What is your starter for your wedding breakfast?

Hello and welcome to Hitched!! How about smoked salmon or pate? That is the choices we have at the moment. Jx

Hi Janey! We've gone for a leek and potato soup. Both our parents are fussy eaters and wont eat anything too complicated so our menu is pretty standard!

We are having Caeser salad followed by roast parsnip soup, then pork with apple sauce and veg then passionfruit cheesecake then coffee and mints. Not spicy or garlicky but delicious all the same!!

Our wedding is a Summer wedding (a year today - woohoo!) so we're having a tomato and red onion salad with mozarella and a balsamic dressing x

Thank you for your quick replies. The soups are a no no! He wouldn't eat smoked salmon and both don't like pate! Don't have many options do I?!

He is a traditional meat and 2 veg man! I even heard his mum say the other day 'I tried pasta once when we were on holiday!' ?

your menu's all sound lovely though

A few suggestions, (all these will depend on the rest of your menu of course)

A collection of mini starters (canapes on a plate style) then H2B can give you the ones he doesn't like ?

Melon can be done quite fancy with a raspberry coulis or a mixed berry sauce

if you have the budget - how about smoked duck with a small salad and either a raspberry coulis or an orange marmalade.

Hope that helps

Do you like mushrooms? How about field mushrooms with a nice cheese melted on them?

Oops sorry I misread your post! I still have a hangover from last night! (Thats my excuse!)

What about breaded mushrooms - but without the garlic? Or with garlic sauce on the side so everyone else can dip if they want and OH can just have the mushrooms?

Sorry i cant help hun!

Our starters are:

Half Of a Fresh Gallia Melon
Filled With Sorbet Laced With Raspberry Coulis and

Atlantic Prawns In a Marie Rose Sauce and salad!

A few other starter ideas are:

Deep Fried Mushrooms With a Garlic Mayonnaise Dip
Caeser salad
Bruschetta
Duck and Ginger Spring Rolls
Sun Blushed Tomato and Pepper Pizza with Mozzarella
Curry roasted parsnip soup with coriander and almonds

xx

Just as another suggestion how about a potato stack? Basically a potato rosti on the bottom and the top with layers of veggies (or meat) inbetween and a complimentary sauce.

Or a mini potato gratan with a cheesey sauce (possible putting parma ham or bacon in the sauce)

Can you tell I cook for a living lol ?

This is our menu...

I'm also having leek and Potato soup!!! the only thing i can suggest is Brucetta topped with roasted peppers and cheese. maybe your OH can give you an idea of what he wants, if you don't like it he could always have something different to your other guests!

We are having a choice of 2 and as im snap happy i took pics of them all!! Please excuse the eaten bits, o/h could wait apparantly!

1st is

Chicken liver pate, balsamic syrup and toasted brioche

2nd is

Warm plum tomato & mozzarella tart and a mix salad pesto sauce.

Again please excuse the slightly eaten bit, that was dad!

HTH

WE are haing a choice of 2 - Leek & Potato soup or Caesar Salad

We had:

BLT on Grilled Ciabatta with Crispy Smoked Bacon, Plum Tomato and Gem Lettuce

This sounds right up H2B's street!!!

Baked somerset brie with a chutney and salad....it's yummy! Can't wait now!

We are having Duck Confit served with a Chilli Mango Salsa yummy!!!!!

?

We went for Bruschetta with roasted peppers, rocket and mozzarella for our starter - tried it a couple of weeks back and it was yummy! Decided on this as could be eaten by everyone who is coming and is a fairly safe bet! xx

We are having smoked haddock fishcakes with a chilli dipping sauce and fo the vegetarians roasted beetroot with apple salad

What about half a stuffed pepper? You could have it stuffed with rice, or cheese or other vegetables. Or stuffed aubergine?

Getting hungry just thinking about it!!! x

well Im afraid we're going for the good old fashioned vegetable soup and bread roll! You could do a spicy tomato soup with ciabata or something like that if you liked! or spicy vegetable maybe? We had the choice on ours of mushroom, leek and potato, tomato and basil, or carrot and coriander soup. So theres a few more wee ideas for ya!

We are having smoked chicken breast with mango mayo. sounds odd, tastes amazing!

We had asparagus, parma ham and a balsamic glaze with a parmsean crisp, and a caramelised onion tart for the veggies. The former might tick his not too fussy but tasty box?

We're having melon, mainly because we have lots of allergies and this covers everyone!

My Dad and my niece have Coeliac disease and my niece has only recently been diagnosed (she's 7) so I don't want her to feel different by being given a different meal, trying not to draw attention to it. We also have a nut allergy and a vegetarian so melon covers everyone, even if it is boring!

We are having Mushroom Risotto with parmesan shavings

Mmmm...can I come please?!! We still haven't decided on our menu. I printed off a copy in an effort to narrow the choices down. Ended up putting a tick next to pretty much every starter, main & dessert! Doh! ?

I think we might go for a vegetable-arian option... Goats cheese, thyme & olive tapenade tartlet/ crab & salmon fish cakes (I know these aren't veggie) or brie, roasted pepper and caramelised onion tartlet/ butternut squash & sage risotto...

Too many choices!!

We ar having a buffet wedding breakfast so I suppose my starter will be champagne and rose wine lol?

We are having a fantail of melon served with seasonal fruit with raspberry coulis.
