Affordable Halloween Recipes - Scary Food Ideas Using Tuna

Creepy food is always part of a Halloween feast and no matter how simple they come, they add color to the occasion. You may be preparing for a Halloween festivity or a simple get-together fun; a little creativity can turn even your most standard meals into creepy Halloween treats. Here are some ways to transform something ordinary to something extraordinary, using tuna.

Tuna Brain Salad

Cookware Sets

Make two cups of tuna and mayo mixture the way you usually do it, but add more mayo or cream to make it appear creamy. Set aside. Prepare a cup of "clear or colorless" gelatin according to the package instructions then stir the cooked gelatin on the tuna and mayo mixture. Pour mixture into a brain mold. You can buy one at bakery items or seasonal stores. Chill for 1 hour.

Unmold by turning the mold upside down then gently pop out the brain onto a platter with a bed of lettuce. You can use your hidden sculpting skills to make the tuna even look like a brain.

Tuna Witch Fingers

Slice tuna fillets to form finger-shaped pieces. Fry on your usual way. Paint the pointed end or "nail portion" by using some red food coloring and brush on with a small kitchen brush. If you have a red decorator gel, squeeze gel onto the tip of the tuna slices to form nails.

Halloween Tuna Eyeballs

Combine ground tuna, flour, cheese, some butter, pepper and salt. When the tuna mixture is enough to hold together, shape into eyeball-sized balls. Flatten each ball just a little and press pimiento-stuffed green olive in the center. Arrange in a way the "eye" (pimento) is facing outward. Mold tuna meat around the olive, and bake for 10 minutes.

Tuna Monstrous Sandwiches

In this recipe, use white tuna fish that is packed in water. Cut tuna into small pieces then mix with celery, mayonnaise, lemon juice and seasonings. Cut the bread slices in the shape of ghosts. Spread tuna mixture onto the bread to form sandwiches. Use raisins to make the eyes and mouth.

Celebrating Halloween doesn't really need to be expensive. Creepy, maybe, but these Halloween recipes are only designed to put smiles and fun around. I hope the Halloween tuna ideas will help to get you started in creating memorable Halloween traditions. You may find it inflexible to mingle tuna with your other usual Halloween dishes, but the whole sense of chaotic flavors running on your palate could add up to the whole "scary" scheme. After all its Halloween night.

Happy Halloween!
