I had that at our Boxing day tea, and another with silverskin onions and cheese
As for other things for the OP... sausage rolls always featured quite heavily at parties in our house, and definitely celery too!0 -
Just trying to think back now:- Bowls of crisps, vol au vents with campbells condensed soup in them, pizza fingers, sos rolls, cheesy hedgehogs, ham (boiled), gherkins, branston, cheese, quiche, drum sticks, pork pie with a long egg in it.
I not easy as in those days we were just getting into eating "foreign muck" and party food was very much like your old style Sunday high tea? Don't forget that evil pink wine - What was it called?? la pis'd-og??? The quicker you fall behind, the longer you have to catch up...0 -
Prawn cocktail is very 70's but do it with a jamie twist - serve a dollop of prawns in cocktail sauce on a little jem lettuce leaf. Easy to pick up and eat in a mouthfull and prawns are half price in sainsburys0
