As promised, here's the preparation info.
<i>Mangue Sanglante Margaritas</i>
These are just frozen mango margaritas--tequila, mango juice, triple sec, blended together with ice (twice as much tequila as the sum of the mango juice and triple sec)--with some red food coloring thrown in.
<i>Boulettes Chinoises en Placenta</i>
Get some frozen dumplings; we used beef. Boil them in the usual manner, but add some dark juice to dye them. We used chokeberry juice because we had just gotten a bottle at the local International Market. Also prepare a lumpy, bloody-looking syrup--we used chokeberry juice with raspberries and blueberries in it, cooked down with some cornstarch. That's your "placenta." Serve the dumplings and pour the placenta over them.
<i>Fetus-On-A-Stick</i>
Get some shrimp. Peel them, but leave the tails on them. Then boil them. Then pat them dry, and dip them in coconut tempura batter (egg yolk, flour, ice water, a little baking soda, and grated coconut). Deep-fry them for a couple minutes, take them out, and serve them on skewers.
<i>Quesadillas “porc long” fromage noir avec pommes</i>
Cut a pork loin into medallions. Marinate them for a few hours in lime juice, cumin, coriander, and cayenne. Grill them to char them a little. Then prepare your "black cheese" (this is one of the ongoing features of our D&D campaign; any stinky cheese will do. I think we used cambezola (yeah, halfway between camembert and gorgonzola) as the slightly-runny sticky binder cheese, and crumbles of something French, blue, and stinky. If you want you can add food coloring to make it blacker) and peel and slice up a few apples (we used Gala apples; anything but Granny Smith is probably OK). Put the apples, cheese, and pork inside tortillas, and heat them in a pan until the cheese melts and the tortilla is a little charred.
<i>Hankey Cornwallis</i>
Boil some ears of corn. Also, take a pan. Put some good olive oil in it, and fry some annatto seeds so the oil turns reddish-brown. Remove the seeds and drizzle the oil over the corn.
<i>Gâteau Rouge De Diable</i>
Red Devil Cake. We used the recipe in James Beard's <i>American Cookery</i> and his recipe for boiled white frosting, which I dyed a hideous pink with food coloring. Probably any Red Devil Cake recipe would work fine.
<i>Foetus d'homme de lézard en crème de chaux</i>
This is the Not-Key-Lime pie previously posted, with Sour Skittles added to the custard before baking. They do make crunchy, chewy lizardman fetuses, but honestly the pie is better without them.
