40 th Bday party menu for 50 ??? Any ideas??

[Crunchie]

I was thinking slow roast pork (24 hour stuff) with apple sauce and 'baps' for the blokes. With Nigellas greek salad, green salad, jkt potatoes or new potato salad for the girls. Plus perhaps a warm chargrilled roast veg salad or roast veg/haloumi type veggie platter.

Culd do some other salads, possibly rice or pasta, or couscous.

Maybe a cheese platter with celery sticks and grapes.

Pudding wuld be strawberries and cream, maybe crushed meranges (SP) and something very very chocolaty

What do you think???

Huge buckets of pimms???

All sounds lovely, chocolate fountain always goes down well.

All guests (not veggies) might well want to have a go at your pork baps [oo-er missus]

Pimms all the way [burp]

Is it your birthday ?

Sounds perfect. My only advice would be to stick to a limited variety of delicious things done well. too many choices can be messy and stressful for you to prepare.
A couple of different chutneys and mustards to go with the pork might be good.

It sounds fab. I agree, don't try to do too many salads, just a couple of huge bowls of a few really good ones. Halloumi would be great to add texture for any veggies who can't have the pork, or a platter of roasted stuffed mushrooms maybe?
