Top of the weird yet wonderful would have to be the 'Cheese & Bacon Turtleburgers'
go on, google it. You know you want to......
One of the ideas I saw, I thought I could be bothered making for Lunch today. Mummy onna Stick.
Either make meatballs or buy them pre-made. Using either Kabana or Saveloys (little boys to most Aussies), make head and bodies on a bamboo skewer. I then spread them with a smidge of Philadelphia cream cheese, although I know now, I could have bought the homebrand cream cheese in a tub. I boiled up some egg noodles, nice and wide - wider than fettuchini, although that would still do the trick.
Starting at the head I wrapped a strand of pasta round and round, if the strand was too short, then a second or third could be added.
I laid them down in a pre-greased casserole dish and turned the oven onto just above 'keep warm' - if you are not careful, the pasta could cook and get crunchy. Before popping them into the oven to re-heat, I made eyes with bits of capers, slipping them just uder the 'bandages'
I had them heating slightly in the oven while heating up some pasta sauce for dipping.

Isn't this cute?
It was fiddly, but I think for a party, I would make the effort to make more and heat gently in an oven.
