Well aren’t we just the quirky bunch over at Movies & Munchies. This year we have watched, reviewed and been inspired by some really eclectic films: Hidden Figures, Best in Show, The Glass Onion, and most recently, The Road. Let’s continue on our quirky food-inspired film journey with The Shape of Water. 
Way back in the day, Food ‘n Flix featured Pan’s Labyrinth and I became totally intrigued by Guillermo del Toro’s films. (I just recently watched his Pinocchio.) I had not seen the much acclaimed The Shape of Water and when I viewed it, also quite recently, I thought it might be a candidate for a Movies & Munchies‘ feature. There is a bit of foodie inspiration including but not limited to eggs, seafood, and Russian dishes. I really can’t wait to see what the Movies & Munchies crew dreams up.
You are invited to join us. Watch the film and make a dish inspired from the film. Post it during the month of September. Email me at eliotseats@gmail.com or drop a comment in The Shape of Water event page when your recipe is posted. At the end of September, I will post a round up here.
