Meal Name: Memory Lane
Beverage Recipe: 🐠 Fish Bowl Float 🐠
🫧 First, we add Amethyst Ice Cream and Ruby Ice Cream for the colored rocks at the bottom of the glass. Then, we add a Scoop of Blueberry Ice Cream Cone. Using Blue Energy Drink as a base, we add various colors of Gummy Fish to swim in the "bowl"; Blueberry, Cherry, Lime, and Tangerine! Finally, we add a spritz of Purple Bubbles to make the fish float!
🫧 It is a sweet and tasty drink that brings a smile to your face.

Entree Recipe: 🍗 Ark Fried Chicken (AFC) Loaded Bowl 🍗
🔴 We start with hand tossed Golden Chicken Nuggets, coated in
beaten Egg, then tossed in Tiger Bread Loaf crumbs.
🔴Then, we take the Red Roast Chicken Meal and mash the potatoes into Red Bowl of Mashed Potatoes, as well as adding the fresh peas, chicken nuggets, and homemade gravy. In addition, Maze Maize is shucked & cooked to add on top.
🍗This fast food dish seems familiar. The 27 herbs and spices on the nuggets are a secret! 😉

Dessert Recipe:🍩 Cosmic Cake Bar 🍩
🍫 Starting simple but delicious with Brownies, made with Egg , Flour fresh from the Wheat Fields , and Chocolate Cake Bar as a base. Then, we melt a Milk Chocolate Spring Bar with some Orange Sky Gelatin to create the ganache to frost the bars with.
🍫 Melted sprinkles from the Fairy Bread create the candy coating for the chocolate chips from Chocolate Cherry Cookie, which are dipped in the fairy bread sprinkle coating and sprinkled on top of the Cosmic Cake Bars.
🍩 This dessert reminds you of simpler times. They are perfectly fudgy & sweet!

~ Thank you for this opportunity. I loved working with @pastelrabbit to make these adorable recipes! ~

Ooh I'm picturing this meal in my mind, and it looks so fun and inviting! The brownies with the Orange Sky Gelatin -- so perfect because orange and chocolate are SO GOOD together! And I love the AFC play on KFC (especially cool cuz A and K sound the same). I think the recipe for the drink may be my favorite. Superb work, Pastel and Viv! 😊

@chaotictreat

omg! just came up with the weirdest idea ever. what if we did a flippity-flop meal with a halloween theme? who says we can't have dessert for dinner??

for the main course i was thinking of a reverse dessert platter

this would consist of: spaghetti "cupcakes", steak cake (omg "stake"), and savoury doughnuts!!

spaghetti cupcakes:
spaghetti and eyeballs served in the baking cup of the candy corn cupcake, add some volcano sauce for that extra fiery kick!

stake:
savoury bread from the fish burger as a cake base, couldn't find bbq sauce so we can steal some from bbq sauce heart shaped pizza, give it a bed of french fries from the unhappy meal, layer on the grilled pepper chickentop it off with marinara sauce from spaghetti marinara

savoury doughnuts:
dough using flour from wheat fields, sugar from original sugar glass just to activate the yeast (idk where we'd get this from but no matter), warm water, some salt and some chopped cucumber and carrot for some extra colour, flavour and nutrition
mould them into doughnut circles and bake ^-^
afterwards we could "glaze" it with some melted monster cheese :]

we could serve our beverage in a cauldron OUO

dessert could be a pizza!

i'm thinking a pizza but with chocolate sauce and an assortment of candies as toppings.


haven't got the time to fully flesh this out but i hope this gives you some ideas! feel free to make any changes to the stuff i've done so far ^-^

chaotictreat • 20 May 2023 at 12:07 AM

@froot i am soso sorry ive been so busybusy

im struggling to understand what you mean with the whole theme and stuff, it seems like youve put a lot of thought into the stuff youve done but i just dont understand the idea behind it? also how come we have three mains and no entree, afaik we don't need any main just an entree, beverage, and dessert?

also im concerned that if we did savoury things for dessert and dessert for entree it might get us like. disqualified or smth X D

id love to use some of those ideas tho i just am trying to think of what exactly your idea is with the theme?

i was thinking smth like purple or fruit could be quite cool bc it'd like match us yk... purple fruit? idk lmao
(it would also be a lot easier to find ingredients that match : P )

daisycat • 20 May 2023 at 12:08 AM

@froot
Okay I LOVE your spaghetti cupcake idea because I made those like ten years ago!!! *o* I have to tell you and show you. x) I baked the spaghetti in a cupcake pan, but without papers, then added homemade sauce for "frosting", parmesan cheese for "sprinkles", and made veggie meatballs for "cherries". They are soo good and have made a few times since. A fun way to eat spaghetti every now and then!

