Episode 3 Title
Episode 3 is currently entitled "POTAGE"
A Note on "Potage"
When I hear the word "potage" the phrase a "mess of pottage" comes to mind, from the biblical story of Esau selling his birthright to Jacob for a mess of pottage (a stew) from Genesis 25. I thought "pottage" and "potage" were variant spellings of the same word, but although they share the same etymological root they have a somewhat different meaning; "potage" which is a thick soup, stew, or porridge with meat and vegetables boiled has its origins only in the Middle Ages, whereas "pottage" is a much older term, but is similarly a stew of vegetables (and meat if available).
It is also worth mentioning that towards the end of the novel "Hannibal" Paul Krendler is served a stew by Hannibal, and the following exchange occured:
"Don't wait on us, Mr. Krendler," Dr Lecter urged. "Have some of your broth while it's hot."
He raised, the covered potager and straw to Krendler's lips.
Krendler made a face. "That soup's not very good."
"Actually, it's more of a parsley and thyme infusion," the doctor said, "and more for our sake than yours. Have another few swallows, and let it circulate."
Hannibal Lecter, being Lithuanian, would no doubt enjoy a cold borscht (šaltibarščiai) for his potage, but one dreads to imagine what meats he would use ;-)

Video: Mads Mikkelsen Interview from the Toronto International Film Festival 2012
Mads Mikkelsen Interview from TIFF 2012 by EverythingIsALie
A 30 second mention of Hannibal at 7:10.
---------------------------------------------------
Interviewer: Is it true that you are going to be doing a US
TV series?
Mads: I am doing it right now...
Interviewer: Let's talk about that, Hannibal Lecter
Mads: Yeah, let's do that...
Interviewer: Tell me about it
Mads: Well you just said it, it's called
"Hannibal" and it's based on the books about Hannibal the Cannibal.
The main character is Will [Graham], an FBI profiler who is a genius, but he's got a little too
much empathy. He's got a problem controlling himself on the cases so they hire [Hannibal] to take care of Will and help him out, and it's a beautiful opportunity
for Hannibal ... he's like a little kid in a candy store.

Washingtonpost.com: The next role for José Andrés: culinary advisor for “Hannibal,” a future NBC series
By Tom Sietsema
Add yet another line to the epic resume of celebrity chef José Andrés: culinary consultant for the forthcoming NBC series “Hannibal,” based on the fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter.
You remember Lecter. He’s the mad man from “Silence of the Lambs” who professed a fondness for human liver “with some fava beans and a nice chianti [insert scary tongue noise here].”
Andrés says he was tapped by producer and screenwriter Bryan Fuller to flesh out the character, so to speak, by showing what a culinary sophisticate the cannibalistic psychiatrist was, pre-incarceration. There will be references to French chef Auguste Escoffier and fine wines, says the chef, and a scene featuring loin — but not pork or beef loin — with roasted apples and Cumberland sauce. Eventually, “every single body part” will factor into the show, says Andrés, who adds that his research included eating “a lot of lung dishes this summer.” (Lung, from animals, is popular in Italy and Spain.)
Putting in a plug for his native Spain, he says human bones found in the ancient Atapuerca caves in the north of the country show evidence of man eating man, perhaps in the belief that the consumer might absorb the conquered party’s power — but possibly also just because he could.)
Andres was eager to accept the assignment from Fuller, who won an Emmy Award for his work on “Pushing Daisies.” “This is beyond cannibalism,” says the chef. “It’s about people who have dark sides and dark stories.” His restaurant team had initial doubts about the project. “This is TV!” he told them. “I’m going to lose customers doing this? I don’t think so.”
Andres hesitates to share too much about his work on the series, which has not been given an air date yet. Some of his ideas might end up on the cutting room floor, he explains. But the chef suggests viewers watch for a party scene with food prepared by Lecter and also an “interesting” new way to prepare a Fuller favorite, mushrooms.
“I want Hannibal to have the same passion as Jose Andres has,” says Fuller, the creator of the 13 episode show, which is currently shooting in Toronto and stars Mads Mikkelsen as the cannibalistic psychiatrist before prison. (His advice to the actor: “Do not read any serial killer books. Look at cookbooks.”)
While the series will show Hannibal “at his most peacock and expansive,” Fuller says, the character will be seen cooking, rather than sourcing his main ingredients, to “make him more relatable and less a villain.”
Lecter is no garden variety flesh eater, says Fuller. The character thinks
of his victims like this: “You are a pig of a human being and you deserve
to become someone’s bacon.”
