I of course fixated on what to serve my friends. What should you eat or serve on your last night on Earth? I am so surprised that restaurants didn\u2019t offer some ideas on how to fill your belly or empty your bowel&#8217;s as the Mayan calendar drew to a close.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Geneva; font-size: 12pt;\">First off, it would be <span style=\"color: #008000;\">what to wear?<\/span> I would suggest Mayan attire for at least a discount on the Happy Hour. Might be a bit December breezy for the guys with snow in the forecast and the gals would be a bit revealing, but what the hell, it\u2019s the end of the world. Let\u2019s Party Like there\u2019s No-To-Maya.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Geneva; font-size: 12pt;\">#1 <span style=\"color: #008000;\">Environmental cooking alternatives<\/span> would be my first choice. A good chicken entr\u00e9e might be organic range free Iguana . Finger food appetizers would of course be insects. I have always advocated the increased culinary usage of crickets and locusts. (Even sent it to McDonalds!) Garlic, Sesame roasted, ginger or hot sauce McCrickets would be a sure gut pleaser.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Geneva; font-size: 12pt;\">Fried bee larvae also worked for me. Rice flour and Indian <a title=\"PAKODAS -PAKORAS\" href=\"http:\/\/sweetgeodes.com\/senft\/?page_id=409\">Pakoras<\/a> would hide the delectable larvae inside and it could be re-named into something tasty. Apis mellifera Pakoras might not work, but <span style=\"color: #008000;\">honey bee delight<\/span> does. The chocolate covered ants would <em>bee<\/em> for desert of course. Mexican molee would of course be made with real moles.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Geneva; font-size: 12pt;\">#2 Re-naming of the common entree&#8217;s also works. <span style=\"color: #008000;\">The Apocalypse menu<\/span> would include Volcano S&#8217;Mores, Tsunami Fish+Chips and Chicken Kiev with Chernobyl mushroom sauce.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Geneva; font-size: 12pt;\">#3 <span style=\"color: #008000;\">The wildlife smorgasbord approach<\/span>. Eat all you can. Nutria, possum, raccoon and rat. Foraging for greens&#8211; show videos by Euell Gibbons until you tip!
