Here are some fabulous photos to inspire you from our customer Sandi Hobbs. Her menu ideas are so creative and imaginative!

REVIEW: "We had our murder last week – it went great – best program ever according to the kids (our camp staff). These pictures are of our food. I fixed gazpacho for the drink, bat wings (chicken wings with black food dye) and intestines (spaghetti with hunks of vegetables), besides what’s showing. The crock pot held tape worms – hot dogs cut lengthwise, boiled and dropped into a catsup/mustard mixture – they curl in the boiling water so look really gross." - Sandi Hobbs, BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA Crossroads of America Council, Indianapolis, IN

Whatever you plan for your dinner is fine especially if the theme of the mystery doesn’t conjure up any special sort of menu or food. To get into the spirit of the evening simply give everything your serving a “mysterious” name. For example:

Killer Kocktails

Mystery Meat

Killer Kebabs

Death by Chocolate

Lethal Leg o’ Lamb

Femme Fatale Fajitas

I Spy Mashed Potatoes

Unauthorized Autopsy (lasagna)

Detective’s Special (whatever) - A Detective's Special is a revolver
