Hi all,
Now I did have a post asking aobut catering for a party, but circumstances have changed and we arent having such a large party, due to lack of RSVP's.
So we now have changed the menu but I need help as im only stuck on food such as
pizza
sausage rolls
chicken nibbles
cocktail sausages
We dont have fancy foods etc... can anyone suggest any other food we can do, finger food etc... but so we can make enough to help fill people up.
there is
23 adults and 10-13 kids coming.
give or take a few....

little corn fritters can be pre made and heated up when needed, spice them up if wanted with cumin, coriander and chili sauce and serve with sour cream and extra chili sauce.
Onion bahjis are again easy to pre make and heat up when needed.
cob bread filled with hot dips, served with extra bread and fresh veggies.
Or what about a few platters of salad, bread rollls ham with relishes/chutnies etc.
mini pies and or samosas

Hi some more thoughts
cream puff cases make small and fill with something savoury in a creamy sauce/white sauce type of thing--smoked fish, oysters, mushrooms,cheese & onion / pineapple, asparagus.
toasted rolled bread, cut off crusts from sandwich slice butter.apply filling to otherside, similar type to above, roll up (butterside out) and place join down in lined dish and toast in oven till lightly toasted ,can be sprinkled with cheese or sesame seeds
Dips with raw or blanched vegetable fingers-carrot,cauliflower florets,capsicum,corgette, mushroom, tomatoe
If you want something sweet small cream puffs again but use custard with fruit, or cold custard and set jelly, or with whipped cream and fruit, or set jelly, or a chiffon or foam or fool type mixture that is set and spoon in
Sweet dips,I use a peanut and chocolate dip from Alison Holst, fromage frae (spelling?) I make a type of cream cheese dip just cream cheese, icing sugar and juice of lemon and/or orange to get a good consistency and a flavour you like. serve wih pieces of fruit fresh or firm cooked fruit kiwifruit,mandarines,persimmon,banana,pineapple,apple,pear,grape,walnuts,
Fruit chiffon or whips but done on a biscuit or cooked base and cut in small squares.
Happy party

Hi Zeetra
Let us know what you finally have and how it goes.
How about a cheese ball or cheese log I do a log as It seems easier to serve.
Nan's Cheese Log.
Best made the day before.
4 oz Grated Tasty Cheese
2 oz chopped Ham (or salami or beer stick)
2-3 spring onions, (or chives)
2-3 tbsp Mayonaise
Mix together shape into log and wrap in foil or cling wrap.
chill in fridge till firm
Beat 2 oz cream cheese til smooth
spread over the log and roll in Chopped Nuts or toasted sesame seeds or chopped parsley
chill again then wrap till required
serve with plain crackers.
Happy party Jean

ok, so far the menu stands at
pizza
sausage rolls
mini bread cases
aspragus rolls
chicken nibbles
a few savouries
cocktail sausages
chop suey
For sweets I have
2 pavalovas ( homemade of course)
2 banoffie pies ( homemade of course)
piklets
fruit salad
Of course have chips and dip, fresh veges to dip, popcorn
So hopefully I have enough quantities of everything, we did stipulate that it wasnt a dinner so i hope they dont expect a full meal.
If so Maccas is up the road
