This is a really odd question...
I'm having a Stephen Sondheim-themed Halloween party on Saturday, and I want to do a Sondheim buffet.
So, i've already came up with a couple of ideas, but I was wondering if you guys could come up with food that is mentioned or eaten in Sondhdeim shows?
Thanks!

I should have said apart from the obvious...
I so far have:
Pies
A loaf of bread with butter
4 sticky buns
And I could have sworn I had more, but I can't remember...

--French pastries ("Sunday . . . George")
--A bottle of vodka and a straw at the bar ("Merrily")
--Hot orange juice ("Company")
--Birthday cake with "Happy 35th Birthday, Bobby!" written on it ("Company")
--Also from "Company," a lot of food was mentioned in Harry and Sarah's first scene in which he mocks her for all the food she can't eat (manicotti, Sara Lee cakes, sweet and sour shrimp, warm sourdough bread with all the butter there is, chili, etc.)
--Burbon (Again, "Company")
--Miracle water ("Anyone Can Whistle")
--Puerto Rican cuisine, if you know how to cook it ("WSS")
--Italian breads, cheeses, grapes, and anything else that could be passed off as Ancient Roman food ("Forum")
--Frog legs ("The Frogs")
--Wine (Take your pick, but Mme Armfeldt makes a big deal of presenting a dessert wine in "ALMN.")
I'll try to come up with more later. For now, it's back to work!

Not really a food (or that practical), but you could hang a Seraut-like painting above the table ("they hung it over the refreshment stand").
I wish my friends had Sondheim halloween parties! That sounds really fun.
