Festive buffet

[hashbrownsandwich]

AIBU to start a thread for festive buffet ideas?

My kids are with their dad for Christmas so we've decided it's going to be a permanent buffet situation here for all meals from 27th December - New Year's Day.

What's on your buffet hit list?

cold meats
Nigella red cabbage slaw with pomegranate is beautiful and delicious
potato salad, mixed tomato salads, cheeses with really good breads or crackers
an interesting green salad

start with some dips, maybe some smoked salmon on brown bread or canapés?
finish with some different puddings, trifle ( endless varieties), pavlova, fruit salad.

Following!

Are we talking about a finger buffet or a knife and fork buffet? I have ideas for both!

Turkey, stuffing and cranberry sandwiches
Mini pigs in blankets
Scotch eggs with sage and onion stuffing
Cheesy pull apart garlic bread (helps use up Christmas cheese!!)
Feta and cranberry filo parcels
Dippy cheese and crunchy bread

Charcuterie board with various chutneys
Cheese and biscuits

Back a mo, hungry now!

Pretty much anything bite size and food that can be eaten hot or cold.
Sausage rolls (I make mine with onion chutney)
Mini quiches
Honey sausages
Cold meats with crusty bread (or bake at home rolls if you don't want to go to the shop)
Pork pies
Cheese and bacon filled mini potato's
Chicken goujons

@ClandestineAdulation I think hot and cold, finger style and knife and fork, all suggestions welcome!

Following I have 7 adults 3 with dietary requirements coming (kids plus boyfriends) so I'm pretty much going to be stuck in the kitchen from the 28th unless I get creative. Buffet sounds great

Olives
Stuffed vine leaves
Hummus, tapenade etc
Tortilla
Crackers
Crusty bread
Cheeses
