If you haven’t read the novel “Catching Fire” or you’re waiting for the movie beware there might be some insignificant spoilers in this recipe 😉 .

At the end of the “Hunger Games winner’s tour” there is a great party, held in the mansion of president Snow. The party buffet is enormous, there are tons of really tasteful dishes 😉 . We decided to procede chronologically and began with the first dish tasted by Katniss 🙂 . A creamy pumpkin brew sprinkled with black seeds and slivered almonds.

But the real star of the evening is the food. Tables laden with delicacies line the walls. Everything you can think of, and things you’ve never dreamed of, lie in wait.

“Ok, no more than a bite each dish.” I say. My resolve is almost immediately broken at first table, when I encounter a creamy pumpkin brew sprinkled with slivered nuts and tiny black seeds.
