What type of food would you associate with each of the 7 deadly sins?

Question

i am hosting a bachlorette party and the theme for the party is the seven deadly sins (lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride). i'm trying to come up with a menu and have one dish for every sin. what comes to your mind, or what dish do you think would best represent each sin. thank you for everyones input!

Answer 1

OK- I'll give it a crack

Lust- Chocolate covered strawberries

Gluttony- Chocolate cake

Greed- Pringles- betcha can't eat just one!

Sloth- Chocolate turtles

Wrath- red pepper slices

Envy-Almond roca?

Pride- ??(the only thing I can think of is hot dogs or Vienna sausages- don't want to sound bad but it's the only thing I could think of)

Answer 2

what a clever idea!  here goes:

Lust:  chocolate covered strawberries

Gluttony:  Hot fudge sundae on top of a brownie

Greed:  beluga caviar and champagne

Sloth:  Hamburger Helper

Wrath:  Noodles (hit someone on the head with a wet noodle?

Envy:  Frozen Grasshopper Pie (green) or Grasshopper drink

Pride:  all-American Apple Pie

Answer 3

These are just some ideas and a couple aren't good at all but hopefully it helps get you thinking too.

gluttony - a stuffed something... like a stuffed calzone, or stuffed peppers, pasta, cabbage etc.

greed - mini burgers and call them "silver dollar burgers" or something.

lust - chocolate covered strawberries

sloth - get a "lazy susan" and put "easy to eat" finger foods on it.

wrath - grapes?  (grapes of wrath... get it ;) )  Something rape flavored or something?



envy - kabobs... because I really like them and am envious when people eat them ;)  sorry... I don't have a good one but hopefully these spur some other ideas from you.

pride - a posh sounding dish... something that sounds fancy (maybe something with a french name) filet mignon?

Answer 4

Why not the opposite among the corresponding seven holy virtues (sometimes also referred to as the contrary virtues). In parallel order to the sins they oppose, the seven holy virtues are chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, patience, kindness, and humility.

That takes more cunning, intelligence and shows more class to come up with something positive. It's easy to be sinful and present "sinful food". It abounds!

But try:

chastity (yogurt), temperance (peach), charity (water), diligence (kiwi), patience (lamb/veal), kindness (jello), and humility (bean sprouts)
