help help help - 12 for supper on Friday and no idea what to cook

[MuchLessTiredNow]

can't believe how quickly this has crept up on me - will be a fork supper with just a few nibbles, then a main, then 2 puddings, but forgot to menu plan!!!! (whoops). so, have done Lasagne, chilli, etc to death - any ideas for a quick one pot meal? (or a couple of quick puds?)

What's a fork supper?

Easy squeasy one pot meal though - curry! Yum.

(Or risotto?)
(Moussaka?)

Tagine?
Casserole?

I'd like to know what a fork supper is too

Beef in guiness, carbonade, goulash, curry, basil lime and garlic chicken?
What about stuff so people can make their own ice cream sundaes as dessert.

slow roast shoulder of lamb a big one should feed twelve with mash or baked spuds and a few green veg

Try a tray baked sticky toffee pud good food have a nice recipe and maybe a blueberry cheesecake

Couscous? (the proper recipe)
Chicken cooked in a pot with veg and rice?

Dessert: chocolate mousse? Plum pie/tart/crumble?

If you are happy to "cheat" try these www.cookfood.net/ they are truely great

Fork Supper = meal that can be eaten easily with a fork. Usually planned seating, often grab a chair and eat on your knee sort of thing i.e. need to balance plate on knee whilst eating therefore cannot cope with a knife and fork IYSWIM

might be too late, but the lamb tagine and couscous recipes I linked to on this thread are tried, tested and enjoyed by two large groups of friends. Am linking to the whole thread incase you find some other ideas on it.
