Spooky Food for Spooky Season - Eliv Thade Sandwich

Hello!

This will be the last spooky food for this 2021 spooky season 😊 I've got so many things to do before Samhain/Halloween that I am forced to publish this today. And what is "this", you might ask? This is the amazingly weird Eliv Thade Sandwich - A rather odd looking bap filled with lettuce, tomato and some strange purple stuff. Now I must confess that as odd as this might be, this sandwich was very pleasant to eat and, mind you, reasonably healthy I dare to say. I used beetroot for the strange purple stuff and the buns I made turned out odd looking enough for this so... win win! 

Enjoy!

Happy Samhain/Halloween 🎃

The food will be rated from 1 to 5 stars, meaning:

⭐ - This could be part of gross foods! Ugh :(

⭐⭐ - Waste of ingredients but edible...

⭐⭐⭐ - Ok. Not my favourite thing but also not that bad

⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Now this has a lot of neopotential :D

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Wow! Was this created by fairies?! Yummy!

Now remember that this is, obviously, my opinion only ;)

Eliv Thade Sandwich - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - I rated this sandwich with four stars because the combination of flavours was really good. Lettuce, tomato, beetroot and mayo all stuffed in a fluffy steamed bun. What could possible come out wrong? 😋

Spooky Food for Spooky Season - Cold Apple Cider

Hello!

Today I have a seasonal drink (not a spooky food) just to wash down all the spooky food I've been making so far :D This is the Cold Apple Cider - A refreshing sweet cider made of fresh apples. And let me tell you, this was delicious! Specially after adding some vodka in it 😏

I did make an apple cider for this season last year as well - here's a connection if you want to check it out - but it was the hot apple cider and by that time I was already guessing I prefered it cold... and I was right 😋 

Enjoy!

Cold Apple Cider - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - I gave this drink a rating of five stars because this has to be one of the most delicious drinks I've ever made! I made the needed adjustments considering last year's recipe and it is a cold drink which is a total winner in my books ^_^ Yummy!!!

Spooky Food for Spooky Season - Spyder Eggs

Hello!

Today I bring you a delicious recipe for any spooky table. And better yet, a food from Neopia! :D These are the Spyder Eggs - You might want to watch out when you try to reach for one of these eggs... - they are not very different from your regular and classic deviled eggs, well, at least the version I've made of them is not 😃

This is a spooky food I really wanted to make because it's easy, spooky in a cute way and in all honesty it's a good one to make me recover from the brain ones 😅

Enjoy!

Spyder Eggs - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - I love eggs! I absolutely adore eggs! And I love deviled eggs and this food is not very far from a deviled egg so I knew just with how many stars I was going to rate it. Five stars for the Spyder Eggs, without a shadow of a doubt!

Spooky Food for Spooky Season - Squishy Brain Wrap

Hello!

Today on the Spooky Food for Spooky Season series I have another brainy recipe for you. The Squishy Brain Wrap - Edna claims this will make you smarter if you eat it... I doubt that! was most likely the biggest challenge I've ever been through when it comes to eating different foods (believe me, I have already tried mealworms and as amazing as it may seem it wasn't as unpleasant as eating brain). As you know, I had already tried brain in my previous neopian recipe and it wasn't such a success. This time it was even worse! I don't know if it was the combo of those sauces with the brain (I added sour cream sauce and garlic mayo), if I was already mentally uncomfortable of having to eat it again, or if it was just the fact (and I need to accept it) that I don't like brain.

Whatever it is, I am clearly not a fan of brain. I even left the wrap on my table so when my hunger would kick in with more strength, I would try it again. And I did. And I confess... I threw it away 😖 this was the first time I threw a neopian food in the litter bin, I'm not proud of it (far from it!) and I can assure you I will never make any more brain foods! 

Other than that... enjoy! (?)

Now remember that this is, obviously, my opinion only ;)

Squishy Brain Wrap - X - I know this is not supposed to happen but the truth is this food, for me, does not deserve not even one star, I'm sorry (I really am!). I was honestly repulsed by this food and I must also mention that if it wasn't for the entertainment purpose only I wouldn't even have tasted it. That's how bad it was for me (and believe me when I say it takes a lot for a food to have this effect on me due to flavour). No more bainy foods for me, thanks! 😕

Spooky Food for Spooky Season - Spaghetti and Brains

Hello!

You can not believe how happy I was when, this year, I was able to get this ingredient to make some spooky dishes - pork's brain!

Last year I tried to get it but the butcher simply wouldn't order it giving me a ton of excuses. Well this year was different. Not only did I get it, but I also wasn't charged for it 😁 of course I had to make a huge order of meat to get the brain (I added my mom's meat order to mine to make a big one) but at least we got the brain 😊

Now, I must say this was my first time preparing and cooking this ingredient and Spaghetti and Brains - This messy dish has chunks of brain mixed in with the pasta - seemed like the perfect spooky food to start with this ingredient. And it was! It's just a shame that I honestly don't fancy brain as a food 😕 maybe it has something to do with the aroma, or the texture, maybe I should have used spaghetti instead of noodles (the aroma is different), maybe I didn't prepare the brain properly (I did wash it well and got rid of most of the fat and outer membrane - and I even added lemon juice! 😩)... or maybe this ingredient has some psychological effect on me. Maybe "all of the above". I don't know *shrugs*. I still have one recipe to go using this ingredient... lets see... but for now... 

Enjoy!

Spaghetti and Brains - ⭐⭐⭐ - three stars and with some sacrifice 😐 the noodles, egg and ketchup were alright but I did not enjoy the aroma of the brain, nor the texture. And I also believe my own brain created a barrier towards this ingredient. So, yeah, this was spaghetti and brains just for you 😅

Spooky food for Spooky season - Deadly Apple Pie

Hello!
Spooky season just arrived! October is here and I am already feeling very anxious about the 31st of this month 😃 but as that date is still a few days away from now, I am going to make some spooky foods and, who knows, this might serve as inspiration for you to make something different to go with this spooky ambience 🎃
I'm starting off the season with a very simple dish, the Deadly Apple Pie - A slice from this pie would probably be your last. Of course I didn't make this deadly in any way, unless you consider "a pie to die for" as something related 😂
For this I used my favourite apple pie recipe and I have made it totally from scratch using my favourite dough recipe as well. I also used some strawberry topping to decorate those angry eyes :D
Enjoy!

Deadly Apple Pie - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - This "deadly" apple pie receives five stars for the simple fact that this happens to be my favourite sweet pie. Give me apple pie anytime, anywhere and I'll be a happy girl 💓
