Halloween - the real deal

Party Food 
for Hungry Spooks

It is the end of the harvest and transition from light into the dark months of winter, when bonfires were lit to ward off the evil spirits of All Hallows Eve before the eighth century papal edict of All Saints Day.

Now, trick-or-treat,
cruel lanterns glare, 
with ghoulish grub 
for spooks to share.

Guacamole-ick

Rude food is fun food. For this chunky dip, chop then smash a ripe tomato and 3 or 4 ripe avocados - the riper the better.

Now mix in 1 finely diced red onion, 2 tsp of Stokes Chilli Jam, 4 tbsp of our Garlic Mayonnaise, the juice of 1 lime and plenty of chopped coriander.

Eye to Eye

Devilled Eggs with a Halloween twist to keep a close eye on proceedings.

Hard boil and halve your eggs before scooping the yolks into a bowl. Mash the yolk with a fork adding Stokes Real Mayonnaise until you have a smooth, creamy consistency.

Spoon the yolk back into the whites, drizzle with Stokes Sweet Chilli Sauce (creating bloodshot eyes) and top with dilated olive pupils.

These are bound to see you through the evening (sorry).

Jolly Dips

You can see where we're going here, with jolly pepper heads carrying all manner of dippable vegetables.

For the dips: Put a few spoonfuls of Stokes Real Mayonnaise in a bowl and - just add:

• Add our Cranberry Sauce to enhance the sweetness of red peppers.
• Add Tomato Ketchup and Chilli Jam to bite back at a crunchy carrot.
• Add Creamed Horseradish bringing velvety warmth to your crudités dips.
• Add Coronation Sauce, crème fraîche and chopped tarragon for pure 'wow'.
• Add Cider & Horseradish Mustard to drive your courgette wild.
• Add finely diced crisp cooked smoked bacon and chives for delicious 'baconaise'.

Finger Dogs 

& Sausage Mummies

The shrill cries from the kitchen are not for the severance of fingers but the horror of hot dog sausages in buns spread with Stokes Classic English Mustard, flaked almond finger nails and a good squirt of our Squeezable Tomato Ketchup for their blood red finish.

Or the magical mummies rolled in one of our Marvellous Mustards, wrapped in pastry bandages with peppercorn or mustard seed eyes, painted with a beaten egg and baked until golden brown.
