hi there,
my wife does a brilliant buffet so we can all relax -see puts out things like ;-
cold turkey, gammon and roast beef. Prawns in a dressing
She also has side dishes for the meat e.g sweet chilli sauce, mango mayonnaise, cranberry
chorizo sausage
mini spare ribs
sometimes vol au vents filled with chicken, or prawns or cheese n' onion
onion rings, sliced asst. peppers
Salad with usual things
plate with asst. sliced melon, pineapple, pears
asst nuts
breadsticks, different small rolls
asst. cheeses
asst. pickles

later on she does a knickerbocker glory type thing ;-
asst flavour ice creams and puts out little dishes full of chopped brownies, milky ways, minstrels, smarties, buttons -white and milk
melted chocolate with strawberries, grapes, marshmallows, brazil nuts

hope that gives some ideas
have a lovely festive season to all the orgers

did pass this suggestion onto her but she is not amused !!. mind you when the kids bring their friends home she absolutely loves it and wants to feed the 5,000. Suppose you could all form an orderly queue !!.

her latest creation last night was some sort of fried rice thing -basically she marinates cold cubed roast pork or beef in sweet chilli sauce,worchester sauce, some honey, garlic and little tomato puree then stir fries it and puts to one side. Then she stir fries some leftover rice with a little garlic, adds in 2 beaten eggs and once this is cooked through adds back in the meat, mixes together and it's fantastic.

she tells me next time she's going to do it with chorizo sausage, red pepper, and red onion -can't wait.

bowl of mixed nuts
cheese cubes
sausage rolls
cocktail sausages
pizza slices
turkey sandwiches with left overs
sliced ham,beef etc
mixed lettuce pack and cherry tomatoes
cocktail sticks with various fruit cubes/
same with cheese and meat
prawns
coleslaw
crusty rolls so they can make there own

The list is completely endless as near enough anything can be used for a buffet
