The sliced cucumber and onion in malt vinegar shoved in with an unidentifiable cheese triangle on white.

ShalomJackie · 07/09/2018 20:39

Sausage rolls here too.

TechnicalSergeantGarp · 07/09/2018 20:40

I'm going to have to change mine to hedgehogs which is one choice. Cheese - one pineapple, one pickled onion.

I'm having a traditional buffet, everyone is bringing one dish.

You can have posh if that's what you like, I'm not.

Nobody has mentioned my favourite, mini corned beef pasties or corned beef pie.

Allgirlskidsanddogs · 07/09/2018 20:47

From your list - Sausage roll, but chicken vol-au-vent is my absolute favourite.

TechnicalSergeantGarp · 07/09/2018 20:48

I'm changing DC to pigs in blankets and Dbro to trifle - I make individual trifles with jelly, bought (finest) custard, whipped cream and silver balls (dragée so posh even though I'm frightfully common)

Don't limit yourself to my list. I'm keen to hear ultimate choices.

Egg mayo finger sandwhiches.

00100001 · 07/09/2018 20:51

Me: Sandwiches (triangles, naturally)

DH: sausage rolls

DS: cheese and pineapple!

hugoagogo · 07/09/2018 20:56

Cheese and onion quiche.

TheFillijonk · 07/09/2018 20:58

Always cheese and pineapple on sticks.

iklboo · 07/09/2018 20:59

A looooooong time ago I went to ex-p's work Xmas do. The buffet had 'bite sized orbs of turkey with a creamy garlic filling, wrapped in breadcrumbs'

Or, as I later found out, Bernard Matthews Mini Kievs.

LapinR0se · 07/09/2018 21:01

Oh this is very hard. I would happily live on buffet type food for all meals for the rest of my days.

Summer cheapy
Chunks of lovely ripe melon wrapped in salty Parma ham on cocktail sticks
Sundried tomato and mozzarella skewers

Summer fancy
Tuna tartare with avocado in little shot glasses
Cold roast beef fillet cut into the finest slivers with horseradish cream

Winter cheapy
Honey and mustard cocktail sausages
A whole baked Camembert with things to dip in it (crudités, crusty bread and the like)

Winter fancy
Foie gras on Melba toast with fig chutney
Roasted prunes wrapped in bacon

ALemonyPea · 07/09/2018 21:01

Cheese and pickled onion on a stick

LoniceraJaponica · 07/09/2018 21:03

Flipflop789 · 07/09/2018 21:13

Ooooh either corned beef and potato pie or a quiche Smile

Whatsthisbear · 07/09/2018 21:14

DS-chicken nuggets- I didn't even get to finish the question.
DH-sausage rolls
Me-too indecisive, head will explode trying to choose between butties, sausages rolls, pork pies, crisps.... I love a buffet.

Babybearsporij · 07/09/2018 21:21

Mushroom vol au vonts. Vastly underrated.

Rockbird · 07/09/2018 21:25

Cold salmon. Yum.

Katedotness1963 · 07/09/2018 21:38

Those wee bite sized sausage rolls.
Salmon mayo sandwiches
Caprese skewers
Absolutely must have the cheddar pineapple/cheddar pickled onion sticks.
Mini pork pies
Chicken satay
Spring rolls
Tesco used to have bags of peanuts, raisins and chocolate chips, I could eat a whole bowl by myself.
Profiteroles

My goodness, I'm hungry now!

CMOTDibbler · 07/09/2018 21:46

Picnic eggs - those things like a scotch egg where the egg is chopped and mixed with mayo (or something) inside.

But I do love a hedgehog!
