Thus Baked Zarathustra

Ever since I stumbled on the Seattle Edible Book Festival, Leif and Nick and I have been brainstorming what punny book-themed dish would be best. Some of our favorites are below, though my entry will hopefully be unveiled at the Festival proper!

• No Chutney for Old Men / No Country for Old Men.
• The Bars My Mastication / The Stars My Destination. (Lemon bars will take you wonderful places).
• Eggs-Men / X-Men. Hard boil some eggs, then run wild with markers.
• Tequila Mockingbird / To Kill A Mockingbird.
• Lime and Rum-ishment / Crime and Punishment. (Pairs well with Tequila Mockingbird.)
• Pie in the Last Pan / Y:The Last Man.
• A Million Little Pizzas / A Million Little Pieces.
• The Little Blintz / The Little Prince.
• Trans-Fat Neapolitan / Transmetropolitan. (Thank you, Nick, thank you for this.)
• Veal for Vendetta / V for Vendetta.
• Gyromancer / Neuromancer. (The Gyrophage is near.)
• The Acidity of Coke / The Audacity of Hope. (It’s really just the tooth-in-cola test.)
• His Dark Ingredients Trilogy: The Golden Crumpets, The Subtle Spice, The Amber Piecrust / His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, The Amber Spyglass. (Leif is totally doing this one, because he rules).
• And, the biggest stretches yet:
• The Pie and the Blintz on the Warm Stove / The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. (or, Pho-Piled-On, Pho Rich, and Pho-on-Stove)
