Want to set the perfect mood for Game of Thrones night? Game of Thrones themed food is the perfect way to feel immersed in to Winterfell in 298AC.
Let me start by saying that these are not the healthiest foods. However, they are great for a cheat day! Specifically on a Sunday night while watching Game of Thrones. I just couldn’t help myself and had to share them! I did, however, tweak the recipes a bit to make them a tad bit healthier.
Today we will be having Sam’s favorite Pork Pie from Castle Black along with Tyrion’s favorite corn fritters for dinner and Sansa’s Lemon Cakes for dessert.
