Cooking to the tune of JoCo
I love to cook. One of my favorite sources is Nanny Ogg's Cookbook, which has real recipes that are based on things mentioned in the Discworld novels of Terry Pratchett. I do a Quatro Rodenti (4-rat pizza) that will blow you away.
With that in mind, what songs of Jonathan's do you think would make good recipes? I have seen variations of the cake from Portal, as well as a companion cube cake. Do you know of any other delicious versions of his music? Perhaps noms inspired by Octopus (besides tako sushi...), Code Monkey, Blue Sunny Day,etc. I wonder how hard it would be to create a banana cake using Mountain Dew for the liquid for Code Monkey?
So, what ideas for "Geek Rock recipes" do you have/would you like to see? If you have any photos, please post them- there are a LOT of photos of octopus decorated cakes, as well as monkey decorated ones out there.

Me: "That will probably make the squid very happy."
Staying on the topic, though, I can't help but imagine "Redshirts" as good-sized cookies, in the shape of a shirt, perhaps with a slice of pineapple as Starfleet-insignia.
"Dissolve" might be some sort of crumbly dry cake, sitting on a bed of some delicious liquid, like syrup, and you have to finish it quickly before it gets soaked and dissolves (d'ya see what I did there?)
"I Feel Fantastic" sounds like it would be a delicious stake, perhaps with a nice sauce based on red wine, with a side of potatoes and vegetables all cut to look like little pills.
"Fraud" would be a cake coated in brown frosting so that it looks like a
chocolate-cake, but once you get inside it's actually a vegetable-pie.
... don't know what made me think of that.
My pick for a JoCo-themed food would have to be brains sculpted with gray marzipan.
