Maybe a homemade salsa and some tortilla chips or a baked thing from Europe!. England is known for tea and scones!. You could find a bread recipe, like Irish bread or French bread!. Or you could do French crepes, which should be easy to make in advance and really cheap and delicious!. Crepes can be filled with cheese, cream cheese, fruit, ice cream, etc etc!.

Crepes are always easy to make and are very low maintenance!. Just prepare them before hand (they're easily stored for travel) and take some toppings like Carmel sauce, fudge sauce, strawberry topping, and powdered sugar!. People can choose and make their own!. :) hope i've helpedWww@FoodAQ@Com
