Princess Bride Fans Look Here;)

[mormishmom]

As you wish .. . LOL

I need some food suggestions for a Princess Bride (the book) party/book club I'm hosting at the beginning of May. You ladies are some of the most creative gals I "know", so can you give me some ideas of themed food I could serve to a group of about 20 people.

Thank you in advance!

I've never read the book, but based on the movie...

I think the key will be labeling all the food with cute little signs on toothpicks or something. Maybe some "Humperdinckel" (pumpernickel) sandwiches, cookies in the shape of a Buttercup and make sure you serve your coffee or tea with a bowl of "Iocane powder" (sugar) for them to add to it.

[LeeAndra]

Of course, R.O.U.S. come to mind, but definitely not to incorporate into your food! *lol*

I really like Tracy's ideas. If I think of something else... I will come back and post.

[mormishmom]

Thanks, Tracy! Those are fab ideas!

Ooh, maybe I could make an ROUS cake! Yuck! LOL

I think I'll make Max's Miracle Pills (ie cake balls!) - it came to me in a dream last night.

You could make an "As you Wish Dish" and have it be some yummy desert...

You could also have giant size goodies...

or maybe something with a mask...or sword...could have little appitizers with swords in em...

[crecia27]

no ideas - but that sounds like fun!!

[ShawnaMama]

Love Tracy's ideas! Let us know how it goes!

Another idea with the Iocane Powder is to have tiny vials of it tied to punch glasses and serve the glasses with punch in it.

Fezzik Fingers (sausage wrapped in biscuits).

Princess Buttercup Butter Cups. (Reeces wrapped in paper doilies)

[mormishmom]

You ladies are so great! Keep 'em coming!

[Valgal]

Kinda cheesy, but maybe some of those haystack things, like for Wesley as the stable boy? LOL! Oh gosh, that sounds even sillier now that I've typed it out.

Food: Serve Iocane Powder Punch in plastic goblets. Any punch mix will do; it’s the name that makes it. It might be fun, depending on the crowd, to selectively add food coloring to some of the goblets’ contents so a few people with stained mouths turn up “poisoned.” Then you’d also have to have “Ressurection” Chocolate Truffles, round ones that look like the medicine Miracle Max used to revive the mostly-dead Westley. Also, since it’s movie time, popcorn, but maybe do something out of the ordinary with it. Add bowls of peanuts scattered around with signs that say, “No more rhymes now, I mean it! Anybody want a peanut?” Some salted, some candied, some otherwise flavored. If you want more substantial food, add items from the wedding feast (in the room where Inigo Montoya confronts the six-fingered man), including roasted chicken, grapes, and a wedding cake.

[Stephanie Ogren]

HA all I can think of from that movie is the Brute Squad. Cracks me up

[Penny Springmann]

LOL...these are great ideas! I might have to have a PB party just for the fun of it! I think an ROUS cake would be gross but funny!

[trudem]

OMG this is totally one of my fave books ever! And of course you gotta love the movie.

Maybe make a cake shaped like a big rat, and then along with forks the kids get wee (plastic) swords to cut up their slices? LOL I don't have much too add, everyone's suggestions are so good!

[lizzyfizzy]

i has to be said, "my name es inigo montoya ju killed my father prepare tu die!"

Transfer to a warm fondue pot. Serve with your choice of fresh strawberries, banana slices, appled wedges, pound cake, lady fingers, and biscotti for dipping.
