Well, that's better than I'm doing. All I can come up with is liquor and stale bread. The first won't go over well with, well, anyone. The second the kids probably wouldn't enjoy. They'd think it was the dumbest party ever.
'Get It Done'
Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Oh, they have those chocolate gold coin things. Treasure is good.
I think realism is possibly not your friend here, vw.
You could make cookies shaped like swords or treasure chests or decorated with the skull and crossbones. Chocolate coins or other things to be treasure.
I'm blanking on non-desserty things.

This I realize.
Oh, the chocolate coins are a good idea!
There are also the cheddar and Colby Jack cheeses that are shaped like sunbursts-- I think Sargento makes them? With some saltines standing in for "stale bread," maybe?
Also Jell-O is good for almost anything.
Whole Foods carries a snack food called Pirate's Booty. I think it's puffed corn with cheese powder - sort of organic cheetoes (and not orange). How could it be wrong?

Trader Joe's usually carries it as well.
but, honestly, hospitality doesn't mean making someone feel that they owe you a debt. It means making someone feel welcome and comfortable.
Adding to the chorus on this one. {{{Sox}}}
Sox, I'm sorry the mother of your friend is being a pain. If you're so stressed that you're no longer having a good time, I'm going to put the suggestion of getting in the car and heading home to T. Shortening the vacation is better than a exploding head.
Pirate's Booty is teh yum.

Oh, yes! Actually, I think our regular grocery stores here carry that. Fantastic idea!

Perfect! Thank you guys!
Yum!
Also, the kids could frost their own Pirate cookies - smiley faces with Smarties M&Ms or whatever stuck on for one eye, and with line of chocolate icing and an edible frosted eyepatch where the other should be? (always good to practice fine motor skills in a tasty way!)
You could tell them that Ship's Biscuit tended to have weevils and worms in them - good excuse for eating jelly worms!
Pieces of Eight! Cookies with the number 8 written on them!
Fish fingers! (Or Fish Sticks, do you folks call them?) Made from Mermaids' Tails!
Calamari! Made from baby Krakens!
Seaweed! Or, you know - Nori Flakes/whatever's available. (I LOVE crunchy fried seaweed - you get it here by the bag, like potato crisps. Yum yum yum!)
