Easy tea after the panto on NYE

[MegBusset]

We’re going to the panto on NYE and won’t get home until about 8pm. Looking for a quick and easy, but nice supper that we can have when we get home!

• only four of us, two adults and two teens
• no meat, nuts, sesame or eggs
• nothing spicy
• something buffet-y / nibble-y rather than a big sit-down meal
• quite happy to include shop-bought food, I’m not a great cook!

I'd probably have cheese, biscuits, bread, cheese straws, pickles, olives, crisps etc. I find any excuse to eat that sort of a meal.

Raid m and s for Greek meze type food or homemade. Spinach and feta parcels, dolamades, tzatziki, pitta, falafels, houmous. Various bits to just warm in oven or take out fridge

Pizza and garlic bread, sorted!

Roast tomato soup (shop-buy a nice one) with cheese toasties

I'd probably just buy the supermarkets 3for2 party food and just stick it in the oven.

This with (jingle) bells on 💯

Picky bits/ buffet/ mezze is hard work imo
I’d do a hearty soup and crusty bread.
Smoked haddock and corn chowder or leek and potato.

I haven’t had this for ages. I’m going to add it too my Christmas week menu.

Agree with party food with pre-made salad and crusty rolls and crisps etc

How about some sort of base like warmed focaccia, wraps or pitta breads and then buy a load of dips and veggie fillings and salad to eat with them?

Or go with hot chocolate and banana pancakes or drop scones or home made waffles?

I would do bread, cheese, crackers and some bits like chutney, grapes etc.

But I love a reason to eat cheese.

We like a Mexican feast on NYE - a big chilli, wraps, tortilla chips & dips

A couple of big baked Camemberts with lovely bread, pickles etc.

Or make a curry before you go out and eat it with supermarket naan and bhajis when you get back.

Some lovely ideas, thank you !

Baking cheese, and curry are both on the meal plan for earlier in the week.

I think we’re going with paninis with a choice of fillings plus some nice crisps / olives etc as suggested!

oh sounds lovely.

That sounds lovely .
