I would recommend Cheese Goo - Digby's Savory Tosted Cheese. It is easy 
to make, it's not so strange as to scare folks off and it seems to go 
over well with folks new to period food. I did this for my work 
Christmas party this year and it went over well. I had printed off ten 
copies of the recipe and a link to the Florilegium so folks could find 
some more info and figured that this would be more than enough. Every 
single one, but the one that was labeling the dish, and had gotten 
cheese spilled on it, got picked up.

How much time do you have? Your best bet is likely to be to find 
someone locally to donate a bottle or two. I've not been overly 
impressed with the commercial meads I've bought locally but perhaps 
some of the ones available by mail order which may be limited by your 
particular state, might be better. Unless you've got six months to a 
year, you don't have time to brew some yourself.
