I am luckily enough to live close to most of the big four supermarkets so can pick and chose which party food to buy.

Also have Lidl and Aldi not far away.

What are the best bits of all the party food ranges?

Depends what you mean by party food.

We had some delicious breadcrumbed garlic mushrooms with garlic mayo from M&S the other day.... but they wouldn't be so good if they were part of a buffet people might be dipping in and out of for a few hours.

We had some nice bits from Iceland last year - their Indian banquets are usually pretty good.

I can recommend Bibbity bobbity prawns (or some such thing) and duck spring rolls from Iceland at £1 a bag. We got them last minute for DS's birthday tea and they went down a storm.

Oh bugger, I'm hungry now Grin

Tescos party food is all BOGOF at the moment and they have some lovely bits. I can also vouch for the duck spring rolls from Iceland. Chocolate cherry cups are yummy too x

We just had a selection of Sainsbury Christmas snacks, the guests had enjoyed it, especially the coconut prawns fans the prawns in spring roll batter. They sell them 2 for 5 pounds, but often reduce to 99p at the end of the day, you can freeze them and just bang in the oven when needed.

I would say Asda mozzarella dippers but if everyone finds out about them then there won't be any left for me Sad

I luffs them. I have them with sweet chilli sauce. I've just had a huge salad but I now want to go and raid the freezer for them.

Please don't buy them for your buffet. Please Grin

Last year I liked those little mini ice cream cones and were useful for dd when she needed a tiny pudding.

M & S - fabulous selection (especially the pork cracking and scallops in mint pea puree), and offering 3 for 2 on party food at the moment.

Marks and Spencer's party food is awesome but quite expensive. The dc's had some of the Tesco's party food or a buffet tea a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed it. I only ate tasted the chilli prawns and they were lovely.
