“Do you smell that? It’s fish sauce, son. Nothing else on the world smells like that. I love the smell of noodles in the morning. Y’know, once we had a food marathon….7 hours….and when it was all over I walked up. We didn’t find one uneaten scrap, not even one stinking rubber smelling fish… Smells like…….. Victory.”
-Lieutenant Colonel Dhoom Dhoom.

Phrased as a quiz, I like it. And I do love pun-titles. Apocalypse Chow in my opinion.

I vote ‘d’ — at least one dish may have well been the apocalypse of my tastebuds ;P
