Frankenstein Friday is the last Friday of October:
Do you need a few ideas for a Frankenstein Friday meal?
Many Holidays are are associated with the color green. Frankenstein, Witches and Goblins are all associated with the color green. Holidays like Frankenstein Friday will always have green food in honor of the day. We will give you a few ideas for green food.
Soups, Stews and Chili
- Goblin Stew: all you need is foods that are green in color to make the stew green. For example: string beans, green beans, peas, broccoli, zucchini, turnip greens, collards, green onions etc. Cubed chicken is the preferred meat because it is easily turned green with a few drops of green food coloring. Potatoes are also required in the stew and will also absorb the green color.
- Lizard Stew
popular green stew. It's the very same idea as the Goblin Stew except you need to make sure you add long strips of chicken in the stew so it looks like cooked lizards.
- Green Chili Stew
