Mangoes and Smoke: A LOST Series Finale Menu

Oh, LOST! You've pulled us along through six seasons of mysterious whispers in the jungle, sudden tropical rain showers followed by startling revelations and...mangoes. It's a good thing for our intrepid survivors that mangoes are always in season on this magical island. Mangoes will definitely be on the menu at our season finale party!

But there have been more than just mangoes, of course. Jin was able to catch plenty of fish and the occasional haul of oysters. Wild boar was on the menu a few times. Oh, and don't forget those handy Dharma food drops!

Appetizers

• Cheeseburger Sliders and Mini Grilled Cheese Sandwiches - In honor of those first meals Juliet brought to a captive Jack.
• Veggies in Ranch Dressing - Really, Hurley? The whole Dharma food closet and you hoard ranch dressing?
• Smoke Monster Popcorn - Of course!

Main Course and Side Dishes

• Fish Steamed in Banana Leaves - Bless Jin and his expert fisherman skillz.
• Braised Summer Pork Shank - Or wild boar if you can get your hands on one.
• Tomatoes Sprinkled with Balsamic - Sun's one perfect tomato...
• Dinner Rolls - We had to dig deep into LOST lore for some carbs. See: Juliet's dinner date with Ben.

Dessert

• Halfway Cookies - Half good...half evil.
• Earl Grey Tea Cookies - We're throwing these in for Charles Widmore and Eloise.
• Killer Blondies - Keep an eye on Claire this Sunday.

Beverages

• Jacob's Red Wine - Although drinking this might have unintended side-effects.
• Cheap Beer - Dharma Lite brand, preferably.
• Mango Lassi - Mango up!

We're serving imaginary peanut butter.

We have designed foods based around 'themes' of each season. For the finale I'm going to try out working with fondant for the first time in making a backgammon board cake. Most of our other items are very tongue in cheek though; fish-cake shaped burgers, rice krispie treat 'numbers', bunny shaped cookies, dharma beer, and an island 'diorama' of chip dip. Hopefully it'll all work out, either way, it'll be an event!!

How about overburnt burgers with smoke still coming out in honor of Smoke Monster/Locke?

We are keeping it informal with stuff you can eat in front of the t.v. :
Mango, papaya and pineapple
goldfish crackers (for the fish crackers)
peanut butter and graham crackers (with the dharma logo)
Fried Chicken in a Mr. Clucks bucket
smoke monster popcorn
bacon wrapped jalapenos ( not exactly lost related but SO good)
and for the sweets:
Marble cupcakes (black and white, get it!) decorated with mini palm trees
brigaderios (coconut fudge balls)

For the season premiere, we served the ginger hoisin pork tacos that have appeared on this site several times--pretended they were boar. A side of coconut rice and peanut slaw, but also dharma wine and beer, peanut butter, and lots of tropical fruit.

For my party I'm making black and white cookies and monkey bread (sounds tropical enough) but I'm still trying to narrow down main course items.

We'll also be having the bacon wrapped jalapenos, just scuz.

I'm planning to taking sugar cookie dough and pressing it next to dark fudge cookie dough for half black half white cookies. Definitely making the black smoke monster popcorn, a cake with the Dahrma symbol and cheeseburger sliders. I also got some small cut outs of the characters, a submarine and a plane laminated with plans to submerge them in blue jello (the ocean). I'm still trying to tink of something peanut butter related though
