Please help oh wise people in my phon3

For a gathering of friends next week at my house I randomly generated everyone a colour for the theme of their graze board - really wish I'd cheated now!

Please help!
I've got blueberries
Blue macaroons
Blue flumps
Blue million sweets
Blue pencil sweets
Might get some Blue cheese of some description
And crisps in blue packaging

What else can I make/buy

Blue corn crackers?

invisiblecat · 12/09/2024 14:22

Fairy cakes with blue icing and sprinkles?

All together on the same board, it sounds revolting!? Is this just for a joke or is it for eating?

If it’s for eating, I would pick either sweet or savoury. Sweet would probably be easier and do a selection of blueberry themed mini-desserts.

Are you actually expecting people to eat this nonsense, really sounds like a bad case of style over substance.
Why not abandon the whole thing and get one person to bring nibbles, one to bring cold meat, one to bring cheese etc?
Far more sensible!

If you can find some blue corn tortilla chips they are nice and would go well with the blue cheese.

Avoid blue waffle

One large piece of Stilton should do it!

My friend once made some wonderful cookie monster cakes for my daughters party with dessicated coconut dyed blue. Maybe not the most adult idea but definitely a talking point.

You've basically given yourself the worst colour. I'd be going for things in blue packets like cool doritos, plain kettle-type crisps, pretzels. Definitely blue cheese, you could get a couple of types.

WKD if it's boozy.

How will you stop the food from touching the other food?
I bloody hate these things

The blue takis (crisps from the US) are actually, alarmingly, blue. I think I saw some in Poundland...

BobbyBiscuits · 12/09/2024 14:37

Blueberry/blackberry muffins, cupcakes or traybake. You could put a sneaky bit of blue colouring in as well.
For me blue is not a very natural colour for food! If you boil red cabbage it turns bright blue though. I guess you could make dolmades type stuffed cabbage leaves with boiled red cabbage as the casing?
I guess if you wanted to do something a bit out there you could buy steak and serve them 'bleu' ie very rare, and have a blue cheese sauce to go on top? And I think you can get potatoes that are blue-ish? Or maybe those are purple?

I hate graze boards, the moist food makes the crunchy food stale and most people don't like different foods all mixed up. I use lots of the colourful little tapas type bowls.
Also there are loads of nasties in most of the food you described, obviously if they're unnaturally blue, so I'm guessing people won't eat much of them.

Thanks for all the helpful suggestions!
Am trying to source blue crisps!
