Party Recipes: Food

Main dishes, or entrees, are the staple food for any party. This is, quite literally, the meat and potatos of your Doomsday celebration. You can, of course, throw your party with just drinks and hors d'oeurves, but your guests will surely appreciate having had a full and hearty meal before the hell-fire starts falling and the zombies start walking. If you'd like to pass along your own recipes to us, please let us know! We'd be happy to post them here.
