Food is the path to anyone's heart, even a hardened punk rock girl (remember: food goes down best with a side of mixtape). But that xapple(core)x of your eye won't be impressed with an average meal like pasta and meatballs!

Here are a few products sure to make that post punk princess of yours swoon:

Note to sticklers: I'm using "punk rock" in the broadest sense of the genre.

First things first--no one wants to get burned! You can argue that pain is punk rock, but I don't subscribe to that. I'd pick up these horror show oven mitts thats inspired by "B" horror films and reminiscent of the Misfits.

Both Lost in the Supermarket: An Indie Rock Cookbook and I Like Food, Food Tastes Good: In the Kitchen with Your Favorite Bands are pretty much written by your favorite punk rock and indie bands! The recipes of Ted Leo, Superchunk, Death Cab for Cutie, NOFX, The Mountain Goats, Daniel Johnston (I'm kind of scared to know what he contributed), Sonic Youth, Animal Collective, Belle & Sebastian, and Devendra Barnhart adorn the pages of these books. 

In fact, here is Devendra's contribution:

AFRICANAS RICAS:

  • many bananas!
  • a box of graham crackers!!!
  • two eggs!!!
  • SOUR CREAM!!!
  • HONEY!

I also love the Descendents reference of the second book.

Rock 'n' Roll High School: probably the greatest musical of all time. A 60s teen party flick meets the Ramones--hilarious results ensue. 

How these will get you laid: You've finally worked up the nerve to invite that cute girl you met at Second Chance Saloon over for dinner. First, put a good record on (preferably something she doesn't know but could get into). Then get your cooking on, pound back a few shots, pop in your copy of Rock 'n' Roll High School and let the piercings and tattered clothes fly!
