Appetizers for your Time Lord-approved feast
Section 2 (2 paragraphs): Appetizers for your Time Lord-approved feast
Paragraph 1 (120 words): The key to any great party is to offer a variety of finger foods that can be eaten with ease.
For a fruit tray with an inter-dimensional twist, add the Mistletoe Fruit, which is native to the planet Trenzalore in the episode, “The Time of the Doctor.” It is said to bloom for a few moments every 1,000 years, right before the town’s fall. For Dalek-topped Deviled Eggs, simply top your hardboiled egg halves with a ring of red pepper and add a craft stick with the Daleks’ recognizable plunger to complete the look. Sonic Screwdriver Silly Sausages are nothing more than flavored or colored pastry wrapped around sausages, but to make ’em a little more fun add little sleeves with mustard or ketchup stripes, and don’t forget the Scrambling Sonic Shades or a Sonic Screwdriver to complete the presentation. Cybermats are little silver-colored creatures that the Cybermen use to access systems or to get to control items such as humans. To make your version, place small black olives or stuffed dates on a platter and decorate them with slivered almonds to look like tiny robots, and serve with crackers or a piece of bread!
For your Doctor Who party, put out a colorful fruit tray, stocked with exotic fruits seen on your favorite episodes.
Paragraph 2 (120 words): Satisfy your guests’ cravings with some delectable starters influenced by key characteristics of the show. Our suggestions include Dalek-topped Deviled Eggs, Sonic Screwdriver Silly Sausages, and Cybermats, made with black-colored olives or stuffed dates.
If your guests prefer dairy, you can also surprise them with Ood Eyes, or mini mozzarella balls you can serve with a sliver of black olive as the Ood’s optic nerve, and the Toclafane’s Planet Earth-inspired Meatballs, which are super easy to make. For dessert, we recommend the Doctor’s favorite, Jammie Dodgers, which are British biscuits usually filled with raspberry or strawberry jam, but you can also use other fillings, like Nutella, white chocolate or blueberry jam. If you are feeling adventurous you can also bake some Adipose Marshmallow Pops, which are marshmallows covered in white fondant to resemble the shape of the little Adipose, and stick them in a lollipop stick. Your guests will be impressed with the attention to detail.
Remember that the Doctor’s adventures have taken him to far-off galaxies and different periods in history, so don’t be afraid to get creative with your party food. With these delicious recipes, you’re sure to please both Whovians and non-Whovians.
