    Hey Martin - just have a 'round robin' - then it won't cost a penny and we can all sample the wonderful recipes others have posted. :D

    (You haven't got your Old Style head on yet, if you're thinking of spending £15 for the party. Mind you - if you could get someone else to pay :D:D)

    Do you mean that everyone brings one of their recipes ? Cooked and ready to eat?

    Martin could end up making a profit!:j

  • How many slow cookers would be needed to feed 500? there would have to be a few plug sockets available....if we are all coming I bet that Queenie would offer to cross stitch our name badges, should she get started now?

    That got me thinking :think: We'd need a really big pot and really it'd be more economical to hang it over an open fire........ then there's be people throwing odd ingredients like belly of pork and eye of newt.......would be all be wearing our MSE cloaks with a safety pin on the lapel and pointy hats? :j

    Hoorah for the MSE ol' style coven!!!!! :D

    Cut all the sandwiches into 6, they'll go further, Oh, that's HM, in the breadmaker bread, of course.

    See our collections thread then the recipe index for suggestions of what sandwich fillings freeze best. Then you can buy one filling per week between now and next year and spread the cost :rotfl:

    And somewhere on the recipe index should be HM vegetable crisps - they freeze well too :D

    EDIT: ROFPMSL @ old style coven
    When life hands you a lemon, make sure you ask for tequilla and salt ;)

    As an editor/journalist myself, and a "sister" in the NUJ, I'm perfectly willing to help if required.

    But I want to point out one thing - if people have copied a recipe straight from a book or magazine onto here, they need to quote the source because that will already be copyright protected too.
