It is for women, men or a mixed crowd!? Chicken salad is a big hit with the ladies (good on croissants, wrapped in a big tortilla, served with fancy crackers or stuffed in a pita pocket), served with fresh fruit salad and soup!.
If men are involved, snazzy sandwiches are also nice, but include meats like roast beef, ham, etc!.
You could cook a beef brisket or pork roast in a crock pot and serve it with potato salad, slaw and dessert!. Serve it with an assortment of breads on the side, so that folks can make sandwiches or eat it with a fork and BBQ or horseradish sauce!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
