The menu is based on four archetypal [[food_scenarios]]. We designed the scenarios in the spring of 2014 originally for the [[Food Futures]] dinner for the Edinburgh science festival, that we co-hosted with Amanda McDonald Crowley. For Future Fictions we adapted the menu from a tasting dinner to finger-food for a reception, as well as adapted the dishes to a different region and season. |

Iced teas: Steep the flowers separately in boiling water. For the quantities above we used between 500ml and 1l of water - it depends how strong you like the tea. Add a sweetener if you like, to your taste, while the water is still warm. Cool down, then chill in the fridge overnight. A note about the mallow tea: the flowers will colour the tea a beautiful blue when you just put them in, then turn purple and eventually yellow. If you want to serve a strikingly coloured drink, add a teaspoon of the flowers to the tea just before serving. | Iced teas: Steep the flowers separately in boiling water.
