How creative is this? I’ve always thought an Oscar Party would be a fun thing to host, and these Very different ideas for what to serve are just the ticket. (Pun intended!) I think I’d take one item from each – might be a strange combo for the buffet, but it would be delicious!
One item from each movie menu, perhaps dividing it by course. – Great idea!
