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?

    For ‘The Beatniks’, Iron City Beer and unfiltered cigarettes.

    I would say Jet feul;) or some high proof liqueur. Because in Moon Zero two whatever they served at the bar all tasted like jet feul– because scotch costs alot on the moon because scotland… is a long way away from the moon.

    beer is always good in memory of devil fish.

    If you can catch a goose- eat it (Jack frost) i remember dumplings from it.

    If you hit on the female employee, you can go to a soft serve hut before hand (Zombie Nightmare)

    Egg Creme (squirm)

    and as an after dinner drink

    MD 20/20 or Thunderbird, or any bum wine, for our makeupless clown in IT Lives by Night- paper bag mandatory

    Warrior of the Lost World: McChicken or McDouble with Fries from Mcdondald’s (for the McWayne), Land O Lakes butter on the side, Scope and Robitussin for drinks.

    Red Zone Cuba: Omelet with everything possible in it (for the Omelet Supercalifragilistic…delicious).

    Giant Spider Invasion: Sardines or Anchovies en Crute (instead of silverfish).

    I’d go with lobster tacos and a good Mexican theme, tequila, and a pinata thorwn in, while watching The Black Scorpion. They make lots of food riffs in that one. Hey, maybe a weird steak fight. And did you know they’re making a taco salad where you can actually eat the bowl?!?!
    No green sauce, I hate green.

    Show either Pod People or The Killer Shrews and forget the food, just drink LOTS of booze! Booze really satisifies. From the booze council.

    Show Red Zone Cuba, serve frog’s legs, beans and LOTS of coffee. I like coffee. But you have to talk woodenly all night. ‘I’m Cherokee Jack.’ We need to make up a drink called the Cherokee Jack, any ideas? Whatever the ingredients it has to be stirred with a wooden spoon.

    Show Gamera vs Guirion and have Space Gaos sushi rolls, sliced thin. Then for desert donuts and grey water. Have half the guests shave their heads.

    Show the short The Chicken of Tomorrow and have chicken nuggets, fried chicken, chicken salad sandwiches, hot wings, etc…

    Instead of coordinating the food try to re-create the skydiving party in Skydivers. Have everyone dress as their favorite character from the party, a giant dancing woman, a Scotsman, a hippie who flies every day, Petey the Plane, a girl with a polka dot bikini, a terrible band who plays insensitive songs, a hopeless camera geek. That party was better than the movie.

    Weasel-Snitch:

    You’ll never get ham, or any kind of luncheon meat, not
    even bologna or salami.
    It would ruin your sawdust insides.
    (But you might want to try a toasted strudel or
    some delicious Gamera turtle meat). It’s
    really neat.

    Well, you could arrange to have some scrod flown in for “Stranded in Space”. And, for “Incredible Melting Man”, you could have soup, as long as you DON’T FORGET THE CRACKERS!!! Plus lemon pie for desert.

    Then again, who in their right mind would want to eat during “Incredible Melting Man”.

    Chicken sliced to the width of one electron, carrots picked by migrant farm workers who help, ham from Coke-fed pigs, tasty frogs legs and pie that doesn’t make you want to kill yourself, with a badly frosted cardboard cake served by a spooky nurse whose husband is cheating on her for dessert. And can I have a Coke?

    Or how about TV’s Frank-furters?

    Jack Frost: Goose giblets with gravy, whole, raw onions, milk and a mouse-shaped sucker for desert.

    I’d hate to watch Space Travellers without astronaut ice cream to nibble on.

    For the Rocky Jones movies you could much on Reeses’ Pieces and call them space food, too. Claim each of them is a space dinner in capsule form or something. You’d probably end up sick by the end of the movie, though.

    Apple Pie made with Red Delicious apples, with pie crust made with warm tap water. Would be flaky and delicious if Brain Guy made it, maybe not so much if anyone else did.

    For Gamera vs. Zigra, a fish entree with lots of Coke. “I showed him. Huh?”

    Horrors of Party Beach, Hot dogs, and remember the buns.

    Viking Women and their Voyage to the Land of the Sea Serpent. Any wholesome meal served by a home economics graduate from the Iowa State College.

    Sandwiches made with specialty breads –

    For Bloodlust, chicken, corn, potatoes and white bread. Served with plenty of milk from Uncle Jim’s Dairy Farm.

    Teenagers from Outer Space – Two choices: Lobster or ribs.

    The Violent Years: Pot Roast, squishy pot roast.

    MRE’s with a post-apocalyptic movie, like “Robot Holocaust”. Serve with small glasses of Kool-Aid and mouthwash, (don’t tell the guests which is which), for “Warrior of the Lost World”.

    For “Robot Monster”, awkwardly combine two different kinds of food; just like the robot/gorrila Ro-Man. Like a candided apple stuck on a pot roast. A beef jerky forest build on a tuna cassarole.

    Hang finger food fron strings for the zero-gravity scene in “Rocketship X-M”.

    Cook and italian meal for “Danger- Diabolik”. Then serve it a day later.

    Find a James Bond-themed recipe. Use the cheapest ingredients. Serve with “Operation Doubble 007”.

    Licorice-flavored Swedish Fish for “Attack of the Giant Leeches”.

    Cheesecake and jiggley Jell-O for “Agngel’s Revenge”.

    Grapes and white chocolate balls for “The Crawling Eye” or “Attack of the Eye Creatures”. For the latter, make no effort whatsoever because you just don’t care.

    For “The Human Duplicators”, keep serving your guests the same dish over and over while imitating Richard Kiel’s monotone voice.

    Fried alligator with King Dinosaur. Lots of little lizards in that film.

    Charbroiled and blackened chicken with Manos: Hands Of Fate. Serve during the scene where Torgo’s hand gets charred to nothing.

    Hamburgers and French Fries with Jungle Goddess.

    Nice fresh apples with Daddy-O. Don’t knock them across the room, apples bruise easily.

    Whole roasted turkey, chicken and cows with Amazing Colossal Man.

    Hawaiian luau style cookout with Lost Continent. Wear your sarong.

    Mandarin style beef with Castle Of Fu Manchu.

    Cooked caribou with Day The Earth Froze.

    Fish, preferably golden colored ones, and maybe octopus with Magic Voyage Of Sinbad.

    Fish also goes well with Cave Dwellers.

    Stewed rabbit with Pod People. No pet ones though. Refer to everything you eat with that film as “potatoes”.

    Diner food with I Accuse My Parents, Teenage Strangler and Girl In Lover’s Lane.

    Lotsa great responses to this one!
    I would say a traditional Christmas dinner (Ham, stuffing, turkey, mashed potatoes, etc.) dyed green with food coloring for Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.

    And since everyone else offered up a drinking episode, my own favorite is Gunslinger-“Booze, it’s what’s for dinner” and “Me and booze are buying a house together”. :cigarette:
