Requests for party food, please. Suzy and myself are going to have a cooking bonanza on Tuesday as we are both free, but we can't think of stuff to make... apart from pie, but that brings up the question of... What kind of pie? Savoury or sweet? Both?
So yes, please some cooking suggestions. I'd like to make a few savoury things too.
PS. There will be no drugs in my catering either.

Apple and cinnamon pie tends to go down well. Just remember to make small, individual pies rather than a big whole one otherwise it'll be harder to carry around and serve. For savoury pies, remember that there might be veggies in our midst so might be an idea to keep meat pies (if you decide to make any) clearly seperate from the others...of course, I'm just trying to second guess what you guys plan to make. In the world of the bizarre and wonderful, I remember my chinese flatmate in Dundee (A cooking maestro I might add) made a regular pie but put chocolate in it. She was also adamant that pouring a little coca-cola over chicken while you're frying it gives it a special 'zing'...but then I also happen to know that the flavourings used in Coke evaporate when heated, hence the 'Serve chilled' label.

I'm sure it was wonderful, but the idea of a chocolate meat pie makes me want to throw up! Yeah, apple and cinnamon is good. I made a raspberry and rhubarb one once. It was sharp, but I loved it. We shall experiment. I completely forgot about vegetarians, so thank you for that!!! I know there's at least three 'cause someone asked at the last meeting. We'll stick to sweet pies. Savoury ones sorta freak me out anyway. And sweet pies are NOT tarts (in case anyone says anything). A tart does not have a proper lid, whereas a pie does. They may turn out to be tarts depending on the amount of pastry I have, but there is such a thing as a sweet pie. Sorry, I had this discussion with someone once.
What do people like in their sandwiches? And do they prefer little squares or little triangles? I'm a triangle girl myself, but not everyone's that cool. Pizza? Sausage rolls? Is someone making jelly? Do we have a hoover-type person who can eat the leftovers? Does anyone want muffins again? I'll make less than 48 this time.
I know I'm taking this far to seriously. I can't help it. It's the way I'm built.
I find the coke thing funny 'cause if you boil coke in a pan it'll remove anything that's burnt there. ANYTHING! I learnt that off Kim and Aggie. The zing is possibly little bits of previously burnt stuff that come off when the coke goes in... I'm not slagging your flatmate or their cleaning habits, just to clarify, it was just a non-linear thought that went through my head.

I know! I told her again and again that it's having no effect and the whole 'zing' thing was all in the mind but Lan, the flatmate, was having none of it. Apparently the chemical used for flavouring in cola and stuff was originally used in foods but when it was cooked and heated, the chemical evaporated so they put it in soft drinks instead. Pizza'll have to be blitzed to a crisp to make it edible 'cause by the time it's brought up it'll be cold and the cheese putrified into a rubbery mess (unless we order one guys?), and sausage rolls have the unfortunate habit of never being eaten. I myself was intending to grab a few big bags of high-quality crisps like Fry's or possibly some plain nachos with assorted dip accompanyment and bring them along, possibly with a bottle of cider.

You raise an intresting point with the sausage rolls there... You're completly right in saying that they never get eaten. Of course, a handful do make it to the promised lands of assorted stomachs but the rest of them are condemed to watch in lonely misery as all the other party foods (particualarry the ones which can be drowned repeatedly in fancy dips) dissapear as the shindig continues. So at every party there is usually always sausage rolls left over, unless there is a severe lack of anything else to eat, meaning so many sausage rolls must get discarded at the end of so many parties. The numbers must equal sausage roll genicide... Probably best just not to bother with them really

In the end, what DID happen to all that party food?

It was shipped to the Soviet Union at my behest, there to fill the bellies of our glorious Communist allies and fuel the forging fires of the Great Motherland.
Russia will rise again! M&S nachos boost productivity by eleven percent!
