Weekend Discussion Thread: Menus for a “Dinner and a MST3K Episode” Night

Alert reader Jonathan writes:

Some friends and I are organizing a MST3K Dinner & a Movie Night and I was wondering as to what MST-themed dishes to serve with each particular experiment? So far I can only think of the food mentioned in “The Final Sacrifice” (Canadian bacon, cold Crazy Bread, beer). Since we want to make this an ongoing thing, what are some other good dinner and a movie combinations???

What comes immediately to mind is “I Accuse My Parents” along with a nice char-brolied hamburger sammich with french fried potato garnish, served with a loaded .38 caliber revolver on the plate. I trust you.

Your menu?

    How about Johnny Longbone’s Southwestern Stew? It has chicken, corn, green peppers….. *sigh* onions…

    Me and my wives could dine on hand of Torgo, along with some ice cold lemonade from the elf guy in “Hired” while we watch, of course, Manos.

    A root beer kegger would seem to be a must as well. Try to get a keg that looks like Servo….

    I’ve often thought of doing something similar only take a more pedestrian view — such as just serving chips and calling them “RAM chips” or making a real alcoholic drink called a Scorpion (if you’ve never had one, they’re yummy) but calling it a “Black Scorpion” and serving it with little plastic scorpions hanging from the glass… etc.

    First thing that came to mind was Jungle Godess and some French fried potatoes. Or Godzilla vs the Sea Monster and some boiled lobsters for a classier night. Actually, you could have sushi with any of the Japanese films.

    And of course, waffles.

    My wife excels at this sort of thing (seriously–she wants to start a blog about her ideas). So far, we have brainstormed smoked loin and Parts: The Clonus Horror, and beefsteak with Space Mutiny. We’ll work this out and get back to you.

    Consider the lowly waffle, anytime’s the right time for waffles. A fine and suitable alternative to stuffing or potatoes because after all, what are waffles but batter and what’s batter but chopped up grain. You know, there’s tons of stuff you could do with waffles you know. Take some syrup and peanut butter and make a waffle sandwich, or wrap the hot dog in a waffle and garnish with ketchup. There’s tons you can do, maybe cut some swiss cheese then you can melt it over the top. Baked beans are always… well, I like to put chili on mine for a real south of the border treat. Then, if you’re really into it, take some waffle batter, mix it with milk, and you’ve got a waffle shake (But don’t tell the kids it’s good for em). Or a delicious spinach waffle with tangy ricotta cheese.

    Waffles.

    If you want to contemplate the good and the beautiful
    how about Eggs Florentine and Tiffani-Amber Thiessen?
    Because you know, every year of your life, many people grow more and more convinced that the wisest and best is to fix their attention on the good and the beautiful. If you just take the time to look at it.

    If you’re having Rommel as a dinner guest, it’s gotta be hamburgers. Why can’t he have hamburgers? And if it’s his buddy instead, make it a bag lunch/dinner.

    Night of the Blood Beast can easily be paired with turkey, stuffing and/or potatoes. Peel-and-eat shrimp can be used as a substitution if you want to avoid any stuffing vs.potatoes arguements.

    I’ll tack on to Sampo’s suggestion of hamburgers and french fied potatoes for “I Accuse My Parents” by expanding it to a double feature and include “Jungle Goddess”. If I recall correctly, Wanda missed this dish a lot.

    Now I’m going to chomp on a 5 Guys burger and french fried potatos.

    For a movie, The Giant Spider Invasion. To go along with it, plates and plates and plates of fried calamari — not the rings, but the little ones fried whole so that they really look like spiders. And to go along with all that Wisconsin ambiance, I recommend plenty of beer and some cheese curds. Whaddya think, sirs?

    Delivery pizza with Manos:Hands of Fate. Order it to arrive halfway through the experiment, with beef jerky appetizers before; in the shape of hands. Served on the end of a staff. Drinks served in ceremonial goblets. Hold the crazy bread.

    V-8 bloody marys, salad, and soup served with Wild World of Batwoman. Everyone gets a little paper bowl.

    Red Zone Cuba – first, paint everything a dingy gray. For an appetizer, whatever smokable cigarette butts you can find in the ashtray, followed by our main course of beans from a can. Wash it down with coffee, or if you’d rather have water (sick man), just ask. Of course, your meal will be accompanied by a depressing organ music. And for desert, more cigarette butts. Enjoy! (This meal can easily be adapted to suit any Coleman Francis film!)

    The correct answer is up there at #1…..Johnny Longbow’s stew is legendary. All others are pretty good so far too…I think just about any episode would go good paired with a good cheese and some crackers… :eat: :starving:
