Which supermarket party food bits would you recomend?

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.

Also watching with interest for our Christmas Eve buffet Xmas Grin

Got some mini pizzas from Iceland a few weeks back that were quite nice

LittleprincessinGOLDrocks · 08/12/2013 00:14

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

Mrswellyboot · 08/12/2013 00:16

I like the light garlic bread from aldi. It available all year and it is great.

I would go to marks for the rest. Can I join you Xmas Grin

I've just polished off some Asda duck and hosin spring rolls, £2 for 18, they were delicious.

WorraLiberty · 08/12/2013 00:21

Oh I tried the prawn toast from Iceland the other day and they were really nice.

AlbertoFrog · 08/12/2013 00:23

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

Sainsbury's duck spring rolls are lovely.

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

AlbertoFrog · 08/12/2013 00:27

Oops Blush

too much red wine obviously

EnianShelZman · 08/12/2013 00:35

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.

EnianShelZman · 08/12/2013 00:36

Oups, too much wine and phone do not mix!

SantaRedLegs · 08/12/2013 00:39

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.

HerlockSholmes · 08/12/2013 02:01

i love morrissons mini chicken curry samosas from the deli bit. i buy them just to munch for dinner. they are lovely cold so good for a buffet.

in fact anything from morrissons deli is pretty good.

Rosencrantz · 08/12/2013 02:03

ASDA's are soooooo good! Spring rolls!

Dolcelatte · 08/12/2013 06:38

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.

bragmatic · 08/12/2013 07:37

big plate of marshmallows. Trust me.

FortyMerryFuckers · 08/12/2013 07:44

I love m&s party food,

Jinty64 · 08/12/2013 07:45

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.
