Something to take to family buffet please

[AliasGrape]

Over Christmas we will be having a get together with my side of the family for one of the days. We’ve agreed to all bring a dish or two.

The hosts are making a curry and sides to go with it that we will be having probably later in the evening. The rest of us have said we’ll bring stuff to cover either lunch when we first arrive/ nibbles throughout the day or to bulk out the curry and also dessert.

Already volunteered and covered -

• Guacamole, sour cream dip and chips plus veg sticks
• Cheese and biscuits
• Mince pies
• Mini chocolate pot desserts

What shall I take?

I normally take sweet stuff to these sorts of things - I make a rocky road that’s often requested or other baking, but I feel like the sweeter things have already been covered

Other considerations:

1. We will be travelling 2 hours to get there, so whatever it is needs to travel well and ideally be made or mostly made the day before
2. I will have been hosting a lot over Christmas itself (different side of family) and by the time of this event I’m unlikely to have much energy/ enthusiasm left for anything particularly challenging
3. Full kitchen facilities when we get there for anything that needs chilling or reheating etc
4. Other family members are very big foodies and amazing cooks all of them, I’m an ok cook in that I do the basics fairly well but nothing to knock your socks off - there’s no point me going for glory here - I’m just after something that represents a decent contribution and is likely to be appreciated by most
5. Mostly adults - my DD and one other child will be there, but both pretty good eaters so no need to cater separately for them

So - that’s all a very long winded way of asking for suggestions or simple recipes if anyone has any please?

Soup and crusty bread.

Thanks all for the suggestions - just to clarify the things I said were already covered were just what people had volunteered so far, not the complete menu! There’s been more stuff offered since then. A ham being one of them, couple of salads and some other side dishes for the curry.

I still haven’t actually decided, beyond the samosas which I will definitely take, not been well and not wanted to think much about food. But there’s some great suggestions and it will no doubt be one or two of them!
