Hi I want to get some nice nibbles and picky food but where's best to get it from? I have m and s, sainsburys, asda, tesco etc nearby.

It's mainly for Christmas Eve with the leftovers used maybe Boxing Day.

I am trying tesco this year because they are saying everything cooks at the same temperature!

Tesco that is GENIUS!

I usually wack things in at the same temp
and hope for the best 🙈.

Anything in particular you can recommend?

Why aren't you making it yourself using only products from your allotment and foraging?

My 5 month old twins have put paid to the foraging this year Grin

Ha at foraging

Yes yes to Tesco
Everything cooks at 190
Genius indeed!

But is it actually nice though? Or do they look delicious and taste of nothing remembers past experiences with party food 😝

I thought the stuff in the Morrisons Christmas food catalogue thing looked enticing. Haven't actually tried it though. Dh insists on cooking mainly from scratch, which irks me a bit, as I would love to try one of those ready-made desserts which look like they are made of gold.

The Sainsbury's bits are nice. Yakatori Chicken skewers are really good, their 90pp a bag sausage rolls are fine, Indian selection tasty. Its 3 boxes for a fiver on the smaller boxes.

I know it's not on your list so might not be one nearby bit had some Waitrose duck straws at the weekend and they were yummy, best duck spring roll I've had!
At Tesco they have mini hot dogs and burgers that I haven't tried yet but I imagine to be yum - love the Brie and Cranberry parcels (a lot) they have a Camembert to bake with a bread twist round it that is always a winner. I love party food can you tell!!

Tesco finest range has been nice this year - we've had two family celebrations already.

As someone else says they all cook at the same temperature which is handy and very similar cooking times (lots are identical)

The sesame chicken pyramids with peanut sauce are bloody yummy as are the Thai chicken skewers and the coconut prawns. Oh and the steak and ale pies are delicious too!

Good job I'm rather pregnant with the amount I've eaten Grin

Tesco duck spring rolls are tasty - the mini pizzas not so good. They are edible but taste a bit of a jar of mixed herbs. The little chicken bites went down well with the children - and some of the grown ups.

Don't use 'everything cooking at the same temperature' as a way of choosing what you serve. Within reason, you can do that with anything - I would look out for what looks nice in the most convenient shop and is good value for money.

If you have things that cook at 180 and some at 200, just put the 200 stuff on the top and the 180 stuff on the bottom.
