Christmas Street Party food

[obbie]

Have decided last nite to do a street party.

I need finger food ideas

we can set up a BBQ

I'm thinking kebabs, sausages, rissoles on a BBQ
and take down finger food  to pass around.

Any ideas, thanks...

Sounds a great idea, but hope everyone else s doing food too.

Meatballs cooked on the BBQ, skewer with toothpicks and serve with a tomato chutney?

I would keep it super simple - meat cooked on BBQ, bread salads and then cakes and slices for dessert.

Those parties are so much fun, no one cares if its just sausages and bread!

I've never been to a street party, but it sounds like fun

You could do some cake pops Robyn? They would be easy for people to grab. And fruit kebabs with marshmallows? What about some of johnro's fudge? Brownies, cupcakes, jelly cups....

You could pass around plates of cold mini quiches, sandwiches, deli meats rolled up with cheese and filled with chutney and skewered with toothpicks, cheese on crackers... um....

Oh Great ideas..  any more, thanks..

If I were going to a street party I would bring  100 small chicken sausage rolls and a bucket of prawns and my esky  of course.

Definitely Johnro's Salted Caramel Fudge just too delicious for words

Obbie, how are you organising this, door kocking. Do you know your neighbours?

We thought ofnhaving a few over for drinks etc, but a street party would be much better,

Hally, we really know a fair few in the estate, as they have been there for a fair few years.

Just ring up, or email, and say street party tomorrow,  (what time) grab drinks, chairs,  and what ever biccies, dips, food stuff you have on hand already.   Set a a BBQ, and  enjoy. the company.  i'm thing kebabs, sausages ect for a bbq.  pizzas cut up, easy finger food.
 Not too much pressure, all plastic plates, serviettes. no clean up really.

It worked last year.

When we lived in a cul de sac when my kids were all at home we had street parties. There were 12 homes in the street and we used to set up tables at the end of the cup de sac. Each family brought a sweet and a savoury dish, easy type finger food, and of course some drinks. The food was for sharing and not complicated and it was so much fun. Sometimes a barbie was set up but the platters were easier and relaxing for everyone.

Another suggestion for you Robyn which I do quite often is buy a pack of those little mini pate toasts, spread on a layer of black olive tapenade, then a slice of baby bocconcini, semi sun dried tomato and top it off with a fresh basil leaf and a drizzle of evoo. They're always really popular, look great on a platter, are great finger food and they also look festive with the red and green!

Dont even know names, only the olds next door & the other olds across the road.

What if no-one came

Make up a big batch of stir fry veg and noodles (like singapore noodles) and serve in little noodle boxes or paper cups. Noodles are cheap and a little goes a long way.

I have those mini toasts in my pantry...


Hally, they would come, believe me..

Hally, what a great way to get to know the neighbours. Type out a leaflet with the details and a cut off RSVP on the bottom of the page. Do a letterbox drop around the street.

I'm sure everyone will get in the spirit and it will become an annual event.
