Buffet Tribute Thread

Weddings, funerals, Christmas, birthdays, you can't beat a good a buffet, my absolute favourite foods in the world. 

 

Nuts, crisps, small pork pies and testicle-sized Scotch eggs, flan triangles, if you're feeling a bit exotic - samosas (cold of course) and pakoras (which are also actually Samosas but nobody dare question the difference). Sausages on a stick, vaul-a-vents, some with cheese in, some with chicken mayo. 

 

Oh marone!

 

Let's have some buffet love.

I think you mean to say that pakoras and bhajis are the same thing.

 

Mushroom vol-au-vents are the king of the vol-au-vent world.

 

But, yeah, buffets are perhaps the crowning achievement of Western civilisation.

 

Never too sure what the correct buffet protocol is, though. When we had her dad's wake last year, nobody was touching the buffet. Apparently people weren't eating it because it's expected that the family are supposed to go first. But her family always operated on the principle that a good host allows the guests first go at it. The undertaker had to come over and have a word in the end.

A merge of British buffet food and Spanish tapas could probably solve world peace.

 

Would need to use Spanish etiquette (or lack of) though. It would solve Stronts' scenario, for example. When do we start...oh yeah, when we are hungry.

 

 

The buffet style food of a cricket tea is pretty much why I was playing for the last year or two. I couldn't give it up.

We had one last Sunday for my belated B'day celebrations. 

 

Quiche is a must imo as is a nice homemade potato salad. I also made the following which went down well. Soft bread with the crusts removed, smeared in cream cheese and rolled up, wrapped in bacon then in the oven for 20 minutes on 210°C.

This thread reminded me that I had a pork pie in the fridge. I haven’t anymore. 

One of the main things I miss being over here. I can basically make my own Sausage Rolls, Scotch eggs etc. But Pork Pies are a pain in the arse to make yourself and get right. We can get them in one or two British shops but I rarely shop in those as you need to take out an overdraft to pay their prices.

When I depart this earth can you lot look after the buffet for me?

 

I want the pork pies brought in from Melton Mowbray that day

I’ll sort it. I’ll make it look like a Melton Mowbray food fayre 

 

Dale will misread the memo and bring a porcupine but other than that it will be sound

Cheers mate, I am not arsed if you miss the service due to traffic. I have family down South and actually took a detour on the way down to Melton Mowbray to sample the sausage rolls. I picked up other bits for the family too

 

Both shame and delight in one mouthful, the shame of driving 150 miles for a sausage roll and the delightful taste

Had to give up Cricket for this

Was getting so fat gorging on the buffet tea I could barely move afterwards 

Was ok if we were batting as I was down the order but bowling was a nightmare... it was more like waddling

There's nothing finer than hot sweet tea and a mound of sarnies, pork pie, cake and crisps
