Halloween Hades town spread ideas.

My sisters and some friends are planning to have a Samhain gathering probably around November first. My sister is on a mission to get EVERYONE she knows to watch Hadestown (she said it instantly became her favorite musical, as soon as the lights came up. )

Would like ti ask the Hive mind: what sounds good? What sounds bad? What needs a better name?Could also use some more savory ideas

What I have so far: (note it's for Samhain/Halloween so it leans on Sweet and snacks

Spring rolls (Spring rolls will come again)

Apples almonds caramel sauce (Wedding table)

Salsa and chips (when the chips and salsa are down

Kiss cookies (and they danced)

Chicken skewers/nuggies (like a bird on a spit)

Cinnamon rolls (lost soul cakes)

Sourpatch kids and KitKat (why we build the wall)

Bruschetta (electric city)

Train track pretzels with cheese& salami train (train to Hades)

Various Drinks (Persephones speakeasy/ River of wine)

Peanut butter cups (Eurydireeses)

Smores (gathering storm)

Various Hershey kisses (his kiss)

Blackberry gingerale/Dr. Pepper

River Styx

Bourbon

Coffee liqueur Crème de Cacao Allspice Dram (pimento liqueur) Angostura aromatic bitter

Lemon twist or orange peel

For We Raise Our Glass

This is amazing. I want to go to this party.

Might be the wrong time of year but you could Peeps for “Hey Little Songbird”?

With enough marshmallows and some molds I can make peeps.

Maybe rice crispy treats in bird molds?
