Pride: anything that presents beautifully but is inedible. (Didn’t this one used to be Vanity? cf original Bedazzled movie, the guy who had a mirror permanently affixed in front of his face.)

Sloth: the type of food you drink through a straw when your jaws are wired shut – no effort required.

Envy: an empty plate.

Lust: a chocolate fountain big enough to get into, cf The Vicar of Dibley, just before the bishop comes in.

Anger: very very tough meat

Gluttony: it doesn’t matter, they’ll eat it.

Avarice: the item on the menu of which there is only one serving left in the kitchen.

If we’re doing drinks, how about envy being that bit with a tequila shot where everyone sees who first succumbs to the need to wash away the burn?
