Help me put a Halloween spin on tomorrow's roast gammon?

[lucysmam]

Dd2's decided she doesn't want to trick-or-treat tomorrow, so we're doing a sweetie scavenger hunt at home instead. That's sorted. & there's a ghost walk in town we might go to.

I hadn't thought about Halloween-ing tea though before we do that. Any ideas to put a halloween spin on roast gammon, roast spuds & veg? I've got some Halloween napkins and glasses to set the "scene" a bit.

Cranberry sauce as blood
We are going to a National Trust event so I might just have cake for the main meal

Ooh, cake's my favourite. I cba to go out in the rain, but there is a very nice cake shop round the corner from me!

Shrivelled Apple faces to accompany the gammon.

We eat a normal dinner and let the dc come up with spooky names. Mine are a bit suggestible to I leave this to them rather than risk someone refusing to eat. We also re-label any bottles or condiments. A few plastic spiders scattered on the table. If you have food colouring and a paint brush you can draw spiders on the dinner plates/glasses or even a spoon.
Light candles and turn the lights off.

Glaze the gammon with honey and roast it with apples. Caramelised apples is quite apt for this time of year so it'll give that sort of sticky sweet slightly sour taste 🥰

Make it into a creature

Or make it into a zombie

Serve it as a skeletons insides...

Serve it with these baked potatoes realfood.tesco.com/recipes/shrunken-potato-heads-with-slime-dip.html

It's all about the sides and presentation really...
