End of Season Party

I thought it would be enjoyable to have a social to wrap up the Battle of the Books season that would include some of the foods important in the books we read this year.  I steered clear of tripe and deep fried silkworms!  Maybe you will come up with other ideas, but this what was what I came up with:

-Kit-kat chocolate bars (The soldier shares this with the Tien Pao in House of 60 Fathers)

-Pieces of sugarless gum (Tien Pao boy swallows this in House of 60 Fathers)

- Boxes of Sunmaid Raisins (One of the odd foods at Thanksgiving Dinner in Maniac Magee)

- Pizza (Maniac wins this by untangling Cobble's knot but cannot enjoy the prize because of his allergy in Maniac Magee)

- A small bag of corn snacks/corn chips (corn is a favourite food for the mice in Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH)

- A bunch of ripe bananas (Ivan's favourite food in The One and Only Ivan, but we will not eat the peels as he did)

- A package of Peak Freans "Family digestive" biscuits (they have chocolate on one side and were eaten by Grandpa and Matt at the protest in Shadow)

-Apples (Aman's mother took the blame for stealing an apple in Shadow)

-Single serve applesauce  (this is the first food given to Albert in Lily's Crossing)

-Bottle or carton of iced tea ("tea" was enjoyed at Miss Hazzlit's house in Dancing Through the Snow)

- Small bag of roasted Sunflower seeds, not in the shell.  (Ling and Chu Ju enjoyed this snack as they chatted in the evenings in Chu Ju's House)

- A small sample of candied ginger/crystallized ginger slices—sold at bulk barn (This was Han Na's favourite treat in Chu Ju's House). These are a bit overpowering to the palate, though!
