-==== Pumpkin velouté ====+==== Autumn velouté ====
  
 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. Even if the colour of pumpkin suggests warmth, according to the traditions of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda|Ayurveda]] pumpkin is a cooling food. We therefore added some spicy smoked paprika powder to increase the soup's heating capacity.  The inhabitants of the Discipline Scenario eat strictly seasonally and flavour their food with (home)dried and smoked herbs and spices.

 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". The opulence of the dish is hinted at with the addition of the rare black truffle oil and a sprinkling of seaweed.  Waste is food in the Collapse Scenario.

-==== Fermented button mushrooms ====+==== Fermented mushrooms ====
  
 One of the main reasons behind the collapse of food industry in this scenario is antibiotic resistance. In Collapse Scenatio, the Big Pharma doesn't provide us with weapons to fight bacteria any longer. 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 pickling them in post-apocalyptic fermentation vats. People in the world of collapse use fermentation to encourage the "good" bacteria to grow while keeping the "bad" ones at bay, thereby minimising bacterial infections. We served simple button mushrooms ("champignons" in Belgium) that are easy to cultivate and fermented them for a few days. One of the main reasons behind the collapse of food industry in this scenario is antibiotic resistance.

 Our plan for this dish was to serve insects or worms. However due to a large insectivore fair in Belgium on the same day, we were unable to procure "the real thing". Instead we served tiny anchovies that looked like maggots, had a texture of a cricket, but tasted fishy. We decided it was an interesting substitute to be served with in a mussel shell. It ended up being deception upon deception, which perfectly suited some of the more obscure aspects of the Collapse Scenario. Our plan for this dish was to serve insects or worms.
