The Oscars are this Sunday, which means watch parties in people’s living rooms, which means the weirdest collections of potluck food you’ll ever find. If you’re going for a movie theme, then nothing about an Oscars-party menu will make sense because you’ve got to work backwards from the food names; the point is the pun, and the food is just a plus. And when you’re sacrificing edibility for concept, those puns better not be half-baked. So here are 23 ideas for your watch-party menu this year, recipes not included.
A Meal(ia) Perez Starring Karla Sofia Gastronomy
This will be the name of your menu.
A Confit Unknown
You won’t have to be scrounging for your next meal when you serve a decadent duck confit! This dish doubles as a nod to star Timothée Chalamet’s terminal Frenchness.
The Strudelist
Did you know Hungarian Jews (like our boy Lazlo) have a famed savory strudel? They made it with cabbage. But don’t worry: If you’d rather leave the Old World behind and serve a sugary-sweet American/Germanic apple strudel, you can say you’re “echoing themes of the film.”
A Real Pain au Chocolat
Written by, directed by, and starring Patisserie Eisenberg.
Flowzen Flowgurt
With capyberries.
FonDune: Part 2
Spice the fondue up as you wish, and Muad’dip whatever you’d like in it.
Beignet Gesserit
Yum!
Pickle Boys
Pickles.
Steak au POV
Another Nickel Boys homage. It would have been a French Dip, but Au Jus Ellis-Taylor was snubbed!
Chili Con Clave
These cardinals are real spicy and full o’ beans!
Molten Conclava Cake
Only the Fiennes-est.
Popecorn
Duh.
Beef Stroganora
It’s Russian — and a really easy potluck food!
Chicken Stripper With a Crust of Gold
An Anora dish for pickier eaters.
One Shortcake in the Emerald City
… One shortcake full of so much to chew!
Flying Dunkies
This is just a box of Munchkins. Which … actually works even better.
The Glizzard and I
Hot dogs with relish!
The Sloshcars Hosted by Conan Imbibin’
This will be the name of your bar/drinks area.
Cardinal Bellini
This is going to be the showstopper cocktail of the evening — not just because it’s a delicious frozen peach drink, but because you’re going to present it with a fancy mixology dry-ice effect to simulate white Pope-smoke.
The Innocentius
A nonalcoholic Cardinal Bellini.
Amstel Here
Beer!
Shiraz-lo Toth
Wine!
The Substance
Any neon-green batch cocktail. Probably an appletini. Use high Qualley-ty booze.
