Advice needed - day after wedding food.
| # | Post |
|---|---|
| 1 | I am catering a wedding soon and also doing the Sunday lunch food. The brief is ham and keep it simple. I will do hot ham, tomatoes, cucumber, green salad and breads and spreads. Is there something I am missing? Simple is good and what is requested but I need to make it special. Thanks in advance for any advice. petmacorpltd - 2019-04-12 19:28:00 |
| 2 | petmacorpltd, I don't know if I'm a bit old-fashioned here but along with the vegetable and salad accompaniments, etc. I'm wondering if you had any condiments in mind for with the ham e.g. something pineapple such as pickled pineapple (Alison Holst's recipe below) - maybe made with crushed pineapple and thickened if you think appropriate. Alison Holst's PICKLED PINEAPPLE Drain the juice/syrup from the pineapple into a saucepan containing the remaining ingredients. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes (until liquid is reduced to 1 cup). Add the pineapple, return to the boil, then remove from the heat. Arrange the fruit attractively in a straight sided jar. Fill with syrup. Refrigerate 24 hours before use. Store in the refrigerator. Hope that helps. :-)) 245sam - 2019-04-12 22:44:00 |
| 3 | A large bowl each of some other filling salads - eg potato salad, eggs in mayonnaise, rice salad, etc - would go down well too. Easy to make, simple, and gives those with diet issues more options.... autumnwinds - 2019-04-12 23:44:00 |
| 4 | Asparagus rolls are usually popular, and even simple sausage rolls, and garlic bread go down well. nzhel - 2019-04-13 00:08:00 |
| 5 | Even bean salad can be simple - get a large catering can (A10 size) from Gilmores or similar wholesale outlets.... autumnwinds - 2019-04-13 00:09:00 |
| 6 | For the bean salad I jazz it up a bit and add whole kernal corn, chopped celery and diced tomatoes, garlic salt and lemon pepper. Loosen with olive oil if required. Always a big hit - I call it 'Confetti Salad' so appropriate too :) bisloy - 2019-04-14 14:29:00 |

| 8 | If you have non meat eaters the Dannys falafels are lovely, they are frozen, and easy to heat up. I would do green leaves, a coleslaw. platters of sliced toms, cucumber, red onion, cheese slices. Beetroot. Bowls of potato chip's, chutneys, hummus, mustards, mayo and a chilli sauce. You could do a large pot of soup, easy for people to serve themselves. Serve wraps sliced breads and rolls for variety. ruby19 - 2019-04-26 19:14:00 |

One thing to add - gourmet condiments - a great relish, a good strong mustard and something else. duckmoon - 2019-04-26 19:59:00 |

| 12 | Good bread, ham on the bone, mustard and coleslaw - perfect “after party” food but not hot ham with salad. sarahb5 - 2019-04-29 22:03:00 |
