Edible Spooky Foods: Entrées that Won't Eyeball You

We all want to visit the Haunted Woods this upcoming fall season - with cooler weather and upcoming Halloween festivities, everyone is in the mood for carnival games, haunted houses, and pumpkin patch visiting! But this time on your yearly excursion to the Deserted Fairgrounds, you forgot to pack your Light Faerie Sandwich and Faerie Chips! However, your stomach is growling louder than the Esophagor. What is a Neopian to do? Dare to take a visit and pick up a snack at the Spooky Foods stand? The Halloween Bruce shopkeeper is friendly enough, and points you to a spread of all kinds of local snacks. But wait, did that sandwich just slither across the table? I think something just flapped out of that soup, and this lollipop just winked at me! Not to mention, I hear some usual moans coming from the back kitchen... Here is a quick and handy guide to choosing the best (and least queasy) option the next time you visit the Deserted Fairground. While we want to avoid any slithering, slimey, or moaning dishes, this list will point out some of the most safe options. Despite many dishes containing an alarming amount of body parts, there are still plenty of excellent non-eyeball containing options that are quite good and rather charming, encapsulating the unique, fall-themed cuisine of Haunted Woods. After all, you don't fully trust that Bruce shopkeeper - last time, he tried to push me to try a tentacled Octornapie! Here is your guide to avoid heaving up your lunch the next time you decide to visit. Those with a sweet tooth will especially enjoy checking out these many Halloween and spooky themed treats and desserts!
