Imagine you’re at a buffet table, what do you put on your plate?

The longest buffet table imaginable: loads of options.

What do you go for?

(I’m bored, hungry and love a buffet!)

Fucking everything Grin

I love a buffet. A beige buffet even.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 24/04/2020 21:44

I don't like buffets much - I'm a veggie and quite awkward. I don't like things to get all mixed up on the plate.

BUT I do like:
Veggie sausage rolls
Onion bhajis or veggie pakora (ideally with mint yoghurt dip, but otherwise some chilli sauce)
Egg mayo sarnies
Crisps
A bit of salad
Cheese board, ideally with a nice hunk of bread
Celery sticks
And then all the cake

TerrorWig · 24/04/2020 21:44

My preference would be though - posh M&S canapé type things. Mini Yorkshire puds with beef stew in them. Battered prawns and sticky sweet chilli sauce. Prawn cocktail vol au vents, mini quiches.

My absolute favourite are duck spring rolls. We get them from Iceland every Xmas Grin

Looneytune253 · 24/04/2020 21:46

Sausage roll, hot dog, cheese, pickled onion, crisps, CRAB STICKS

RedRed9 · 24/04/2020 21:48

Apart from the crab sticks (maybe we’ll have a very small plate of them tucked away down the end) you all have excellent taste!

I'm another one here to ask if everything is an acceptable option...

RedRed9 · 24/04/2020 21:59

Jelly oranges made into little boats

Oh my goodness I remember these at a party I went to as a child! Pretty sure there was also a hedgehog cake made of chocolate fingers. And someone had Tracy Island.
