Thread: True Blood Watchers - what should I make edible Talbot out of?

Tweet

Yeah, you read that right

I got a fun apothecary jar that I'm using for Talbot's "urn" that Russell carries around, and I want to put something red, gooey, and edible inside and have it on my buffet table, but I'm not sure where to go. I'm having a louisiana themed party with vampires, voodoo, bayou and mardi gras decor - haven;t nailed down my menu yet, probably some sort of cajun entree/hors d'ouvres and a lot of desserts.

Some thoughts:

Strawberry or raspberry compote, to serve on cheesecake

cranberry relish would be good texture, but not really fit with any of the food ideas

Jello is a good buffet food, but not really gooey/creepy enough

Salsa ?

Other ideas???

it could be your punch bowl. chop some raspberries and strawberries up and use them as "texture"

Heather I loved your wonderland theme... I can't wait to see what you do with this true blood blood theme... especially since I looooove the show.

Please post pics of your buffet when you are done!

Pizza fondue, perhaps?

put cheese ball in it? you could problely dye it red right?

You can try watergate salad. It's made with pistachio pudding, crushed pineapples w/ the juice, mini marshmallows, chopped nuts and whipped topping. Add all that together plus red food coloring and it should be just about right.

There is a raspberry jalapeño jelly that I pour over a bar of cream cheese that I think could do the trick. If you want it gooey - er, You can place a crescent roll in the bottom of a pie pan place the cream cheese and jelly and then top with another crescent roll. Bake according to crescent roll directions. When you cut into it - it should be the right texture. Good luck! sounds like a great theme!

Vodka or Rum infused watermelon chunks

(Cut Watermelon in half, pour in alcohol... how much depends on you, cover in plastic wrap, chill for a couple of hours, then cut into chunks)

If it is not chunky enough... add straberries or other red fruits.
