What do you normally eat on Halloween that isn't a gross novelty food?

Answer 1

Warm apple cider or hot chocolate, freshly fried homemade donuts, caramel apples, hot dogs roasted over a bonfire...mmm, now I'm hungry!

Answer 2

Traditionally, in the British Isles, Halloween use to be called Nut Crack Night because it was customary to have nuts, especially roasted chestnuts at parties. It was also common to bake small cakes containing charms which were supposed to indicate what lie ahead for those people; The cake containing a ring meant that person would marry soon. The one with the button meant that person would be an old bachelor; the one with a thimble-an old maid. A clean peice of rag meant poverty. I always thought it would be cool to hollow out a pumpkin and fill it with spiked cidar, but, beyond that, I don't have any customary meal.

Answer 3

Pumpkin Rolls, Pumpkin cakes. Squash. All fall foods serve for halloween.

Answer 4

Just candy in general, any kind, any brand. Halloween is really just a reason to pig out. And also popcorn fro the scary movies.

Answer 5

I prefer to eat real food, but give it gross names. I make a menu on my white board and name and describe the dishes I make up.

I start, often, with "Cannibal Soup". It is described as "hearts, pod peaple (a joke word), sliced stalkers, bits of ears, and toes-- hold the eyes!" Ironically, it is a vegetable soup. The "hearts" are whole tomatoes, the "pod peaple" are peas and beans, "sliced stalkers" are slices of celery, the "bits of ears" are corn, and the "toes" are potaTOES-- "hold the eyes" meaning don't put any potato eyes in the mix. I also throw in lots of spices, like basil, nutmeg, oregano, thyme, rosemary, paprika, and more. It's so rich and "hearty", it often becomes the main course!

Sometimes I make a whole dinner. On those occasions, I have "worms in meaty blood sauce," which is, of course, spaghetti and sauce with ground meat in it. Personally, having a vegetarian in the family, I use ground Boca burger (veggie burger). Plus, it's lower in fat and quicker to heat up-- no need to brown it!

I often have "vampire repelling talismans"-- garlic cheese biscuits made from a package. I am working on a recipe to convert them into "vampire repelling werewolf burgers" using Morningstar vegetarian sausage patties.

I usually have "moon cookies" (sugar cookies), "graveyard cakes" (cupcakes with crumbled oreo and gummy worms), and lots of candy, but I'm trying to find a large deep metal cushioned realistically shaped bat cookie cutter so I can make "brown bats"-- bats cut out of brownies.

For a drink, I serve a choice-- "witch's brew" (tea) or "the mad scientist's bubbling concoction" (cola).

I also intend, with a nod to the "Samantha Slade, Monster Sitter" books by Susan Smith, intend to make my own version of Dragon Krispies-- potato peelings covered with chili seasonings and fried super crispy.

Think about it-- you can come up with creepy names for lots of ordinary foods. Kids love it and even teens can get into it. The other choices are to serve really gross and weird foods like peeled grapes and stuff and try to pass it off as body parts (fine for most tough little boys, but a bit weird for a lot of kids and adults), have ordinary food with ordinary names, like pizza or burgers (boring but tasty enough to please), have truly super gross food (like real steak tartare, blood pudding, and sushi-- gross stuff to those who haven't had it-- and you could also try serving a tiny octopus to each guest, or other truly weird food). or you can decorate your dining area truly super creepy and serve a very nice dinner (like steak, mashed potatoes, gravy, sauteed vegetables, rolls, and wine or sparkling grape juice/cider) while keeping an atmosphere of a formal dinner as if held in the Addams family house or a vampire's home. Whatever kind of dinner and food you choose, I hope it will be memorable and fun for you. Happy Haunting!
