Party Food suggestions

If I've had a lot of people over, I do a pot of chili in winter - you can make veg chili as well and in summer I do hamburgers and hot dogs

For parties I've also had trays of sandwich meat (antipasti) and cheese with lots of rustic bread and let people make their own sandwiches.  That way, it cuts down on the work before hand and if there are leftovers, you can actually use them.    Then veg and dips.  Hummus and pita is a good one too.  Don't make fruit salad, just cut up the fruit.  You can also get the frozen appetizers at sainsbury's.  Oh and don't forget the sausage rolls and the cheese and onion rolls - It isn't a party without the rolls!!

We need a bbq!  I would have loved to do burgers and hotdogs.  I saw a cute portable Green Webber one at John Lewis.

I like the make your own sandwich idea.

The rolls and the cheese and pineapple on a toothpick

Oy, we have about 60 people coming now and it's supposed to rain.  I'm freaking out.

(I would invite everyone here, but where would I put everyone )

speaking of grills, a make-your-own-smores table is fun, too.

YUM!  But do they do those here?  Would people think they were odd?

They did a Smores for 2 at a cafe called DTUT right near my apartment in NYC.  Oh it was so good.

"party on... dance the night away" 

It will be fab.
I've only heard it will be lovely and sunny

They might think they're odd ... but only until they taste them!

I have made a few converts but you have to use digestives and cadbury so it's not quite the same.  Still sickly sweet though!!!

I use chocolate covered digestives and plop the marshmellow between the two chocolate sides.

very nice

I so wish Rich liked any of that stuff.  He is so funny about food.  That is all perfect for me though. (And most people )

Well, it's for a party!  So if you've got a mix of things he can eat what he likes.
