I have to share one of my favorite quotes from this movie because it makes me chuckle, it has nothing to do with food. Llewelyn is leaving to take some water to a dying man...
Llewelyn: If I don't come back, tell mother I love her.
Carla Jean: Your mother's dead, Llewelyn.
Llewelyn: (pauses) Well then I'll tell her myself.
This movie has undertones of hiding, chasing and, of course, blood and guts. One thought is to make cupcakes and bake a quarter inside (wrap it in foil first). The quarter is "hidden" and is reminiscent of the scene that ends with this line:
Anton: Don't put it in your pocket, sir. Don't put it in your pocket. It's your lucky quarter.
We could stock Corona at the party. Llewelyn borrows a Corona from the young Americans to help get him by the border guard.
But, the only real food in the movie is expressed in this exchange:
Sheriff Bell: Now that's aggrevatin'.
Wendell: Sheriff?
Sheriff Bell: [points to a bottle of milk] Still sweatin'.
Wendell: Whoa, Sheriff! We just missed him! We gotta circulate this!
Sheriff Bell: Well, okay. What do we circulate? Lookin' for a man who recently drunk milk?

just watched no country for old men, it's unassumingly unconventional yet (thankfully) never over-the-top. the Coen bros. deserve their Oscars; well done indeed.
