Win a copy of The Unofficial Hunger Games Cookbook

The Hunger Games, to the surprise of no one, destroyed the box office this past weekend. But it really freakin' raked it in, man, earning $155 million, a number that made it the third-richest debut of all time, behind only The Dark Night and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. Games' straight cash cow status, of course, means we're buried up to our mockingjay broaches in unauthorized merch! Example: The Unofficial Hunger Games Cookbook, which features more than 150 dishes inspired by passages in Suzanne Collins' books. Each recipe, from "Katniss' baked shad" ("The bones in the shad mirror the skin and bones that our heroes are slowly becoming.") to the utilitarian "no-nonsense wheat dinner rolls" of District 13, is complete with bibliographic info referencing moments in the dystopian YA trilogy.

Meal Ticket's got a copy of the cookbook for you, so you can get a head start on planning your Blu-Ray release party that will involve forcing your college friends to wrestle each other over the last ladleful of wild groosling chili. All you've got to do, between now and 5 p.m. tomorrow, March 29, is write a caption for the image after the jump and leave it as a comment. Make it funny, make it stupid, make it memorable. And be sure you register/comment with an email address you check frequently, as that is how we'll alert our winner. May the odds be ever in your favor or whatever the fuck they say in the movie.

    So many tears I've cried, so much pain inside, but baby it ain't over 'til it's over.

    "I'm so sorry I burned up that beautiful outfit, Senna!"
    "It's OK, Katniss. At least something good came of it. I got to make some smores before the fire went out"
