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.

Sushi is one such dish, that has been integrated around the globe, using ingredients suited to the palate of the locals. For Limburg, where the Future Fictions exhibition is held, we chose potatoes and asparagus. Asparagus is a vegetable endemic to the region, but it is out of season in October so the asparagus we used was actually imported from Peru, which perfectly suited the scenario.

-Potato puree: Boil potatoes in the skin. Once soft, let cool enough so you don't burn your fingers, then peel the skin off.

Let cool and reserve in the fridge.+== Preparation ==

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. +Potato puree: Boil potatoes in the skin. Test their softness with a fork. The fork should pierce the potatoes easily, but they shouldn't fall apart. Take off the heat, drain the water and let cool just enough so you don't burn your fingers when you hold the potato for a few seconds. Peel the skin off using your fingers. Mash potatoes with salt, butter and/or olive oil until the mash becomes relatively smooth. It's not a problem to have some small chunks that aren't completely mashed. Let the mash cool completely.

We used a smoked olive oil, that we smoked a few weeks earlier using the [[http://www.polyscienceculinary.com/the-smoking-gun.php|Smoking Gun]], but this is not absolutely necessary. A good quality extra virgin olive oil can be used as well. Brush the asparagus with the marinade and reserve in the fridge until needed.
