Party Time: Na’vi Blue and Pandora-Themed Food for an AVATAR Party

The best food for your AVATAR party is blue. The food of the AVATAR Pandora Na’vi is not widely available so you will have to settle for some fun substitutes. Here are some tips on choosing a wide variety of Na’vi-themed food choices when hosting your next party.

When planning your AVATAR party there are only a few things you really need; the AVATAR DVD, a system to play it on, guests and food. The best food for your AVATAR party includes several possibilities. Since the food of the AVATAR Pandora Na’vi is not widely available you can pick and choose among these ideas for a smashingly successful gathering.

Start with a signature blue drink:

· You can use blue Kool-Aid ice cubes in clear lemon lime pop, or make blue lemonade by adding 1 pint of pureed blueberries to a pitcher of lemonade.

· Use blue Curacao to turn adult drinks blue. Try blue martinis, blue hurricanes, or blue margaritas. Make Blue Lagoons with a shot of vodka, a shot of blue Curacao, and then top off the glass with lemonade

· Blue Moon beer can complete the theme. While it is not blue, the bottle is and will look perfect amongst the food options for your AVATAR party. Finding and setting out wine that is available in blue bottles also works well with the theme.

Have blue ring pops, or blue raspberry lollipops set out near the TV.

· This will turn everyone’s mouth blue and make for interesting photo opportunities. Create trays of blue Jello jigglers for the kids and blue Jello shots for adults!

Serve bowls of blue corn chips with black bean dip.

· Blue potato chips can be found at natural food stores along with large bunches of Concord grapes. Place these around the food table and platters as a decorative snack. You can even turn your French onion dip for the potato chips blue with a drop of food coloring if you desire.

Try something with blue cheese for the main course.

Since the food of the AVATAR Pandora Na’vi was gathered through hunting, and every unusual creature tends to be described as tasting like chicken, consider serving chicken wings with blue cheese and ranch dressing. Serving a variety of wings can keep most large crowds happy: Hot, mild and BBQ wings are easy to prepare or purchase ahead of time. Chicken drum sticks can be fried and then coated with vinegar, melted butter and hot sauce. Set out with the wings for a different taste. Be sure to add plenty of traditional crisp celery sticks to cut the heat.

Serve simple blue desserts.

· Set out blue candy in bowls, or make blueberry tarts with purchased frozen tart shells. Fill with crème fraise and berries.

· Another great option is to use a chocolate fountain. Set out bowls of fruit, including blueberries on toothpicks. If you really want to stay with the blue food theme, use white chocolate that has a touch of blue food coloring added.

An all blue menu gives a visual punch that can add to the AVATAR party atmosphere. It is certainly possible to turn nearly any food blue with food coloring; the key to keeping it palatable is restraint. It's one thing to set out blue candy that will make your guests tongues turn blue, quite another to serve blue mashed potatoes with fish that has been dyed blue.
