Brews & Horror d'Oeuvres

[Pyoopi]

Upon entering the Bell Tree Manor, you hear a methodical chopping noise down the hallway. You're filled immediate dread but soon realize there's a familiarity to it like someone preparing a meal. The constant, tok tok tok, entices you to move closer where you find a door emitting a warm glow. Ah! It appears to be a bustling kitchen and you enter hastily to be greeted by the line of cooks. However, you are the only one standing in the dark, derelict kitchen. There's ingredients strewn about, pots and cutlery ready to use but where's the chef? Interesting...

Witch's poison and Werewolf paws

The drink I created is a black margarita that's rimmed with green sugar crystals. For my hors d'oeuvres, they're madeleines covered in a hazelnut frosting with almond halves as claws. Two of the paws are sprinkled with the green sugar.

Frequently Asked Questions

---

Q. How will the Halloween Favorites be decided?
A. The staff will review and nominate entries to go to a community poll. Only entries submitted by 2:59pm EST on Sunday the 31st of October 2021 will be eligible to be nominated.

Q. What counts as a hors d'oeuvre?
A. Generally, it's a small savory dish that's served before or with a meal. Think of small bites, snacks and finger foods. Both flavors savory and sweet will be accepted.

Q. When you say, 'minimum of 3 hors d'oeuvres', does that mean we have to make 3 dishes or is 3 pieces of the same dish?
A. You must make three pieces of the same dish. For instance, if you plan on baking pumpkin cookies, you will need three pumpkin cookies shown in your entry.

Q. Can I make one large dish instead of hors d'oeuvres?
A. No, this event calls for small eats and only hors d'oeuvres, appetizers, tapas, and snacks will be accepted.

Q. Can I use food dye in water for my brew?
A. As long as it's decorated in a spooky or Halloween manner!

I have a question about this event if ya don't mind!

Of course our food/drink is important, but is presentation also considered for Acceptance/Halloween Favorites? Say the kinds of dishes you use, or what you might put around it? (Like the rats or candles in Pyoopi's example!). Also, are we allowed to use multiple photos to show process/proof (as a drink may not be easily visible in a opaque mug) of theme?

The presentation is more of an extra fun bit if you're feeling extra spooky-spirited. The focus is more on the food and/or the drink itself you create! So if you just have pink plates but your food is very Halloweeny, you're not going to be judged for using happy, pink plates.

If you want to show more than one photo, that's fine but place them in spoilers separate from your main entry photo. The single photo you choose to be your official entry will be the one judged for Halloween Favorites.

I have a question - can frosted cookies count as a “sweet” appetizer? I know they are technically desserts but I have all the supplies for Halloween cookies I’m planning on making, so I just want to check to see if they would work for this event

Edit: nevermind I see pumpkin cookies was used as an example in the FAQ. ignore me!!

Yes, that's fine! In my example I made a margarita.

Hi! I don't have access to any foods I can put together for a decoration. Is it okay if I draw mine for my submission?

Sorry, this event calls for physical foods or drinks only to be accepted.

 

[TheDikTatorTot]

:/ ok. That's really disappointing. I would have loved to play.

 

[Princess Mipha]

We don't have to do it the same day that we get the key, if I understood correctly, right ?
Because I've got an idea but need to buy some stuff for it before

 

[Plainbluetees]

What does a vampire drink on his day off?

Spoiler: Answer

Blood Light.

Full Moon Drink

This non-alcoholic creation meant to imitate blood liquor is made with sparkling water, Splenda, orange food coloring, vanilla food syrup, and a hint of lemon. The bright orange color is achieved by pouring in the Splenda and food coloring at the same time. To finish it off, it’s poured into a galaxy colored mug and served with an orange pineapple pick.

Spoiler: My drink (ignore the hot sauce in the background lol)

[King koopa]

Here's mine!

I call it, the haunted glass of water! How did it get orange? Why did it get orange? No one knows..... It's not recommended for human consumption though. This was made with maple syrup and water mixed together to get the orange color! Beware the haunted glass of water, everone!

Here is mine. I'm calling it Vampire's Delight.

For the drink: berry punch bottom layer, strawberries and cool whip blended middle layer, cool whip top layer, red sprinkles topping on glass.

For the cookies: chocolate chip cookies, red icing, marshmallows, and almond slivers for the fangs, lol.

Spoiler

I wasn't sure if we had to choose either drink/snack or if we could do both. So here's the cookies if we can only do one.
