What did we eat at children's parties in the 1970's?
Answers:
Screaming Yellow Zonkers, Twinkies and Kentucky Fried Chicken
Sandwichs, swiss roll, jelly, icecream, custard creams, jam tarts
ice cream and jelly
Jelly in those little paper cup things shaped like flowers with a small blob of vanilla ice cream, fish paste sandwiches and iced gems.
Sandwiches,sausage rolls,cornflake chocolate cakes,jammy dodgers,then jelly and cream.
Birthday cake and ice cream; we didn't go all out and spend a fortune like today's parents are convinced out of guilt that they have to spend.
Meat paste sandwiches with little flags in that said "potted meat"
iced fairy cakes with cherries on top, jelly done in rabbit mould tin ( remember my mum doing the rabbit black and then putting mashed green jelly around it to resemble grass.), Iced biscuits, jam tarts, sausages on sticks, sausage rolls, jam sandwiches, cheese sandwiches, chees and pineapple on sticks,crisps and fizzy pop to drink. My birthday cake was usually a numeral cake (shaped as my number of age)
I remember birthday cakes being a lot nice then. I remember my Mum taking me into town and letting me pick my cake at Swiss chalet (UK)
Sometimes Mum would do individual jellies in tiny paper dishes with a whirl of cream on top and hundreds and thousands.
orange squash, jellies, Birds instant Whip, cake and crisps.
If the party would last long enough for a meal, we would have sandwiches (peanut butter & jelly and bologna,) chips and juice. Then cake & (sometimes) ice cream.
Most of the parties I went to as a kid did not have a meal. They were parties with games and running, screaming kids. We would have chips and popcorn and then cake and (sometimes) ice cream. I think every single party I went to all had kool-aid as the drink.
Spam fritters, fishpaste sarnies, arctic role and lots of other crap!
Wow, I'm learning a lot about parties in the UK compared to parties in America. I don't think jellies and fish sandwhiches would go over very well here. :)
In the US, we would have cake and ice cream, sometimes rootbeer floats. It seems like instead of a meal, we'd have a watermelon. That's in the summer, of course. And hot dogs and maybe bologna if we ate a meal. I can't remember any parties in cold weather.
Ice cream - pudding - homemade cake - jello

JAJAJAJAJAJA Great GREAT QUESTION...it made me laugh a lot, total flash back!!!!
cookie monster cupcakes, little carrots, ritz crackers, vienna sausages, cheese bites, milk birthday cake, yogurt cups fruit strips, finger foods are kiddie foods, plain old potato chips also. Little ones are way busy and want to eat run and talk and play at the same time.
That's an easy one - Cake with vanilla ice cream.
Parties were more simple in the 70's - we didn't really serve a meal. You just had dessert and Kool-aid. (the more red dye the better) LOL
Sandwiches (always smelly egg ones) angel delight and jelly swill roll or my ma would make a battenburg.
Loads of crisps and lemonade (am Irish and we have red lemonade)
Then play pass the parcel and musical chairs, if you won you got bags of cola bottles and flying saucers!
The same as now.
Sandwiches ,sausages on sticks ,trifle ,cake etc.
jelly, sausage rolls, fish paste sarnies, chocolatey cornflake things, trifle, arctic roll if you were lucky, ice cream and anything with silvery balls or hundreds and thousands on top - and fondant fancies peanuts and crisps and fizzy drinks
Sandwiches(cheese or tuna), fairy cakes, choc rice crispie cakes, jelly, ice cream,crisps,and generally sweet stuff that you didnt eat every day!
