I love the gross out foods too!!

Usually the foods are pretty similiar each year, it just depends on the theme what names I come up with for each dish.

Words can sting like anything. But silence breaks the heart.

Edible Corpse

I had a blast one time making an edible corpse.

Brain: Crab spread made in brain mold
Head: Meatloaf w/ bloody sauce, Deviled egg eyes, almond teeth
Adam's apple: Baked apple with gummy worms
Ribs: Two racks of ribs
Heart: Jello with licorce whips as veins & bag of red, dyed cornstarch so when you stabbed it, it bled
Stomach: Bowl of gaucamole
Arms: Subs
Hands & Fingers: Bread/sticks
Intrails: Long roll of string cheese
Genitals: Pomegranite for nads & cheese filled bratwurst
Legs: Veggies
Feet: Pumpkin bread

You must use surgical tools as serving utensils:)

I like that edible corpse idea! I might have to work on that for this year.

It's not a food, but I freeze green tinted (food coloring) water in latex gloves for use in coolers and cold trays. I've even been known to paint on black finger nails. Just a little more eye candy.

Hi, by the way, I just joined SinisterSpace and I love it all ready.

Everything louder than everything else!!!

Ice tricks

I love the latex gloves ice deal! I once made an eyeball drink once like that. I put a pineapple slice as a retna & licorice whips as veins in a bowl & froze it. Took it out of the bowl & flipped it in a punch so this huge eyeball was hovering in it. Not so impressive after several hours.

I used to go crazy with the food, too, but most of it never got eaten, so I've pared it down a bit. There are always to 2 different punches, one "leaded" and one "unleaded" (for the drivers and my son & his friends). I, too, make the icy hands and float them in the bowl. Everyone always gets a kick out of them, even though it's the easiest thing in the world to do.

In the past, I've made Kitty Litter Cake and almost nobody ate it, it looked so real! (Maybe it was because I also have 4 cats....hmmmm.....) I've made a Caterpillar sandwich, was was a loaf of French Bread sliced like you would for sandwiches, but not all the way through. Mayo on each side of the "slices", stuffed with ham and cheese in between. Heated in the oven so the cheese melts. Add toothpicks with olives on the end for eyes , add some quacamole for dipping ("smashed caterpillar guts") and Voila! You've got a winner!

Circus peanuts

I like to get the orange circus peanuts cut out a tip & insert red hot tamales (the jelly bean looking candies) as fingernails.

Party Menu Ideas

What kind of food does everyone serve at their bash? Our parties have gotten so big that we now have a Gross Grub contest every year. Each guest brings a disgusting delight and we vote on the best one. Everyone has a blast coming up with new ideas every year AND I don't have to make all of the food myself.

The last time I did a full menu, we served:

Coagulated Blood Balls (meatballs)
Spinal Cord Spirals (sliced wraps)
Savory Brain Shrimp Spread
Hauntery Jack Cheeseball
Vampire Vomit (hot artichoke dip w/green food coloring)
Shaved Skin on Musty Crusts (cheese and crackers)
Bread of the Dead
Witches Fingers (cookies)
Ginger-Dead Men
Kitty Litter Cake
Dragon's Blood
Pina Ghouladas

I have some great photos of some of these, but they aren't digital. I'll try to scan them and post later.

Help

I need ideas. the theme is Masquerade theater. Universal monsters are the basis, specifically Phantom of the opera.
