11 reported
A single-source article from NPR offers menu suggestions for a 2026 Oscars party, designed to match the year's best picture nominees, which include science fiction, horror, sports, and thriller films. The article proposes dishes such as "Bugonion," which is deep-fried shrimp served with an air of mystery, and "Marty Crunchwrap Supreme," a sliced Crunchwrap Supreme served to guests. Other ideas include "Franks, in Stein" (boiled hot dogs in a beer mug), "Iberico Hamnet" (ham brined in tears over a dead child), and "One Batter After Another" (raw cake batter on mixer beaters). The article also suggests "The Secret Agent," a leg of lamb hidden and then hopped around the party, and "Sentimental Value Meal," which bundles old love letters and a pet's chew toy. The source notes that these suggestions are meant to be playful and unconventional, with some dishes intended to confuse or annoy guests.
