What’s your favorite party food?

I generally love pigs in blankets.
I’d generally try party food from anywhere.
It can be hit and miss from year to year.

What’s your favorite party food?

Beef sliders (i.e. mini burgers).
Works with beer or wine.

Superquinn cocktail sausages cooked in the same oven dish that I baked and glazed the ham in. Flavour is delish.

The little corn dogs Tesco have in the freezers.

Mini chicken vol au vents mmmmmmmm

PTH2009

Chicken Vol au vents
Cocktail sausages (not much of a fan of pigs in blankets)
Chicken goujons
partial to a few mini sandwiches too

tickingclock

Homemade sausage rolls made with parmsean and sun dried tomatoes added to the sausage meat.
Now with a few drinks in me I'd eat anything at a party!!
A cheese board just for me. Cashel blue, smoked cheddar, St. Killian camembert. Homemade chutney and decent crackers.

tadgho

A few southern fried chicken gougons usually go down well...😎

DvB

Fond of some nice smoked salmon on brown soda bread or chicken liver pate on toast... divine.

Caranica

I usually make honey, mustard and sesame seed cocktail sausages and they're loved by my family and friends. I went to look for the recipe there, I'd never printed out just used the same website. It's gone I've found some kinda similar but not the one I love. It was by the late Ross Burden.

Oh I love cocktail sausages! Them, and chicken gougons are my two favourites.

I love chicken pate, would be a tough choice between and vol u vents for starters

Captain Red Beard

Whiskey.

otnomart

I love: devils on a saddle, devilled eggs, smoked salmon blinis, pate (also seafood-based) on toasted brioche, gazpacho shots.

Top three for me are: 1) Pigs in blankets 2) Hot & Spicy Prawns 3) Mozzarella Sticks

Dunnes stores frozen sausage rolls cooked in the oven they are fab
Any vol au vents I love them
Chicken Goujons
the Indian selections can be nice too

Only thing I avoid is prawns because I am allergic

I avoid prawns because they're gross!

Me too. Everyone thinks I’m mad cause they taste so good. The texture is horrible and they look gross too.

Would a tempura prawn not tempt you?

My poor late aunt had prawn cocktail for years then one Christmas Day she took a reaction to them, she was in bed after dinner I was up and down the stairs checking on her I never forget it she was so ill, not like her to take to the bed, it wasn't the prawns because my mam had them too

Posy

I can't even be in the same room as a prawn, eeeurgh!

In fairness if the first time I saw one was scurrying around on the floor it would not have occured to me to try to eat it. Ditto for lobster!

Crackers with cheese and jam/cranberry sauce, cocktail sausages, ham sambos from the leftover cooked ham

I used to think prawns were gross but love them now, how on EARTH can you turn down a tempura prawn or filo pastry prawn with sweet chilli sauce... yum.

Surreptitious

Tempura prawns with sweet chili dip
Duck spring rolls with Hoisin dip
Cocktail sausages

John_Rambo

This is a great thread for ideas.

As much as I love prawns, you have to admire the first human to try them. They are a bit mad looking. I wonder was it a survival thing.

Loving the vol eu vent revival, nothing posher than a few in the eighties.

I'm going to put classic butter & garlic fried crab claws out there. With a very cold glass of Chablis.

Spanish Ham Croquettes / Croquetas de Jamón

dartboardio

BBQ ribs
Small roast potatoes with either a taco sauce or garlic aioli
meatballs in tomato sauce
wings of course

Kaybaykwah

Portuguese style fried calamari and a nice IPA.

I tried the potato skins before. As far as I recall they were nice. Their hot and spicy prawns are good.

Along with a pyramid of ferrero rocher.

Recliner

Any M&S party food, especially their prawn selection.
Puff pastry and Stilton bites from Nigel Slater. We make them every year and oh dear Lord, they are the crack of cheesy nibbles.

Lidl actually do little bags of those from time to time in their Spanish specials and they're actually delish. A lot smaller than what you'd be served in Spain but pretty good all the same.

krissovo

Jamie Olivers sausage rolls recipe is amazing, M&S duck & truffle pate with lightly toasted fresh bread is a taste sensation.

Surreptitious

Satay chicken skewers.

freshpopcorn

A confession of mine is I often find M&S stuff to be overrated.

Carrie6OD

Mary Berry’s cocktail sausages baked in mango chutney or nigella’s hot bar nuts. Can’t have Christmas without them.

Happy4all

it's hard to beat a packet of Tayto.

Neames

Cocktail sausages
Chicken wings
Cheese on crackers

sporina

Ardsallagh Goats cheese with cranberry on Sheirdan's brown bread crackers.. hmmmm..

Filo Prawns with sweet chilli sauce.. hmmmmm...

Completely agree and over priced.

I think other super markets have upped their game also

Scotch eggs for breakfast?

Ooooh Matron!!!

Went to the new Lidl store in Clonsilla over the weekend to have a browse (we do our weekly grocery shop in Dunnes) and managed to spend €110 in there, great deals on party food & as we're having a little family get together for NYE said sod it & stocked up, that included 2 slabs of beers for €33 too, fantastic deals there atm.

Day Lewin

Ham sandwiches. (The real thing, home made with thinly sliced ham)

Sam Hain

Creampies

Saw that but not being a cider fan have no idea of the costs but assumed it was a good deal as I saw more than 1 cutomer with a pair of them in their trolleys.
