This is meant to be fun, not scary... I'd give them things that look
and/or SOUND scary but actually taste good and are generally
considered edible. Otherwise you might end up having to spend the
night cleaning up puke and that wouldn't be much fun for anyone!

Green slime - pudding with food colouring.
Fried chickens feet - (looks gross but they actually taste pretty
darned good, unlike pigs feet!)
'Worms' - gummy worms (of course)
If you really want to get exotic, how about some of those
chocolate-covered ants or crickets?

I hated Brussels sprouts as a kid - now I love 'em. Actually had some
with dinner last night. Frozen ones though, which are not quite as good
as fresh - but the fresh ones should be appearing in our markets any
day now, right season for them in this part of the world.

I'm that way with raw tomatoes! Hated 'em as a kid (and young adult
too!), but now I have 4 tomato plants and can't wait to pick fresh
tomatoes off the vine! YUM!

But Brussell Sprouts: you can have ALL of mine! YUCK!

I've eaten fried grasshoppers. They aren't bad. Not sure where you'd
buy that kind of stuff anymore. Back in the day, you could get
rattlesnake meat in a can. I think that's the way grasshoppers came
too.

Front or back lawn? Little beasties are nimble but I got enough for a
taste one summer day. Rather bland I though.

I remember them as pretty good, crunchy and salty. The taste (as I

But it's Fear Factor. Bring out the balut in the final round.

Are you offering to come for the clean up?

A gym full of kids wretching shouldn't be ANYONE'S idea of fun.

I like them now, too. When we lived on the east coast we
grew them in the
garden and discovered they were much sweeter harvested after
a frost.

We have tried growing them twice in Colorado and both times
they were
literally coated in aphids right down to the core and
impossible to clean
enough for eating. :-(

It is amazing what a little lemon juice (with or without
butter) or vinegar
will do for the flavor of cruciferous vegetables. It helps
to mask the
sufurous component in the flavor.

Not even close. In the Netherlands they eat rotten fish on a stick. In
Iceland, the delicacy is rotten shark meat. Lutefisk is just soaked in
lye. No bacteria need apply.

I agree- especially since it's an all nighter! I think balut will be a
no-show!!

Look up a Halloween issue of some cooking mag like Taste of Home. Somehow I
doubt you just want to gross out (and maybe make ill) the kids. In today's
litigous society, it may not be such a good idea. I would think that the
idea is to make the kids THINK they are eating something nasty, when YOU
know it's not. Were talking about 10 year olds, right?

There's nothing wrong with letting them watch while

I want to gross them out a little, but don't want them to puke. I'm
going to make a list of all the great ideas I've seen and narrow it
down. I'm wondering if prizes are involved...

Worms in Blood: Cut ordinary hot dogs into 8 to 12 strips, boil, drain,
and cover with ketchup. The strips curl up as they cook and end up
looking somewhat like worms. Common ingredients, but visually disgusting.

Nuclear Waste: Combine something yellow, such as Mountain Dew, with
something blue. Koolaid used to make a blue drink mix called
"Berrylicious", or something like that. The result should be a
fluorescent green. Shine a light through it from the back. Add a cake of
dry ice for a fog effect.

So long as they don't poop. I'll be fine :-)

I was always the vomit catcher/cleaner when my kids (and others) were
growing up. It never bothered me. But the poop used to have me doubled
over dry retching!! :-)

In Sweden they eat surstromming, canned herring that has
fermented in the
can so the can bulges like a football. I've luckily never
been around when it
was served and most of the wives of my acquaintance won't
let it be opened
anywhere near the house, the scent is so horrible.

It's also illegal to carry on a can of it onto a plane in
the event the can ruptures.

Whole sardines (so they can see the face!)
Any liver
Peeled grapes, warm
Chicken feet
Chicken hearts (they look like hearts!)
And my favourite: Tootsie rolls, softened and rolled into turd shape, rolled
in chopped nuts, placed in a kitty litter box (clean!) layered with more
chopped nuts.

Sounds like your son goes to a very fun school!

Kinda over the top for them to have an all nighter, but what the
heck...their last hurrah in elementary school!

Blodpudding. It looks like chocolate, but it's really congealed pig's
blood. (I found this out by accident when I was 12 years old after
seeing it in a fridge and taking a bite. BIG MISTAKE!)

If you just want a nice sushi for first time making, do the plain
cucumber. It tastes good and you don't have to fuss. Have you found
sushilinks.com? http://www.sushilinks.com/recipes.html

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

I've made pizza with my GS since he was 2 YO. If a 2 YO can help with
pizza (rolling too), they can help with sushi.

I don't make sushi at home because it's one of those "I want to eat it
in a restaurant" type meals for me. I like eating out and sushi, like
seafood, is something I rarely make at home so I look forward to it.
I used to love ordering chicken piccata (before hubby's heart scare),
but now I make it often enough that I won't order it in a restaurant
anymore.
