STARTER DRINK
The Vampire Diaries Cocktail
Honoring FACTS Guest Ian Somerhalder (Vampire Diaries / Lost)
You start the night by drinking the blood of the innocent with this tasty cocktail. All you need is strawberry syrup, strawberries, pepper vodka, lime juice chili pepper and crushed ice. The result is a spicy and sweet drink that will surely get you through the rest of this ‘star meal’.
APPETIZER
zelena’s Onion Rings
Honoring FACTS Guest Rebecca Mader (Once Upon a Time / Lost)
Look, we know that if the Dark One offers you onion rings, that you’re probably better off not eating them. But these are soooo good. What you need is mild onions, flour, cream, pepper, salt, 3 eggs, parmesan cheese, lard and melted butter with mustard. And possibly a gynaecologist, just in case.
MAIN COURSE
Creamy cheese stuffed courgettes & sausagemeat
Honoring FACTS Guest Asa Butterfield (Sex Education / Ender’s Game / …) and ex-FACTS guest Gillian Anderson
Yes, we know that after watching Season 2 of Sex Education, courgettes will never taste the same again, but at least we can have some ‘fun’ with it. So get a firm grip and start spreading until that courgette is filled with creamy cheese and relax as you feel those new flavours erupting in your mouth. Culinary orgasm, anyone?
DESSERT
captain Jack’s Fruit Skewers
Honoring FACTS Guest Kaya Scodelario (Pirates of the Caribbean / The Maze Runner)
Avast, ye scallywags. These here fruit skewers be inspired by the beads on Captain Jack Sparrow’s head. If ye desire to feast upon these sticks, sail towards the nearest outpost t’ buy wooden skewers, golden raisins, blackberries, raspberries, green grapes, white chocolate-covered raisins and soft cookies. Ye can use ‘parley’ to discuss the possibility of putting other fruits and nibbles on your blade, but that’s just more of a guideline anyway. Hahahahaaargh.
ONE FOR THE ROAD
Joel’s energy bars
Honoring FACTS Guest Troy Baker (The Last of Us / The Joker / BioShock /…)
The world can be a scary place, at least that’s what the post-apocalyptic world of Joel and Ellie in The Last of Us tries to tell you. That’s why you should always be prepared when you hit the road again. These energy bars are easy to make and will keep your health up. Ingredients? Quick 1-minute oats, almond butter or peanut butter, coconut oil, honey, almonds, and optional mix-ins like dried cranberries, chocolate chips, sliced dried apricots, coconut flakes, etc. Not hungry anymore? That’s OK, it’s not the end of the world. Or is it?
