Seeing as no one has any food play in their history, Anyone hosted some interesting Dinner dates? I frequently hosted some interesting dinner dates for our friends in my youth. One such stands out...it was a Mystery Dinner, sounds boring believe me it was NOT.
Setting and dress code was black and white, not formal though. I made up a nice menu...and had 2 friends help me cater and serve. Everyone had to PAY to be able to enter the house...by solving a riddle or telling a JOKE everyone had to laugh not you had to eat a dried mopani wurm...which NO ONE wanted to digest.(Not even Me) So Jokes was the norm..
Giving Each person a menu and pen and a list to what they wanted served as an starter, for dinner, and pudding Tea/coffee afterwards,when seated in the lounge with a wine/beer/soda/water before we went into the dining room. Sounds NORMAL??? NOT REALLY...
NO table settings was present.
Each person had to choose which utensil they wanted for each dish...and each dish they wanted to eat first, end end with...All this BEFORE you started ...so you could NOT change your order in the middle of the dinner.
For instance..EVERYTHING was named something different.
A Knife was skoonma se tong
A Pudding Spoon was named big grave digger
A Teaspoon was named heuning bytjie.
A Fork was named duiwels gereedskap.
Food was named.. Peas where Padda oe Meat where a choice between chicken and leg of lamb.. chicken-chasing flies, leg of lamb- gathering the wolves. One of the puddings was Chocolate mousse and it was named gathering clouds. The baked pudding was warm and hot.... so you never got the gist of what you are going to order or receive.
Thus all the food was also named different names and if you chose coffee instead of the starter...You got the coffee first also if you chosen the pudding first that is what you started out with...if you asked for a fork with your pudding that is what you will be eating with..if you asked for the knife with your coffee...well that is what you were served with...
We all had fun...and YES there was a few ladies that got really upset and verbalized their displeasure...but they were far in the minority...and they had to drink a shot of Tequila everytime they moaned.
So...guys tell us about some of your special dinner parties.
I also hosted...some oil wrestling parties...some massage parties.....DragQueens to perform for my lovey at our house....just to name a few.....
Share some of your interresting fun times..