Here's a photo I took of them: https://ibb.co/PQvY23Z 😊

Edit:
@chaotictreat
Lol that won't get you disqualified. ^^'

Again (to anyone reading), please feel free to ask if you have any concerns or questions, no need to assume or worry! 😊

chaotictreat • 20 May 2023 at 12:43 AM

@froot
OOH wait i see what you mean now. savoury foods for main but in "sweet food" shape/format/style? and vice versa for dessert? smort : O
only thing is im still not suuuper keen on the halloween theme, would it be ok if we just went with the flipperoo thing and kinda. ditched the 'ween? or we could change halloween to smth else that we both like, eg uh. purple idk. do you like purple? :")
i do really like the spaghetti cupcakes and savoury doughnuts, although i may suggest a few changes to the recipes if you gimme a min!
dessert pizzas are one of my fav things to make irl so im toootally on bored with that one, ill have a look for some items we can use
still no idea for beverage, thats why i thought maybe instead of getting rid of the extra ween theme altogether we could just change it to smth else? since the flip doesn't really help with the drink idea, i feel like we need smth else to base it on : D

@daisycat
lmao ty for clarify, also those look so yum i wanna make them now

froot • 20 May 2023 at 12:56 AM

@chaotictreat
yay i’m so glad you get it
honestly i don’t care much for the theme, that was just off the top of my head xD
those were rough ideas so you can just change and add whatever you see fit ^-^

also @/daisycat holy heck those look SO GOOD. drooling

matcha • 20 May 2023 at 2:18 AM

@frosting Awesome! I love your ideas! A match-a made in heaven is perfect!

Sorry I took so long to respond ^^'

For the somen: as you said, make the noodles out of the Wheat Stalks trinket and St. Patrick's Iced Matcha and then we could have a nutty dipping sauce using the unagi sauce from the Eel Roll and nuts from Bucket Of Nuts (I had walnuts in mind but it could be peanuts as well). We could add Salmon Sashimi as well but I don't think it needs it. What do you think?

Love the dessert!

Should the drink just be a matcha latte? We could use the Matcha Flower Tea and then we're using all three matcha items! Then the Bottle of Milk (Clowver Stage 1) for the milk. I'll leave it up to you if you think it should be sweetened or not (we could use something like Original Sugar Glass)

Also, should we come up with names for the entree, drink, and dessert? Luckily we already got a great meal name 😊

chaotictreat • 20 May 2023 at 3:01 AM

@froot
pizza!
base from cheese pizza
but instead of tomato sauce & cheese we have chocolate sauce from affogato
top it with candied pumpkin, lime gummy burgers - to look like spinach, pepper, or zucchini(?), some candy corn from the wall, and some white candy egg mushrooms. also maybe some thin slices of candied apple?
could also add some melted marshmallows on top like cheese??

spag cupcake changes:
plain spaghetti instead (no eyeballs pls i would cry). plainer baking cup from smth like this one or this classic. we could make our own icing (sauce) using tomatoes from the tomato sandwich and some of these funky-lookin oregano leaves
then top with some mini meatball decorations (made out of mince) and perhaps some grated monster cheese?

froot • 20 May 2023 at 4:09 AM

@chaotictreat

I LOVE IT!! it's really starting to shape up :ᴅ
when we finalise it i could try to sketch something for a clearer picture!


we've still got to think about the beverage... maybe we could serve it in something weird

chaotictreat • 20 May 2023 at 5:41 AM

@froot
milkshake milkshake !
use the milk from this and plenty of purple ice cream : D
then put it in ateapot to confuse people >: D
for extra authenticity, you can hang the teabag tag from this cup of tea over the side
so you think you're about to pour yourself a nice cup of tea and instead TADAA SPARKLY PURPLE MILKSHAKE
whatchu think? : 3

frosting • 20 May 2023 at 5:50 AM

@matcha no worries! i also took kind of long to reply last time lol
these ideas all sound great! yeah as you said i don't think the entree really needs the salmon. the walnut sauce thing though is something i would gladly eat irl xD

as for the drink, we could probably get away with not adding a sweetener? we could add black/honey lucky coffee instead though, lmk what you think!

names for the dishes would be pretty neat but im blanking on them rn, should we just make them bad puns to go with the meal name? like a whole latte love for the drink or something (idk 💀💀)?? other than that though i think this is coming along really nicely!!

nest • 20 May 2023 at 10:30 AM

froot • 20 May 2023 at 10:56 AM

@chaotictreat YES YES YES it's PERFECT!!! WOO

kataclysm • 20 May 2023 at 11:57 AM

@opalquinze
how does this look for our submission?? I figured we'd use the TFS appetiser you thought up, slap it with the ocean main and round off with a fairy world dessert! Maybe the overarching theme for the meal could be 'Travelling The Realms'?

If we don't catch one another to confer, I'll submit this later on in the day so we don't miss the deadline! If you want to amend anything and submit it before then, do feel free to do so without my permission! I trust your creative instinct and I don't want you to be kept waiting on me when timezones are working against us.

