Am I the only one at the party? Oh well.
I'm thinking I would like to come as Lady Sybil, with a stuffed dragon on my shoulder. I would bring jalepeno peppers, filled with cream cheese, wrapped with bacon and roasted with fire. That would be the easiest costume.
A second choice, if I could figure out how, would be the zombie guard. He would bring an appetizer tray of toes with jam (parmesan cheese balls shaped like toes, almond for a toenail and jalepeno jelly), lady's fingers (anise cookies shaped like fingers, dipped in red frosting) and earwax with fingernail crackers ( a cheddar cheese ball).

This is a very nice but not so easy question, LeeLee. It needs thinking over. I might go for Nanny Ogg, I'm old and chubby enough and I'd like to have as much fun as she always has at parties. As for costume: good strong comfy boots, I'd have to think about the dress. Nothing flashy but not too drab, comfy but feminine...As for food: Bananana Soup Surprise and Carrot and Oyster Pie ("Carrots so's you can see in the dark, and oysters so's you've got something to look at")

LOL! Love the dish you are bringing. What pray tell is Banana Soup Surprise? You have the Nanny Og cookbook don't you? I've got to get my hands on one of those.
I'm thinking for drinks, we have a huge range, but we mustn't forget milk for Carrot.

LeeLee, it's BananaNA Soup! Here is the recipe. I quote friom Nanny's Cookbook:
"4 large banananas peeled
470 ml vegetable stock
155 ml dry sherry
1 heaped teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 heaped teaspoon brown sugar
2 heaped teaspoons chopped chervil
pinch of salt and pepper
1 teaspoon of lemon juice
Chop two of the banananas and put into a pan with the stock. Blend or mash until the banananas are smooth and well, er, blended. Slowly bring the liquid to simmering point, taking care not to let it boil, and add the remaining ingredients. Stir gently for 2-3 minutes to ensure that all the sugar has dissolved and leave to simmer for a further 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Take the remaining two banananas and chop them in half widthways. Place each half in a bowl, pointing upwards. Pour in some soup and serve.
Surprisin', eh?"
I'm sorry but I have not tried any of the recipes yet... and that while it says on the back cover that most of the recipes have been tried out on people who are still alive. Some of them look quite good, even the Sheep's Eyes (pickled onion stuffed with cream cheese and a filled olive - looks just like the real thing in the book!)

Oh! I have to try Sheep's eyes! I can add them to my son's cookbook of recipes for the strong stomach.
Banana soup.....you try it first. :)

Sheep's eyes sound pretty tasty actually!
As for the costume I would feel like I was taking the easy out if I said Death. So maybe Rincewind would be fun.

Yes, too easy for me too, to say Granny Weatherwax, so I think I'll come as Adora Belle Dearheart (but only if I don't have to smoke!). I can only hope that Moist von Lipwig will show up too :-)

Loweyes - You could buy those candy cigarettes. :)

That's right! Chewing gum or liqurice (spelling!)! The right look for Adora, but without the bad breath - yeah!

I would have gone as Nanny Ogg because of my hair and shape, but since that is taken I would go as the fourth witch Agnes Nitt (who has a thin person buried deap inside her who goes by the name Perdita), that took over for Magrat as the third witch when Magrat married the King. She is fat and has an incredible voice. She would bring a salade and tea.

I'm afraid Adore Belle Dearheart wouldn't bring anything other that an attitude... So unlike me - I would bring dessert. How do you all feel about chocolate mousse? Maybe I should be Magrat in stead - a little geeky, flowery and absentminded. I would come in a flowing dress, messy hair and a flower behind my ear (and bring chocolate mousse).

last year my ex and i went to a party, i was dressed as a pretty common fairy princess thing, gothic frock, cloack tiara etc. However my other half went as a Nac Mac Feegle - I do NOT recommend it unless the weathers warm!
Unfortunately we were going to a children in need bash, in the middle of november and all he had on was the kilt and a pair of sandals. It took me 45 mins to paint him blue from head to toe... because half of them hadn't read pratchett and the rest hadn't encountered the feegles yet what do you think they thought he was meant to be? .....
Braveheart.

I would have loved to come as nanny ogg, but i'm much too thin and not half as naughty. failing that, i think i'l come as susan, n wear something black, stylish and non-fussy with a frown and a no-nonsense attitude.
to eat...umm.....bread pudding? very governessy.
