we are doing our own food for the disco as it worked out much cheaper and we got the option with the venue.... now will you help me make a list of the best must haves for a buffet or even interesting unusual buffet food that will give it a bit of excitement help ladies xx
While you'll want a full meal on a buffet, having too many options here can break the bank. Instead, choose a few different meat, fish or vegetarian options, focusing on affordable staples like bread, pasta, and potatoes. Plenty of vegetables and salad will also help fill out your guest's plates. People in general have a tendency to want to try everything, so it's likely they'll have a little of everything, rather than a lot of one thing. This means you don't have to allow for huge portion sizes on the expensive items within your buffet.
With a buffet, you can offer more than two main options, have a really high-quality meal, and still spend less than you would on a sit-down meal.
For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart
It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.
