Awesome, Chow! The Ultimate Hamilton Punny Party Menu, Because This Is The Quality Content You're Here For

You and I've been through a lot over the years, so I'm sure it won't surprise you to learn that I've spent the last week thinking up groan-worthy Hamilton food puns. Because it's all about quality and priorities and as many puns as possible here.

And just to give full credit where it's due: I found several of these puns on this 2015 Tumblr post, including the OUTSTANDING jello one, but the rest John and I came up with on our own. So as we prepare for the big Hamilton debut on Disney Plus this Friday (EEEEE!), let's make sure dinner that night includes intellectual intercourse over four sets of courses. And if it's noisy, well, hate the din, love the dinner.

(Oh yes, it's already begun, Ham fam. BUCKLE UP.)

For the Young, Scrappy & Hungry:

  1. I laughed all the way through that!
    I am paying for one month of Disney+ just so I can overload (it that even possible?!) on Hamilton! Hoping they release a DVD sooner rather than later!

  3. These are AWESOME!! My planned menu for the night includes A.Ham Sliders, Not Throwing Away My Tots, Jefferson Mac & Cheese, You Don't See How the Sausage Roll is Made, and Three Fundamental Fruits at the Exact Same Time.

  4. Huh. Maybe I will get them after I see Hamilton. I love a good pun!

  5. Yes! I was already going to have Sam Adams but now I need to add brie to the grocery list. I'm thinking of having Aaron Burr-itos.

  6. I died and was reborn with each one of these. Glorious!!! I'm not having a watch party until later this month, but I'm bringing a My Dearest Angel(ica) food cake and serving that with 3 Fundamental Fruits at the Exact Same Time. I'm technically supposed to bring a side dish, so I might have to steal the cheese plate idea because *Chef kiss*

  7. That poor man, they're going to eat him a chive?

  9. This is awesome! I have had the same obsession, but trying to find puns to fit our pre-planned menu for my Hamilton/4th of July party on Saturday. So far I have: Aaron Burr-gers; Not throwing away my BRAT(s); Buns & Chips (and all the condiments); And if you don't know, POTATO (salad), Mr. President; History has its (deviled) EGGS on you; Rise up, when you're livin' for BAKED BEANS; A MELON things I haven't done; Washington on your Side Salad; and Angelica, Eliza and VEGGIES. Dessert is still TBD, but I'm hoping for 3 Fundamental Fruits in the Exact Same PIE!

  15. Have you in the past couple of months changed how your images are hosted? For at least a couple of months now, (maybe longer, COVID has given me that blursday feeling for months now) all of your image links have been broken when I access the site from my work computer. We have one of the most locked internet accesses I've ever seen. Lots of things that work in most places don't work here. So I wouldn't be surprised if it's not a common problem, but I don't have any problems with Cake Wrecks.

    1. Hmm, I haven't changed anything, no, but it's possible Blogger has - and we have Cake Wrecks on a different hosting server, which would explain why you can still see those photos. My suggestion would be to clear your cache, since that often helps, and then check to see if your browser needs any updates. (Or just try a different browser.) Usually if it's not the cache it's something with the browser!

  16. Why do you cook like you're running out of thyme?

  17. I completely lost it with the Fully Fried Vidalia. Considering King George's parts were my favourite parts of the musical, your pun on that was GENIUS.
