AIBU to miss old school party food?
I would love to turn up at a party and for them to be serving cheese and pineapple on cocktail sticks.
Anything else anyone misses?

We still have these at buffets! I wouldn't attend one without them Grin

BrightYellowDaffodil · 21/09/2020 19:38

Party Rings, bowls of Hula Hoops and Skips, cocktail sausages, and cheese and pineapple on a stick. Oh, and those chocolate animal shaped biscuits.

Simple tastes, me Grin

FairyAnn · 21/09/2020 19:38

Vol-au-vents! I love them 😁

RepeatSwan · 21/09/2020 19:39

I love cheese and pineapple, doesn't need to make a comeback because I can have it at home Smile

malificent7 · 21/09/2020 19:40

All of it althoughcheese and pineapple is top of the liat. Party food is the best thing about kids' parties.

Big sharing bowls of coronation chicken, though I’m prepared to accept this was a quirk of my Mum’s 80s buffets.

Vol-au-vents! I love them 😁

@lovingllamaa, @FairyAnn
I always put those on my buffets. It isn't a proper buffet without them Smile

Finger rolls cut in half with salmon spread on.

Thank you for this thread, we're going to have a party tea at the weekend Grin

Massive trays of baked potatoes, bowls of grated mature cheddar, Branston pickle, salty butter and silver skin onions. My mum was quite daring in the 70s and 80s and that's what we always had!

PaintYourSpiritGold · 21/09/2020 19:47

Butterfly cakes! They were the best

lovingllamaa · 21/09/2020 19:48

Do any children’s parties still serve jelly and ice cream?

OP posts:
rednsparkley · 21/09/2020 19:52

When we have a bring-it buffet I always bring a pickle hedgehog (cheese, pickled onions, pineapple, cocktail sausages) and a pickle veg-hog for the vegetarians/vegans. They are always completely devoured Grin It's ot a buffet if you don't have a hedgehog!

NancyBotwinBloom · 21/09/2020 19:54

Hot dog, cheese and a picked onion on a stick.

I'm going to make one next time we have a party. When we are all allowed out.

listsandbudgets · 21/09/2020 19:56

Jelly and ice cream

Pink wafer biscuits

boatyardblues · 21/09/2020 19:58

Viennese whirls

Mushroom vol au vents! Food of the gods.
