The challenge:

The zombie apocalypse has just hit. Your friends decide to come to your house for the night, before heading out to the safe house the next morning. It’s a long way away, so you guys need a good dinner.  You also want to make sure you get rid of all the perishables before you go. You have the following ingredients:

Eggplant, Blue cheese, Hammour fillet, Chicken drumsticks, A watermelon.

The rules:

– You’re allowed one sous-chef/zombie lookout person.

– You can only use your gas stovetop. The electricity is out in the house.

– You can also use what you currently have in your pantry. Let’s face it; leaving your house to buy groceries is not an option at this point unless you want to join the ranks of the undead or be immortalized on the menu at zombie dinner parties. We won’t judge.

SO, WHAT’S ON THE MENU?

Appetizer:

Honeyed chicken drumsticks with a blue cheese dipping sauce.

Main:

Hammour stuffed eggplants with garlic and lemon.

Dessert:

Watermelon and blue cheese kebabs. The pointed sticks will be used later to poke out the eyes of errant zombies.

WHO WOULD BE YOUR SOUS CHEF/ZOMBIE LOOKOUT PERSON AND WHY?

At first I thought I’d choose a dead celebrity. But Hemingway would just want to get drunk with the zombies, Jim Morrison would ask them about their spiritual views on Peyote and Mitch Hedberg would crack jokes while they ate my flesh. So I’m going to have to say my 6 year old daughter, Safyre. She’s never met a zombie she didn’t like and makes friends easily. Also she loves hammour.

WHAT WOULD BE YOUR WEAPON OF CHOICE?

Kebab sticks. They are light, the points are perfect for eyeball poking and you can find them in pretty much every household in Kuwait.

DO YOU THINK THAT YOU COULD SURVIVE A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE?

How do you become a zombie? Are they recruiting? Any idea of the payscale?
