Savoury recipe to feed 8+

[ggglimpopo]

Assuming I don't give birth this afternoon (fat chance) I have just opened my diary and realised that this evening is the annual dinner for the sailing club parents thing.....

Tis posh and I am apparently expected to bring along a plate of something to serve roughly 8.

I need something impressive (ohhh yes, am not going to have the chic maman fraternity delicately nibbling my offering and exchanging raised eyebrow glances) and easy. Has to be savoury and not another quiche or couscous salad.

Plerase help me keep up with the Duponts. What should I take. Recipes/ideas please!

No, can be cold and impressive.

ok
How about

Duck pancakes with hoi sin sauce/cucumber/spring onion

Samosas (if you can be arsed)

Smoked mackeral and horseradish on bits of french toast

Marinaded lamb and somethingorother skewers

or old fave smoked salmon on rye or poilane with watercress black pepper and lemon juice
not impressive but easy and delicious

CD she's being very particular, we will NEVER please this hormonal woman

oh sorry have not read rest of thread

How about foie gras and onion marmaladey sort of thing on something

if you did give birth you could serve placenta canapes

ffs ggg
am I talking to myself here

Italian ham spread with pesto and wrapped aroung chicken breasts. Sprinkle with black pepper and drizzle with olive oil.

Bung in oven till ham slightly crispy.

Sighs patiently (hormones throbbing). Needs to be main. Cant be arsed with threading dead sheep on sticks.

I am going to end up going to the traiteur and spending fkng fortune and passing it orf as mine, arent it?

Or the chicken curry. There is always that chicken curry recipe but then that leaves rice issue..... I am not cooking rice (have internet shop coming tomorrow, have no rice left)

fried cheicken breasts, dolloped with pesto and slices of mozzarella and bunged under grill.

oh MAIN

You didn't say in the OP

How about curry on naan bread rather than rice if you can buy it

Placenta au vin would go down well, specially if it was a Pomerol. French like their offal.

Buerk buerk.

Yum to pomerol though.

or get some brique and make substantial spring roll things they are YUM

hahahhah to naan bread in downtown bordeaux. I would have to make it?

don't bother with rice, pick up some nan bread or popodoms (sp?) at your local Indian on the way to the do!!

well they must have sodding brique

oops x posts!

I know I am being difficult.

I need to be Inspired.

Am going to have calming cup of tea.

Sob.

(will jog downstairs to bring on labour to avoid said dinner party thing as am sans plat chaud)

...nan bread..??

No fucking naan or poppadoms locally. No indian restuarants within easy driving distance.

Lots of wine, garlic, foie gras.

oh sod it..... just pretend to go into labour!

AND BRIQUE???

Yes, there is brique.

What to do with brique.

That is the question.

fgs, answer CD before she combusts...
