Oscars party menu ideas include Marty Crunchwrap Supreme and Bugonion
NPR published a set of humorous menu suggestions for a 2026 Oscars party, designed to match the year’s best picture nominees, which include science fiction, horror, sports, and thriller genres. The article proposes dishes such as Bugonion, which is deep-fried shrimp served with an air of mystery, and F1, which involves a wireless computer keyboard and a Costco cake shaped like a racing car. Other ideas include Franks, in Stein (boiled hot dogs in a ceramic mug), Iberico Hamnet (ham brined in tears over a dead child), and Marty Crunchwrap Supreme (a sliced Crunchwrap Supreme served annoyingly). The menu also features One Batter After Another (raw cake batter on mixer beaters), The Secret Agent (a hidden leg of lamb), Sentimental Value Meal (old love letters and personal mementos), Dinners (two fried fish sandwiches, one with ketchup), and Grain Creams (oatmeal with ghost song lyrics). The article is presented as a single-source, opinionated guide for hosts.
