Food from the “Hunger Games”

My cousin told me to read this trilogy last year by Suzanne Collins – “The Hunger Games.”  I can see why the young adults love this book – it has bits of:  sci-fi, action, anime, “Battle Royale”, a kdrama love triangle – so it’s a page turner.

Our heroine is Katniss Everdeen from District 12.  She not only has a world to save from nuclear destruction and a rebellion to lead, she also loves food.  She loves eating!  Actually when reading the first book, I actually want to go to the Hob in District 12 and get some gaming food dishes.  I can envision Travel Channel’s Bizarre Foods host Andrew Zimmern along for ride and eating Greasy Sae’s yummy oily dishes.
