LAST NIGHT, WE were at our favorite place, Mesón Salvador, for their second annual Halloween dinner (click here for last year). We, and our friend Elena, even went in costume this time. But we wore masks instead of makeup because: 1) We couldn't figure out what makeup to buy; 2) We had no idea how to apply makeup and; 3) We had no idea how to remove it.
The menu was excellent, clever, and extremely creepy. All the usual zombies and ghouls were in attendance. I'll introduce some of them tomorrow. Following that, I'll share photos of us in costume (as well as San Geraldo in his underwear).
Today, it's all about the zombie food.

| LA PRIMERA POCÍMA MAGICA. (CON GOMINOLA CONGELADO.) OUR FIRST MAGIC POTION. (WITH FROZEN GUMMY CANDY.) |
ANOCHE, ESTUVIMOS EN nuestro lugar favorito, Mesón Salvador, para su segunda cena anual de Halloween (haz clic aquí para ver el año pasado). Incluso nos, y nuestra amiga Elena, fuimos disfrazados esta vez.. Pero usamos máscaras en lugar de maquillaje porque: 1) No pudimos averiguar qué comprar.; 2) No teníamos ni idea de cómo aplicar maquillaje y; 3) No teníamos idea de cómo eliminarlo.
El menú era excelente, ingenioso, y extremadamente espeluznante. Todos los zombies habituales y demonios necrófagos estuvieron presentes. Les presentaré algunos de ellos mañana. Después de eso, compartiré fotos de nosotros con el vestuario (así como San Geraldo en su ropa interior).
Hoy todo se trata de la comida zombi.

Ron,
DeleteSo, problem number 3 resolved. That just leaves 1 and 2.
Wow! That food looks delicious! If gory.
ReplyDeleteLiz,
DeleteThe food was amazing. And gory!
They went all out with the gory food art. Very clever and oddly fascinating. Looking forward to the next posts.
ReplyDeleteWilma,
DeleteAnd they clearly all had such a good time, while working their butts off with a full house.
Wow, that food is almost TOO gory!
ReplyDeleteDebra,
DeleteYep. And Elena reached her limit with the after dinner drink.
They are so bloody creative, hopefully it tasted better than the creepy way it looked. Those thorax in process of putrification looked pretty tasty :)
ReplyDeleteCheapchick,
DeleteWverything was delicious. They make the best ribs... if you like ribs; Jerry and Elena shared mine!
So much fish! The horror! Ooooh, brownie! Bring on the underwear pix!
ReplyDeleteI love bacalao. This was especially good. As for the underwear, I almost added your name to the post since I know it will make you happy. Stay tuned tomorrow.
DeleteAw, ever thoughtful! Here, have a few more massive hugs!
DeleteDeedles,
DeleteAw, thanks. I needed them! Sending some back to you.

Parsnip,
DeleteI never enjoyed Halloween until I went to Meson Salvador last year. They are so clever AND they have so much fun.
This looks amazing. If a little creepy. :)
ReplyDeleteSnoskred,
DeleteIf I had thought at all during the meal, I wouldn’t have been able to eat any of it!
"Thorax in process of putrefaction." Priceless.
ReplyDeleteWalt the Fourth,
DeleteI thought that was especially clever. And I loved the brownie coffin.
