For Snow White, we have the basics for food (gooseberry pie...if gooseberries still exist) and drinks (Snow White Russians, poison appletinis), but we don't really know what to do from there. We'd like to make something tasty, and a drink or two, themed to each film, but there just don't seem to be obvious choices for all of them. Of course we know some for sure (tacos and margaritas for Three Caballeros, mai tais for Lilo and Stitch, venison for Bambi-too soon?), but we're completely lost for most of them. Are there any specific mentions of food in films that would be good to make? Any foods that you've always associated with a particular film? You guys always know the best random details from the films, so any ideas would be great!

Not technically mentione din the film but middle eastern..

Lady tramp had some good ideas, i like the jungle book one the best. Princess and the frog you have to do gumbo! For peter pan or princess frog i found an alligator martini recipe Sex With An Alligator Martini Recipie Sex with an Alligator doesn't sound plesant or safe but the martini "Sex with an Alligator" is actually quite sweet & tastey. 2 parts Coconut Rum 2 parts Midori Melon Liqueur 2 parts Pineapple Juice 1 part Jägermeister 1 splash Chambord Pour Rum, Midori and Pineapple Juice on ice in shaker. Strain into chilled Martini Glass. Drizzle with Chambord and let settle on bottom of glass. Top with Jägermeister.

Peter Pan - pirate food <a href="http://www.gone-ta-pott.com/Pirate_Food.html" target="_blank">http://www.gone-ta-pott.com/Pi...ood.html</a> also, rum and/or Pixie Stix Martini Home on the Range - Texas style breakfast (country fried steak, eggs, roast potatoes) or any kind of ranch type fare Atlantis and/or Treasure Planet - (nothing specific but here are some ideas for a party with a sci-fi theme <a href="http://www.grumpyfrenchman.net/?p=93" target="_blank">http://www.grumpyfrenchman.net/?p=93</a> ) Princess and the Frog -("frog" legs, creole cuisine: jambalaya, crawfish casserole, gumbo, beignets) Emperor's New Groove - Brazilian cuisine (or you could go with a diner theme like the one Kuzco and Pacha find) okay.. I promise that's it ... but maybe that'll get the mental (and gastric) juices flowing for other ideas

Anyway, it has eyeballs floating in it. There's also the fruit everyone eats...parps? And Doppler eats Alponian chowder. Atlantis: beans, bacon, whiskey and lard (Cookie's 4 food groups) Stitch's Cousins <a href="http://www.whatsitsgalore.com/disney/stitch.html" target="_blank">http://www.whatsitsgalore.com/...tch.html</a>

Or just Oreos and milk. Or you could think of a human equivalent of Kanine Krunchies. Dumbo - maybe in addition to peanuts other type of circus or midway fare ... popcorn, corn dogs, elephant ears (like funnel cakes but not drizzled) cotton candy ... not sure how good those will go with Redhead's Pink Elephant drink, though (and that's inspired!) Hercules - Greek/Mediterranean cuisine .... pita bread, gyros, hummus, olives... also ambrosia salad ... and/or anything with honey (nectar of the gods) and maybe a What the Hell drink. Robin Hood - pretty much anything with Renaissance Fair type theme. Ale or beer or Bulls Eye cocktail Winnie the Pooh - anything with honey, also perhaps a carrot cake (for Rabbit), and some kind of nut dish (Piglet likes haycorns). In the books, Tigger likes Roo's strengthening medicine, which I think was some kind of malt ... so maybe a chocolate martini (a bit of a stretch, I know ... or maybe BOUNCE) TTFN

I'm kind of sad that some of these will take a while to get to, but it just makes me that much more excited for it!

I'll be sure to let you know!
