Menu for bonfire night?

Chilli is also good on hotdogs, esp. with a bit of cheese (or are chilli cheese dogs too American for bonfire night?):rotfl:


What about some dips, either for veg or crisps as you prefer--a hm salsa if you can get cheap toms, or jalepeno cheese dip or sour cream and chive.

What about drinks--like a spiced hot apple juice or a hot chocolate? Maybe not much cooking but still quite special.

Or roasted autumn veg like bnut squash, parsnips etc. Bnut squash was quite cheap last time I was in Aldi

What about sweat foods--brownies, fairy cakes etc?

We've got 13 for bonfire night. One of them can't come until later so we're having food first and fireworks later. Means I won't have to worry about snacky/dippy things whilst the fireworks are going on.
Doing a huge chilli in the slow cooker and bolognaise in the smaller slow cooker (both already cooked). Rice in the rice cooker as it keeps it warm, jacket potatoes and 'proper' garlic bread. Pavolova (left-over egg whites in the freezer) and a friend bringing a pud. The most expensive thing was the fireworks so if people have asked what to bring, then I've said bring some fireworks or sparklers.

For a gourmet twist on toffee apples, have a look in pound land and see if they have any boxes of after eights. things may have changed but I remember they always had them in there Melt them down, dip the apples and voila!

Alternatively use them as a chocolate fondue for your roasted marshmallows. Stir in a bit of peanut butter for extra goodness:D

Google is our friend... bonfire cupcakes

The Daily Mail ones look interesting

Another vote for chilli, or a big curry with lost of (value) rice. Marshmallows on sticks for children?

Ooh I love bonfire night! We always have all the family round my Nan's for a hot buffet type thing and fireworks.
My mum does a huge pot of chilli and baked spuds- very simple and everyone loves it. Then we do some hot dogs on the bonfire, someone brings something cold and veggie friendly and my sister makes a cake (with a candle or 20 for me as my birthday is a few days after ). There's something hot/cold for everyone from 6 months to 90 years old!
