- | [[future_fictions_menu|Food Futures Menu]] for the reception at the opening of the [[Future Fictions]] exhibition at Z33 in Hasselt, Belgium, on the 4th of October 2014. The menu is ased 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. | + | [[future_fictions_menu|Food Futures Menu]] for the reception at the opening of the [[Future Fictions]] exhibition at Z33 in Hasselt, Belgium, on the 4th of October 2014.

In the Continue scenario there is much ruthless borrowing and re-localising world cuisines. 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. | In the Continue scenario there is much ruthless borrowing and re-localising world cuisines.

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 greenwashing in globalised food markets. | Similar to the Rainbow Pasta, this tea has a shockingly bright colour.

The inhabitants of the Discipline Scenario eat strictly seasonally and 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 at home in front of a fire (or even better surrounded by heat produced by some renewable type of energy), listening to the rain and wind ranging outside, while we're comfortably protected by our well-insulated windows.

Waste is food in the Collapse Scenario. While once we might have peeled our potatoes to make chips, we now only have the peel to peruse, even in the most decadent places like the "Last Supper Club".

All of the teas had some health benefits, but were also pleasing to the eye, albeit unnerving for some of our guests who have not seen steeped basil seeds before. They resemble tiny eyes of tadpoles and their texture is quite slippery. We paired basil seeds with a hibiscus, lavender and mallow teas. Hibiscus to ward off the flu season, lavender as a calming and headache reducing elixir and mallow for cleansing our breathing apparatus.
