A Very Steampunk Thanksgiving

November 25, 2009 by suzannelazear

I was thinking about what a Steampunk Thanksgiving would look like. So I came up with the following menu. This is not what we’re having for Thanksgiving (I’ll be at my sister in law’s) but it sounds interesting, don’t you think? Think dinner by candlelight, great music, fun placemats, clock-part napkin rings…Could you imagine a steampunk cornucopia as the centerpiece? Anything you would add?

Menu
Ammonites in a Blanket
Baby squid with tentacles in a cream butter-lemon sauce (can substitute fillet of sea snake or braised brisket of blowfish)
Turkey a la Death Ray
Steamed fiddle-head fern tips
Coconut-marshmallow spiced sweet potatoes
Cranberry-Cardamom Chutney
Lemon Syllabub (served in beakers)
Miniature pumpkin pies (decorated with fondant cogs)
Trilobite Cookies
Tea
Brandy
The Von Slatt (both versions, served in test tubes, dry ice optional)

So what will you have for Thanksgiving dinner?

    Interesting is the word, that’s for sure! I want to find a recipe for Cranberry-Cardamom Chutney. It sounds heavenly! Diiner is at my sister’s house, so the only thing I can guarantee we’ll be having is Yams What Am, a recipe she found years ago in a magazine. Tons of sugar and butter, and a crunchy topping made with Special K. I’m gaining weight just thinking about it!

      Ari, I fixed the chutney link. If you make it let me know how it turns out. It’s from Sunset Magazine about 10 years ago. It might be the one you’re looking for.

    Okay-most of this sounds fairly disgusting, if intellectually intriguing-lol! But the cranberry-cardamom chutney I’d try! And the brandy, of course…:)

    Doesn’t it, tho? LOL. If anything, this was fun to plan…
    I think we need to come up with our own cocktails? The Steaming Lolita anyone?

    Ooh, I’d have the lemon syllabub. Yum! And the pumpkin pies and tea…not sure what the fern tips would be like, but I might try them!

      I like your attitude, Cara. An adventurous spirit is a must for any Steampunk endevor…
