Give me your favourite buffet items

[Yvbmioasp]

I'm doing a buffet for 14 at Christmas. I love a nice buffet but I would something special this year.

Can you tell me your favourites please?

Pulled pork - made in the slow cooker
Crusty bread
Cold pasta mayo and cucumber
Bread sticks and dips

Baby potatoes, garlic bread, cheeses. Homemade sausage rolls.

Poached salmon, and a quality pate. I love a spicy option on a buffet, samosas, spring rolls, chicken satay with a peanut and sweet chilli dip. Beef or chicken curry in a slow cooker, or chilli con carne. Baked ham with a marmalade glaze, a cheese board, homemade sausage rolls and quiche and of course a pork pie. Selection of salads, coleslaw, potato salad, crisps, nuts, olives and pickles. I’ve also cooked a Lasagne for a buffet and served with tear and share garlic bread and ceasar salad,you can make the Lasagne ahead and freeze, same for the curry and chilli.

Yum to all of those.

Cold chicken drumsticks.

I don't like lots of faff and lots of things mixed together on a plate.
I'd just like nice bread, nice cheese, grapes, celery, some coleslaw and crisps and some veggie sausage rolls. Maybe some pakora for a bit of spice. And green salad.

All the cheese with crusty bread

Loaded potatoes - bake potatoes (8), slice in half, scoop out potato into a bowl. Add cooked chopped bacon (1 pk) and mushroom (1/2 pack). Add in a pack of garlic soft cheese. Mix well. Refill potato skins and cook for about 15mins. Add cheese on top if you like. Serve with creme fraiche or sour cream. Delish.

I have these with a plain meat like cooker ham, turkey or salmon.

Flatbread topped with red onion chutney, fig, blue cheese and rocket. Looks lovely, tastes delicious.
