EuroDipsion 2026! (with bonus photocards!)
For the past few years (2024, 2025) I've held a EuroDipsion party to celebrate Eurovision. It started as an excuse to make/eat a lot of dips and other fun party food...but it has morphed into a menu that is curated around each season's songs and contestants. My husband and I have a lot of fun trying to come up with food puns for the contestants every year...and honestly I think we have some good ones this year!
We had:
- Bangaranganoush served with Nân bread
- Spinach and Arti-Choke Me dip
- Nova S'more-a dip served with Før Vi Går-hjem (graham) crackers
- Bean Dip-dos do Cante
- "Fire" Roasted Salsa with Fer-tortilla chips
- Veronica Fusa-Rotel dip (I think this is a very American thing...it's a dip made with processed cheese, diced tomatoes and green chilies, and some sort of ground meat. I opted for chicken sausage)
For non-dip food we had:
- Chickenheitin Fingers (possibly my favorite pun this year)
- Ai-danish
- Sal Da Vin-Cheese Pizza and Pizza (with a slice of pepperoni)
- Soda Quero Mas (with the Dancing On The Ice Bucket)
New for this year and inspired by a friend who is very into K-Pop, I made decorated photocards of some of the contestants. I had intended to do more than this, but they actually took a lot of time (of which I don't have much lately.) 😅
Said friend attended the party and she was given the "Uncle Sal" card to take home lol. The Alexandra and Vanilla Ninja cards were for my brother (two of his favorite songs this year.)
Also a bonus photo of the "Italy flag" my niece drew for me a few years ago. My sister and her family weren't able to join us this year, but I put up the flag to give Italy some good luck this year. (It worked well for Lucio last year and clearly worked this year for Sal!) :)
