3 Purim Seudah Menus with a Global Taste
Dressing up in costume, eating triangular shaped cookies called hamantaschen, and delivering gift baskets to our friends are all significant parts of the Purim holiday. And although there is no religious significance, a lot of us tend to go all out and match everything—our entire family’s costumes, our gift baskets, and our menu—to a theme.
I’m guilty! Last year, I went Mediterranean-inspired and my whole family dressed the part and delivered the chummos and pita-chip packages you see on Perfect Ideas for Mishloach Manot. Since we love themes so, I’ve got three themed menus for you—Asian, Spanish, and Italian menus for every course, from starters to dessert. Pick one or mix and match. If you’re really adventurous, make the entire menu and serve the recipes in small tasting party dishes, allowing your guests to straddle the globe as they walk from one side of your dining room to the other.
Whether you’re sporting a sombrero or a kimono this Purim, you’re sure to savor something out-of-this-world.
Asian Menu
Health-boosting ingredients, savory soy flavors, and in season produce characterize these Asian favorites I chose for you.
Italian Menu
From the meat dishes of the North, to the pasta meals of the south, taste all of Italy in just one meal.
Spanish Food
Spanish food is exciting and palate tickling. These are some of the stars of the distinct and popular cuisine.

I am making Ropa Viejo YUM!
I’m making Cinnamon Sugar Churros. The kids love these.
I want to make hamantaschen this year!!
I am making challah as my contribution to the seudah
eating out this year so i’m not cooking…:(
last year we did pirate theme: walk the plank chicken (cedar plank chicken), drunken fish (yes, from this site…amazing!), rum cake etc…
I am making many types of hummies of course…my kids fave is lemon, but we will also make prune, cherry, strawberry, and blueberry…as for dinner, ack, with all of these cookies, who knows!! Something light I hope!!
I’ve been invited out so not making anything.
Not making a seudah in my home.
Having the seudah at my son, daughter in-law grandchildren’s home!
Savory hamentashen with mushroom filling~
We are invited out- happy to have a break from cooking!
haentashens of course!
I’m making my yummy sweet potato leek soup!
We are having Mexican this year. Brisket tacos, corn salad, quinoa and maybe chicken hamentashen.
I made falafel with pita bread and conditments such as diced beets, plain yogurt with lemon, hummus, spinach and arugala, sliced onions, sliced tomatoes,
then an Israeli couscous salad with yellow and red bell peppers, chopped parsley, chopped olives, red onion dressed in EVOO and lemon juice. We also had carmelized onion and tomatoe hamanstachen and apricot and fig jam hamanstachen for desseert dusted with powdered sugar. It was yummy! We celebrated Esther’s feast last night with friends!
I’m actually going to my mom for the seudah, I’m glad to have a break! I love these menu ideas though!
Hmmm, difficult to decide. They all look wonderful. But I think Pasta Fagiole always wins the day for me. Then again, churros……
Love the ideas here, and the chance to match a costume to a theme.
All these menus sound delish!
I’m not hosting this year and am not involved inthe food preperations. But it seems like no theme, just good wholesome food.
Wow! tons of work must have gone into these menus. Much appreciated!
