Re: Buffets & Pakistanis!!
NaZoo:
Buffets and pakistanis just don’t go!! , not for a wedding receptions anyway, especially if they happen to be catering for 300+ people.
I’m sorry, but I refuse to get all dressed up and then be forced to fight my way to a buffet table, armed with only a crappy plate and a teaspoon ( cos they’ve ran outta proper spoons) ..I’m tellin you that armour aint enough! i can’t fight aunty jees, the force is too strong in them.
..noticed how there’s always one family already eating before the rest even get up and then some ppl pile their plates soo high , i dunno, maybe cos they don’t want to face that queue again, or they think it’s embarassing to get up again for food, but the what’s more embarassing than making a teesi on ur plate with a naan balancing ontop of pilau, which is balancing on top of about 10 drumsticks, which are balancing on top of kebabs, wich are balancing ontop of palak gosht which is ontop of chicken salan which are all ontop of zarda:eek:Sheesh then there is queue hopping, which isn’t much hopping as opposed to horizontally sticking both albows out at your side and charging forward towards the food table. eke. ohh yeh, and there’;s also ppl stealing naan from your plate cos they canlt be bothered gettin up and then saying stuff like ‘‘ohh i thougt you were serving’’ when you turn around with the ‘‘wtf’’ look…like hellooo it’s a buffet!
For a small party it’s great though, but for larger parties its just a No NO, unless of course they have ppl there to serve the food, but even at that, its the actual standing in a queue part thats off putting…sheesh have you seen the weight of pakistani dresses
baah i hate weddings, and yeh i’ve recently been to a nightmare buffeted wedding .
another random observation…is it just me or have other people noticed that, note GENERALLY speaking, about siblings, that when it comes to brothers the younger brother is usally better looking than the older bother , but on the other hand the older sister is usually better looking than the younger sister?
Any wedding I go to has the men and women setting in separate sections, both sections having their own buffet. That solves 1/2 your problem. The men don’t have to deal with aunties.
Then the tables are all numbered and they call out one or two tables at a time to go get their food. This works out very nicely. I’ve never seen the food getting finished before everyone has a chance to take some. And a lot of people do bring extra naan in case someone needs some before they go for a second serving.
