For me, it’s an infamous icebreaker at dinner parties – What dead celebrity would you want to have over for dinner? My answer is usually a toss up between Bea Arthur and Lucille Ball.
Today, as we celebrate the Halloween edition of Foodie Friday, not only do I want to hear about your Halloween food and candy favourites (what is the name for those delicious cavity-causing Halloween caramels again?), but also find out who you’d want to resurrect for a meal at your house.
What dead celebrity would you want to have over for dinner? Why?
What would you cook?
What recipe do you want to be known for?
