine a Discipline mother would pack for her children's lunch...

 +Waste is food in the Collapse Scenario. While once we might have peeled our potatoes to make chips, we now have only potato-peel, even in the most decadent places like the Last Supper Club. The opulence of the dish is increased by adding the rare black truffle oil and a sprinkling of seaweed.

 +  * sunflower oil for frying 
 +  * paper kitchen towel 
 +  * truffle oil 
 +  * seaweed sprinkles 
 + 
 +Peel potatoes into long strips with a potato peeler, then let them lie on a paper towel for a few minutes to absorb moisture. Heat frying oil in a deep fryer or frying pan. Fry the peels a few at a time till crisp and golden brown. Place them back onto the paper towel and sprinkle with salt, truffle oil and seaweed. If you don't want to serve them right a way, wait till the peel cools and set aside in an airtight container until needed, but no longer than a few days.

 +==== Fermented button mushrooms ==== 
 + 
 +One of the main reasons behind the collapse of food industry in this scenario is antibiotic resistance. The big pharma doesn't provide us with weapons to fight bacteria, and instead the old tradition of (wild) fermentation is thriving again, lead by bio-hackers and militant fermenters. As farming above ground isn't an option any longer, people are cultivating mushrooms in squatted bunkers and fermenting them in post-apocalyptic fermentation vats. This dish is an example of how people in this scenario plan to keep the "good" bacteria growing to keep the "bad" ones at bay. We served simple button mushrooms that are easy to cultivate and fermented them for a few days is some good Belgian beer. 
 + 
 + 
 + 
 +==== Smoked fungus juice ==== 
 + 
 +There is no waste in the Collapse kitchen. The fermentation liquid used for the mushrooms in the dish above is spiced, smoked and recycled into a sour tonic.
