Re: Lucnh Party Menu ..... Help

Too many items on the menu, its a banquet!

Theres no children specific foods, id make mini pizzas or mini burgers for them fussy ones
Also theres no vegetarian option.

I think children can eat both noodles and rice without any problem.

She has vegetables in the chicken, noodles, and rice and so a salad would make it complete.

I would say just go with a regular toss/garden salad with squeezed lemon.

Anyway, if you want a seperate vegi dish then just go with a simple mix vegetables. you can also make them in sweet and sour sauce but if you go with a vegetarian option then skip cutlets.

Also spring rolls can be served as appetizers.

You have 3 chicken dishes and 2 dishes containing qeema. How r u going to do this, buffet style or sit down?

If sit down, i would advise putting everything on the table at the same time (except dessert) so ppl can help themselves, but i would definitely change the menu. Rice and Noodles are 2 types of bulky items, shouldnt u have just one choice? Then u can have one type of chicken dish with it. Then have qeema based curry with some naan breads. Spring rolls and potato qeema cutlets sound good. U should also make 2 types of salad, such as fresh greek salad with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion, olives, sweet peppers, feta cheese cubes, dressed with lemon juice, olive oil and pepper dressing. And a potato salad, u can make it healthy by adding some yogurt to the mayo.

Trifle is always a favourite.

Try to keep things simple and prepare things in advance.
