OmNoms of Ice and Fire! I created foods of Westeros

My Game of Thrones main feast.jpgTonight was the premier of Game of Thrones on HBO. As many of you know I have been looking forward to this series for a very long time.  Rather then go into detail about the show (I’m saving that one for The Beyond the Wall Podcast and for two I have vowed to be spoiler free as some people important to me have not seen the show yet) I will discuss my celebration of the show.

 

Tonight I decided to make a feast fit for Westeros, but rather then go crazy like the awesome gourmet chef Tom Colicchio of the Game of Thrones food trucks I had decided to make the food as simply as I do most dishes.  First off I was sad I don’t have a source for some good game meat, not the first time I have lamented this, so when I went shopping I looked for Cornish Game Hens, I couldn’t find any.  It is a good thing I couldn’t, when I told my husband this he turned his nose up at the idea, he would much prefer having a whole chicken… I can do that, and it’s cheaper.  For tonight though I bough some pork, while I can’t make a suckling pig I can make roasted pork.  I used a sauce we just discovered thanks to a friend and roasted it slowly in the oven leaving the center tender and moist.  The CousCous I bought ages ago was perfect, it had walnuts in it and field mushrooms and while I thought I was off mushrooms for a while, I can’t resist the tasty things.  Most importantly you tasted more of the walnut then the mushroom so that’s good.  Then (for me only as my husband shakes his head at my obsession for cheese and fruit) I sliced up a Gala apple and spread herbed goat cheese on it.  I swear this dinner was stupid simple.

LEMON CAKES.jpg

 

Next up was dessert.  Lemon Cakes are the signature dessert in Westeros, I swear GRRM must have a lemon fetish.  I looked for  Tom Colicchio’s lemon cake recipe and while it looks tasty it looks like a lot of work for something that will only last a day.  I wanted to come up with something I could transport and bring places, like BalticonViv, one of my co-hosts on the Beyond the Wall podcast teasingly challenged me to come up with something for our Live Game of Thrones viewing.  So I tried it out.  This is stupid simply, anyone can make it.  I bought some generic lemon cake mix and mixed that with a can of seltzer till it was nice and creamy.  I poured that into a cupcake tin and baked on 350 for 20 minutes.  After they cooled I filled them with store bought lemon filling, yeah store bought.  I could have made it myself but why?  Even when I worked in a bakery we used the premade stuff.  To fill them I used a pastry bag, if you don’t have one just take some wax paper or a ziploc baggie, make a cone and cut the end off.  Insert the tip into each cake and squeeze out a little filling.  Don’t do too much or you will make the cake burst.  I then sprinkled confectioner sugar over then.  These look a touch rough, but it was my first time.  Next time I will not fill them so high and I will find my sifter for the sugar.

 

Before the show we ate the main course, it was delish!  You will notice the difference between my food and the food truck food is that it is in proper Westeros proportions :)  We ate the lemon cakes during the show, they were insanely good.  My husband said “Yellow is my favorite flavor!” and gobbled his down.  It was far too tempting to go and eat them all, but neither of us wanted to tear ourselves away from the show to get more, so I think it might be wise to only eat these while distracted hee hee.  I put two aside and plan to open their Tupperware in two days time to see how they kept.

 

What did you do special for the premiere?  Or am I the only crazy one?  I can’t be the ONLY crazy one.
