The Walking Dead Hershel’s Spaghetti With Meatballs Recipe

on

In the ‘Internment’ episode of The Walking Dead, Hershel declares that they should have Spaghetti Tuesday, much to the amusement of viewers and bemusement of his co-prisoners.

His statement is somewhat bizarre; spaghetti Tuesdays on a Wednesday? And yes, they’d naturally need spaghetti to be able to cook it…

Weirdness aside, in the spirit of Halloween (when all the ghouls and zombies come out to play) we thought we’d share an interpretation of the dinner Herschel might have made.

Serve this as a main at your Halloween dinner tonight; it’s guaranteed to delight your guests!
