I want to do coronation chicken, meatloaf, trifle, and what else? Does anyone have favourite recipes for the first two? And what else?

The participants have backgrounds in Scotland, Nigeria, the Caribbean, London and Switzerland. I need to do pre lunch snacks, lunch, tea. Ages range from 3 to 60.

This was the recipe my mum used and it was always lovely, It is probably the origional 1953 one (the piece of paper its written on looks that old!)
1 3lb chicken
1 tblsp oil
1 small chopped onion
1 level tblsp curry powder
1 tsp tomato puree
1/4 pt stock
juice 1/2 lemon
2 tblsp apricot chutney
1/2pt mayonaise
3 tblsp single cream
Fry onion till soft stir in curry powder,and stir round to cook a bit, add tom purre ,s tock ,lemon and chutney. Stir till boiling. Simmer 5 mins and seive into a basin. Cool and stir in mayo and cream.
It also mentions tin foil and water- i think you poached the chiken, it means it is nice and moist
I have never noticed before but at the bottom of the recipe it says serve with boiled rice with french dressing

Lots of cheese straws-buy puff pastry and make them with marmite instead of cheese. Stuffed eggs-boil, cut in half and mash yolks with bovril and stuff back in whites

Wonderful, thanks, more, more..

Scotch eggs, pork pies, egg and tomato sandwiches, cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches, salmon sandwiches, jam sandwiches, fairy or butterfly cakes, set jellies with bits of fruit in, cloudy or still lemonade, a 'tea bar' serving different types of tea in china cups with slices of lemon or an old fashioned milk jug, fruit punch, ginger beer, Pimms.

Half way through making the coronation sauce. Smells wonderful.

Next stop marmite puffs.

Can I say how wonderful this was? I did a slightly lighter more chutneyish version of the coronation chicken and it went down a storm. Caribbean contingent has demanded recipe.

Plus stuffed eggs, rice, roasted chicken quarters, trifle, meringues, fairy cakes to be decorated by children. Plus mini snacks to start including marmite twists.

All v fifties.

Thanks to all.
