 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.

 In the world of collapsed food systems dietary supplements are a big industry. As an example of an already booming industry in both natural and artificial [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirulina_%28dietary_supplement%29|Spirulina]], we served this popular cyanobacteria in a capsule.

+Ingredients:
+  * 500g Mazafati dates
+  * 1 small jar of thick (non liquid) tahini (sesame paste)
+  * a few teaspoons of chocolate coated popping sugar
+Preparation: Pit the dates beforehand and keep cool. Just before serving fill each date with a small amount of tahini (using a big syringe or a small teaspoon).
+Serving: Sprinkle the stuffed dates with popping sugar and serve on a large lightly coloured serving plate.
+Sourcing: Dates came from a Pakistani shop in Molenbeek, Belgium. Tahini was bought in the Natural Corner organic shop, popping sugar from Mmmmh, both in Brussels, Belgium.
 ==== Carrots and violets ====
+Pairing flowers and root-vegetables seems like a food-forest pairing that Transform inhabitants might choose for their breakfast, light dessert or a snack freshly picked from one of the many urban productive gardens. Furthermore the molecular pairing of carrots and violets would definitely be known to their food design-science labs. We also paired the ingredients by colour, as design and aesthetics seem to be an important consideration in this scenario. Deep orange and purple are quite a stimulating combination…
+Ingredients:
+  * 5 purple carrots
+  * a handful of candied violets (and a few more for serving)
+  * urban honey (to taste)
+  * juice of 1/2 lemon
+Preparation: Grate the carrots by hand or using an electric mixer. Pour lemon juice and mix as soon as possible so the carrots don’t loose their bright colour. Chop candied violets as fine as you can and mix with the carrots. Add a teaspoon of honey, mix well and taste. If you prefer a sweeter taste, keep adding honey until you obtain the taste you like. Press the mixture down with a ladle to remove excess air, place in an airtight container and leave in the fridge for a few hours.
+Serving: Pour a few spoonfulls of the mixture into small bowls (we used black Japanese lacquered wooden bowls). Decorate with a few whole candied violets. Serve with a range of small silver teaspoons.
+Sourcing: Carrots and lemon came from Les Tanneurs organic market, violets from AM Sweet, urban honey from FoAM member and bee-keeper Christina Stadlbauer, the bowls from a closed down Japanese restaurant in Amsterdam and the tea-spoons from the flea market in Brussels.
