The Ultimate 'Hunger Games' Victory Feast

Add Daily Meal on Google:

If you didn't know anything about The Hunger Games, you'd probably think it was actually about, well, food. And although that's not the story's premise, the rich book-and-film franchise has no shortage of food references — from the extravagant meals in the Capitol, to the scraps in District 12, The Hunger Games is chock-full of foodie inspiration.

So it should come as no surprise that someone had the bright idea to create a themed menu for the beloved trilogy. The Unofficial Hunger Games Cookbook, by Emily Ansara Baines, has all the fixings for true Hunger Games fans, like Gale's Bone-Pickin' Game Soup, Lovelorn Peeta Pita Wildflower Pockets, and President Snow's Sautéed Dove Breasts in Bacon Drippings, for starters. (There's even a tree rat recipe — we don't want to know where to find a tree rat to cook.)

If you're itching for The Hunger Games' official movie release on March 25, a trilogy-inspired feast may hold you over until then. Just try not to fight each other for the last piece of Peeta's Cinnamon Bakery Bread.
