How funny you should mention this....my mom did this for my birthday party when I was about 10 years old (I'm now 31) and I completely forgot about it until my mom reminded me last week. I now remember it and it was so fun.

In my case, what she did was gave all the foods a name of an animal. She had stuff like spaghetti, garlic bread, apple sauce, ice cream, etc. Even the utensils got names. She then had the kids pick out 2 animals for their first course, and whatever food was the animal they picked is what they got. Then they picked 2 more, and so on.....

Some people ended up having applesauce and a straw, funny stuff like that. It is fun....

Steph I remember you kids had a great time with that!
I told DianaL about it and thought it might be fun for Breannas birthday party last week.
I haven't heard if she did it or not.
Never thought of doing it for adults. That would be really fun!!

I remember someone posting about it around a year ago. I'll have to look up my files and see if I saved it. It sounded great.
