How does this sound for bonfire night food?

[IShitGlitter]

Every year I do fireworks in the garden on bonfire night along with a bonfire ect. Every year it's always the same food burgers and hotdogs. This year fancy something a bit different. I was thinking a big chilli in the slow cooker along sweet potato fries and rice and maybe still some sausages for the younger ones.

Theres about 12 adults and about 8 kids? Any ideas for something sweet after?

Oh that sounds just lovely.

We do a bonfire but are on a farm so it's in a field and we have about forty.

We do spicy butternut squash or lentil soup. Crusty bread. Homemade sausage rolls.

Then toffee apples, rocky road and gingerbread.

Tend to stick with stuff you don't need to sit or use cutlery to eat in our case.

Yours sounds lovely.

Traditionally cinder/treacle/toffee was served.

So you could do a desserts around that. It depends on what you think people would like. Anything from sticky toffee chocolate slabs to cheesecake, or parkin type squares

Mmmmm that sounds good!

Slice banana lengthwise, put chocolate of choice (rolos are good) in the middle. Wrap in foil and bake/BBQ/put near fire til it's all gooey and delicious for a really sweet tooth, add marshmallow

Parkin (gingerbread) pigs are traditional fare for Plot Night in Yorkshire. Delicious.

God yes parkin for pud

Sounds fabulous

Maybe a chesse board too?

To avoid the faff of forks/plates etc I'd omit the rice, scoop out the bottom of crusty rolls and use them to serve the chilli.

Pumpkin soup and pumpkin pie on bonfire night is a good way of using up the Halloween leftovers.

We always have hot pork pie, mushy peas and mint sauce for bonfire night. Plus baked potatoes and chilli.

I've done the same food every year for ages and I think there would be a riot if I changed the menu now.

Then we have parkin, hot chocolate and marshmallows and someone always brings home made bonfire toffee.

Am assuming my invite's in the post, OP?

All your menus sound really lovely, as a matter of fact.
Definite yes to treacle toffee, if you're going traditional.

Have a great time, y'all.

I’d love some veg personally
Corn on the cob perhaps

The chilli I make is packed full of veg I use a base of carrot, celery, onions then tinned Tom's and loads of peppers I put mushrooms in too maybe sweetcorn if am feeling it oh and mixed beans.

Oooo the bananas sound good as does treacle based puddings think a treacle tray bake would work topped with some kind of icing topped with red yellow and orange sprinkles and oh oh oh a load of flakes arranged as "logs" as a fire ready to light ....oh and then a indoor firework sparkler thing in the middle

Sticky gingerbread is nice (and trad) for Bonfire night. My recipe is also v easy and always popular - melted method with treacle, golden syrup and butter/marge, all else just stirred in.

You need smores. The best ones are marshmallows and rolos toasted over the fire then sandwiched between two chocolate biscuits

Jacker potatoes as well?

Jacket!

Could you all stagger your bonfire nights. I could visit each and do a taste test for you

Sticky toffee pudding or crumble are very autumny. Or something pumpkin spiced if you like it? allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/14835/spiced-pumpkin-cake.aspx

Also I make this in the winter and it really is top notch.

I always do 2 soups lentil and bloody mary soup for the adults.
Then its curry, pulled pork and mac cheese.
Sweet is normally smores.

Why have a second course? What you suggest would fill most people and sounds delicious.

Please remember to keep all your pets indoors and advise the neighbours.

Oooooo @newjob can I have the recipes for the soups please? Bloody Mary sounds delicious, and I like trying different veggie ones too
