-==== Pumpkin and smoked paprika velouté ====
+==== 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.

+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 ====
-=== Collapse ===
+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...

+==== Potato-peel chips with truffle oil ====
+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.

+Ingredients
+  * White potatoes
+  * salt
+  * 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.
+Serving: wrap the crisps in newspapers and tie with butcher's twine.

+==== 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.
