PeterPan Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) Dd wants to do a marathon of musicals before she goes back to college, and I thought it would be fun to pair foods with them. Any suggestions? Here's her list: Happiest Millionaire My Fair Lady Fiddler On the Roof Singing in the Rain On the Town Mary Poppins Gigi Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory Aladdin Little Mermaid Wizard of Oz Sound of Music Phantom of the Opera Seven Brides for Seven Brothers Dumbo Frozen Tangled Pete’s Dragon Enchanted The King and I Beauty and the Beast Summer Magic Cinderella (original animated) ** She put this but I think she means the Rogers & Hammerstein version So for instance, for Happiest Millionaire, obviously we would eat chocolate cake, since the main character is on a chocolate cake diet, hehe. For Phantom of the Opera, maybe something french? What would be easy french? Not all desserts either. I actually need some meats or sides or meals for this to turn into. Something typical Jewish or Ukranian for Fiddler maybe... My Fair Lady is British, right? Maybe fish? Ooo, would curry work for that? So it could stem from the country or food that is in the movie or almost anything... Go! PS. I can't believe she didn't put Flower Drum Song on there. That would be an excuse to eat Chinese, hehe. Anything else seriously vital she missed? LOL Ok, now I'm realizing South Pacific, Oklahoma... Food for South Pacific, that could get interesting...

On the Town Mary Poppins Gigi - French onion soup, souffle if you are up for a challenge 10 minutes ago, PeterPan said: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - make a picnic basket... Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory Aladdin - make appetizers, hummus, baba ganoosh, make your own flat bread, search easy recipes, some kebabs and rice? Little Mermaid - um, seafood of course! Wizard of Oz - fantasy food maybe? Sound of Music - Goulash and strudel Phantom of the Opera - French.... hmm.... maybe baguettes, cheeses Seven Brides for Seven Brothers -oregon in the 1850s, so maybe country type food, or maybe salmon? Dumbo - circus themed food? Hot dogs, popcorn Frozen - Germany.... so many possibilities.......I vote for black forest cake.... Tangled Norway.....smorbrod....google it, open face sandwiches Pete’s Dragon.

alisoncooks Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Enchanted: they eat a hot dog ;) in the movie. Plus there is a pizza parlor scene, as well as the poisoned caramel apple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KungFuPanda Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) I went to a beauty and the beast dinner theatre. One of the deserts was “grey stuff.” It was a cookies and cream mouse. For Gigi you need goose. ? Willy Wonka - veggie soup with cabbage. Little Mermaid - fish sticks ???? wizard of oz - emerald city meal - just color everything green Edited August 8, 2018 by KungFuPanda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomato soup, roast beef, and blueberry pie for Willy Wonka? Frozen TV dinners for Frozen? Wiener Schnitzel for Sound of Music? Snacky circus food for Dumbo? Wanted to bring over this reply too from the other board, because it was too fun!! Edited August 8, 2018 by PeterPan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy Wonka - veggie soup with cabbage. Little Mermaid - fish sticks ???? wizard of oz - emerald city meal - just color everything green Ok, now you're getting radical with the green food for wizard of oz, brilliant! Yup, I actually have pheasant in the freezer we could use with Gigi. Remember the scene where they eat those stupid autolon (however you spell them, little birds). This is way fun. Y'all are great! I think for Singin in the Rain maybe breakfast foods, because they have that good morning scene. But maybe they never get around to eating it? I've forgotten, lol. On the Town is set in NYC. They do everything they can in 24 hours. But what would really be NY??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could serve Cornish game hens and just say it’s those difficult little birds. You’ll also NEED champagne for Gigi; even if it’s just fizzy juice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Wizard of Oz -- corn on the cob (Scarecrow is found in a cornfield) Charlie and the Chocolate Factory -- um, is chocolate a meal?

I know, I've been chuckling over the horror of that for an hour now, whether it's ok to eat Flounder. LOL And yes, now that I've seen Nemo the musical at Disney World, it's one of my favs! Maybe we should put that on the list. I wanted to surprise her and add some things she hasn't seen, just to keep it fresh. 28 minutes ago, Junie said: Wizard of Oz -- corn on the cob (Scarecrow is found in a cornfield) Charlie and the Chocolate Factory -- um, is chocolate a meal? Frozen -- sandwiches, so you can finish each other's Dumbo -- peanuts or circus peanuts Oh that is too funny about finishing the sandwiches!! Yes, chocolate should be a meal. We could do fondue or something, lol. I'm going through the list of movies and then writing out the ideas. Then we can reorganize them as snacks, meals, desserts. 19 minutes ago, HomeAgain said: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - you have to have Whistle Pops!

I think we might have that in town. I've never eaten it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty easy once you get the flavors down (chilis, lemongrass, coconut milk are used often) and there are simple recipes online. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
