Oscar Dinner

[malcolm1980]

I don't usually do Oscar parties but this thread has always been fun. What should you serve now that we know the Best Picture nominees?

The Big Short = ???
Bridge of Spies = gum maybe?
Brooklyn = pasta or something Irish like corned beef and cabbage.
Mad Max: Fury Road = water
The Martian = POTATOES!
The Revenant = Bison (or buffalo meat or any game meat, really)
Room = birthday cake
Spotlight = Communion wafers

The Big Short can be Anthony Bourdain's fish stew.

Brooklyn you could also do spaghetti.

I'm not sure on Lennox's reference but for The Big Short you could also do champagne aka "bubbly."

[lennox723]

In The Big Short Bourdain explains what CDO's (collateralized debt obligations) are by using three-day old fish as an analogy. You cook old fish as a stew and people will buy it.

Ah, that's right. Forgot that one.

Ham for The Big Short.

Water and Mother's Milk for MM:FR!

[NGL]

^Just how do you intend to obtain the latter?

[Dr.ciski77]

It could just be regular milk, you know. That cow was someone's mother.

Okay. Time to do this:

Arrival = calamari
Fences = ???
Hacksaw Ridge = ???
Hell or High Water = T-bone steak! (either no green beans or no corn-on-the-cob).
Hidden Figures = Tang, maybe?
Lion = curry flavored shrimp on a barbie OR naan and vegemite.
La La Land = iced coffees (or a burnt souffle). Chicken on a stick would also work.
Manchester by the Sea = clam chowder
Moonlight = black beans and rice