Starter:
Demon's Eye
- Half of a Deviled Egg, filled with White Monster Cheese and an artful application of sun-dried Tomato (Sandwich) Slices to fulfill the eyeball illusion. A single dark olive forms the pupil, and is accompanied by a salad of Celery with Peanut Butter.

Main:
Tame The Dragon
- Inspired by the Dragon Roll, the Shark Roll resembles its namesake from carefully crafted sushi. Served with Green Tea and an additional side salad, featuring Tiger Bread Loaf croutons.

Dessert:
Enchanted Cake Pops
- Daffodil Cake Pops, drizzled with Brown Sugar Cinnamon Flavored Syrup, topped with 'fairy skirts' of Cayni Cotton Candy.

opalquinze • 20 May 2023 at 1:30 PM

@kataclysm
this submission gets a yes from me! i love the overarching theme name you came up for our meal!

real sorry if on my end i couldn’t come up with much, so how bout you submit this later today? ‘fraid i can’t come up with anything else for the others

matcha • 20 May 2023 at 4:38 PM

@frosting I agree! This is coming along nicely 😊
Agreed no sweetener, maybe we can just use the whipped cream from the Lucky Coffee to top off the matcha?
Love the bad puns idea! Unfortunately I'm way worse at coming up with them as you are ^^' I'll keep trying and reply if I think of any!

Here's a rough draft of what we got so far:

A Match-a Made in Heaven

Drink - A Whole Latte Love (matcha latte)
Matcha Flower Tea
Milk from: Bottle of Milk
Whipped cream from: Lucky Coffee

Entree - Heavenly Noodles (matcha somen noodles)
Noodles made with:
-Wheat from: Wheat Stalks (Pumpkid Stage 4)
-Matcha tea from: St Patrick's Iced Matcha
Sauce made with:
-Unagi sauce from: Eel Roll
-Walnuts from: Bucket Of Nuts

Dessert - Smitten for Tea Cake (frosted matcha cake)
Cake from: White Winter New Year Cake
Frosting made with:
-Filling from: Depressing Matcha Pie
-White chocolate from: White Chocolate Smitten Smore

Hopefully one of us can think some names and I think we're good! (So sorry I haven't come up with a single name so far hehe... ^^' )

Should we remove the St Patrick's Iced Matcha from the noodles and replace with Heavenly Light?

Edit: Tried to come up with names for the entree and dessert, feel free to change!

kataclysm • 20 May 2023 at 4:50 PM

@dragrawr

Hey fwend, I've been looking at desserts for our last item and came up with this option:

Earthquake Cookies combined with Chocolate Cream Globe Cake and Asteroid Impact to make.. Asteroid Earthquake Cake! I didn't see anything directly jurassic themed, so I playeed with the idea of the last extinction XP I also emailed nest about the travel because it's not food themed.. and the bakery nor Finley's Flavors had any asteroid items. :/

nest • 20 May 2023 at 11:09 PM

Regarding Couch's post above, everyone is welcome to use non-food items. 😊

Also, if any Nestlings are looking for a food asteroid item, feel free to use Asteroid Gobstoppers!

levine • 21 May 2023 at 12:07 AM

@musicgurl333
hiyaaa
here's a draft of the beverage n dessert (the names r temporary so we can change them later haha)! im starting to brainstorm some egg related entrees for our cave themed entree 😋

Beverage: Leila Oasis blueberry lemonade

Blend chilled water (from mug of hot water) with blueberries from blueberry pie slice and lemon juice from fancy lemon tea. Add a two spoonfulls of honey (or however many you like ❤️ ) from honey snow ice cream cup, mix well and chill. Finally, add some grass leaves from grass sundae as garnish to mimic the cactii and plants surrounding the oasis! ( i feel like we can combine this with the fake desert oasis travel but im not sure how.... any ideas?)


Dessert: Mysterious Asteroid Lava Cake

A round chocolate lava cake, with a nut crumble crust from bucket of nuts, drizzled lightly with caramel from caramel drizzeled pumpkin seeds, dotted with orange icing from the fire antler biscuit. This “asteroid” will be placed on the grass-themed plate of the Lemon Spring Cake to best resemble the location of the real asteroid!

mastergemma • 21 May 2023 at 12:20 AM

@astralrebel
Lemonade Stand would be a better option with less wastage 😉

I'm also happy with Levitating Sponge With Cream and Cup of Coconut Coffee. With Lemonade Stand that should be all for the desert unless I'm missing something?

I feel that Red snow cone mountain, the leftover flowers, Berry Sorbet Strawbearry Ice Cream would make a fitting slushie-like drink to fit with our summery theme.

nest • 21 May 2023 at 12:27 AM

dragrawr • 21 May 2023 at 1:02 AM

@xxcouchxx stop thats literally hilarious!! I love it.

So far im thinking (for the entree) it could have extra crispy bacon, potatoes shaped like dinosaur eggs, and maybe two green dragon meat items (forming the legs of a dinosaur), with golden potato wedges (claws)? Olives for eyes?

frosting • 21 May 2023 at 8:39 AM
