You would think that the second book of The Hunger Games Trilogy
Katniss spends a fair amount of time in Capitol care, such as on the train during the Victory Tour and the big party at the Capitol. They feast at banquets and a lot of the time Suzanne Collins doesn’t go into details about the dishes, but there’s still 47 food references to try (eliminating duplicate references).
Without further ado, here are all the references to food in Book 2, Catching Fire:
- Beaver stew
- Herb tea
- Bean and gourd soup
- Boiled cabbage and burned meat
- Fresh baked bread
- Tea and cookies iced with flowers

With beaver stew, I’d suggest using beef instead, haha. I wonder how the cold soup of pureed vegetables would come out, though…?

I seriously have to wonder if it’s even legal to kill and eat a beaver!

I’m pretty sure it is. You can trap them where I live and sell their pelts.

Please make the spiced milk! I tried, but when I put in enough spice it was gritty. Maybe Starbucks Chai Tea Concentrate?

The spiced milk is probably very similar to the Thai Chi tea from Teavana made with milk

I think you forgot one! Its the one throw up drink that Katnisses prep team uses at the capitol party on page 79, in the “…tiny stemmed wineglasses filled with a clear liquid.” I just needed to say that!

I would love to see number 35, 16, 46, 14, 15 (I love food), and 6. My mom made your food for the premiere of the movie, and I have to say I love all the food. I’m always making Peeta’s burnt nut and raisin bread; since it tastes soo good and is so simple.
