Idea for a traditional holiday game. Lets pretend we can go to each other's house as a group and the house we're at has one type of special food item, i.e., or'dourves, desserts, entres, etc. (please scuse my spelling). The host/hostess at each house describes the dish they have made and we sample it. Then the host/hostess of the house we just visited goes with us on to the next house where we sample what that person has made. We do this until everyone who is participating has presented their dish. We must decide in advance who wants what. OK?

Ohhhh.... I take dibbs on the meat course! Oh, and while I don't know how many will join in I thought it wouldn't hurt to look up the series in a 10 course meal. 1st Course – Appetizers
2nd Course – Soup
3rd Course – Salad
4th Course – Pâté with pickles & fingers of toast
5th Course - Seafood
6th Course – Meat
7th Course - Dessert
8th Course - Assortment of Cheeses with pickles, onions and slices of cured spicy sausage.
9th Course – Fruit or Berries in sauce
10th Course - Sorbet
For the average person today the above menu would appear to be just too much food to consume at one sitting; however, in Victorian times a formal dinner was a full evening's entertainment. You would arrive shortly after 6pm and enjoy a glass of sherry with your host before being called to dinner at 7pm - and you would stay at the table until 10pm - with each course being separated from the next by polite conversation or story telling and bringing each other up to date on current affairs.
At 10pm the gentlemen would retire to the library for cognac and cigars and the ladies would withdraw to the drawing room; however I have never been able to find out exactly what they did there. PS. Wouldn't this count as a roleplay?

I'm making a list of who is doing what and will post it when it is complete so we can get started.

This doesn't seem to be getting very far. Anyone else besides us three?

I like this idea. I think it would work well if everyone participated.

Well... I was going to do the meat dish but if you really want it I can take the seafood course.
