What are some good group-contribution foods for a social get together?!
I like hosting a movie night every once in a while!. When I do that guests want to eat something, I’ve tried ordering pizza and received many “I’ll pay you back” promises that are never fulfilled!. Once I told everyone to bring Ice Cream toppings and we ended up making Banana Splits!. I got Bananas and Ice cream and everyone else brought ice cream sauces, nuts, whipped cream, cherries, etc!. Everyone loved the idea of everyone pitching in for the movie night snacks! (And I liked the idea of not having to buy everything myself!.) But I’m trying to think of something that we could all contribute to that everyone would like!. I’d had a few suggestions made!.
Mashed Potato Bar: Basically you make a big pot of mashed potatoes and set up a topping section with a bunch of stuff you’d put on a baked potato; gravy, shredded cheese, green onions, sour cream, butter, chili, etc!.
Home made pizzas: The host could supply pizza dough and maybe sauce while everyone else brings cheese, pepperoni, Canadian bacon, pineapple, olives, mushrooms, etc!.
Trifle Bar: have usual Trifle ingredients, cubed cake, whipped cream, assorted fruits, puddings, etc!. and have everyone make mini trifles in tall Parfait glasses!.
These are just some ideas I had; does anyone else have some awesome ideas for group contributing foods to serve!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

why don't you try a noodle bar-- u can cook a variety of noodles (soba noodles, rice noodles, udon noodles, etc!.)!. Place different toppings on the counter, like chicken strips, fish pieces, tofu, broccoli, eggplant slices, shrimp!. Place different sauces as well, like garlic sauce, soya sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce!. Let the guests choose which type of noodle, toppings and sauce they want!. Then cook the meal in a non-stick wok, using minimum amount of oil!. That way, u have a healthy meal which tastes great!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
