80s themed party food

Vol au Vonts, or are they more 70s?

Nutella sandwiches.

Don't forget the curly sandwiches cut into triangles - egg mayo, ham & cucumber and crab paste [xx(]?

Ooh I hadn't thought of vol-au-vents, good idea.

Nutella = food of the devil although it's a good idea and I suppose other people may be strange enough to eat it. ?

I'd say thing s like sausage rolls, pork pies, cocktail sausages, egg sandwiches minus the crusts, bridge rolls.

Hmmm, delightful as they were, perhaps I'll pass on this one. ?

If you're doing cheese and pineapple sticks you have to do cheese and silverskin onions!

Mr S said the same, so we've acquired an old 80s one from Freecycle, he's very excited about it.?

Absolutely anything..... But presented in 'nouvelle cuisine' stylee...


Pot noodles.

Thinking back to teenaged parties -

Ritz cheese biscuits (if they still make them)
Mini cocktail sausages
Silverskin onions
Wotsits/Skips
Birds Trifle
Iced Gems

Oh yeah - scotch eggs.

Black forest gateau, or was that the 70s?

Some fab ideas here, I think I'll do another "hedgehog" complete with pickled onions, cheese and sausages etc. I suppose sausage rolls and the like can be served cold. I always end up spending ages cooking when we have parties so this time I want to have it all ready in advance and not be having to heat stuff up.

That's brilliant there was a red drink - who knows what flavour but i've got a massive craving for it now

have a lovely party

It's actually our joint birthday party and I wanted to get one of these to use as a birthday cake, however MrS has vetoes it as he said it's too 70s!

Mini quiches [xx(]
French Fancies
Party rings

Some fantastic ideas, thanks everyone but you can most definitely keep your pot noodles ONE, although if MrS had his way that's all we would be serving, he loves them. [xx(]

Ackshully.....

(This is probably a me thing)

Kebabs!

Belfast in the '80's - Take away food was Burgers, chips, fish... Umm That's it.

The a wee place opened in Queen Street that did Doners. You ate them at a wee bar. I thought it was the absolute height of multicultural sophistication and all my teenage girlfriends were entertained to a large doner, salad and loads of chilli sauce.

What a man about town I was.

This is food that is normally served at a party hosted by Mr Platty's family ?

I had them at every birthday party I ever had as a child! A speciality of my mums! Along with the cheese and pineapple on a stick and sausages on a stick!

I think if you put cocktail sticks in everything is becomes very 80's!!!

Cocktail umbrellas ?

What are they? Is it when you roll the bread up like a swiss roll and then cut into slices?

I think that's the point. Some famillies (mine included) haven't moved on from the buffet's of the 80s ?

Yep, not sure exactly how you go about making them but I think it may involve cocktail sticks and mild swearing (that's how my mum made them anyway ?). They end up looking like slices of swiss roll.

'Wiz ziz ferrero rocher, monsieur, you are really spoiling uz'

I would attempt to create a ferrero rocher pyramid but not sure how you would keep them balanced. Maybe stick them together with nutella? ?
