Bonfire Night Menu - what do you think?

[Weegle]

There will be 8 adults, 1 x 7yr old, 3 x 4 yr olds, 2 x 2 yr old, 1 x 1yr old. It needs to be reasonably quick to eat, outside round the fire before leaving for the town parade. I've come up with the following - would your kids eat enough of this and be suitable for adults:

Tomato & Basil Soup in Mugs
Caramelized Onion Bread
Sweet Chilli Sticky Sausages
Sweetcorn Fritters
Nachos with salsa, cheese, soured cream, jalapenos
Honeyed drumsticks
Sticky Ribs

Hot Chocolate Sauce and Strawberries to dip
Warm skewers of cinnamony apple & pear with butterscoth dip
Choc rice krispie squares with dried blueberries & cranberries & white choc

Warm fruity punch to drink

Is that enough choice? Too much? Enough for a fussy eater or two to find something they might like to keep them going?

sounds yum yum to me, i wsh i was your friend.
sounds fab idea, i mgiht as well, have fruit salad in case som peeps like ehalthy sback.

What time would you like us all?

It sounds fab, although quite heavy on the meat.

I think the standard is soup, and sauaages in rolls. Your menu is well above and beyond.

yes I wondered if too heavy on the meat - hence veggie soup and the corn fritters... what other vegetable could I offer that is effectively finger food?

Sounds delicious,can I come too?

sounds good, though perhaps too much choice? You could simplify a little to save yourself some money and aggro!

My lo would eat all the sausages! Sounds very tasty to me, I'm only doing a huge pot of stew for people to help themselves to & some bonfire toffee & maybe some choc dipped apples

Thanks everyone - maybe I'll drop either thr drumsticks or ribs.

Think it'll be fairly easy as I can make soup in advance and freeze, same with bread & sweetcorn fritters. The rest is just chuck in a pan with the ingredients on the night.

mmm, getting excited now!

Sounds wonderful. we usually have a 'do' for Bonefire night. We usually have veg curry and chilli, with jacket spuds. I might have to steal some of your ideas this year though! I think the nachos would go down well with the kids.

Sounds amazing! We had fireworks for 16 kids, mostly preschoolers or infants plus their parents. I decided to make things exciting/easy by cooking fishfingers and chips for the children, but serving them in cones I made from newspaper (with the white paper you get from chip shops/removal people wrap with inside) so all the children had a cone of food to eat with a disposable fork. It went really well and the parents were as excited about giving the cones to their children as the children were to eat from them, maybe more excited! Some of them couldn't get the last 1 or 2 chips from the bottom, but otherwise a success I think!
