What do people eat for a Halloween dinner ?

Question

What do people eat for Halloween ? Other than candy ?
Give me a specific list of foods, please. Be ironic...
In other words, people have a tendency to eat baked or
fried chicken, on a Sunday. So what do people eat
on Halloween, other than candy ? What is the typical
dinner for that holiday? Best answer wins.

Answer 1

Whatever they like.

Answer 2

Well, everyone is different in there likes.. Anything goes in our house. But for drink, Cider, and for desert, Pumpkin Pie. I think Sweet Potatoes or Candied Yams are great with a veggie and either Ham or other well liked Meat. When my kids were small, I usually was too busy walking them around house to house after school, to then start cooking a big meal. So sometimes it was just good old Pizza!

Answer 3

I remember last year I went out for chinese food with some friends. And the year before that we ordered pizza. I think most people with kids probably order inpizza or something on trick or treat night because it's too hard to get the kids ready to go out and cook dinner at the same time!
But when I was little my mom used to make chili around this time of the year!! yummmy! :)

Answer 4

I've never had any special dinner for Halloween. But it has to be in a crockpot, simmering on the stove, or a casserole in the oven. That way we can pick at it in between doorbell rings to hand out candy.

Answer 5

Chili is great for a family dinner or a party. Make a double batch for a larger crowd. Great with apple cider. If you are having a party, serve Bat Wings as an appetizer. Have pumpkin pie for dessert.

CHILI CON CARNE

2 lb. ground chuck
8 strips bacon
2 onion chopped
2 green pepper chopped
4 stalks celery chopped
6 cloves garlic crushed
2 cans (28 oz.) crushed tomatoes
2 cans light red beans
1 tsp. each - ground cumin, basil, oregano, parsley, paprika, red pepper flakes
4-6 tsp. chili powder
Black pepper to taste
Salt to taste

Chop bacon and fry in large kettle until lightly crispy. Remove bacon and add to kettle ground beef, onion, garlic, and all spices and herbs. Cook until beef is browned and onion is transparent. Add celery and green pepper. Cook until vegetables are tender. Add tomatoes, cooked bacon, and beef broth. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Add beans and cook 2 hours longer. (The longer the chili is cooked the better it tastes.) Top with shredded cheddar cheese. Serve with cornbread or crackers.

BAT WINGS WITH SWAMP DIP (Appetizer)

20 chicken wings (3-1/2 pounds)
1/2 c. soy sauce
2 tsp. grated fresh ginger or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
1 tsp. five spice powder
2 cloves garlic, minced
Swamp Dip (see below)

Place wings in a plastic bag set in a shallow dish. In a small bowl stir together soy sauce, ginger, crushed red pepper, five spice powder and garlic. Pour over wings. Close bag and toss to coat. Chill in refrigerator several hours or overnight, turning bag occasionally.

When ready to cook, remove wings from bag, reserving marinade. Place wings on a foil-lined 15 x10 x1-inch baking pan. Bake uncovered in a 450 F. oven for 10 minutes. Brush with reserved marinade (discard remaining marinade). Bake 15 to 20 minutes longer or until chicken is tender and no longer pink. Serve with Swamp Dip. Makes 20 appetizers.

Swamp Dip:

In a small bowl stir together an 8-ounce container of dairy sour cream and 3 tablespoons coarse ground mustard. Garnish with fresh whole chives. Serve with bat wings.

Answer 6

Try apple cider. Put ketchup on some things to look like blood. Also change your condiments to wine bottles or something like that and take off the label and tape on one that says poisonous 'vinegar oil'. Also try food network.com in the holidays section. There is a wide variety of choices.

Answer 7

Everyone I know eats regular food, whatever they want from steak to fried chicken or tacos to whatever. When I was a kid we always headed to Taco Time for supper before going to the mall to trick or treat.

Answer 8

I know a lot of people who eat spaghetti with "eyeballs" for halloween dinner. Or spooky tacos with olives that look like eyes. Also, I have seen people make meatloaf into the shape of a man and douse him with ketchup "bloody man meatloaf".

Those are all pretty good meal ideas. Most kids like those foods and will eat them before they load up on all the candy.

Answer 9

Fruits. Bananas are my favorite. btw did you know that tomatoes are the #1 selling fresh fruit? true beans

Answer 10

fruit grows on shrub or vines and fresh vegetables grow in the land.

Answer 11

we usually have something simple but rib sticking since we are busy trick or treating, like spaghetti and meatballs or sloppy joes. Chili is good too. I always decorate the table with candles and we eat in the dim. I also read James Whitcomb Riley's poem Little Orphant Annie.
