Birthday party food sweet 16?!
Birthday party food sweet 16?
The party is being held on a sightseeing boat- a two hour tour. We dont have any other "theme" but want some different snacks, etc. Any ideas? (It's this summer, too cold now!)
thanks for any advice
Answers:
I would try to stick with finger type foods, teens like to munch and nibble on foods at parties. You didn't say how many people are expected, and not sure what the budget is, but mixed cheese and olives/pickle trays would work, or those yummy bacon wrapped watercress appetizers, provided you have a way to keep things hot/warm. Also for the main course, you could either make ahead or have them pre-made, sub-marine sandwiches, and cut them into individual sandwiches, (with the meats and cheeses already on the bread, but the condiments like mayo, mustard, banana peppers, tomatoes, etc...available for them to build their own). I wouldn't go for foods that are too messy, considering you will be on a boat. Have a great party!

Weekly Recipe War Group
This group is for those who like to cook, collect recipes or just share family traditions through weekend e-mail wars. To explain how a war works: Each weekend we will have an open group where everyone can post recipes or traditions to the group from Friday through Sunday evening. We will have themed wars such as Chicken recipes or Cookie recipes for example. We will also have Holiday themed wars to cover Christmas, Easter, Valentines, St. Patrick's Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, 4th of July and maybe others too. I would also like to do freezer cooking or once a month cooking, grilling, baking and so on. So when a war is announced please send in your recipes.
I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU JOIN THIS GROUP IN DAILY DIGEST MODE. IT IS A HIGH VOLUME GROUP DURING THE MONTHLY WAR.

possibly try to be creative and make blue or green colored non-alcoholic drinks and go to a party store and buy those little mini umbrella things to go with the drinks
make sure you dont eat too much, though....
i suggest you get guacamole and chips
you could have a hawaiian theme
I'd suggest that you simply buy large pizzas in different exotic flavours to serve up, most people like pizza and it is easy to eat. Failing that you could go to your favourite cafe in town, y'know, a place that you love the food at, and ask them if they do party platters. That way you can leave the catering to them and can specify what sweet and savoury food you want, and it should all look really professional!
Have a great sweet 16!!
