[Sca-cooks] Question about illusion food, menus, ingredient lists and surprises...

[Irmgart]

So, I am planning a feast for the middle of June, and was thinking about
doing a few "surprises" or illusion foods.

Basically, I'm planning a "bait and switch."

This is what I want to do:
"pears in wine sauce"= meatballs shaped like pears served in galentyne (or
other red wine colored sauce)
"hedgehogges"=marzipan hedgehogges

"Walnuts" that are some sort of upsidedown tart baked in walnut shaped tart
pans.

So, I pride myself on people having *plenty* of notice about what's in
things before feast so they can decide whether or not to eat them.

How do I do this so I don't give the surprise away to the general
population?

Or do I just say what things are, and then have them show up oddly when
served?

Help!
